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.
A few sugesstions to get you started finding,storing,filtering-treatment of water.Gardening sq foot,etc.How to set traps,snares,etc.Wild plant identifaction.Processing game,gutting-skinning etc.Canning,dehdryating,smoking,salting,etc of food.
Medical,how to suture,how to place a splint,etc.How to make candles.How to make fire.How to keep your children amused if it really gets bad,no cell phs,no wii,cable,oh yeah on an extended trip in the woods or wherever you may have to bug out,if the kids aint happy no one will be,games you can play without stuff maybe (leapfrog tag run sheep run etc).
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.

Been going through the ink cartridges and paper at work getting one put together. I don't have a printer here in the Weasel Den, yet.
ReplyDeleteIt is a damn good idea, as you mention, all the bookmarks in the world won't help you if your computer decides to go South. I HAVE HAD TWO GO BELLY UP IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS!
I lost years worth of data,it woke me up that you need a paper back up.
Yep excellent point.If we were to have teotwawki as some predict or even if youre going off grid or whatever it makes good sense.Hell I'm an info junkie,even if I hit the lottery so much stuff I still would want on paper.
ReplyDeleteHere are a couple of items I picked up 2 years ago , these are not the exact brand that I have but, it's the same idea ;

I use and keep a space pen for all this type of thing as it writes in water , underwater , over grease and at any angle. I have about a dozen of these that I keep rolled up inside of a water proof gear bag, the rubber kind that fit inside ALICE rucksacks . Like Busted , one of my hard drives just crashed and I lost all kinds of fkn info ..........
I have also lost many note pads to rain and condensation so, I began using these and all my stuff is good to go . Just a suggestion, talk at ya later .
SORRY ABOUT COLTS !!
