The fine folks over at MPowered asked me about reviewing an inflatable solar lantern. Of course I am. What a neat concept. I’ve been playing around with it for a few weeks now. Testing out the features. Trying to use it in my daily life. Sadly I forgot to take it out to Dual Homestead for an overnighter. Another reason that packing lists are so good. I have used it at home as a lamp. Finally I’m ready to tell you guys about it. So let’s have a closer look at the Luci inflatable solar lantern.
Bacon doesn’t grow on trees. Right? Well maybe it does. I was reading a blog post on Survival Sherpa about uses for pine. It was a list of 13 things you can do with a pine tree. I got to the seventh one and my jaw hit the floor. Pine Bark Bacon. Wait what? Bacon from trees! Have I died and gone to heaven? How have I missed this fact? I knew that the pine tree has many edible parts. I enjoy drinking pine needle tea. I rely on it to keep me from getting colds every year. I also knew the inner bark was edible. I did not know about pine bark bacon though.
I knew the moment I read about pine bark bacon I would be eating it. Soon. Today Dave and I from Dual Homestead were debarking a pine tree. Using brush axes as bark spuds. No safety Sally’s I don’t want to hear about it. They did a great job as bark spuds. The whole time though I wanted a draw knife. Or my trusty Buck Hoodlum. With all the bark removed I peeled some of the inner bark off to bring home I came in the door kicked my boots off and starter frying the pine bark bacon. I was so excited to get to it.
Where can I buy cheap ammo online? We’ve all had this question. No one want’s expensive ammo. I want ammo for cheap. Especially for target practice. For my self-defense rounds I will spend more. This year I want to take more firearms training courses. For that I need to find cheap ammo online. This past year I’ve bought a few boxes here an there. Many retail stores have ammo limits in place. It’s hard to stockpile a 1,000 rounds of ammo 3 boxes at a time. When It’s in stock. I decided to go looking for cheap online ammo.
With Freedom Munitions I found an online ammo company I can endorse. They have great ammo prices. Fast customer service. Great reviews from shooters.
So lets take a closer look Freedom Munitions and see why I think they are the best choice for cheap online ammo.
Ebola Outbreak here in the US? No not yet. Honestly probably never will. Keep calm and continue to prep. Did you come to Survivalpunk today worried about the Ebola outbreak in Texas. By Ebola outbreak I mean 1 confirmed and 1 suspected case at this time. I have not looked but I’m sure there are people trying to make a buck off this already. I’m here today to calm people down. I’ll share some Ebola facts with you.
I’m not even worried about an Ebola Outbreak. Not in the current state of the virus. If it mutates into a worse strain then maybe. Why am I so calm about Ebola. Why am I not running around buying N95 respirator masks? I went and got the facts about Ebola. I talked with an expert in the field. You can check out that interview with Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy Here. Let’s dig into a few reasons to be not scared.

Have you ever wanted to drop everything and leave the rat-race?
Everyone has….
Nobody does….
UNTIL NOW….
Meet David and James, two Tennessee Preppers carving out a homestead with virtually no budget, no support, and no backing down.
Both are rugged individualists,
Experts in their fields,
But they have widely different knowledge, skills, attitudes, and goals.
Can a Punk Anarchist dedicated to green living coexist with a gun toting ultra conservative?
Can an overweight bookworm keep up with a crossfit disciple?
Can they do the impossible without killing each other?
Meet James, owner of Survivalpunk.com
James came to prepping from his experience as a homeless teen , thrives on a paleo diet, is deeply involved with sustainable living, comes to the homestead to get in touch with Nature and become food self-reliant .
David is a former Marine and author of several preparedness related materials, his company, Shepherd School has trained firearm instructors for the past decade. His work as a professional emergency manager showed him how fragile the system is and his goal is to prepare a defensible off grid homestead to protect his family in the event of a catastrophic societal collapse…
Before they build they have to demolish the remnants of the former occupants…
James wants to recycle to materials to make a mobile tiny house; Dave just wants to blow it up…
How will they decide what to do, How to do it, and what compromises, hacks, and DIY tricks will they have to use to carve a farm out of the forest…
FBI say no on killed at Sandy Hook.
