“Hysteria & Hysterical Fits:” First Aid Knowledge & How It EvolvesFrom More than just surviving.
I used to publish articles and guides concerning first aid on a semi-regular basis on this blog, but over time, have found it’s become harder and harder for me to do so. There’s been a pretty massive shift in attitude on MTJS with regards to these articles. Long time readers may have noticed this shift. Originally, we started out with a: “Here is the info, do with it what you will” attitude, but as we grew, we felt pressure to layer disclaimer after disclaimer within our first aid posts due to concern over potential threats of a legal nature. We are an objectively small blog and whenever writing about topics of a serious nature, I have to be extra careful. Click Here for full article... Click the link above for the full article.
When you go camping, what gear do you take with you? I know that some of your camping gear list choices will vary depending on what kind of camping you’re doing (self contained multi-day hiking excursion vs. ‘base camp’). But that’s okay. I’m curious to put together a general camping gear list, including necessary things (and also things that may not be ‘necessary’ but nice to have!). CLICK for full article...
Food, First Aid and Dead bodies! It's all covered and much more....
If you’re stockpiling conventional medicine for a national disaster, terrorist strike, or economic meltdown you are wasting your time. Expert preppers – the ones who will actually be prepared when SHTF, know that stockpiling pharmaceuticals is no solution for any long term disaster. Every medical station in the country will be overcrowded, looters will fight tooth and nail to get their hands on any supplies, and if the government discovers your stockpile? They’ll snatch it up in the name of “National Defense” But let’s say you’ve already got your stockpile ready. Do you know how to use everything properly? Treat the wrong illness with the wrong medicine, take the wrong pill for the wrong diagnoses, or treat a would improperly and you could be in serious trouble AND pain. Knowing what supplies you need for what situations is the first step, but sadly this is where all other medical survival guides stop. This is exactly why Dr. Ralph LaGuardia has stepped in to fill the gap with the most comprehensive guide to medical survival every created. His new book The Doomsday Medicine Chest is the only book of it’s kind to show you how to really deal with a full post-disaster collapse using alternative medicine. With it you won’t have to memorize every treatment and solution. You’ll have access to it whenever you need. Here’s just a small sample of what you’ll discover in this 60-page, comprehensive book.....continued here Bizarre theory: ancient Biblical prophecy paints a very sinister picture for the future of America1/18/2017 There is something strange going on with everyday Americans…
You might have felt it during the last decade, a sensation of insecurity that comes and goes without any specific reason… … and according to a doctor in history and theology there is very good explanation for this. Dr. Nathan Shepard is convinced that these feeling of anxiety that have been slowly creeping up on the American public have little to do with terrorism or the economy. “The economy has crashed several times it the past. Our security and freedom was threatened during the second world war and during the cold war by forces much greater than terrorists. You must understand all of god’s creations have an inner intuition warning them of imminent danger”. According to his theory this feeling is foreshadowing the greatest event of human history… and the warning signs are encrypted in the final chapters of the Holy Bible. Watch his independent documentary here. “I have worked 17 years studying the ancient texts and all the hidden clues point into one direction: Obama will not finish his second term. The exact timetable is not shown… yet according to my research it must happen before the day our president officially leaves office”. According to Dr. Shepard the church is fully aware of this as these signs have been identified as far back as 2009 but they chose to keep it under total secrecy. While we had doubts about his theory his video presentation was very compelling… I must admit I couldn’t stop watching. And the picture it painted was very bleak. What was amazing is how exactly the Biblical texts related to current day events. Even though I am not a very religious person, what I saw was disturbing… and it all seemed to fit together all too well. As Dr. Shepard told us “American families are not in the least bit prepared for this. We rely on FEMA and other state authorities completely… and we all know how well that worked in the past. That is why I think this warning must be taken very seriously!” Dr. Shepard told us that I more than 145,573 people watched the same online presentation. You too can see it here. Their comments pretty much summed up what I was feeling: “I was shaken […] I will never view the news in the same way again, I must share this with all my friends“ This is a basic (starting point) list of supplies to have for the onset of hurricane season.

Many disasters all over the world have taken countless lives as they ravaged on. We see the proof every day from newspapers, radio and the television. We hear of people dying because they have been unprepared when the calamity struck. And the worse thing about all this is that—the majority of the people that were helplessly killed were women and children. Children do not have to become victims of any disaster. Even with their young minds, as parents or educators, we can help them become better prepared for any type of disaster. Just as we, adults, should be prepared to face any catastrophe, so should they. These few tips should be able to help: 1. Primarily, kids should be able to handle disasters with a sound mind and body. It is good to psychologically prepare the children of the possible disasters and the effects that they could bring. Teach them to control fear and panic by being prepared mentally and physically. Self-confident and well-prepared kids are better able to survive disasters than weaklings. 2. If you are not contented with just you to educate your children about the effects of disasters, then you could ask for professional help. There are certain groups such as The American Red Cross that hold classes for school children. We can help our kids become ready for anything by educating them of the disasters that could happen within your community. Is your area more prone to tornadoes? Then discuss with them how a tornado develops and how they can counter its effects. 3. Discuss any disaster plan that your family has made with the children. They should know all escape routes that the family has established (there should be at least two) and they should be able to locate these places easily. Make sure that you do not keep changing the routes. Be consistent. For much younger children (toddlers and infants), someone should be tasked to take care of them whenever the unexpected happens. This someone should be the one person that spends the most time with the younger children. For children who are already attending school, you should be able to discuss with them the routes that you have agreed upon and practice this with them (do drills) every month if you could. Doing the drills monthly would make your kids constantly aware and alert. 4. Regarding the children’s disaster kits, it is highly important that you consider the age of the child that you are in charge of. If these are older children who are already attending school, then you should be able to put up a kit that includes food, bottled water (kids normally require more water than adults) and a first aid kit. Be sure they know how to use the items inside the first aid kit as this will assure their survival during emergencies when you are absent. For infants and toddlers, think of their immediate needs like infant formula, diapers and bottles. An extra blanket is also necessary for younger kids. Even though these might not be necessary for adults, children could do better with hard candies, cookies and other foods that would keep them busy or pacify them. 5. Discuss the community warning signals with your children. They should be able to recognize the warnings once they hear or see them. 6. Get in touch with the authorities in your child’s school and discuss with them (in the child’s presence) the disaster plan that they have. Make sure, though, that your child is able to recognize which disaster plan is for your family and which is for the school. 7. If your family has a sufficient number of adults, make sure to assign a child or two to each adult. Be clear with this plan and discuss this with the kids. Each kid should know whom to go with during emergencies. 8. Always have your children pocket a contact number of any relative that they could get in touch with in case a disaster separates you from them. This should always be in their pockets. To sum it all up, never underestimate the mind of your kids. Most kids, nowadays, are smart. Just be constant with your plans and they should be able to remember what you have taught them.

How to Survive The End of The World Surviving the Wild Outdoors Safety Soldier: Learn the Art of Self Defense The Disaster Kit: What should be in it?
Just when a disaster strikes, more often than not, families tend to panic not knowing what to do. Although, time and again, authorities tell everyone to prepare for any type of disaster in advance, many people are caught unprepared during such catastrophic events. And this is an alarming truth. There are many ways of preparing for disasters. Your family could prepare a disaster plan where everything from escape routes and emergency communication can be discussed. The most important thing in this disaster plan should be the family’s disaster kit. By design, a disaster kit should be able to help you survive until help is at hand or until the disaster has abated. In case of floods (where you could be confined inside your home), a disaster kit should be able to provide for food and source of power while waiting for help; during earthquakes, power lines could be severed so your kit should be able to bridge those few days that you are without electricity. Your disaster kit is there for your survival. But what’s IN a disaster supplies kit? Take a pen and paper and start jotting down: 1. Keep in mind that the best time frame for any disaster kit would be AT LEAST 72 hours. So when you are planning for food that you would include in your kit, you should always multiply that by three. 2. The most basic necessities during a disaster are: water, food, supplies for first aid and sanitation, extra clothes and beddings. 3. Remember to put the necessary supplies inside an easy to carry bag (a backpack or duffle bag will do). The key here is for you to be able to get it immediately during a disaster and to carry it around with you if you have to. 4. For water: Remember to buy bottled water in advance. They are the safest and the easiest to carry. Keep in mind that different people have varying needs for water. For mothers who are still nursing their children, people who are ill or even children all have varying needs. Remember also that when the weather is hot or humid, the body would need more water so better be prepared for it. 5. For food: Keep in mind that what you should bring with you are non-perishable foods. Store at least a 3-day supply of the following: canned meat or vegetables, canned soup or juices, salt, sugar, pepper (if you must), vitamins, and foods that provide energy (energy bars!). If you have kids in your family, better bring cookies and candies, too. 6. For your first aid supplies: Better bring bandages and gauze in different sizes, tweezers, scissors, wet towelletes, needle, any brand of antiseptic, thermometer, petroleum jelly, latex gloves and soap. It is also advisable to include non-prescription medicines such as aspirin, antacid, anti-diarrhea drugs and laxatives. 7. Sanitation provisions include: toilet papers, soap, garbage bags, disinfectant, chlorine and personal hygiene supplies. 8. Regarding clothing, it is necessary for each person to have at least One set of clothes and shoes (for one change). If you would need heating (and the disaster has severed that, too), then you could include a jacket and some bedding for each family member. 9. One very small but very important tool is a Swiss Army knife. This has everything that you would need during a calamity. With this, it is highly important to also bring spare batteries for your radio or TV. Together with all the above, be sure to know some items that are not in the list but are necessary for some members of the family such as: nursing formula for infants, feeding bottles, diapers, medications, and important personal documents. For the documents, be sure that they are kept in a durable plastic envelope, plastic bag or plastic container. These are the most basic and absolutely the most important things that you should include in your disaster kit. When you have put them all in your bag, be sure to store them in a place where you have easy access even during emergencies. Remember, be prepared in advance to lessen the panic!

A disaster is a fact of life that no one can evade 100 percent. Calamities strike when you least expect them and they take lives by the hundreds (sometimes thousands). Although disasters can be anywhere at any given time, still, you can do something to lessen its catastrophic effects. Each family (or even individuals) should be organized and ready when the unexpected decides to show up. Your family is the best team during disasters. First, you all know your strengths and weaknesses and you could bank on each family member’s strength for the safety of your family. A family disaster plan is a MUST for every family any place in the world. Primarily, your family should be able to point out specific disasters that are common in your area. It would be silly to prepare against tornadoes when they do not, or have never even occurred your area, in the first place. As a family, you should know what disasters usually strike in your community. Although it’s best to plan for any type of disaster, on top of the disaster plan should be your plan when the most common disaster strikes. As a family, you should be able to agree on what to do and whose role is what when the calamity happens. Each should have an equal task in countering the catastrophe. Again, being prepared way ahead of the disaster is imperative. It is ridiculous to start talking in panic just when the family is coming face to face with, say, flood. Bear in mind the necessities that could be cut off when calamities happen: no telephone lines (or worse, no cell phone signals), no electricity, or no water. Your plan should center on establishing the most important part of survival—food and asking for assistance. If you and your family are not confined inside your home by the disaster, it is best to go to the nearest emergency management office in your area. If you’re at home and are not able to go out—don’t panic. Although help could take time to arrive, most probably it will, and the best thing to do is to wait it out and have ample food while waiting for help. Here is a simple checklist that is necessary for your family’s disaster plan (but you could add more according to your family’s needs): 1. Know what type of disasters plague your community and base your disaster plan on that. 2. Know if your community has a warning system. If yes, can you recognize it at any given minute? 3. Think of the people who cannot fend for themselves and who should take care of them during calamities (the elderly, disabled individuals, even pets). 4. Set a place where your entire family could meet in case your home caves in or is destroyed by a disaster. Have a plan A and plan B. 5. Have escape routes. Do not limit it to just one. Have at least two. 6. Post the emergency numbers where the flood cannot reach it and where it is safe from fire. It should be in a conspicuous area and everybody in the family should know where it is. 7. Set up a time for the entire family to practice the disaster plan at least once a month so that everyone would constantly be reminded of what they are tasked to do and how to be alert in their roles. 8. More than being physically and mentally prepared is to be prepared with necessities (food and some toiletries). Arrange a kit where there is ample food and water for everyone (at least 72 hours would be good), soap and also some spare batteries. Always include a flashlight in your disaster kit. 9. As a family, you could enroll in classes that specifically deal and discuss how to prepare your family against any disasters. A CPR or first aid class would be a necessity. 10. The last one on this list is very important: Tell your children what to expect during calamities and how not to panic. Let them know the warning signs of a potential disaster and how to contact you in case you do get separated. Aside from all these necessary things to prepare, it is also better if you constantly keep a prayer in your heart that you and your family be kept safe from any harm during catastrophic moments.
