Take a look at AquaRain water filters,expensive but very effective.The ceramic filters they use get everything down to about 1 micron.

Yup. The number one cause of death is birth. It has a 100% mortality rate.

Everyone who has exercised regularly, eaten a fibrous balanced diet, and refrained from the physical vices has died or will within decades.

The rest of us may die sooner, but personally I’ll take quality over quantity. Living long after SHTF is not on my to do list; if it happens, it happens.

Best I can hope for is to sell my life dearly if called upon to do it.

Thanks. We have a book that gives examples of edible plants in our environment, but I think that we also need a book that will give us examples of plants that have medicinal properties. Heaven only knows what the future has in store for us.

Bleach or peroxide good if you shelter in place, iodine better if you have to move - or anything in drops

Might want to recheck those. If the first one was true I’d have been dead the first day my parents let me play outside.

All preppers will die also. Focus more on the life to come than this transient existence.

Lots of FReepers have sworn to do their best to defend the constitution and the United States to the best of their ability. Don’t recall anyone ever letting me off the hook, so, as far as I’m concerned, some of us will do what we gotta do. But in the end, we gone!

Every time you refill a prescription take 3 days worth out and stash it. Add to it with your monthly refills. Before you know it you’ll have 3-4 months worth.

True,but before I let savages murder those that I love-I feel bound to resist with extreme violence.

1. You die of thirst or waterborne illness.
(Sawyer Water filter)
2. You die from fantasy-world planning.
(Tough one to G2)
3. You freeze to death.
(Gonna be damn cold for a few months without heat, but survivable)
4. You starve to death.
(Gonna take a while to use up our stores)
5. You have an accident involving major trauma.
(SOL, that’s life)
6. You get murdered when raiders or looters come to steal your stuff.
(Well armed, but no guarantees of course. Except that I won’t die alone)
7. You get sick.
(see #5)
8. You get an infection.
( cipro lasts indefinitely kept refrigerated as does a MRSA cream. My doctor has given me scripts for both. Still, roll the dice)
9. You die because you are fat and/or out of shape.
(Decent shape for my age, but I’m not running. I plan on being surrounded by brass when I die)
10. You die when you daily medication runs out.
(18 months stashed. After that, well if things haven’t improved it’ll be time to even some scores on the way out)
