I zap about twice a week to get rid of anything I may have picked up: viruses, bacteria, worms, you name it. Five minutes and they’re all dead (see Hulda Clark’s The Cure for All Diseases for details). Go to Site
Wow, finally a strong woman is standing up for men. I watched myself get steamrolled in kiddie court time and time again, facing a staff that was 95% female, and was still expecting a fair shake. I endured so much; and other men are faring no better. Time for change.
Terrific book on vaccine studies conducted over the last twenty years. The difference between what we’re told in the media and what is really going on is astounding, and deplorable. Wall Street doctors need to be sent packing.
The Lifeonaire program: Had I started out with this kind of advice, it would have profoundly affected the approach I used to achieve success, and what I considered to be success in the first place.
Bulletproofing your home certainly sounds like a good thing. When you prep, you have to think of protecting the lives of your family members, and all you’ve stored.
The Lost Ways: Americans didn’t used to have all we have today: electricity, running water, heat… and they survived. Back then, they called it “daily life.” We should never lose these abilities.
Darkest Day: Survival course that offers fundamental methods of survival in a permanent grid-down scenario. Great investment for a reasonable prepper who wants to avoid panic at the worst time.
Did you know you can actually recondition batteries you think are used up? Cell phone batteries, car batteries, you name it. This is worth knowing if you don’t have enough rechargeables on hand.
Pure Natural Healing: Everybody knows rubbing a painful area helps. Wouldn’t it be nice if you actually had a scientific approach to maximize its effectiveness? Try this and forget organ killing drugs.
I love The Fat Burning Kitchen. So many parallels to what I’ve learned about health, nutrition, and anti-aging can be found here, helping you eat your way to vibrant energy, a better appearance, and less pain.
Great video on Diabetes and what’s really behind it. I’ve been trying to get Mom to follow this advice; wish me luck. If you have loved one’s suffering with Diabetes, look into this.
The benefits of bone broth are many, but I won’t take the time to make it. Aaand, I’ve been looking for a way to make my favorite morning treat more healthy. Voila, man’s ingenuity created bone broth powder, good for drinks and dishes alike.
Good place to research what forms of protection you want to have if the worst should happen. The best way to get past the fear of firearms is to become competent with them. Guns are fun, and in the right hands, protect us all.
This is an iodine/iodide supplement that I’ve found offers laser sharp focus. Most of us are deficient in iodine, so a few drops in my morning coffee works much better than caffeine.
After years of philosophical introspection and application, I realized I could take it farther than Rand and Aristotle did. Moral Armor is the result; a ten year effort to define an all-life integrating moral philosophy based on nature itself.
My hat is off to the greatest philosopher of the 20th century. Together, I consider Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead to be more valuable than a college education, though the “capitalism” we presently endure is the exact opposite of what she extols. It’s time for that to change.
Ayn Rand offers the projection of an ideal man, chronicling the pitfalls and triumphs of Howard Roark from college age to fame as an architect. An immensely challenging book, it explores what happens when a man accepts nothing less than the best from himself and others.
One of the best, most inspirational business books I have ever read. The Founding Fathers paved the way for us to achieve so much. Trump shocked the world and showed us all what is possible to every American as a result.
Brian Tracy is an encyclopedia of success. I trust him to provide a good foundation of what it takes to live your life efficiently in order to achieve whatever you want. It starts with figuring that out.
Time is something you can’t get back, no matter how wealthy you become. Spend it wisely; Brian Tracy will help you with the best strategies for doing so.
Tim Ferris offers a whole different way of approaching life, integrating a new kind of entrepreneurship from what the internet has made possible. Few books offer a true paradigm shift; this is one of them.
It’s hard to beat Tony Robbins for inspiring us to live at our best. He clears the way for you to take “massive action”, and achieve at the height of your true abilities. He stays away from the subject of morality though; but that’s fine. That’s why I’m here.
Think in a constructive, purpose-driven way, and you will grow rich. Account for the pattern of cognition while doing so and the journey will be more fulfilling than you ever thought possible.
Nathaniel Branden was an understudy of Ayn Rand and an excellent thinker in his own rite. His work on self-esteem is clear, effective, and emotionally freeing.
You don’t have to be in a relationship to study up on romance; perhaps that’s the best time. Let objectivity help you choose before you’re blinded by love. Her approach to compatibility is a real eye opener.
Dr. Barbara DeAngelis is my favorite romance counselor. I recommend finding and listening to all of her work. Her approach is realistic and compassionate; honest and down to earth. Can’t go wrong.
Ricardo Semler is a Brazilian businessman who’s approach to running a company astonishes me. He focuses on the maximum freedom of his people, even letting them set their own salaries. Get ready for shock, and as you read, remember that everything he’s doing works. Spectacularly.
Ricardo Semler expands on his business approach which does away with “top-down” management. You can get more done with little stress if you trust your people to think for themselves. Everyone will enjoy their time at work more as well.
There are people out there you just can’t get through to. It isn’t a matter of defeat; you deal with them and move on as quickly as possible, dropping the negativity in the garbage as you depart. This will help.
If you notice the haze we all live under now, the trails that criss-cross the sky and spread out during the day, you should know it isn’t vapor (which dissipates in minutes), but bio-warfare toxins aimed at us under cover of global warming.
Chronicles the history and devastating impact of corrupt wealth on our lives. Property rights are not worth preserving if they own all the property. Wealth cannot be permitted to concentrate in such a way into the future.
The origins of corrupt wealth and the shadow they have cast over world history. It is time for this to end. World monetary structures must be redesigned and the concentrations of systemic financial cancer dissolved.
Dr. Perricone’s breakthrough book, explores the foundation of his work on anti-aging, the treatments, approaches, and supplements that mitigate and reverse the effects of aging and offer better overall health.
Dr. Perricone’s research is on the cutting edge of skincare. His focus is anti-aging; reducing inflammation at the cellular level by controlling free radicals to help us maximize health and enjoy a lifelong youthful radiance.
You can work out your facial muscles just like any others; what a concept! These exercises are perfect for on the way to work or whenever you have some privacy. You don’t have to get surgery to stay looking young.
There’s nothing like a face massage and deep clean to wake you up in the morning. They say not to use it on your eyes, but I do, lightly. I don’t use the expensive cleanser they offer, however. I stick with organics.
I’m not convinced some berry from a different planet can provide what my skin has lost over the years; just give me back what I’ve lost! Vitamin C, DMAE, and Alpha Lipoic Acid does just that. Restores cells. Great stuff.
The eye serum doesn’t burn…you can’t use the face cream around your eyes due to the level of Alpha Lipoic Acid in it. Reduces puffiness and restores cellular health.
Great day skin cream with TGF helping to reverse collagen loss. I alternate for face, ears and neck with either Alpha Lipoic Acid cream alone or the triple cream: Alpha Lipoic Acid, DMAE, and Ester C.
Alpha Lipoic Acid plugs holes in cells caused by free radical damage, which is an essential component of anti-aging treatment. It is also a chelator, removing toxic heavy metals from the body. I use it topically and as a supplement.
Easier to absorb form of Vitamin C; doesn’t hurt your stomach. Considered instant exercise, Vitamin C does it all; it’s an overall repair source for the body, but the body doesn’t make it. We get it from food or we have to supplement.
DMAE is an anti-oxidant that improves brain activity and reactivates capillaries on the surface of the skin, acting as an instant face-lift. It is found in fish. I take it in supplement form as well as topically in face creams.
The best SPF face lotion I’ve found so far that has no evil chemicals such as phthalates and parabens. Smells good and goes on light.
This was recommended by a doctor, not for teeth, but to keep my ears clean inside. I use it for both. At medium power, it takes care of ear build up and does it comfortably. Works great for the pearlies, too.
I switched to this model at the behest of my dentist who was concerned I was using too much pressure (it monitors this). Improved brush head motion leaves my teeth feeling much cleaner than the last generation. Much better than Sonic.
Best toothpaste I have found. Introduces good bacteria to cut down on odors from bad bacteria for an overall healthier mouth. Be sure to order non-fluoride. Often, I get sent the fluoride version anyway, so they have to resend.
Therabreath products are the best I’ve used. Fresh breath lasts most the day. Swish, gargle and enjoy the confidence that people aren’t holding their breath and are free to engage and process what you’re saying!
Praised by many MD’s, examines over 400 vaccine studies and exposes the truth about them all: faked and omitted data, direct correlation between vaccines and autism, clear risks to the fetus in pregnant women taking the flu vaccine, scare tactics by the CDC and financial collusion between our agencies and big pharma.
Chelation therapy using EDTA strips away plaque build up in arteries and avoids surgery. Mom went the stent route, dad went the EDTA route. She is stuck with a host of expensive drugs (and more stents) for life, he is not.
There are other brands (this is all I could find on Amazon). EDTA has gone through clinical trials to prove it works better than invasive surgery to help heart patients. Intravenous is most effective, but if you take the pills daily, calcium deposits will dissolve, blood flow will improve, heart attack and stroke risk will drop.
Never have I gotten so much from one book. This is Dr. Clark’s life’s work, put in the hands of the people instead of the doctors. She found that all major diseases have two common elements: industrial poisons and living parasites.
Great organic shampoo; smells like beer. It’s nice to have a few choices. I’ve switched all body products to organics and most of the grey hair is gone (it turned brown again). I’m sure I’ll still get grey, but the process has slowed considerably.
Burt’s Bees is a well-known pure ingredients name, but were recently bought out by a conglomerate. I fear it’s only a matter of time before the brand is polluted with the cheap fillers they put in their high profit garbage.
I use Burt’s Bees hair products more than the others just as they’re so accessible. So far, there’s no reason not to. They are mild, effective, and smell good, and have wide distribution: Target, Walmart, Bed, Bath & Beyond carry them.
After trialling many organic soaps to use as a body wash, I’ve settled on this one. Dr Bronner’s has many nice scents to choose from, the soap isn’t killing you slowly, and the bottle lasts a long time.
I apply this organic body spray on my chest after exiting the shower and breathe in the wonderful peppermint while I get ready. Opens sinuses and wakes you up in a pleasant way, though it isn’t strong enough to replace cologne or perfume.
I’ve tried several alternative brands; those without aluminum, and have found this one to work the best as a proper deodorant. I have occasional sensitivity to it however; a mild rash, so I’ll continue to look for others.
This is a talc-free powder. Recent studies have linked talc to cancer. If your morning ritual includes dusting your naughty bits to achieve super smooth comfort motion, it’s probably a good idea to switch.
Clean hair goop for those who need to gain control over the follicles. The level of chemical pollutants in most name brand products is deplorable, and a main source of what makes us so sick. Switch everything over and watch the grey go away.
I put several drops of alkalizer in my morning coffee to neutralize the acidity. This should result in better gum reports at the dentist soon. I’ve found tea to be much more acidic than coffee, and then discovered it was the water!
Amazing stuff; black walnut wormwood complex kills parasites in your system; worms in particular. In addition to using an electronic zapper, I take this occasionally and put it in my dog’s water, and watch the magic happen.
This is my favorite organic hand soap to keep by the kitchen sink. Dr. Bronner’s son claims you can practically eat their soaps (though he doesn’t recommend it). I use Method soaps in the bathrooms as the bottles are prettier.
You should do your best never to come in contact with harsh chemicals, including those you clean house with. I cut this and use it everywhere. I also use a spray bottle with half Vodka half water as an antiseptic for countertops. Smells great.
Essential oils have been proven to aid recovery and make breathing a treat. There are many diffusers to choose from, but this one is small, nice looking, and easy to use. Three drops last all night and half way through the next day.
Great starter kit of essential oils. My favorite is lemongrass, then eucalyptus, then orange, then tea tree… I’m eager to try other sniffs, like frankincense. Fun and good for you.
Clean air is critical. There is so much particulate matter being blown around by our heating and A/C systems, a high quality air filter is essential to capture as much of it as possible. I use these, and replace them quarterly.
I started experimenting with air purifiers when my kid moved in with her cat. The cat made me sick. This simple, plug-in purifier kicks out a healthy flow of clean air. I have one on every level of the house now.
Great, inexpensive filter to have clean water to drink and cook with. I was looking for a filter that would take out fluoride, a particularly harmful chemical. This one does. Water tastes great; big difference from the tap.
If you notice skin irritation after showering, it’s likely the chlorine in the water. This brilliant and simple unit passes the water through a tube containing a Vitamin C cylinder, neutralizing bad chemicals before they reach you.
Refill 5 pack for the Vitamin C shower filter. I go through about one per month for two people using the shower daily.
Natural sedative. I take one at bedtime every night, which quiets my normally overactive brain. This, and melatonin, do wonders for helping you reach that state of deep relaxation needed to fall asleep easily.
Lugol’s offers iodine and iodide in the correct ratio. Iodine offers laser sharp focus; a few drops in my morning coffee make it very easy to concentrate. Iodine also causes cancer cells to self-destruct.
I started taking this decades ago for heart palpitations; something a book said Leo’s are prone to…and it works. I found that it gives you an overall good feeling as well, which turns out it is better known for.
Great brain supplement. Has been found to work as well as prescription medication (without the side effects) for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
CoQ10, in the form of Ubiquinol, is used in energy production at the cellular level. Improves brain and heart function, and lowers the oxidative state to slow aging. Essential for heart patients on statin drugs.
L-Glutamine improves recovery from events such as injury, surgery, or chemotherapy. It’s an amino acid the body makes to combat stress-related conditions; best to keep the body’s reserves full.
Great fat burning supplement. CLA alone doesn’t do it; it’s the Tonalin. Helps us over 40 somethings keep a trim tum.
I don’t wear glasses but occasionally have blurry vision. I expect it’s due to spending too much time behind computer/phone/ipad screens. Lutein is the best supplement I’ve found to reduce this so far.
There are two kinds of Vitamin E the body needs: tocopherols and tocotrienols. This gives you both.
Niacinamide is a B3 supplement that will not cause the skin to flush. Improves circulation for better heart health, lowers cholesterol, improves mental clarity, reduces the effects of arthritis, and more.
I take many supplements so I began looking for makers who have the cleanest manufacturing process. Thorne is one of them. In addition to the vast benefits of Vitamin C (cancer killer), it’s a Chelator (removes toxic heavy metals).
Concentrated superfood that combats industrial pollutants that bio-accumulate. The most used supplement in Japan, chlorella detoxifies the digestive system, binds to toxic heavy metals, chemicals, and pesticides, and removes them.
Vitamin D3. One a day and you’ll feel like you’ve spent a few healthy hours in the sun. Must have for northerners, especially in winter. Particularly effective against breast cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
Chiropractor Dr. Robin McKenzie offers ways to adjust your own spine so you’re not at the mercy of weekly adjustments or expensive packages. Sometimes it just tides you over, minimizing pain until you can make it to the office.
Great tool to provide pinpoint pressure to hard to reach areas. Terrific for relieving back and neck tension. One of those items, once you have, you can’t live without.
Most chairs and car seats don’t have enough curvature. For back pain, Robin McKenzie recommended a cushion to restore and maintain the curve–or lordosis–in the lower back. His company offers several; this is the best one.
Wow, I wake up with a stiff neck several times a week. I don’t want to schedule a chiropractor visit every time–I’d never get anything done–but I don’t want to suffer either. With the methods in this book, I no longer suffer.
Simple exercises to get your shoulder working again. If you ever just couldn’t lift your arm…this book will help you restore and maintain proper function. Robin McKenzie died in 2013. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts.
It’s important to know how to take care of your most significant and vulnerable joints. Robin McKenzie shared concise information and exercises in his short book series to keep us in great shape. I got them all for when I’d need them.
Good, inexpensive eyewear for the range. Protect your peepers! My only concern is occasionally, ricocheting matter can come down from above and get behind them. Some shop glasses have a right-angle ledge across the top; worth looking into.
Remarkably good, inexpensive ear protection for indoor and outdoor ranges. Scalloped for long guns as well. I’ve tried electronic ear protection and they still hurt me. With these, no concerns and no headaches afterwards.
I went without a case for my ear protection until I fell in love with them… This is the smallest case I found and also the nicest. Perfect fit.
It’s tough to have loaded guns in the house at the ready, especially with kids around. With these combination boxes, you can have several. The size of a book, keep one on a bookshelf, another by the bed. No electronics to worry about.
Great hand-crank emergency radio: has an internal battery you can charge. Includes a flashlight, is strong and light weight, you can charge your phone off this for that critical call. It’s small: the size of a few Hershey bars.
I’ve gotten these ammo cans at gun shows, accessory sites, and most recently seen them at Walmart for cheaper, though with no lock. Great for storing ammo and keeping electronics safe from EMP.
Good, inexpensive gas mask for a number of possible scenarios. Worth having a few in storage for when outside tasks require more than one person.
Replacement filter for the gas mask. It’s good to have some spares.
Decent, inexpensive Geiger counter/disometer. Let’s you read your exposure to radiation. Outside the blast radius of a nuclear event, you can survive, but this is essential. For EMP, keep all emergency electronics in a metal ammo can.
Written by the scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, it’s hard to find a better source. Contrary to popular myth, you can survive a nuclear war. To the extent one can prepare, there is some peace of mind to be found.
You need an iodine supplement after a nuclear event to keep your body from up-taking radioactive iodine. Most people are deficient anyway. I’m taking Lugol’s Solution at present (in my coffee), providing iodide as well.
The survival books explain how to purify water, but it will be your most immediate need. This amazing design makes most water sources safe to drink from. Just stick it in a stream or a fountain and suck. Treats up to 200 gallons.
One of today’s greatest issues: the criminalization of health care. There is good reason to doubt every pill they want to shove down your throat. Unfortunately, this is nothing new, but it is well-guarded. Time to expose them.
Proper research requires several different credible sources and perspectives. Often, this will help you realize who is lying and what their motives are. Their motto is “First, do no harm.” They seem to have forgotten it.
Polls show most people think 9/11 was an inside job, but I’m still taken aback by those who accepted the official story and never thought beyond it. I gave a presentation on it once and some audience members were crying as the evidence was so clear.
Philip Marshal’s first book on 9/11 puts together an undeniable picture of complicity on the part of the Bush administration.
One of the best books on 9/11 from the perspective of an airline pilot who flew secret drug missions into third world countries during Iran-Contra. The author, Philip Marshal, was suicided along with his children for exposing so much. RIP brother.
Combine a banking legacy with a secret police power (CIA) and you get an immense underground with devastating consequences to America and the world.
We owe respect to investigative journalists whose research puts them in harm’s way for the dogged pursuit of justice and the ultimate good of all. We must put in place laws that bar political dynasties from acquiring so much power.
Where did this crack epidemic begin? How much damage to our poor populations is it responsible for? Gary Webb stumbled onto this story and exposing it cost him everything. We need to know and stop it at the source.
What can we learn from the guy at the bottom? “Freeway” Ricky Ross was one of the most successful drug dealers in US history, but that’s not the interesting part. It’s who his sources were; which led directly to the Reagan/Bush White House.
We need to know what the government and the elites are doing; regardless of how difficult it is to accept it. We sure are discouraged from finding out; damned in advance and laughed at for even considering our leaders could be corrupt. It’s no longer working.
Taking advantage of the Freedom of Information Act, Probe Magazine investigators uncover facts about the government-sanctioned brutal murders of several of the 20th century’s most iconic figures. Our leaders lied to us. Have you forgotten?
Instead of pouring through the details of who shot from where, here’s a direct look at the primary man responsible: LBJ. All the corrupt rich wanted JFK dead, but only with LBJ controlling the aftermath could they get away with it.
Published in 1964, Haley describes the remarkable political crimes of Lyndon Johnson from the beginning, who helped him, and those later found to be involved in the Kennedy Assassination as well. Must read.
It is not well known, and was poorly publicized, that the King family supported James Earl Ray’s plea for a new trial. They were never convinced of his guilt, and Mr. Ray made a good case for why he was innocent of the crime.
Compelling account of what really happened to John Wilkes Booth after the assassination of Lincoln. A famous man, his own doctor refused to ID the body in the barn as Booth, but was forced to recant. The evidence mounts of his escape.
Over 90% of America’s secrets serve to protect the corrupt rich and do not help the citizens in any way. This is a pre 9/11 look at the system, and it has only gotten worse. Our secret organizations must be demolished if we hope to remain free.
The rabbit hole is deep. Organ trafficking is real. Corrupt elites around the world use the rest of us for replacement parts when necessary. Harry Wu risked everything to expose it.
“Some things, decent people shouldn’t have to see” –Rand Quote. This subject is so dark, and so near the heart of the evil in our world, we can’t escape responsibility for assuring it’s end: organized child abduction, sexual exploitation, and murder.
One of the most heinous moral atrocities in American history; Nixon declares no prisoners of war were left in Vietnam, then sends operatives on “Search and Kill” missions to stop America from knowing otherwise. An indoctrination in insanity.
Cancer kings have worked so hard to convince the world that nothing can be done other than taking their life (and life-savings) destroying drugs and treatments that make you sicker until death occurs. Courageous doctors have fought this and paid the price.
A Vitamin D3 pill daily makes you feel like you’ve been enjoying the radiance of the sun: connected and healthy. There’s no better feeling, and it does so much more.
Cancer deserves a multi-pronged attack. I lost someone dear to me and have been paranoid about what I could’ve done to help her and all I failed to learn in time. This wound will never heal. Don’t suffer the same fate.
The leading edge of cancer research by honest practitioners. You won’t find this information at your local butcher’s office.
Dr. Burzynski has made significant enemies for curing brain cancer. He is the greatest current threat to the system. A moral atrocity is unfolding in our time through the repeated attacks on this man and his discoveries by our government and special interests.
To heal from a host of chronic ailments, you have to eat healthy, clean your digestive system, and get it running efficiently. Gerson has a great track record of curing the “incurable.”
This book describes how to stay grounded and explores the health benefits with case studies to prove it’s efficacy for reducing inflammation in the body. I no longer feel frenzied as a result of grounding. Get the mats and tingle the stress away.
Stray voltage from today’s devices put us in a state of intellectual frenzy. We need to bleed off the positive charge by grounding regularly. I keep one mat in front of my keyboard and another at the foot of my bed for deep sleep.
Fit for Life explains how to combine food items in a biochemically correct way so that your system doesn’t endure a period of turmoil afterwards. The second book is as good or better than the first, but both are essential reading.
I do this routine a few times a week; no equipment needed. Utilizing tension in the body against itself yields impressive results, and tying the exercises to the natural motions of animals is imaginative and inspiring.
The only equipment I use during a workout. Lets your wrists rotate naturally while doing push ups. Very comfortable grips. Allows you to dip somewhat for a deeper set.
If you are on your feet all day or your poor pooches just cook in your shoes, these great little devices will keep them fresh and your feet healthier.
My contribution to inform and arm the people to unite against what seems an insurmountable evil. We struggle with debilitating guidance to become self-sufficient while the corrupt rich conspire to take it all away. Let’s take control back.
Lou Hobbs offers a host of legal methods to fight the corrupt rich in our society. A civilized and patient approach to reform, if you have the patience.
A fundamental treatise on human rights, which served as the foundation for the American justice system. No amount of intellectual poison taught in schools can overcome the scintillating nature of this work.
The world’s most honest man. I couldn’t be more thankful that there’s someone like Benjamin Franklin to contemplate, and model my life and conduct after.
Judge Napolitano has railed against the evils of government indiscretions and secrecy–on TV, news programs, and in books. It has cost him his position in the major media, but he has served the people well.
Judge Napolitano does damage and draws blood from the enemies of freedom–my kind of guy–and he does it with the kind of intelligence, honor, and bravery most individuals who have reached his level of responsibility lack.
Sibel Edmonds exposes the callous incompetence of our government’s efforts to stem terrorism through the age old government curmudgeon mentality pervading the intelligence organizations set up after 9/11.
Shakespeare explores a wealth of political evils in so artistic a manner, there’s less shock in being blindsided by it in real life. His descriptive power offers invaluable insight into society’s worst traits and into our best as well.
Currency control has changed hands eight times since our country’s inception. Each time it has been run into the ground by a group of power hungry, greedy individuals hell bent on world domination. This describes the origin of our current system.
How do you think America deals with other countries? Is it all about the spread of freedom and moral ideals; free elections, free people, and sound civil structures for the benefit of all? Think again.
Study long enough and a clear pattern emerges of the corrupt elite’s intent to murder everyone who is not in their club. They own the two biggest killers of Man, and are busy accelerating their depopulation agenda. Ignorance is not bliss.
The best book on real estate I’ve ever read. Much more effective than the methods I used to build a real estate business in my youth. If you haven’t decided on a career path, real estate is worth a look.
My favorite economist, Harry Dent has called every major market turn since the 1980’s. No one can tell exactly when things will happen, but identifying what drives events can position you well for the preservation and growth of your capital.
Great lessons for learning to focus on what’s working. Identify it, pour everything you have into it, and cut everything else off. Very important to keep you from “drowning in opportunity” and accomplishing nothing.
The economic crash of 2008 put many of us in a bad position for retirement, but not all hope is lost. It’s good to have a back-up plan anyway, and a plan to back-up the back-up plan. This is a good place to start your research.
A good primer on retirement planning for those just starting out. Covers the basics of sound money management, living frugally and paying yourself first; info everyone should know.
This is brass tacks about wealth accumulation and the humble lifestyle habits that often acquires it in direct contrast to the pomp and flash we’re conditioned with on TV. Must read.
Great perspective on what wealth is truly about. I was moving in this direction when I ran across the book and it cemented my intent: to live as inexpensively as possible with no debt, and maximize my free time for my deepest passions.
Great reference for all the major aspects of self-sufficiency and protection if/when the grid goes down. Covers several scenarios including biological and nuclear, with lists of supplies and competencies needed.
There is great peace of mind in having the fundamental skills necessary to sustain life. Things we take for granted: clean water, growing food and preparing meals from scratch. There is power in self-sufficiency; and less fear.
A dentist; there’s one professional skill that doesn’t live near me! Visions of Tom Hanks knocking his own tooth out with an ice skate was alarming enough for me to buy this book and tuck it away, just in case.
Verified as an excellent guide by a doctor-friend of mine, you can diagnose and treat many common issues with the help of this book. Easy to read and intended for non-medical people, it will give you a grounding in proper care.
Say you’ve stored barrels of food in raw form: how do you make meals out of it? How do you can fruits to preserve them? How do you grow and care for farm animals, prepare meats, make bread, and churn butter? Here you go.
Many residential lots are 1/4 acre, so condensing the ideal of producing enough food to be self-sufficient into the common space available is brilliant. Before this, I imagined several acres would be needed.
Great early 1980’s book sharing tried and true gardening skills from Garden Way, the company that launched the home garden tiller.
When preparation becomes lifestyle: integrating a survival mentality into all that is needed to maintain a home or cooperative without any outside help, even if the disruption of our way of life became permanent.
If the grid goes down, we need renewable energy sources to replace some or all of the electricity it provides. Solar isn’t difficult to understand and has made great strides in the last few decades. Time to learn about it.
Great little security camera. Works through wifi; plug it in, connect it to your phone, and voila, instant home monitoring. It has a wide angle lens, night vision, and sends text alerts if it picks up any motion.
Eneloops are the best rechargeable batteries on the market at present. 2100 charges maintaining 70% or more. Run everything battery-powered with these instead of disposables, and ultimately recharge them with solar.
It’s always good to have references that specialize on each aspect of independent survival, and communications is no exception. You should hope to and perhaps plan to band with others who have an affinity in what you don’t.
If you want to operate beyond MURS and FRS frequencies, to be legal, you’ll need a Ham radio license. I haven’t gone this far as of yet. The reference is here if you decide to.
