 It is hard to be able to know when disaster will strike, but you can prepare you and your family for the event of a natural disaster. There are a lot of things that can happen, and if you are prepared for these types of events, you will be able to survive even the worst events.
You can never be prepared enough, and there are a lot of things that you will need to get by should services in your community be cut off due to a natural disaster. Having an emergency plan, and natural disaster checklist of the most important things that you will need in the case of an emergency, will help you to be prepared for one of these events.
Developing Your Emergency Plan for Natural Disasters
There are a lot of types of emergency situations that can happen, and having a plan of action will help you to be prepared for what may happen in the event of an emergency. This is even truer for natural disasters that can happen at any time.

Obamacare is only the latest move towards our going into a communistic/socialistic state.
We have been gradually going to the Communistic side of economics for a good number of years. There are a good number of questions that need to be asked of our representatives in the Congress.
There is a valid case for a socialist type economy in today’s world. Apparently Mr. Romney’s 47% people on welfare is alarming to a lot of us. The problem I have with it is qualifications. In order to qualify, you have to be practically bankrupt. Or you have to stay below a certain income level to qualify.
Even the VA Hospitals have put income qualifications in place by President Bush’s executive orders. Those orders are still in effect years after he is out of office. I find this to be a national disgrace. No other country in the world has such a system of penalizing people who risked their lives because they happened to be successful in civilian life. But we do a lot of thiings like penalizing people (Read more....) […]

Camping is one of those activities that people either love or hate. Unless you are an avid camper you don’t know what you are up against. There are certain basic equipment needs and planning that needs to be done beforehand to make for a successful experience. Or, if you are like me and my family you can throw some things together and fly by the seat of your pants. Either way you go I can guarantee you that camping is an extremely bonding experience.
When my children were small we didn’t have a lot of money for vacations but I was determined that we would go on a family vacation at least once a year. What made it even more fun was the fact that my husband did not like to go on vacations. On the rare occasion that he would attend one of our vacations, going camping was simply out of the question. The only camping he was going to do was in our bedroom. But since we didn’t have a lot of money and both of my children loved the out of doors I decided that we would give it a (Read more....) […]

The Maritime Provinces – Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia
The maritime provinces – Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia – are generally regarded as a region that has chronic unemployment , and in one sense, is almost “the land that time forgot,” in that much of the economic development that has gone on in Canada moved west for various reasons. However, where there are issues like this, there may be opportunity for you. This article will explore those possible opportunities.
Newfoundland
If you consider this province, first attend the Newfoundland 101 class: the province may be pronounced by an emphasis on either the first or last syllable – never the middle one. Newfoundland joined Canada only in 1949, after some brief toying with the possibility of joining the US. One key economic item is the Hibernia oil field off the coast, which is a plus for economic stability, but generally Newfoundland is a (Read more....) […]

In this article, I continue to look at Canada as a relocation possibility. This time, we examine Ontario, known as Upper Canada (as in “up” the St. Lawrence River) in olden days. We will not examine “Lower Canada” – Quebec – as in my opinion, anyone relocating to Quebec, known as La Belle Province (The Beautiful Province), to avoid an economic or societal meltdown may as well also look at Greece, Spain or Argentina. Yes, Montreal is a fun city, and there are indeed areas, such as the eastern townships (for example the area around Sherbrooke, Quebec) that are similar to Vermont in terms of agricultural activities. However, Quebec has serious issues. Yes, the separatist movement has died down, as the “pure laines” (the pure blood French) have aborted themselves into oblivion, and immigrants know their collective gooses would be cooked in an independent Canada. They are also aware that Quebec, which has a population of around 8 million – not all of which are francophones – exists in a sea of just under 400 million in North America (if (Read more....) […]

As we have been offering the remaining space in our community, we have been contacted by many people who wish they could join us, but just can’t leave their current family obligations. Sometimes there is a spouse who is physically ill, sometimes their loved ones just don’t “get it”. Besides expressing their deep longing to live the way we do – personally free and self-sufficient – they give us their apologies for not being able to join us. No apology needed.
To make the decision to stay in the midst of the coming chaos because those to whom you have a deep and loving commitment cannot wrest themselves from their current lifestyle is also a valid and courageous choice – as long as it is made with good information and open eyes. When chaos arrives (and it’s coming on a fast track) those who remain dependent on the systems (corporate, medical, governmental entitlements such as food stamps, disability payments, etc.) will likely be left in the lurch and fending for themselves (Read more....)
