ALREADY AT IT!!

According to this article hours after the election the UN passed a vote to start talks about the Gun ban treaty back up in march 2013. Russia sadly was the only nation to oppose it. This is a clear stepping stone into our lives to allow the UN disarmament teams to come to your door and take your weapons. Once the UN has control of our guns there will be nothing stopping them to take control of our lives and government. If this treaty passes which it will Obama and Clinton already said they will sign it when it first came up earlier in the year I see a break out of Militias and possible civil war as the most likely option. This regime has been setting the stage to convince week minded sheeple that this will be a good idea from the start mainly with the Fast and Furious operations where THEY gave the firearms to CRIMINALS on purpose just to use it as a backing for this treaty! Don't let them fool you this regime is a cold calculating extremely smart one. Also the youth has been being indoctrinated with union lackey teachers to mold them into a complacent nanny government dependent nation. No nation especially Japan in WW2 would have dreamed of invading mainland America due to the armed civilian population which in a situation like that would be a HUGE force multiplier for the military but once the UN takes our guns it will be up to the government that gave them our guns and freedoms to protect us. By law of common sense is the most backasswards thinking you can have but unfortunately it is the thinking that has been ingrained in the coming of age generations. Buy now stock pile now and consider other options. Black powder has come a long ways since the 1800's takes no time to load and easy and cheap to stockpile necessary ammo and ammo can be forged when manufacturing stops. Bows and crossbows are cheap to maintain and stockpile needed supplies. A broad-head will penetrate light body armor with no problem and they are silent, not to mention you can make your own bolts easily. Live your life as normal in the day and in the shadows prep! DON'T let on to what you have and where you have it cached at! Join forces with a couple other preppers in your local area. work out a combined effort plan for O Shit scenarios, split the cost and work needed to be ready. More articles will follow in a series I plan on doing on prepping and steps needed as well as a tactical thinking article. 

Edible Flowers {Guest Article}

Edible Flowers are everywhere…

When we lived in Hawaii we got to eat lots of different types flowers.. They would put flowers in drinks, salads, and even deep fried (you would have thought being from the south I would have already had this one.).. You might be saying “Yuck” but they actual taste good, many different flavors as well… I have to say that my favorite is deep fried squash blossoms “Yummy”…  FYI, there is a drawback to eating the blossoms you get no squash from the plant, after removing the blossom..

Okay, let me get to the many flowers you might run across while out in the woods..

Clover is sweet, anise-like, licorice. Raw flower heads can be difficult to digest.

Dandelions, Flowers are sweetest when picked young. They have a sweet, honey-like flavor. Mature flowers are bitter. Dandelion buds are tastier than the flowers: best to pick these when they are very close to the ground, tightly bunched in the center, and about the size of a small gumball. You can use them in salads or cooked.. (this is the easiest one to try.. everyone has them in their yard. If you put chemicals on your yard, go to a different location to pick these.)

Citrus blossoms,  Use highly scented waxy petals sparingly. Distilled orange flower water is characteristic of Middle Eastern pastries and beverages.

Sunflower,  The flower is best eaten in the bud stage when it tastes similar to artichokes. Once the flower opens, the petals may be used like chrysanthemums, the flavor is distinctly bittersweet. The unopened flower buds can also be steamed like artichokes.

Honeysuckle, Sweet honey flavor. Only the flowers are edible. NOTE: Berries are highly poisonous - Do not eat them!

Yucca Petals The white Yucca flower is crunchy with a mildly sweet taste (a hint of artichoke). in the spring, they can be used in salads and as a garnish.

Cactus Flowers are Edible The fruits of many cactus species are edible. The juicy, purplish-red fruit of the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica), for example, is commonly found in grocery stores in Mexico and the southwestern United States. Few realize, however, that cactus flowers also make delicious meals and snacks. The flower buds of the barrel cactus (Ferocactus genus) were boiled and eaten in a similar manner to vegetables such as cabbage by the native inhabitants of Arizona, where these thorny plants proliferate. Barrel cactus flowers manifest in a multitude of festive colors including red, orange and yellow.

Cactus Flowers Used as Medicine

Prickly pear flowers

In addition to making wine, prickly pear cactus flowers have been employed for their purported therapeutic benefits. Author Margaret Joan Roberts, in her book "Edible & Medicinal Flowers," reveals that these warm-colored blooms are used in Mexico as a home remedy for relief from itchy insect bites and other stings and scratches. Prickly pear flowers are astringent. Like their associated fruits, they are also high in vitamin C.

As for cattails you can eat every bit of this plant.. The cattail is packed full of protein and other nutrients.. It is considered one of the most important wild foods you can eat… go get some and try them out…

Survival Kit

In this video I go over the basic load out of a grab and go survival kit. This kit at the bare minimum minus the knife and magnesium fire starter cost around 15 dollars to build and will make any emergency night in the woods more comfortable. This is something that should be in a drawer or cupboard that is easy to get to and grab for any emergency or natural disaster. Just throw this bag into your backpack any time you go on a hike go hunting or fishing and if you need to make a emergency night stay you will be set. Any questions just post in the comment section and I will answer them.
