 The decision to purchase a home security system often depends on several factors. Those living in highly urbanized areas may feel safer with a home security system, but so may someone who lives in an extremely rural area where there are no close neighbors. Some homeowners see the home security system as providing added protection for their property and for their safety. Despite the reason that any homeowner decides to research home security systems, there are several factors that potential buyers need to consider. Some of these are reliability, benefits, total cost and the means by which security companies monitor customers’ homes and businesses.
Old companies such as ADT and Brinks have good reputations for security but are linked to old approaches to technology. Front Point Security gains accolades on all fronts, including customer service, price and reliability. Fully wireless and requiring no wiring at all, Front Point Security also is appropriate for apartment dwellers who can take the system with it when they move.
Reliability
Effective home security requires reliability on several fronts. The first lies in how the system will be (Read more....) […]

 Contemplating a natural disaster may not be fun, but it can grant you tremendous peace of mind should a disaster strike. Having a plan is the best way to protect yourself and your family. Accordingly, it makes sense to plan ahead by doing a little bit of preparing for the worst.
1. Know Your Region
Some regions of the world are susceptible to tsunamis while others are more likely to see earthquakes. Still other areas might be subject to tornadoes or hurricanes. Knowing what types of natural disasters you are likely to encounter is the first step to being prepared. Your preparations may vary slightly depending upon whether you are more vulnerable to forest fires or floods. However, the basic needs for food, clothing, shelter and medical supplies will apply regardless of the type of emergency.
2. Learn CPR and Basic First Aid
Many local organizations provide free or low cost training for CPR and first aid. You’ll learn how to clean wounds and place bandages in addition to how to provide life saving CPR. Even when no natural disaster is imminent, these skills can save a life. These classes do not require a lot of time, but the dividends they may (Read more....) […]
 Thanks to The Genius of Nicola Tesla –A Perfect Antenna for the Survivalist -by SurvivingSurvivalism.com
I’m sure if you are familiar with the name Nicola Tesla you have read enough articles extolling the genius that he was. He was the inventor of Alternating Current (AC), the radio (Marconi used Tesla’s plans and experiment notes), florescent lighting, radar, radio controlled boats to name a few of the inventions of this man’s genius. What we are going to talk about today is one of the master’s little noticed inventions, “The Tesla Ground Wave Antenna”, the perfect antenna for the survivalist on a tight budget (and who isn’t!?!?!).
The Tesla Ground Wave Antenna breaks nearly all the rules of antenna theory. This antenna is very very simple using only a couple of parts, and is extraordinary as a receiving antenna. Some have also used this as a transmitting antenna, with an antenna tuner for HAM and freebanding.
Using a 4 ft (Read more....) […]
 Anything you would normally cook in a gas or electric oven in your kitchen can be cooked just as well outside, in a wood-burning oven you make with your own hands. Here are a few tips on how to build your own outdoor oven.
Types of Outdoor Ovens
You can purchase a ready-made outdoor oven at various places, but part of the fun of having one is to make it yourself. The oven can be constructed by using cement blocks or made of adobe, which is becoming more popular. The major difference between a grill and the oven is that your outdoor oven is enclosed to retain the heat instead of letting it escape.
Check Zoning Laws
Before you begin making your outdoor oven, it would be a good idea to check with your local government to make sure there are no zoning laws that prohibit building the oven the way you’d like to. If there are, you may have to get a variance or change your plans.
Gather Material
After you’ve determined where your oven is going to be located, preferably on a flat surface a sufficient distance from anything that is combustible, you will have to gather the material you’ll need to build the (Read more....) […]

 A Day In the Real Life, by SurvivingSurvivalism.com
Thank you for the wonderful response to our article, Top 8 Deadly Myths About Survival. Many of you wrote asking for more information about the day-to-day life. Here’s a peek at a typical non-winter day.
It’s noon-ish. The first round of chores are pretty much done. So far today, here is what we’ve been up to:
Woke up at 4:00 a.m. because a pack of coyotes was howling too close to the chicken coop and we had to let the dog out to protect them. Then we went back to sleep to the sound of the dog barking. Well, okay. That’s not exactly a daily happening, but it did happen last night!
Around 6:00 a.m. we get up for real. I light the kitchen wood stove to warm up the house and get breakfast going. Breakfast is usually fresh farm eggs, pancakes, biscuits, cracked wheat cereal or such.
We grind our own flour by hand. That means attaching the grain mill (we use and recommend the (Read more....) […]
