The most commonly sold camouflage for civilians might be Real Tree or Mossy Oak, its primary purpose: blending in during a hunt (or just stylin’ at the mall). But when we think of camouflage for survival, our mindset must change. This article draws heavily on the US Army’s FM20-3 – Camouflage manual, but I’ve adopted [...]

Or would you rather eat a misshaped tomato of varying color and texture but tastes mouth-watering good? There are basically two types of seed… …open-pollinated (pollinated naturally in the wild) …and hybrid [...]

As many as 10 tornadoes touched down last night in North Texas with at least six people killed and many injured.  In light of this upsetting development, we think it is best to share with you this Tornado Safety Checklist.

Do you think that as a country we are not facing similar ‘food line’ problems as those during the Great Depression of the 1930′s? Think again… The difference today being that it is hidden from our view. Since perception is reality, then the reality must be that there is no problem. Right? Wrong…   Food [...]

Pentagon Unilaterally Grants Itself Authority Over ‘Civil Disturbances’ “A wanton power grab by the military,” “It’s quite shocking actually because it violates the long-standing presumption that the military is under civilian control.”   The manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects offered the nation a window into the stunning military-style capabilities of our local law [...]

When most people begin to store food they begin with wheat. Why is that? Not everyone knows how to use wheat but may have heard that it is good to store, so that is where they begin. It is true–wheat is great to store. But what kind of wheat? How should it be stored? Once [...]

During the freeze-drying process, fresh or cooked foods are first flash frozen when the food tastes its best. Moisture is then removed in a vacuum chamber, where a low-level heat is applied to evaporate the ice without returning it to a liquid form. Since the product remains frozen during the process, the product’s cell structures [...]

First, they came for the communist, but I was not a communist, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the socialist and the unions, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, and so I did nothing. When [...]

At the end of 2012, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) estimated that 22.3 million people were living with type 1 or type 2 Diabetes in the United States.

During an emergency, it is important to keep yourself healthy (for the sake of your own survival).

Pets are often called man’s best friend and, at times, are the most loyal family member around.  Americans are crazy about their pets and we at 1-800-PREPARE want to make sure that all members of your brood, canines and felines included, are safe when disasters  occur.  Last Tuesday was FEMA’s Animal Disaster Preparedness Day where [...]
