Survival. What you gonna do when survival time comes for you and your family?

 

I know what you may be thinking. You might be the one thinking that this is as corny as a corn dog. If so, go away. No help for you. You're the one standing in front of an avalanche saying, "It ain't gonna happen to me." So much for unbridled optimism.

I have been pondering the survival question, in ways, since I was a young man watching Saturday afternoon horror shows. The movie depicted above, "Panic In The Year 0," was one of the movies on my list and it profoundly set me on a path to this website decades later.

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION

I grew up in a time when we were more than worried about the bomb. I lived and still live between what was, and still is a U.S. fort, and a massive weapons supply dump. It was common thought in those days that ground zero, pretty much between these two places was the radio antenna of the most powerful radio station in the area.

A moderately weighted megaton hydrogen bomb would have licked out to atomize both installations, which are several miles apart and naturally, me, in-between. Evidently, the producer and star of Panic In The Year 0, Ray Milland had worries of his own, and he set out to do something about it. He made a movie. A very good, well thought out movie, that showed how you could survive a disaster, even a disaster of biblical proportions. Photo left, he hears for the first time the awful news from CONELRAD (First national EAS type warning system) on his car radio. His year 0 begins. He fights to survive. He overcomes. He wins.

After decades of thumbing our noses at this norish film, because everyone KNOWS you can't survive a nuke strike....well...after the disaster in Russia and the disaster in Japan, we now know, that with luck, you CAN survive a limited nuclear disaster. (Unless you live between two military installations.)

Our problem, as Americans, with survival thinking, is that we have always had the best and we think we always will. The sun will come up tomorrow morning and we'll go to church on Sunday, and on Thursday night we'll go get a hotdog and shake down at the drive-in, if we want to, like always.

On the other hand, many will admit that the worst can happen in a localized way, like a hurricane, earthquake, flood, or tornado. Even if the west coast falls into the ocean, there is still the east coast, and life will still go on as usual for everyone left.

I give you on of the most beloved survival movies of all time, Red Dawn. Here, the commies from Russia and Cuba get together, nuke America to its knees, and set about to take it over. In the meantime, it's survival city for the country boys in that western town shown in the movie. They move to the hills, eat pork and beans, and shoot deer for supper. They live the good life for a time, resisting the commie invaders until they are saved or shot.

The instructive part of Red Dawn is while the boys don't have a plan, their elders do. By the time they rich their mountain hideout, they have most everything they need to survive, having been seen to by wiser and older, and shortly deader heads.

At the time of this writing, nuclear war and invasion by commies (at least from outside the country) is not nearly as likely as it looked lo, those fabled many years ago. However, times being what they are, anything is possible, and the thing that tries to take us out may be something we could not have foreseen. Do you doubt me? You have only to think back to Sept 11, 2001. Who but a madman could have dreamed up a plan to destroy the USA so diabolical and simple that 19 guys who didn't know how to land a plane could do what they did? I say again, anything is possible.

What is more likely, at least at this epoch, is that wheels set in motion by brain dead U.S. politicians, and you know which ones I'm talking about will at some point try to roll over the country.

The man most singularly responsible for the re-think of survival in the last couple of years is none other than Glenn Beck. Beck, a modern day prophet, whatever you think about him, has a verifiable track record of being correct. When Beck says that things are on a course to spiral out of control (on a number of fronts) I, for one, listen. If he's dead wrong, or I'm dead before he's right, I haven't lost a thing by heeding his warning.

It doesn't take a man of far seeing vision like Beck to understand the simple fact that our nation runs on oil, not windmills. Because of decades of political error, the United States is dependent on foreign oil. The very moment politics or religion gains supremacy over commerce and common sense, the oil will stop, and then we're done for. We are closer to that moment right now than we have ever been.

Denial is a fantastic characteristic of human nature. We all do it. However, some do it to the point of willingly putting their neck into a noose. Unfortunately, some of these people are in positions of great power, and their word is law.

Greed is also a problem. Some people with their hands on the switches of commerce will gladly, eagerly, throw them for short term gain.

Most likely scenario...Oil ceases to flow...

It doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to see that even a short cessation of oil would have immediate and catastrophic effects on life as we know it. Only a fool would say that it could never happen. Repeat...a fool.

Even if you think the lights going out is merely pish posh, are you fool enough to say that it can never happen? And what if it does? Where does that leave you? Too late to run here to see what to do, because you and I are only one electron away from a disconnect. Oil makes electricity, and without it there is none. No electricity means no bucks, Buck Rogers. No bread. No car. No nightly news. No more discussion. It's back to pine torches and candles.

So, for as long as there has been civilization, there have been Chicken Littles screaming that the sky is falling. And, over the ages, it has, regularly, metaphorically speaking. Luckily, it hasn't happened in the United States in a general fashion...yet. Doesn't mean it can't or won't.

And the funny part about the whole thing is that when it happens, future historians will look back and marvel that whatever caused it was so darn simple and avoidable.

Thankfully, from the standpoint that we didn't need them after all, in our lifetimes, the nuclear fallout shelters have all been covered up or turned into swimming pools. Basketball idols turned religious fanatics preaching doom have come and gone to their own personal and private doom, baffled at why everything was still everything even as their eyes dimmed. Godzilla did not roar to life amidst ancient glaciers melted by nuclear fallout and global warming. Life, love, children, divorce went on unabated.

So, Americans have been lulled and drugged into the notion that it can't happen to them. Well, sure, a car accident is always possible, or maybe another Katrina, but not a general collapse. No way.

Way!.................

Survival comes in two three distinct variations:

• Immediate survival

• Temporary survival

• Long term survival

Immediate survival is a car wreck. A gun battle. Ship wreck. Most folks don't carry a spare lifeboat with them on a cruise, so God, fate, or the devil plays the supreme role in the outcome.

Temporary survival is what you do while you are waiting for help. If you are on a hike and get lost, then if you have done your homework, you have enough survival supplies to make your wait a pleasant one. If a hurricane hits suddenly, you have enough survival food and survival water to make a go of it until help arrives. The same goes for earthquakes, tornadoes, and killer bees. You can wait for help comfortably, or uncomfortably. Your choice.

Long term survival is when you must survive beyond 72 hours, because that's about the limit you can go without water. With water, and your health is good, make it a couple of weeks, if you have enough survival grub. Beyond that, there is Fred, your former best friend. Fred can serve as your last resort MRE. (Meal Ready to Eat.) But you don't really want to go that route for health reasons, and besides, you like Fred for more than his dumplings.

The purpose of the website, beyond impressing Google and selling you quality survival goods is to attempt to make the case to you that in a general collapse, there is nobody coming to your rescue. Nobody has any gas, and they can't charge their electric powered cars. Who on our continent besides Canada (who is also on Fred rations) will come to our rescue? Hmmn? Name a country.

When the time comes, and it is coming some day, long time or short time, that the machines stop, you are on your own, just the same as Ray Milland and Frankie Avalon were when their time came.

Survival food and survival equipment, and survival supplies give you time to do what you have to do to survive. Time to plan. Time to survive until the emergency either passes or stabilizes into something you can deal with. Survival planning now gives you survival time then when it really counts. You don't wait until the horse is out of the barn to close the darn door.

On this website, you will find ample links to the company that will supply you with the survival products that you need to make sure you're still around for breakfast if and when the worst happens. And what if you grow old and are given only 14 days to live by your future doctor and the world has not ended, or even hiccuped? Then you will have tasty food to eat, stuff to go camping with, a funny story to tell, and something to leave for your grandchildren so they won't have to invite Fred Jr. for supper some day.

I would love to be the one to tell you that from cradle to grave, the center will hold, and all will be right in your perfect tidy world, no matter what you do or don't do. Unfortunately, mostly thanks to things out of our control, the center does not always hold. Things fail. Things collapse.

When this happens, and it happens during your turn on earth, most often there isn't much you can do about it. But you can be the one to still be around to help put things back right. You can be one of the good ones. Survive!
