As far as survival tools go, you really can’t get much better than trees. Obviously, there’s the fact that they’re a major source of oxygen. As if supplying humans with the element they need to keep breathing isn’t enough, trees are also generous with providing food, shelter, and even raw materials for making tools. On a practical note, trees can help you mark the passing of time in a survival situation. You may not know exactly what day it is, but you can get an idea of what season it is based on the leaves of trees. As a habitat for different animal species, they also encourage biodiversity. Of course, some trees are better than others, depending on the situation you’re in. Here are 10 North America trees that are good for helping human survival, according to AskaPrepper.com: Continue reading “10 North American trees every survivalist should know”

Sometimes people think that a summer power outage is easier to deal with than a winter one. After all, in the summer, you don’t have to worry about freezing to death, which is a very real threat during a long-lasting winter outage.
However, a summer power outage carries its own set of problems. Foremost are heat-related illnesses and the higher potential of spoilage for your food. Continue reading “How to Survive a Summer Power Outage”
There’s a category of story we call “Them Not Us”—US media reporting on problems abroad, and seemingly not noticing that they have the same problems at home.

The image [below] is of the 73 firearms turned in on the 30th of June, 2018, in Montgomery, Alabama. While there are many inexpensive firearms on the table, there are some classic and expensive collector items as well.

One of the “assault weapons” is a Mossberg 715T, which is an straight blowback Mossberg .22, dressed in a plastic shell to make it look like an AR15 clone.

Fast-food restaurants are already grappling with rising wages and a smaller pool of workers. Now 11 U.S. states want to restrict chains’ ability to bar employees from jumping to another franchisee across town.
The investigation by states including Massachusetts, California, New York and Illinois, announced Monday, is targeting so-called no-poaching agreements at some of the industry’s largest chains. The states argue that the companies — the list includes Arby’s, Burger King, Dunkin’ Donuts and Wendy’s — are depressing workers’ earnings by preventing them from moving to different franchisees of the same chain.

That is my son and I and we are still up against this very corrupt good ole boys county. Feel free to add this:
Judge Casey Blair, 86th District Court of Kaufman County continues the tyranny of this man and his son (who is now in his 20’s). Casey Lee Blair continues to pursue this father like a wild animal, a dad who has paid $68,000 to date in child support which is far more than the 20% of his income for that time period. Judge Casey Blair refuses to calculate to see if this man, Todd Tomasella, has paid his lawful child support amount. Casey Lee Blair is getting a percentage of that money that is supposedly owed by Todd Tomasella and therefore refuses to let it go.
