Comment on EMP – It’s Already Happened! by Scott

Regarding the question of, “Has it happened?”, the answer is a well documented YES. On September 1, 1859 the “Carrington Event” was so strong it caused fires and disruptions in telegraph equipment across northern Europe and the United States.

Comment on Is Martial Law likely for the U.S.? by Scott

I am new to “prepperdom” It took me decades of education, analysis, and discussions those holding a wide spectrum of opinions to get here. Just recently began looking over this web domain. I want to share a few comments on how likely or unlikely “Martial Law” is in Uncle Sam’s community. (By the way, Marshall Law is essentially the broad scale replacement of laws and individual rights with the decisions and commands of any person or persons “in authority” at the time.

I agree that the executive order mentioned is not cause for alarm as a stand alone document, especially in the context of similar previous documents Though the vagueness of what constitutes a national emergency is most important, this is not the first time that authority was established.

What concerns me and some others is the context of the last decade of events and developments. What has developed in the last few years increases that concern (and NO, these concerns are not only about what person is in the executive mansion.) There is and has been throughout history the risk of any government creeping toward what some people consider marshal law. That fact and the experiences of the colonists are the very reasons for the Declaration of Independence and the limitations of our Constitution.

No one can absolutely predict events or conditions that may develop in the years ahead. It is the severity of possible events that will determine whether martial law will be declared and where it is implemented. I mentioned before that I became a prepper only after decades of analysis. At this point, I have decided that, in my opinion, the complexity of our dependence on a fabulously frail web of technologies increases the probability of a crippling emergency prompting martial law or near marshal law. I believe the probability has now increased to slightly above 50%.

Ah, this is true! Rabbit meat is very good, and it can be used in any recipe that calls for chicken.

“If you treat your rabbits right, they will return the favor, with their lives!”

Maybe you should have written it as “…they will return the flavor…” for rabbit meat is really yummy.

Comment on Prepping for a cruise ship disaster by Diego

I agree with this. A great number of casualties during accidents can be avoided if people know what to do in case disaster strikes.

Hey, Stan,

I think it just takes time and persistence to get readers! You might consider burning a feed – I like having all my content delivered to me automatically through an RSS Reader – so it doesn’t get mixed up with my emil! I notice you only have email subscriptions. (Just a suggestion, though – I like your blog!) Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for sharing the ebook – looks like a great resource for people.

I will check it out and perhaps share the info with my own readers, although there aren’t too many yet

Comment on Here comes the sun….and the wind, too! by Georgene

This does, indeed, help a lot! I was beginning to think that I was going to have to give up the solar cooker, due to the wind issues. Now I have an idea of how to overcome those. Thanks much!

Within the very first week of using my solar cooker I discovered that the wind was more of a problem for me than the clouds. So I dragged out an old sliding glass door that I had purchased from a recycling store for $50. bucks, and some used lumber and nails and erected a diagonal wind brake on the South East corner of m cabin to block the prevailing South winds in my area. So whether you are using a “Box Oven” or a “Parabolic Cooker”, it does a beautiful job of not only protecting your solar cooker from damage but eliminating 90% of the “Wind-Chill” (even on extremely windy days) that would otherwise make it impossible to reach the temperatures needed for baking or frying food. As it turns out, It’s also a great place to sit and relax on days that would otherwise be unpleasant to sit outside. Hope this helps. – Light Dancing
