In 2006 the TV show Jericho aired and was a beacon of satisfaction for preppers everywhere. Many of us counted down the days, hours, and minutes each week in anticipation to see what Jake, Mayor Green, and Hawkins did to survive the trying times in Jericho, Kansas.
The video below was included as a bonus featurette within the Season 1 DVD set.

Maxine Watters is absolutely insane. She stated in January that Comey had no credibility and should be fired – and now is saying he shouldn’t have been fired…by Trump….unless Hillary was President and then it would be OK and she would have supported Hillary firing him. Um…..can you say “nut house”?

Often overlooked and rarely mentioned prep is the fire extinguisher. I have 5 fire extinguisher throughout my house and have trained both kids and the wife how to use them. How? Gasoline in the firepit each took a turn aiming at the base of the flames and a quick squirt and the flame was gone. Good practice.

NOTE: If you see a free preparedness eBook that you’re interested in get it now. Prices change often and there is no way to tell how long the book will remain free. Before purchasing a free Kindle book on Amazon make certain the book is still free by making sure the price is $0.00. If it lists a price or says “read for free” or has a price for prime members the book is not free anymore.
Wow. While I haven’t forgotten about the fire extinguisher as a survival item, being a firefighter, it is an often overlooked and not included in lists kind of item. Nice call JR. They are cheap affordable and compact. Put one in your vehicle. Also make sure to get the proper class for the location you will be storing it.
Yeah, torques me that they didn’t continue that series.
heck I’m still mad about Firefly…:)
I place my extinguishers in places or between places most likely to have one..
Kitchens, Laundry room (dryer element issue burn down houses), Shop or shed .. where gas is kept and tools used, Barn (Diesel, and long suffering piles of junk).. or maybe that is just mine.
Not all extinguishers are equal either… so make sure and know what yours is for.. of course buying all things extinguishers fixes that.
I’ll presume they do not work forever .. and might not work at all.. and a fire is the wrong time you find out ur shooting blanks.. so occasional testing is something to think about, so you can rely on it.
I’m not gonna comment on Maxine.. all the noise is just a distraction for other things not spoken I think.
