First of all, let’s consider some recent news from right here in the United States.

Swine Flu Survival

Headlines around the world are screaming about the spread of the swine flu each day. Many people around the world are becoming increasingly frightened and are looking for information for how they can fight this disease.

The truth is that there is no reason to panic. Below we have compiled a comprehensive 5 step swine flu survival guide…..

#1) Wash Your Hands

This sounds very obvious, but you would be surprised how many people do not do it. Washing your hands is the number one tip that experts typically offer when asked to give tips on how to prevent the spread of disease.

The truth is that disease is spread by the hands almost more than by any other method. It is a very good idea to wash your hands several times a day – especially whenever you have returned from being in a public place.

One key thing to remember is that disease can be passed from doorknobs and handles. After touching a doorknob or handle you will want to definitely wash your hands.

If you keep your hands clean that will go a long way in helping you to avoid disease.

#2) Avoid Public Places

If you do not have the swine flu already, how are you going (Read more....)

Financial Survival

The financial system of the United States is in the early stages of a complete meltdown and the vast majority of Americans are completely unprepared for it. Have you come up with a plan for financial survival when TEOTWAWKI (“the end of the world as we know it”) arrives?

Perhaps you think such talk is alarmist. Well, before we discuss what you should do to prepare, let’s take a look at the state of our financial system.

First of all, the total of U.S. bank failures in 2009 is now 25, which matches the number that failed throughout all of 2008.

Only three banks failed in all of 2007.

So, I hope you can see that this is NOT a good trend.

But perhaps you may think this is just a temporary trend.

After all, the U.S. economy has certainly hit bumps in the road before and recovered well enough.

Well, unfortunately this is not just the downside of a business cycle. What we are facing is the complete unraveling of a financial system built on a mountain of debt.

The reality is that any major currency not backed by gold in the history of the (Read more....)

11 Things That You Will Need For Survival When Disaster Or Emergency Strikes

DISASTER_by_a4ateeq Most Americans honestly do not know how to survive if they suddenly couldn’t run down to Wal-Mart and fill up their shopping carts.

The following is a list of 11 key items that you will want to make sure that you and your family have in case you are faced with an emergency situation…..

However, if you are trapped in your home during an emergency for an extended period of time, you and your family are going to need food. Even if you plan to grow food you better have a substantial amount of storable food put away.
