Basic Survival Food Storage On a Budget

If you have not stored up food and water for an emergency or a disaster, this article could be a lifesaver for you and your family.

Is your reason or excuse for not being prepared the same one used by well over 300 million other Americans? The two most widely claimed excuses are, procrastination and finances, then there's those with their heads in the sand or cyber clouds. Oh, almost forgot the 60 +% that truly believe there is no reason what so ever to prepare period. Disasters? Those things happen anywhere but here in my backyard and besides, I'll worry about it when it happens.

If you're in the "not likely will happen" camp, you must be or were living in the outback with no connection to the outside world. It's no longer a matter of what the disaster will be but rather when one will occur. As I'm writing this article Hurricane Harvey is bearing down on South Texas, and many coastal residents interviewed by news reporters, expressed doubt regarding the severity of the storm and the media's expressed urgency regarding immediate evacuation of the coast. If my memory serves me correctly, it is the very same scenario regarding skeptics of Katrina's forecast, resulting in 1,800 deaths.

Most Americans are oblivious about the plethora of pending disasters unrelated to predictable weather conditions such as hurricanes, tornados, rain and snow storms, floods, and even droughts can be forecasted. Recently Geologists are reporting earthquake activity across the entire country with tremors recorded from all major faults. There are over 400 tremors recorded daily in a 400-sq. Mile area of ​​one of the largest dormant volcanos in the world, Yellowstone National Park. Now, not so dormant according to volcanologists. Most of this information is withheld or suppressed to prevent major panic in the affected regions. Such as the fact that Mt. Rainer is also active and swelling as did Mt. St. Helen before its eruption, however, the experts say it will be five times worst because of the lava cork holding back a potential early eruption. National Geographic has produced a video depicting the potential destruction of such an event, and a similar documentary on the potential destruction of Yellowstone's super volcano.

Much talked about in the past regarding the San Andres Fault as a major threat to millions of Californians. However, a discovery has taken precedence. The New Madrid Fault is not new, to Geologist who have studied this area around the Mississippi and Ohio rivers for decades. Recently, unprecedented activity has sparked such a concern that it's potential for destruction could be ten times worse than San Andres fault. Based upon geologic predictions, the US Navy has drawn up new water navigation maps of the US predicting the resulting math which depicts a resulting shipping lane from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Michigan following the current course of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers.

Why can't these findings and predictions be shared the news media? A major reason is their intrinsic irresponsibility, hype, drama, and exaggeration of pending events. What would be the results of a major panic of a vast sector of the population? If the results were vast migrations out of an affected area, where would they go, or more accurately, where could they go?

Another natural disaster that has the potential of eradicating over two-thirds of this countries population is an EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) from a sun flare or a neutron bomb detonated 30-40 miles above the US on either the east or west coast. Most American do not have a clue what an EMP is until it shuts down the grid- and they are in darkness for months or even years. An EMP attack also disables everything with electronic circuitry like cell phones, computers, cars, planes trains, boats, etc. Welcome back to the horse and buggy era.

What I have given as samples to this point are enough to end civilization as we know it and yet I have not talked about the imminent collapse of our dollar and economy, civil war or WW-III, a major pandemic or terrorist attack.

How many more possibilities need I mentioned before I sound like a Doomsday profit or Fear Porn Purveyor or Monger. O, fine, pick just one! Then ask yourself this simple question, "Do I have enough food to last me at least one month?" Do you believe the grocery store will have any food left after one day following a major disaster? If it is a prolonged disaster, will you survive two or three months? What about protecting what you do have from looters and those that wish to do you great bodily harm to attain what you have? How long will the food you now have in your cupboards last? Water? What about when the water stops flowing from your taps? Three to 4 days without water, your no more!

If it were possible to know you only had 1-2 weeks to collect enough food to last three years, do you have the means or knowledge to know how to do so? Well, that is exactly why I'm writing this article, to tell you how to accomplish this.

For just $ 109.00 and a seven gal bucket with n air-tight, water-tight lid, you can have enough healthy food that will store easily for 15-20 years and provides two generous meals per day ($ 0.14 per meal) 50-lbs of long grain rice and 45-lbs of Pinto beans. (From Costco or other warehouse store or food club). Now all you need is pots and a wood camping stove or Solar Sun Oven and utensils. Last but not least, either water or a device that will purify polluted water.

So you don't go crazy eating plain beans and rice, stock up on a large variety of spices and cans of tuna, chicken, beef, Spam, etc. to add more protein and variety to the beans and rice meals.

12 Multi-Purpose Gear Items For Your Emergency Survival Kit

1. MULTI-TOOL WITH BELT SHEATH

This is one of the most important items in your kit. While accessories will vary, a good multi-tool may contain pliers, wire cutter, wire stripper, multiple blades, can/bottle openers, various screwdrivers, nut drivers, scissors, tweezers, ruler, awl, etc.

2. MACHETE

Although not very compact, a machete is lighter than most hatchets and serves more purposes. If you have a machete and a multi-tool in your kit, you will not need a hatchet or a knife. The only function lost with this elimination is the hammer on the back of most hatchets, but sticks or rocks will work just fine for most hammering needs in survival situations.

Blades are made of many different types of metals and alloys, in different tempers and thicknesses, widths, lengths, styles, and shapes. Handles are made of many different types of materials in many different shapes and sizes. A good survival machete will have a semi-flexible blade 18 inches or longer that is easy to sharpen, yet keep a good edge with moderate use. Most importantly, the handle MUST be comfortable and fit well in your hand. With a machete, you can perform any task that can be done with a large knife or hatchet. It can also be used to dig or pry, or as a formidable weapon. Install and use a wrist lanyard when chopping or swinging a machete.

3. PARACHUTE CORD

The most common type of parachute cord has a tensile strength of 550 pounds. That is far heavier than needed for most survival uses. The diameter of this cord is 4mm. That doesn’t sound like much, but it adds up. Smaller diameter cord with a tensile strength of 200 – 250 pounds is quite sufficient and has half the bulk. Use to erect and build shelters and useful camp furnishings, repair clothing and gear, or as a sling for containing and carrying loads, bundles of firewood, boughs, reeds or grass for bedding, pull dead branches down from trees for firewood, boot lacing, belts, snares and traps, “burglar” alarms, binding splints, and secure bandages in place, fire starting material… the list goes on. Carry a minimum of 30′.

4. DUCT TAPE

Get a good heavy-duty brand name roll. Use it to repair clothing, boots, tools, and equipment, construct shelters, furnishings, and implements. Use it to relieve hot friction spots on feet to prevent blisters, and wrap around hands as makeshift gloves. Twist into a “rope” if needed, which is good for making snowshoes. It also makes a good mousetrap and fire-starter.

5. DENTAL FLOSS

A 200′ spool of waxed dental floss can be invaluable. While important for maintaining good oral hygiene, it can serve other purposes such as repairing small items, sewing and stitching clothing, boots (or even skin), making tools and weapons, or used as fishing line.

6. SMALL DIAMETER WIRE

This can be galvanized, stainless steel or copper. The more flexible the better. Use it to repair gear items, make snares and traps, and at the fire pit to suspend a pot, meat, and other foods over the fire to cook. A grill or “toaster” can be made with wire.

7. PLASTIC SHEET

A black 6mil heavy-duty sheet 6’x8′ or larger. Use as a wind block, lean-to, shelter roof, rain-fly, ground tarp, blanket, or poncho, and to protect gear and clothing from rain, snow, and dew. Use to collect and store water, make a solar still. The black color absorbs sunlight creating heat which will help keep you warm and will generate more water quicker than clear plastic when used as a solar still, and it may be more visible to rescuers in certain terrains and conditions.

8. MYLAR SURVIVAL (SPACE) BLANKET

The reflective qualities of a space blanket are ideal for reflecting your body heat back to you, or campfire heat toward you or into your shelter. Used along with the plastic sheet there is are many combinations and configurations that can be incorporated to provide shelter and/or bedding. A space blanket is shiny like aluminum foil on at least one side, which is good for signaling rescuers under sunny conditions.

9. WAX CANDLES

Use for lighting, warmth, cooking, lighting fires, or signaling at night. Melted wax can be used for waterproofing leather boots, and thighs, knees, and seats of cotton pants. During “bug season” include a citronella candle to ward off insects. If out of water and your mouth is dry, chewing on a clump of wax will generate saliva, and it may help curb hunger pains. The act of chewing helps blood circulation in your head which may result in a more alert brain, which is good in a survival situation.

10. HEAVY-DUTY ZIPLOC BAGS

1 or 2 Gallon-size bags are ideal for packing clothing items, food, toiletries, and other gear items. Use to collect and store water. The gallon-size bags can be worn over socks to keep feet dry, or on your hat or head to keep your head dry. Sandwich bags work great for holding smaller items. Worn-out bags can be used to start fires.

11. HEAVY-DUTY PAPER TOWELS

Paper towels are good for not only the obvious everyday uses we find for them, but also serve other uses such as; note paper and wound dressing, filtering sediment from drinking water, and toilet paper.

12. FLAMMABLE FOOD

Fritos and Doritos snack chips are the best choices. While not the healthiest food available, it will still provide fuel for your body, and much-needed salt which helps prevent muscle cramping. Fritos and Doritos highly flammable. Use 2 or 3 as tender, or light the whole single-portion bag for a quick fire in wet conditions.

When assembling your kit, think of other uses an item might serve or other items that might serve its purpose. Consolidate to eliminate the need for several single-purpose items to reduce the weight and space requirements of your kit. Assemble your kit to suit your particular needs, but keep it simple and streamlined with multi-purpose survival gear items and face your next survival situation with confidence.

Why Buy a Survival LED Flashlight

If you look to the recent hurricanes which have devastated the united states and you didn't have a flashlight then I hope you are paying attention.

When you are given advanced warning about leaving then it is time to gather your "bug out bag" as we call them. In that bag, there should be a "survival LED flashlight". Why a special flashlight you ask? Below I have outlined why they are better than the old incandescent type.

  • First, they will last a long time on normal set of batteries. Compared to the old flashlights the new survival LED flashlight will last months compared to just days for the old style.
  • Secondly a LED bulb will last at least 50,000 hours because they draw such a small amount of current.
  • Most of the best survival flashlights are made of aircraft aluminum with threaded battery compartments which are mostly waterproof. They can be purchased completely waterproof with rubber o rings.
  • Many of the newer survival LED flashlights come with T-6 LED bulbs which are super bright and with the new technique of using mirrored glass or highly polished chrome metal to amplify the light output.
  • Another thing that is nice about these LED flashlights are their size. With a small footprint, you can shine a bright spot the length of a football field away.
  • Many of the latest model survival LED flashlights have three modes of operation; click once for SOS signaling, click twice for strobe effect, and click again to return to normal operation.

To sum it up, you need one of these newer flashlights in your car, your home, and in your survival bag.

Concerning Cancer and Plato’s Science of Human Survival

Scientists are telling us that we must stop polluting the oceans with rubbish or face catastrophic consequences. Over two thousand years ago Plato, using geometrical logic, was well ahead of that problem. He replaced fanatical aggressive religious emotion with an evolving ethical emotive mathematics belonging to his axiom that “All is Geometry”. His educational system was specifically designed to gain spiritual scientific access to infinity rather that getting any illusory deity’s permission to do so.

Plato’s atomic ‘Science for Ethical Ends’ was outlined in his ‘The Republic’ to guide an ennobling system of government for the health of the universe. That concept was far greater than stopping the pollution of the oceans. Its specific objective was, that by becoming an integral emotional part of universal wellbeing, civilization would not become extinct. Plato was advocating a medical solution to the problem of tribal compulsion to evolve by developing weaponry. His life’s work is now considered to be the crucial basis for the ethical workings of an infinite living holographic universe.

Plato’s mathematical logic about infinity did not need permission to understand its nature by being subservient to warring gods. He constructed a spiritually ethical scientific map in order to gain understanding about the nature of infinity, to replace the compulsion driving tribes to kill each other. However, Plato’s human survival science’s mathematical logic could not possibly become functional until the biological necessity for tribal science to wage wars of survival became an observable form of a mental cancerous disorder.

When DNA revealed that humans belong to a single species harming itself, tribal science was diagnosed as a form of cancer in 1972. The founding father of the American National Cancer Research Foundation the Nobel Laureate in Medicine, Szent-Gyorgyi, referred to this cancer as being inherited from our Neolithic ancestors.

Many cancer researchers now argue that cancer, being unique to biological systems, is an essential part of the evolution of tribal science but not necessarily part of the evolution of species. Tribal science is associated with the sexual compulsion to destroy life in obedience to the ‘kill or be killed’ survival of the fittest paradigm observed in nature. Male dominance to impregnate females desiring offspring best suited to protect the tribe from other predators led to the evolution of human intellect through the development of weaponry.

The transformation of tribal science to one that will work for all members of the human species is now a medical problem requiring antidote information. Such information is readily available but has been incorrectly classified by tribal medical science as belonging to obsolete junk DNA. This vital non-junk information can be found in human survival communication and information devices recently discovered throughout the entire length of DNA itself.

Plato’s research was destined to become the basis of an atomic science belonging to the workings of a holographic universe. It warned of a far greater threat to civilization than throwing physical rubbish into the sea. Plato referred to a destructive ‘evil’ belonging to the properties of unformed matter within the physical atom. His research led to a human survival map to follow so that civilization could avoid extinction from developing a science leading to the emergence of this nuclear destruction from within the atom.

Plato used the effects of the magnetic properties of lodestone upon human emotional thought, to construct his spiritual human electromagnetic survival compass. He argued that illusory artistic, aesthetical, pleasurable excitement spread the seeds of tribal conflict and required a spiritual ethical wisdom as an antidote to such demonizing of primitive, tribal, artistic emotion. He very clearly pointed out the electromagnetic direction associated with future human survival. It started with the chaos of unformed matter within the dark abyss moving forward to create light and matter.

The European Space Agency’s Planck Observatory, which mapped the existence of the oldest light in the universe, revealed that it was asymmetrical in nature. Therefore, Plato’s electromagnetic human survival direction was one that started from nuclear chaos and moved toward the creation of asymmetrical light. In 1957 the New York Library of Science published the book “Babylonian Mythology and Modern Science”, stating that Einstein derived his theory of relativity from the mythological, mathematical intuitions belonging to Babylonian culture.

Einstein’s quantum mechanistic tribal worldview required physical reality to belong to a state of symmetrical balance. His observer participant theories associated with the nature of symmetrical light instead of asymmetrical light simply headed backwards from human survival to the chaos of unformed matter.

Einstein, being locked into Babylonian tribal science had every right to perceive certain aspects of Babylonian mathematics as belonging to great genius. However, Babylonian understanding of the nature of infinity was governed by warring gods and goddesses that forbade any mathematical access to infinity. This fear of infinity is made clear written on baked clay Babylonian tablets recording the mythological conflict that followed when one of the gods bestowed immortality to a keeper on the Ark during the Great Flood. Another tablet exists showing mathematical deceit was purposely embedded into the Babylonian legal system to enslave the populace to a warlike sexual violence. That legality became embedded into the functioning of global tribal science.

The Sumerian culture measured time as a seven day week with days of twenty four hours and each hour of sixty minute duration, together with direction being measured from a circle containing three hundred sixty degrees. These mathematical concepts were destined to one day become an integral aspect of deep space exploration.

The Babylonian culture developed the more ancient astrological Sumerian mathematics in order to predict eclipses. A clay tablet written by a Babylonian priest to the King exists. It advises him of the forthcoming 673BC Lunar eclipse, which the gods demanded was to be used to terrorize the populace. The people were thereby to be animated into a sexual frenzy to wage war through the worship of their goddess of prostitution and war, Ishtar. This was required by ‘the gods’ in order to expand the boundaries of the Kingdom.

Einstein’s tribal science logic led toward the chaos associated with unformed matter within the dark abyss. His quantum mechanics and every other aspect of his tribal sciences were governed by the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that inevitably all energy becomes unavailable to support life as chaos steadily increases, causing all life in the universe to become extinct. Einstein could never have known that during the 21st Century quantum biology cancer researchers would discover that healthy living information flowed in the opposite direction to the energies of chaos.

As the cancer researcher Szent-Gyorgyi has insisted, healthy living information entangled itself with the energies of chaos in order to evolve universal consciousness. He wrote that the cause of cancer was an incorrect understanding associated with the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

The mathematician Georg Cantor has been acclaimed to be the greatest mathematician in history as well as the most despised one. He agreed with Szent-Gyorgyi’s observation that modern science’s understanding of the Second Law of Thermodynamics carried a mental carcinogenic disorder. He classified this disorder as “a myopic fear of infinity inhabiting the modern scientific mind”. His ‘pagan’ heresy attacked the salaried security of every scientist employed by Christian University scientific research departments throughout the Western educational system. Cantor was driven to his deathbed because these influential Christian scientists created incorrect mathematical theorems ridiculing his now accepted mathematical description of infinite reality.

Isaac Newton believed that Plato’s evolving, infinite universe was scientifically authentic. In his published 28th Query Discussions he wrote that the first cause of gravitational force was certainly not created by the mass of objects in space but by a spiritual force in accordance with ancient Greek science. Although accused of being insane for this criminal heresy his earlier writings that the church had been theologically incorrect suggests that he was well aware of what he had written. His nervous breakdown may well have been brought about by the threat of being burnt alive for publishing that heresy.

We do know for certain that the Christian Church incorrectly promoted the false claim that Leonardo da Vinci was a genius master of the Great Italian Renaissance. The teaching of Plato’s human survival atomic educational system, banished by the Emperor Justinian in the 6th Century, had moved to Toledo in Spain to later become the basis of Islam’s Scientific Golden Age. Sultan Memhed II later provided the Medici Scholars in Italy with the relevant scholarly manuscripts belonging to Plato’s Academy, to be reinstated in Florence during the 15th Century.

Plato’s education system of an ennobling political science to nullify the threat of unformed matter bringing about nuclear destruction was explicit. It consisted of arithmetic, plane geometry, solid geometry, astronomy, and harmonics. Once these were mastered then the student could proceed to philosophical research. Plato argued that plane geometry must not be studied for its practical uses but for training the mind in spiritual mathematics. He let arithmetic become the first of the subjects of education, after which research into its relevant science was to become the student’s concern associated with a future ethical, atomic science.

Leonardo da Vinci, as the Chief Military Engineer of the Pope’s Army was employed by a Christian tribal cult engaged upon waging wars of conquest on behalf of its religious faith. He wrote a statement that completely divorced his tribal scientific genius from Plato’s human survival concept of ethical science. From his published Notebooks, Leonardo had written “The first object of the painter is to make a flat plane appear as a body in relief and projecting from that plane… “, he incorrectly claimed that the flat plane of a painting surface could never contain a true 3D image.

During the 20th Century the artist Salvador Dali, familiar with Plato’s scientific worldview was convinced that paintings could contain important invisible, stereoscopic 3D images. His famous 3D art exhibition, now on show at the Dali Stereoscopic Museum in Spain proved indisputably that Leonardo was not correct in arguing otherwise. Although it suited the purpose of the Church to claim that he was a master of the Renaissance, this was certainly not the case.

Australian Science-Art researchers in partnership with the Australian Sustainability Research Institute, Italian quantum biological cancer researchers and Quantum Art International presented this crucial human survival information to the public, along with paintings presenting far clearer 3D images than Dali had pioneered. By viewing the paintings through 3D, asymmetrical, electromagnetic, stereoscopic glasses much clearer interlocking planes became visible without the technical equipment used to pioneer Dali’s evolving medical phenomenon. Leonardo da Vinci had no understanding whatsoever that the flat plane of a painting’s surface could contain the spiritual human survival information that Plato had predicted.

During 2016 such human survival theory, along with the visual evidence, was presented to the International Contemporary Art Competition held under the auspices of the World Fund for Arts in Moscow during the Russian Art Week. After being awarded a First Prize that organization instigated a relevant Science-Art Research Project in 2017, in association with the Quantum Art Group International Movement and leading Italian quantum biology cancer researchers. 

Many prominent scientists during the 20th Century claimed that Plato’s research laid the foundations for modifying the prevailing mechanistic worldview in order to understand the working of a holographic universe. The Journal of Neurophysiology, established in 1938, publishes articles on the function of the nervous system. During the 21st Century it published about experimental, holographic evidence that is relevant to Szent-Gyorgyi’s cancer research. That evidence was about living 3D optical information interacting with Einstein’s extinction processes to evolve universal consciousness. This line of research opened new avenues for mapping holographic activity, within the brain, associated with the importance of evolutionary theory for understanding cancer.

One paper in particular, entitled ‘Human Cortical Activity Correlates with Stereoscopic Depth Perception’ is important. The paper provides indisputable evidence that neuron activity within the outer layer of the evolving brain’s cerebrum responded to stereoscopic magnetic stimulation by exhibiting two symmetrical geometrical planes of 3D information, interlocking to bring about a state of asymmetrical information, demonstrating the existence of psychophysical reasoning beyond the parameters of prevailing tribal scientific logic. Leonardo’s conviction that plane geometry could not contain true 3D imagery has been shown to be false by electromagnetic medical cancer research as well as by paintings proving he was not part of Plato’s futuristic educational system.

Immanuel Kant, the founding father the electromagnetic ‘Golden Age of Danish Science’, agreed that Plato’s concern that demonized aesthetical, artistic pleasure needed to be balanced by a spiritual, artistic wisdom. He wrote that this wisdom was in fact an asymmetrical electromagnetic, spiritual field evolving within the creative, artistic mind.

This transition of dysfunctional tribal information to fragments of 3D human survival science comprehension, must obviously be creating a serious global medical problem. Epidemiologists appointed by governments to be responsible for such epidemics have classified the 3D dysfunctional information as a global epidemic transmitted by the mass production of dysfunctional communication and information devices. Being subservient to tribal science dictates that they have no antidote for the social damage it is causing. However, the nature of the antidote has been discovered by developing Szent-Gyorgyi’s cancer research, in which the energies of destructive chaos entangle with healthy information to evolve universal consciousness.

A high resolution picture exists of the geometrical shape that the human cell adopts prior to forming its divisional process to create replica cells. It is obviously an infinite fractal expression undergoing an electromagnetic function associated with the dividing process. Epidemiologists looking for an antidote to the global 3D disinformation epidemic realized that Cantor’s infinite mathematics must somehow be involved. They referred to the dividing process as one obeying some form of Cantorian ‘sensibility’. David Hilbert is acknowledged as one of the most influential mathematicians of the 19th and 20th Centuries. He was one of the few scientists who agreed that Cantor’s mathematics was a bridge to the understanding of the nature of infinity.

Hilbert and Einstein worked together on the differences between symmetrical physical reality and electromagnetic biological reality. The main difference was that mechanistic, symmetrical, electromagnetic fields rotate in the opposite direction to living asymmetrical fields. Kant had identified the latter as belonging to Plato’s search for an ethical, spiritual, electromagnetic field evolving within the creative, artistic mind.

Einstein, along with the epidemiologists were locked into a physical, symmetrical world-view. As a consequence Einstein lost interest in Hilbert’s research. Einstein’s view of the physical structure of quantum mechanics embraced a symmetrical concept of reality. He was unable to associate this reality being entangled with Kant and Hilbert’s spiritual, asymmetrical, electromagnetic field belonging to the evolution of healthy artistic wisdom, associated with infinite consciousness.

From the high resolution picture of healthy cell division it became obvious that when poised to divide, the cell generated an electromagnetic field that simply prevented the dysfunctional information from being transmitted to its replica cell. The transfer of the carcinogenic information at a later stage of cellular development is a medical problem requiring antidote information encoded into what, as previously mentioned, has been incorrectly classified as junk DNA.

Both tribal science and human survival antidote science are part of human evolution, so they can be entangled together within a computer program in order to generate a balanced medical human survival diagnosis. All that is required is for the program to be controlled by relevant indisputable human survival scientific instructions to obtain the human survival blueprint.

A relevant computer medical diagnosis can be programmed to emulate the effects of dopamine, a compound in the body controlling human emotions causing compulsive behaviour. At junctions within the nervous system dopamine can build up to create overpowering electromagnetic cravings, constantly governing various aspects of a dysfunctional personality. A simple low powered medical device exists, which can emit a signal that allows the mind to free itself from the overpowering emotional ‘lust’ compulsion, bringing about the capacity to rationalize over self harming rather that a compulsion to inflict harm upon others.

A quote from George Bernard Shaw “Two percent of the people think; three percent of the people think they think; and ninety-five percent of the people would rather die than think.” can be considered to be relevant regarding the fact that so called geniuses, who think they can think, are actually being governed by the emotive tribal genius of very few people.

The shrewd, intuitive, emotional ingenuity of world leaders is extremely valuable. If a computer medical analysis providing the balancing antidote to unscrupulous Plutocratic tribal desires is obtained, then it would also include information giving them access to ethical wealth and power far beyond their tribal mindset’s ability to imagine. It is up to the three percent of the people who think they think, to provide rock solid evidence supporting human survival within the working of a holographic universe in order to bring Plato’s Science for Ethical Ends into existence. Once that is done then world leaders can begin to entertain dialogue concerning an ethical antidote ethos, now that science has come to understand the workings of the holographic universe that we inhabit. They can modify Rene Descates’ tribal axiom “I think, therefore I am” to read “We feel and think, therefore we are”.

Bertrand Russell, known for his emotional allegiance to Babylonian mathematical culture, in 1903 wrote his most famous essay entitled ‘A Free Man’s Worship’ advocating that civilization must worship the Second Law of Thermodynamics that Einstein insisted must govern all of the sciences.

The Russell-Einstein Manifesto proclaimed on the 9th of July, 1955, was about the dangers of nuclear weapons development and called for world leaders to seek peaceful resolutions to international conflict. This famous manifesto was not worth the paper it was written on, as the prevailing North Korean nuclear crisis demonstrates. Plato’s science intended to prevent nuclear destruction caused by the emergence of unformed matter from within the atom, now warrants a crucial investigation concerning the upgrading of tribal science into a science capable of generating the human survival blueprint.

The Australian 2017 Nobel Peace Prize Group, working with the United Nations Security Council regarding the need to nullify the threat of Nuclear weapon proliferation, surely warrants input from scientists who understand the basic functioning of the holographic universe. By collaborating with world leaders about implementing Plato’s Science for Ethical Ends as a medical antidote to avoid nuclear destruction, scientists can be seen as honourung the greatest responsibility associated with their scientific professions.

The Urgent Need for Sea Survival Training With Sertifikasi BNSP in Indonesia

Background

As one of the biggest oil and gas producer in the world (No. 22 with 833,667 barrel per day according to Wikipedia), Indonesia has one of the biggest number of workers in the oil and gas sector. Indonesian Ministry of energy and mineral resources mentioned that in 2013 there were 288.442 number of oil and gas workers all over Indonesia. For the past 4 years, the number increased drastically.

Meanwhile the same data from 2015 cited that the workers at the upstream are at 31.742 workers all over Indonesia. This numbers arise from 2006 data that mention 21.835 people works in the upstream.

Mr. Amien Sunaryadi, Head of SKK Migas while covered by AntaraNews.com mentioned that in the last 10 years, the number of Indonesian workers in the upstream oil and gas industry has increased in line with the increase in operational activities carried out by PSC Contractors. In contrast, the number of foreign workers working in this industry is less likely to increase despite many large projects underway.

This many people who went offshore, need sea survival training.

About Sea Survival Training

For offshore workers, sea survival training is mandatory for the workers who want to work in the offshore areas. It is part of the mandatory offshore workers training required by every oil and gas company and their contractors and subcontractors.

According to MarineInsight.com, Every job that requires its workers to spend specific time in a specific out-of-comfort area makes it necessary for the workers to undergo several tests and courses. These courses are done to make sure that the workers are able to adapt to the newer circumstances. When it comes to working in the offshore areas, an offshore survival course is mandatory for the workers who want to work in the offshore areas.

Offshore areas, in simple terms, mean the high seas and the deep oceanic areas. Working conditions in these areas are hazardous because of the weather conditions like frequent storms and gales, ever-changing currents and tides and the dangerous marine ecosystem for human beings. Additionally, since working in offshore areas means working exclusively on oil drilling process and on oil rigs, it becomes doubly relevant that the workers undergo offshore survival course and offshore survival training.

If proper survival training courses are not undergone by the workers then not only they would be in a loss because of the lack of adaptation but also the oil drilling company would have to change workers very often leading to a loss in both human resources as well as financial investment.

The validity of such offshore survival training is up to a period of four years after which workers have to give such certification again. It needs to be noted that the fees for such an offshore survival course depends on the course and the company from which a person takes the course. However, the fees are not that expensive and the training period is anywhere between three to four days.

With so many training and courses provided for the safety and well-being of the workers, it can be said that offshore oil drilling’s dangers are quite minimized because of the awareness and knowledge that is being created.

So yes, just like other countries, Indonesian offshore workers are required to take sea survival training before they go offshore.

About Sertifikat BNSP / BNSP certificate

BNSP certification is a competency certification issued by the state through BNSP.

BNSP is an independent institution in the form of government based on Law Number 13 Year 2003 on Manpower. The Agency works to ensure the quality of competence and employment recognition in all sectors of the professional field in Indonesia through the certification process.

BNSP also has done some Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) with another ASEAN Countries. These MRAs will ensure the BNSP certificate is acceptable in other ASEAN Country as well.

BNSP certificate will aid Indonesian Upstream Oil and Gas workers to be more competitive in ASEAN market. They will also have more opportunities in neighboring countries.

This means, the needs of Sea Survival Sertifikasi BNSP is almost culminated to be the necessity.

So,

Hopefully there will be a SKKNI (Standar Kompetensi Kerja Nasional Indonesia) for sea survival in the field of Oil and Gas with BNSP certificate (Sea Survival Sertifikasi BNSP) soon. Hopefully many competent people will move to make Indonesia better.

How to Survive in Any Catastrophe

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Nothing makes humans more creative than facing their worst fears. Undesirable circumstances can only be resolved by resorting to uniformly actions. Since time in immemorial, humans have adapted to austerity measures that saw them unearth new ways of survival. A good example is delving back to the genesis of self-improvement approach towards life. Our great grandparents braced harsh times to survive. This article covers on The Lost Ways book by Claude Davis and how we can adopt his concept for our self-improvement.

Unearth the long-forgotten secret to improve your life

In the medieval times, there were no refrigerators, no electricity, no internet and worse of all no computers. But our forefathers were able to get things done in the right way. In this book, Claude helps us understand a long-forgotten secret that was the driving force to our ancestor’s survival ways. They faced similar calamities like we do today without technological advancements. They were able to survive economic crises, famines, diseases, wars and droughts. If disaster strikes right now how many people will survive? Only a few strong willed hard cores of our generation. The current society seems to have buried survival antics and decided to live a comfort zones. We have neglected nature’s wrath that can happen any time.

Essential Survival Gear For Elk Hunting

Anyone who has ever hunted for elk knows how challenging, frustrating, physically-demanding and even painful it can be. None the less, elk hunting can be very addictive. One can easily become obsessed to the point he or she is so focused on the hunt they may not realize how far they have gone, what time it is, and not exactly sure where they are. Here we are going to discuss how these and other factors may come together to be detrimental to your survival, and the gear you should have on you at all times to ensure you survive your hunt.

Imagine this scenario; You and your buddy are hunting elk in the Rocky Mountains. You get back to the truck early evening after hiking all day carrying your 30# daypack. Wow! what a relief to finally get that weight off the shoulders!

You are in the truck heading back to camp you spot a small gang of elk with two bulls in the bunch. These elk are traveling, so you have to move quickly to get to a point 100 yards away to get a shot. You have a knife in your pocket or on your belt, and extra shells in your pocket. Oh! Grab the rangefinder, shooting sticks and binoculars. We are only going just there, this is all we need…

You get to the point just in time to watch the last elk disappear into the woods. You notice the trees open up just a few hundred yards in the direction they are headed, and there is a little “spur” ridge extending off the one you are on that looks like a good spot to shoot from. You get there, they are in range, but the trees are too thick to get a clear shot or there is a cow in the way. There is an hour of daylight left, so you keep following, just sure you eventually will get a shot. The next thing you know, you lost the elk, and it is dark. Oops – forgot to bring a light. As a matter of fact, you have no cigarette lighter or fire starter, no water, no food, and you have on a lite hooded sweatshirt. No matter – the truck is this way. You walk and walk, stumbling over sticks and rocks. Now it is fully dark and you finally admit to yourself your not sure where the truck is.

Elk have a way of mesmerizing a hunter, clouding his judgment and leading him astray. Much like the Sirens of sailor lore and the Pied Piper. It’s easy to find yourself in this predicament. In this case, the hunters make it through a very long, cold, sleepless night and find their way back to the truck the next morning, no worse for wear. This could easily have been a fatal mistake.

Here is what you can do to ensure you survive your next elk hunt; You must have a small accessory pack of some kind, be it a waist/fanny, small shoulder or backpack. Many “module” type packs feature a small detachable pack. This is an ideal system that makes it easy to ensure you have your basic essentials for overnight survival all in one place. This pack must be small, or you might choose not to bring it. Bring it along no matter how short of distance or length of time you plan to be from the truck or cam – your life may depend on it.

Essential survival gear and supplies this pack should contain:

Cigar or cigarette lighter And a magnesium fire starting tool. Fire starting material or tender is good but optional.

LED Headlamp and an extra set of batteries. It is also a good idea to carry a small flashlight such as a mini-mag in a belt sheath.

A bottle of water and a filtering straw or cartridge.

A 4’x6′, or larger sheet of mid to heavy weight black plastic. This can be used to make a lean-to or shelter from wind, rain, or snow, or used as a “ground” cloth. It also works well to keep pine needles and dirt off the meat while boning out an elk in the field.

A compass and/or GPS. A compass is better suited for this small pack, but if you choose a GPS, be sure to pack at least 2 extra sets of batteries.

A very small pocket-size first aid kit. Some of these will even contain a compass and other tools.

Paracord – 10′ minimum. Paracord has so many uses it is a must.

A couple granola bars or small bags of trail mix are recommended but not absolutely necessary. You can go days without food if you must.

Lastly – a ziplock sandwich bag containing several sheets of paper towels. These will be used for toilet paper, cleaning bloody hands and arms, mediocre fire starting material, and wound dressing. Paper towels will still perform if wet – unlike toilet paper.

Providing you have dressed appropriately and have a knife in your pocket or on your belt as most hunters do, this is all the survival gear one needs to survive in relative comfort for short-term.

There are many elk hunting scenarios that can lead to your demise if you are not prepared for them. If you have a small pack containing this short list of essential survival gear items, you will be much more likely to grab it in your haste to catch up to that bull, and to have it along nearly guarantees you will survive a night or two under most conditions, whether you are forced to spend the night, or simply choose to so as to resume the hunt come daylight.

Pack smart, hunt smart, hunt hard. and above all, have fun and enjoy your precious time in the elk woods worry-free and confident you are prepared for surviving your adventure pursuing the majestic and alluring “Ghost of the Woods”.

Clearing Up Confusion in the Different Types of Gerber LMF II Knives – ASEK vs Infantry vs Survival

A word of caution when you buy this style of knife, many dealers don’t even know the differences in the models. I have seen both, brick and mortar stores and online stores selling the wrong knife under the wrong name so BE CAREFUL! It may be worth it to pay a little more from a reputable retailer to be sure you’re getting exactly what you want.

There are three types (not two) of Gerber LMF II knives, the ASEK, the Survival, and the Infantry. Most people think there were only two types released. Here are the differences.

The Gerber LMF II ASEK version comes with the sheath, knife, TWO leg straps, the safety knife, and the safety knife sheath. The extra blades for the safety knife can be found in the handle. The ASEK is ONLY available in the foliage green color and it is INFRA-RED resistant.

The Gerber LMF II Survival version comes with the sheath, knife, TWO leg straps, the safety knife, and the safety knife sheath. The extra blades for the safety knife can be found in the handle. The SURVIVAL version is ONLY available in the camel brown color. It is NOT infra-red resistant.

The Gerber LMF II Infantry version comes with the sheath, and ONE leg strap. The INFANTRY version is available in foliage green, camel brown, and my personal favorite… black.

There is one other thing of importance you should know. From January 2008 to April 2008 the steel of these knives was temporarily changed from the Sandvik 12C27 SS to 440A US SS. In May of 2008 production was resumed with the original steel. Gerber had to change steel types because of a lack of material available. The 440A US SS was the closest match they could get.

These are great knives and I highly recommend them. They are excellent for hunting, camping, survival, and they have even seen action in foreign lands. If you are looking for a good solid fixed blade knife you can’t go wrong with one of these models.

Here are the model numbers of the different types of knives.

Top 10 Survival Gear For Your Emergency Kit

The following survival gear is the top 10 things you’ll need to survive the first 72 hours after a disaster. The list was developed based on research collected from government and non-profit preparedness organizations.

1. Food

Emergency food is the staple for all types of emergency kits at home, in your vehicle or the wilderness. No matter where you are, you’ll always need food to survive. Emergency food bars, freeze dried food, and MRE meals are great examples that can be easily stored and transported.

2. Water

The Department of Homeland Security suggests having at least one gallon of water per person, per day, for drinking and sanitation. Keep in mind that children, nursing mothers, and sick people may need more water. Plan for at least three days of water.

3. Emergency Lights

Emergency lighting is a fundamental requirement for any kit. It serves multiple purposes from navigating at night, reading, preventing depression to signaling emergency response personnel in case of rescue.

4. Communications

When you’re stranded, you’ll benefit from having an AM/FM radio to receive weather and news reports. A whistle and a mirror will also help for signaling rescuers.

5. Shelter

Hazards such as hurricanes, earthquakes or wildfires can force you to evacuate your home or car. It would be important to have a backup shelter which includes at a minimum; survival tents, shelters, rain jackets or ponchos.

6. Warmth

Keeping warm will become vital especially if you live in a cold climate or have to survive in the wilderness. Having extra body warmers or emergency blankets may prove useful especially during a cold night sleep.

7. Survival Tools

Having an extra set of multipurpose tools and supplies will prove useful. As well, when you’re forced to survive, you’ll be surprised how well you can adapt regular items to serve multiple purposes.

8. Hygiene kit

The eighth assortment of survival gear includes having a bug out bag hygiene kit. After a disaster strikes and you’ve set up your shelter and food supplies, there nothing more calming than being able to wash your face and clean your body to regroup. This cleaning process not only washes away dirt and soil to prevent infection but also helps to re-center your mind.

9. First-Aid Kit

The ninth set of survival gear should contain first aid medical supplies. This will become vital for the immediate care of trauma victims and to prevent the spread of further infection. Ensure your first aid supplies include basic items such as bandages, rolled gauze, cleansing towelette and adhesive tape. Be sure to include any prescription drugs, if needed.

10. Personal Products

Finally, the tenth collection of survival gear to include inside your emergency kit comprises of personal products. Personal items such as books, games, a deck of cards may become useful for children and adults to help de-stress. Also, you may want to include important documents in case your home is destroyed. Examples include a copy of a birth certificate; cash & credit cards; passport; insurance documents; phone; phone chargers; medications; phone numbers; extra clothes and a map.

You should attempt to pack your survival gear, however, if you’re in a hurry or don’t have the time to organize all the materials you can find excellent emergency kits online and supplement them with your personal items.

Understanding Types of Advanced Prostate Cancers and Survival Rate

Advanced prostate cancer often metastasizes to the bone. Metastatic prostate cancer survival rate when the cancer spreads to the bone is very low. However, the prognosis is still slightly better compared to liver metastases.

When someone is diagnosed too late with prostate cancer, there is 60 percent chance that the cancer will spread to the bone. When the cancer has metastasized to the bone, the treatment will become more complex. As a result, the metastatic survival rate for bone metastases can be less than 40%. Most patients of bone metastases can only survive for around 19 to 21 months after diagnosis.

Since prostate cancer is a slow growing cancer, many patients don’t really notice the symptoms. As a matter of fact, more than 50% of patients are diagnosed with prostate cancer when it has spread to the bones. In this case, to improve metastatic prostate cancer survival rate and also to ensure effective treatment, the GP must be able to recognize whether the cancer is originated in the bones or it is a metastasis of cancer from other locations.

The symptoms of involve painful urination, blood in the urine and also disrupted flow of urine. However, if the cancer has spread to the bones, the patients will experience additional symptoms that are not related to the early symptoms. In the case of bone metastases prostate cancer, the symptoms include pain in the affected area, weaker bones, sudden fractures and also paralysis. Ribs, spine and hips are usually the location affected by the cancer. However, it is not impossible that the cancer also appears in the other bones.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Bone metastases can be pretty hard to diagnose because the symptoms are similar with arthritis. However, when a prostate cancer patient feels some symptoms in the bone area, it is best to check it immediately because there is a high chance that the pain is a sign of bone metastases.

Bone scan is one of the most effective methods to diagnose bone metastases. This method utilizes radioactive tracer that is injected intravenously to the patient’s vein. If the symptoms are caused by cancer, the area will appear dark in the camera.

When the cancer has spread to the bones, the treatment plan must be adjusted. Hormone therapy might not be the best option because it is known to weaken the bones. In addition to radiotherapy, Bisphosphonates is often used as additional treatment to strengthen the bones.
