I ran across these two videos the other night while looking for bullet reloading information. Knowing how to reload your own ammunition and having all the materials and proper tools to do this after the shit hits the fan can be a great peace of mind.

I think everyone in America remembers what happened to the unprepared victims of Hurricane Katrina. Katrina was a prime example of what happens to civilized society during a disaster situation. Too many people counted on the police and the federal government to always be there to bail them out if there was trouble, and once trouble arouse they quickly realized that they were on their own. And to make matters worse the National Guard and the police began violating Americans 2nd Amendment rights by confiscating law abiding citizens guns for no reason as the above video shows.

Well even main stream media is now starting to cover survival topics. FOX news last night on the Hannity show did a segment on Urban Survivalists. I guess it is no longer just back woods survivalists, the city folks are starting to wake up and prepare themselves for what ever is coming our way in the near future. It is always much better to stock up and be prepared for whatever comes your way, instead of being like the masses and being SOL when catastrophe strikes.

This is a great video that shows what the 7.62X39 Ak-47 is capable of doing by demonstrating it on a watermelon and then comparing it with what several other rifles can do. I think everyone has their personal choice of rifle for their own personal situation. I prefer a .308 AR-10 style gun as my main rifle with an 7.62X39 SKS or AK-47 as a back up. I know there are a lot of people out there that prefer the .223 AR-15 OVER THE SKS or the AK-47.

The time to start buying or growing food is now! Most Americans live their lives believing that things will always be good and that bad things could never happen in America. Well I think we all should have gotten a wake up call with what happened with Katrina. Many of those people went through hell and many still have not gotten their lives fully back together years later.

Have you ever wanted to be more self sufficient? Have you ever wanted to loose some of the worries in these uncertain times? Like how to keep a good standard of living even if the grocery stores run out of food or the power company stops working. Well one family in California have figured out how to turn their small piece of property in the middle of the city into a thriving self sufficient backyard farm.

Long term food storage is essential for survival through tough times or a disaster because you never know when you won’t be able to go to the grocery store and get more food. I know of a lot of people who just rely on the idea that the grocery store will always be there, even though these same people are aware of the fact that here in the Midwest when a big snow storm is on its way that it isn’t uncommon for the store shelves to be stripped bare of food within hours.

I ran across this article Written by Benjamin T. Moore that was originally posted to the Misc.Survivalism newsgroup and has since been circulated throughout the internet. It is a wonderful article that will give you many things to think about when it comes to survival and deciding whether to bug out or not.

When I saw this back yard chicken coop I thought what a great design in such a small space. This chicken coop belongs to a couple that live in Los Angeles, California. So if they can raise a few chickens in a city like that anyone can and a small chicken coop like this could be an excellent low maintenance source of food in an emergency.

This is a great video created by Billy Taylor on cleaning catfish the easy way. I recommend watching this video whether you have never caught and cleaned a catfish or have cleaned hundreds of them. I have cleaned my share of catfish and most of the time it is a pain. Cutting off the heads, gutting them, and then struggling to peel the skin off with pliers. This video will show you how save yourself a lot of time and hard work. If you want to see more great videos like this one then stop by the billytaylorfamily YouTube channel.
