More Info on 3%4 Freedom.

3%4 Freedoms funeral was today.I have more info on his life and career up at Enemy of the state.The link is in my blog roll.He was a great man and I was lucky to have been able to call him Friend.

The loss of our Friend 3%4 Freedom.

I first posted it on enemy of state however not all who read this one read enemy.So for any of you who haven't heard yet.3%4 Freedom passed away from a heart attack Monday in his sleep,he didn't recover.

Any who have read his comments on survival or patriot related blogs know he was a truly nice guy,who attempted to help any and all he could.

For those who dont,He was a Marine scout sniper attached to 1st Force Recon Co.
He served 8yrs in the Corp He did see combat,He was Honorably Discharged.

He is survived by a Wife and 2 children ages 6-9. The only thing he loved more than this country was his Family.He was a Patriot in words and deeds.He longed for the day America would be again the America of our founding Fathers.

He was willing to Starve the Beast,elect them Socialist Bastards out of office,and as a last resort take up ARMS.He wanted a Free AMERICA for his children to grow up in.

The IRS sent agents to take his truck,he politely informed them no they wouldn't be taking it,he pushed one back away,the other freaked and pepper sprayed him,that was it, he beat the shit out of both.His best Friend and compadre R3Volution bailed him out.

Threeper had very good security programs on his computer something told him to check the logs,The CIA,army intelligence,Naval intelligence,Raytheon,Federal Reserve data mining,plus others.He was a regular guy worked every day,retired from Military.However this is the type who is being labeled Domestic Terriost,all because we love America the REPUBLIC.

Not AMERIKA the SOCIALIST state.

All I can say is the Patriot movement has lost a true Patriot. R3V,myself,several of you lost a great friend,his family lost a loving Father and Husband.

FAREWELL my FRIEND. SEMPER FI.

Massai fireboard and stick (friction).

Water from trees.mini survival course from a concerned lady.

If you have seen this Vid or one like it it's Not true.

There is almost no running water that is safe to drink,at one time it was true.Even if there are no factorys,etc there is still run off from farming poison rain etc.

I suppose if its drink it or die now vs drink and get sick or die later,I probally would drink.But if you prep you will have a filter and or treatment in your kit and you will not die from water or lack of,preferablly you will die from old age after long healthy life well hydrated.

Last ditch effort pain in the butt way to get water.

Survival notebook.

Just a reminder to start or update your survival notebook.If your like me you have millions of bookmarks,videos,blogs,websites,etc.But if the net goes away so does most of your info.When I first started notebook,I thought it was an original idea,Ha nope.

But it is a great idea.By the time your done it will be huge or take several to store that much info.And dont put it off,remember one minute too late? A lazy Sunday is a great time to start it.And do store it in waterproof Bag or container.

SEWING if you've never done it, right way and a wrong like everything.Sewing and mending will be vital during bad times,get info. Millions of things you can put in notebook.Do you know how to make black powder,blowing stumps,guns,booby traps if it goes real bad etc.Do you know how to make booby traps,even if you are the type to never in this world use them,you need to know how they are made to avoid them.OK just some thoughts to get you started on YOUR notebook.
