There are several great tips from the various survival/prepper blogs I visit daily that I’d like to share here. If I can remember to keep at it, I’ll make this a weekly post.
- Bug out Bags (BoB): Survival Blog has a great post with tips on effectively carrying a heavy pack, with follow-up input from readers here and here. In a related post on what you really need in a BoB, the American Minuteman has a post, with some excellent advice in comments. Most recently, Total Survivalist Libertarian Rantfest posted on the utility of MOLLEE rucksacks.
- Insulin Post-TEOTWAWKI: Commenter Jack at The Survivalist Blog provided two links on producing insulin for when supplied run out. The first link is the story of a type-1 diabetic Jewish woman who made her own insulin during WWII, while the second link details the process for doing so (also see this). I haven’t had time to study these instructions, but it seems incredibly difficult – looks like it would help to have a background in lab work or chemistry, or recruit someone who does. Still, it has and can be done and is well worth for keeping in mind.
- Airguns: Finally, another post from Survival Blog on Airguns for Survival. I hadn’t seriously considered air guns, but Jock Elliot (author of the post) does a fair good job of convincing me that there could be very beneficial for both target practice and taking small game – and do both more quietly that a .22. Air guns aren’t cheap, but you can (probably) use them now for target practice in residential areas where discharging firearms is prohibited.
