4 essential items for self-sustainability
Given the tragedy of what is occurring with earth changes I personally consider the following items essential for self-sustainability.
1. Vitamins and Minerals @ www.swansonvitamins.com. They have really reasonable prices and I order a lot of Vitamin D3. Vitamin D will help us avoid the flu as it improves the immune system. 2. Inexpensive Rare Heirloom vegetable seeds Non GMO and Hybrid seeds are full of nutrition... GMO and Hybrid are not and I've read some studies how GMO also alters the blood of those eating those food. Organic will become a very highly prized item to have and to eat. http://survivalistseeds.com/Home_Page.html http://www.patriotfood.com/ 5 Rare Heirloom Vegetable Varieties AND FREE- Patriot Gardening System How to DVD - $20 value AND FREE- Doomsday Water Filter How To DVD - $20 value 6,000 All-Natural, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Organic, Rare Heritage Vegetable Seeds. That's 4 Pounds! And they come inside a TIME CAPSULE. I probably should have bought several of these. Exclusive 100 year Time Capsule 4 pounds of RARE heirloom seeds inside... 25 Grow Anywhere RARE Heirloom Seed Varieties 6,000 Heirloom Seeds Over 4 Pounds of Rare Heirloom Seeds Withstands 3 tons of weight Is rodent and waterproof Keeps seeds fresh for decades AND WE SHIP 3 DAYS AFTER RECEIVING YOUR ORDER FOR JUST: $119.95 3. Solar Backup Generator http://www.mysolarbackup.com/ Price is just $1597.00, plus only $95.00 shipping anywhere in the continental U.S. Solutions From Science Dept. Solar Backup 815 W. Main St. P.O. Box 518 Thomson, IL 61285 877-327-0365 4. Big Berkey gravity fed water filter We are on a catchment system but many get water with flouride or choline in it with is is not good for anyone's body. All of our drinking water is filtered. Elements will remove harmful pathogenic bacteria such as E-coli, Cholera Salmonella Typhi, Giardia and Cryptosporidium. The filters remove and reduce unwanted chemicals such as Chlorine, lead, rust, sediment, pesticides, herbicides, organic solvents, VOC’s, SOC’s, Trihalomethanes and foul tastes and odors. The durable and efficient Black Berkey elements can be cleaned and re-cleaned (up to 100 times or more) as needed with a soft brush or Scotch-Brite pad. http://www.bigberkey.net/?gclid=CP3j...FRQpawodgzYAAQ

Re: 4 essential items for self-sustainability
Nutritional supplements are absolutely vital in today's world
for health and well-being. That being said, my guidance has told me for some time that it is wise to be prepared for short-term disruptions in day to day life(less than two weeks). Beyond that, I don't see the point. Each person has to listen to what their own guidance is telling them. |

Don't forget topography maps and a compass to watch the magnetic pole shift with.

Water is the most important thing, without clean drinking water you only have a few days

Re: 4 essential items for self-sustainability
Well there is that. If the atmosphere was to peel back.. we'd just drop our water vessels (body) and cross over. Not a bad way to cross.

Re: 4 essential items for self-sustainability
Nice stuff but it's really only attainable if you have money. For those without money, it's gonna suck I bet.

When it comes to preparations for living without the conveniences and infrastructure we have now, I would say that it is prudent and wise to be prepared. Some are in a better position to do this than others. I believe that for some, a great deal of preparation is appropriate for their path and what they have to accomplish. Others, not so much. I expect that I will have everything that I need when I need it, and I think it will be the same for you and many others. We will do just fine. |

Re: 4 essential items for self-sustainability
Actually HJ you may have it backwards, those with money will face the greater challenge because when/if TSHTF they are the ones who will face the decision to give or not give, and then they will need to live with the consequences and karma of the desicion.
