Something that many people tend to neglect when it comes to survival is grooming. The reason why grooming is neglected in a survival situation is because people have other priorities that they believe require more immediate attention. It’s completely understandable if water, food, warmth/shelter, and security are your top priorities in a survival situation. Each of those things is vitally important in its own right. But you have to keep in mind that grooming can and will significantly boost your chances of making it out alive in ANY survival situation. Basic grooming procedures will keep away deadly bacteria and diseases...

The first experiments done with the photovoltaic effect was demonstrated by a physicist named Edmond Becquerel at the surprisingly young age of 19. He toiled night and day in his father’s lab to produce the first photovoltaic cell in 1839.While the effects of his creation wouldn’t be a major game changer at the time, today it’s the basis of all solar power. Mr. Becquerel’s invention could be one of the ways we save our climate and provide clean and renewable energy to our homes, and businesses. Since a young French Physicist created the photovoltaic cell there has been numerous advances...

It’s easy to overlook things when one is trying to prepare for a disaster. For planning purposes we have to assume that nothing will be available. Therefore, we literally need to have everything we will need on hand, because we don’t know what will be available and what won’t. That creates a situation where some things are likely to get overlooked… like the supplies we need for cleaning and personal hygiene. Yet these are important parts of maintaining out health. It’s much easier to catch disease in a dirty environment and especially when you aren’t keeping yourself clean. Combine that...

It's a given in most preppers minds that they'll heat their homes and cook their meals with wood, in the event of a major disaster, especially in a grid-down situation. I have to agree that wood makes the most sense, at least in the majority of the country. But there are areas where wood may not be very plentiful, places where there just aren't many trees. If you happen to live in one of those areas, you'd better rethink your plan to use wood. For that matter, no matter where you live, you might want to look at alternatives to...

Wind power is one of the fastest growing renewable energy solutions. It has little to no damaging effects to the environment compared to more traditional energy sources like fossil fuels, gas, coals, oil and nuclear generated power. While some feel that wind farms are unsightly, and the risk of avian harm is unacceptable, most recognize that the benefits outweigh the challenges for this energy option. Another challenge is of course that the wind does not blow consistently all day, each day. Still, it is a low cost energy solution ideal for many applications and locations. Since ancient times, wind energy...
