$50.00 Medical Kit - Patriot Nurse - Youtube

Hello and good morning, I would like to introduce you to Patriot Nurse, she is a real, honest to goodness licensed nurse and she has put out some videos on such things as basic medical needs in a S.H.T.F scenario. She also has a video or two on woman's needs during a S.H.T.F scenario and it doesn't have to be an armed assault scenario it can be something small and localized such as sick and unable to make it to the doctor and drug store. I know my wife and I had some of those times when on vacation, we could have used what Patriot Nurse suggests. It would have relieved symptoms quickly and saved us a $65.00 doctor visit (he was not on our medical insurance plan) and behind the counter prescriptions that were almost as much. She does have some small note tabs on her videos, please pay attention to them as they were added to her videos after taping. The link I give first is for a $50.00 medical kit and it may surprise you what she has in it but her reasoning does make very good and very practical sense.

This link is for her more advanced medical kit which will ratchet your costs upward toward $100.00

This could sound a bit expensive at first but please consider one office visit and trip to the pharmacy. What she has for supplies will help treat many individuals and you will cover most superficial problems at the onset rather than letting the problem grow and now the person is very ill and will take much more meds and professional care to see them through.  There is a part 2 of her advanced medical kit so please click on the link following and proceed to the second half. Please stop the video when you are interrupted and please stop, rewind and play when needed and take notes (the glory of Youtube!)

Please listen as she explains in these videos that illness and disease can begin simply by not having clean drinking water and not having sanitary waste facilities. We have to eat clean and be clean and we can get through pretty much anything. A simple cold can lead to pneumonia and respiratory arrest and death when simple steps (for our culture) are not taken at the onset with simple things like pepto-bismal or a 325 Mg. aspirin. Items like these that we take so much for granted in our culture are considered miracle drugs in poor countries. Here we can even use coupons to acquire much of these items at little to no cost while in other countries people pay with their lives for lack of them. I do not wish to begin a theological debate as to why that is but for now God has made a way for you to put back items that can keep your family relatively healthy without calling up the doctor every time someone gets a booboo. I agree with her explanation that dirty drinking water and poor sanitation kills. My evidence points to events from the civil war where soldiers on both sides suffered infection to wounds and lost limbs because of not having clean water and bandages. In Andersonville prison thousands of men died because of dysentery and diarrhea, they were not allowed to have latrines outside the prison walls and they could only dig holes inside the prison which was a four sided fort. The living conditions where anything but living conditions and men suffered and died because of filth from human waste and dirty water. The same kind of conditions kill the very young, the weak and the aged every year in every country. I like using fishing tackle boxes for many things like plumbing repair kit boxes, tool boxes and for medical kit boxes. They usually have partitions and multiple drawers or trays where you can separate item types and their purpose. I found a great fishing tackle box at the Good Will store for $5.00. When I picked it up I noticed it was missing many of the dividers but did not see that as a reason to overlook it, I knew this was a forty or fifty dollar box and it was going to do me a lot of good. When I got home I sat down on the floor with a Cheerios cereal box and a pair of scissors and began cutting out dividers. It took me about forty minutes with stops in between and I was done and my $5.00 box was ready to give me years of service. Check out yard sales and garage sales too, you can find many items that can be "re-purposed" for a prepper.

Have the ability to filter your water without electricity whether it be a Berkey filter, or Lifesaver bottle (found on Amazon) or some other filtration system to where it will filter out bacteria and viruses. In a time of power outage it can be hours or days or weeks before electricity is restored, if for some reason you have to leave home do you have some form of filtration you can bring with you, is it portable, does it need electricity, if you have to scoop up ditch water and pour it through the filter will that work to give you clean water? It's not so much your equipment brand but rather if you are reduced to primitive living conditions can you still maintain the integrity level of your drinking water and how much can you filter?  Will you need to purchase extra filters now to have with you later?

Toilet paper, what would you do if you only had one roll to your name? Can you use one piece of t.p if necessary to get the job done? What about boiling used rags in case of no toilet paper? What about that time of the month, do you have supplies to cover that if you needed to bug out? It is part of sanitary living and it does need to be recognized and addressed. I am linking to another video about how to use one sheet of t.p. to clean yourself if need be. I tried to find a video that wasn't going to be crude and only partly succeeded so please do not be offended, it is all about technique and not about social crudeness. This skill could come in handy at any time you find yourself with the end of the role and no extra anywhere in sight, maybe camping or at a restaurant, it doesn't matter but the idea is to do with less until your time of abundance comes back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XEN3nDUlBU

I think that is all for now, remember, it doesn't have to cost you a lot of money to be self reliant but it will cost you a great amount when you have done nothing.

"Dying Is Not An Option"

Dying Is Not An Option is a book written and sold by Cope Reynolds, owner of Southwest Shooting Authority in Luna, New Mexico. I personally have more than one copy and have given some out to friends. This is a well put together book with a spiral spine so the pages can be flipped by one hand if need be and laid down on any surface and the pages will stay open. This could be critical if you are wounded and trying to retrieve the information from the book and only have the use of one hand. The cost of the book is $19.95 plus shipping and handling. I would also suggest his information on how to make Colloidal Silver, a very helpful agent to fight against bacteria and speed healing to minor wounds and possibly more. Please also look over his information posted on the left column of the page, especially Survival Firearms and Disaster Preparedness. To find the book you can click here: http://www.mcssl.com/store/south-west-shooting-authority/publications 

Did They Know They Were Fighting For Socialism?

Someone posted the question; Do you think soldiers from past wars knew they were fighting for socialism.
To that question I say this;

I don't believe any of them had socialism in mind, maybe some of them couldn't even conceive of what socialism was being they were raised in a Judeo-Christian society, prayed not only in church but also in the class room. What those men and women witnessed in Europe was nothing like what they knew. I knew a man who served in three wars, the latter end of WWII, Korean War and 1 tour of Vietnam. He said in boot camp for WWII they were shown films of Hitler and how he commanded his troops. One film was in his office in Berlin and he summoned a troop soldier forward and barked at him in German and pointed to the balcony. Next thing everyone knew the troop soldier took a running charge at the balcony and dove head first right off and down to his death. The American leadership stated that the soldiers were brainwashed and would now follow Hitler's orders no matter what was asked of them, even if commanded to kill themself on the spot. This was almost as bad as a religious war in that the enemy was taught not to think or value themselves but to give themselves over to the leader completely. A Christian gives themself over to God and puts their trust in God completely, only difference is God does not command us to not think or feel or kill ourselves on command. God tells us in His word to value life, especially our own as well as others.

Life in Europe with Hitler, Mousalini and Stalin was something only known about in books because most Americans of that war only knew their home town, their county. How does a soldier see the ravages of men who command others to die only for the sole purpose of power and rationalize it? I do not believe anyone of them grasped what they saw but knew that life at home was full of goodness and light. Home was a place where Mom and Dad stuck it out together, worked side by side and raised their family in the best way they knew how. Home was the place where a man could put down roots, raise a family and have a life filled with honor and respect, it was all within the American man's grasp and there was no dictator in charge of America to take it away. Men and women of that era came back with humility in their heart and did not speak of what they saw because it was the most vile of treatment one human being could inflict on another. It was a place and time devoid of the fear of God and man struck out to tear and slash human flesh. To burn people alive and rape children and women for sport. The dark side of being human had been unleashed and some came back doubting their being accepted into God's kingdom for the acts they had committed in the name of war.

When they came home they thought there could never be another war because of what had taken place. That surely all the world had witnessed the ravages of war and all would remember from that time forward and there would be no reason to recall the battles and the midnight bombing raids, the children and adults left alive after the dropping of the bomb on Japan. Dictators had been defeated and the breath of freedom inhaled for the first time in years and exhaled with a sigh of exhaustion. They fought to keep that evil from making the shores of their home, the place where mom still makes the family's favorite deserts, the place where their church is where their family attended for years and maybe they were married to their high school sweetheart. They were coming home to their slice of heaven, they had already seen hell and knew that it was all uphill from there. What has happened to our country has been on our hands and that of the people of the sixties, like it or not. The communists who were sold the bill of goods that people could "rule" over people and it would be a fair system were so high on dope that they still have flashbacks today and still believe this country can survive without law and without graft and corruption because they see those things only existing within government. If they become the government then they would set all the people free but that's just it, we won't be free. They will destroy our laws and destroy our way of life because of their misguided life that they have chosen. They have worked the political system and now they are in charge and they still think Karl Marx has a good idea. They are brain dead and need to be put out of our misery. The patriots of WWII only fought to save THEIR home from being destroyed, now it is our turn.
