It’s becoming more and more apparent that “alternative” news sources are the places to get real news. Even websites such as Alex Jones’s InfoWars.com and ZeroHedge.com are becoming more recognized as accurate purveyors of current events. InfoWars in particular I have avoided due to Alex Jones’s mannerism of over-the-top “every event spells doom for America” narrative. Glenn Beck is another source that I used to be a big fan of until he went #nevertrump.

Incase you haven’t heard of the stranded cows in New Zealand……..
That would make for a bad day.

Just received in some food from MyPatriotSupply.com I ordered last week. I had forgotten all about it until it showed up today. 1776PatriotUSA.com has a partnership with them and I haven’t pushed them much but am really impressed with the company. I have called in orders a couple times and the people I talked to were very professional, friendly – and were not pushy. They suggested some sales they had but when I said “no” it was not a big deal.
This particular order was for a 72 Hour Food Pack. This pack included a total of 4,560 calories or 1,520 calories per day. Not bad for an emergency food pack. Cost? $9.95 with Free Shipping. I am including no link here as it was a special email offer to those who have ordered before.

I’m not a big fan of wine but my wife is. I’ve been thinking of buying her a wine making kit for Christmas. I think she would really like making wine if it turned out to at least taste better than vinegar.

You will be glad to hear Lightning they have been rescued.
The Mrs & I have been sampling the 72 hr pack. To our surprise the soups are not bad !
Glad to hear it Hypax.
Just read both Infowars and ZeroHedgeFund. Unfortunately, they both agree on one thing. If this divide that is growing in this country is not healed and the rioters are not stopped shortly, there could be Civil War II. With the violence and violent rhetoric coming from the left, plus the silence indicating agreement from Obama, Hillary and Saunders, it smells like they all want the discord and chaos to continue. Plus with the leadership of the progressives (Soros and other billionaires, plus such people as Elizabeth Warren) meeting to map put a strategy to block Trump, there can be more of this on the way. What amazes me, is that people like Soros are out actively attempting to over turn the government of the United States and nothing is done. What the heck?
I agree Oren. While many have breathed a sigh of relief with Trump’s win and rightly so – times are still extremely volatile. Now – we need to keep things in perspective as the “protesting” on colleges primarily being held by a bunch of whiney kids is really a minor event in the whole scheme of things. The mainstream media is making a bigger deal of it as – well – that’s what they do.
Should the riots and “protests” become more widespread then this could become a bigger deal. Regardless – keep your head on a swivel.
I have been imitated and or alternately depressed with all the news sources.. major and minor. All of them do something well then the sequel has to be bigger and then bigger and OTT.. OMG the sky is falling… for ratings and viewers… bah.. I’ve about decided that I’ll do AP and C-SPAN and watch the raw footage myself, since photoshop and staged video is the norm. It’s a lot of work though.. You can limit the work by watching the original.. then comparing to a source .. then use the source until they flip and do it all over again.. still work..
The MyPatriot food is what I took on my last walk about .. it’s pretty good .. the Soups are very good.. value is great if you shop the sales…. I will say that the larger number of servings in the bags mean you need to est judiciously and then have a way to close and store an open bag… In camp no biggie.. on the go.. not so much. I am sure all you guys are very disciplined and only eat your serving.. I am not so I almost always eat more than a serving.. or three.. so it doesn’t last as long as expected. Things like MRE’s and smaller, envelopes that you mix in the bag like mountain house and just pack the are more controlled but they are more expensive as well.
I really do like their products, but like anything else it’s right product for the situation. # day pack and GHB might be one mix, where a BoB might need some thing more .. They do pack pretty light.. but mine didn’t have resealable envelopes ….
I will buy more as options and shop the sales and feel pretty good about it I think.
On the wine thing..
Save you bottles and just buy corks and a corker if you bottle.. or you can use tattler lids and Mason/Kerr/Ball Jars.If it isn’t done turning it WILL explode the bottle/jar.. If you are close .. the glass is traveling at some velocity … In my case we were not .. It did get the ceiling, all the walls and floor for 10-12 feet liquid.. further for the glass. It well exercises your cleaning and painting skills. It was odd I got to clean and paint when I did not jump the gun on the bottling… Remember the old Family Circus strip ? The ones with the “Not Me” character? Yeah.. That… 🙂
Got my 72 hr kit from them 2 days ago, have you tried it, I haven’t opened the main bag, figured it would keep better that way, but am curious.
I just received my second kit and may try some of this weekend Doomsday. I’ll take some pics and write something up if I get around to it.
