Every military survival manual I’ve ever seen starts out with a section on having the right mental attitude. The military clearly recognizes something here, which a lot of people take for granted. That is, ones mental state will have a lot to do with their ability to survive. Oncologists see this regularly. Cancer patients with a positive mental attitude are much more likely to survive than those who are expecting to die. Their positive attitude leads them to fight for life, not only doing what is necessary for healing to occur, but even fighting with their own bodies in a...

As you go about stocking up on valuable food, water, possibly gold and silver and a healthy supply of basic necessities to use after a major collapse, you may be thinking about how you will protect your goods. In today’s world, we lock our doors and don’t expect people to break in and if they do, police and help is only a phone call away.

Somehow the Obama administration managed to keep that report hidden. You’d think that would be enough bad news about the hermit kingdom,...

We have all seen the shows with the hero of the day manufacturing some crazy contraption that saves the world. It is complete ingenuity and a whole lot of creativity that is used to think of ways to use the materials at hand to create the one tool that saves the world. In real life, you may not have to worry about being anybody’s hero, but you certainly want to save your own life and the lives of the people you love. You may very well need to have that creative genius working for you. What if you need a...
