Dealing With Waste

In this episode we tackle an important albeit unglamorous aspect of survival. Dealing with waste during a disaster. We all have to go sometime. Without proper preparations that waste can become a serious health issue. With the right planning it can become an asset.

We talk about the various methods of disposing of both types of waste. How to get rid of it and how to use it. When treated properly both can prove very useful. From making amona to night soil. We get down and dirty today so you don’t have to.

Ankle Injury

This week our main topic is all about dealing with an ankle injury. What can seem to be a very minor issue, especially now, can be life threatening during a collapse. Making even the tiniest choir into a heavy burden.

I recently had my worst ankle injury. Coming down out of a tree I rolled it completely sideways. At first I thought it was not that bad since I limped inside. Now more than a week later it is still not completely healed. I employed many tactics to get it healed enough to walk. Even still I was completely incapacitated for almost 4 days.

If for some reason I had needed to bug out on foot during that time I would have been screwed. Using crutches wearing a pack is not something I care to do.

We briefly mention looking into mobility work to strengthen the feet to reduce the risk of rolled ankles. Prevention is the better option here. If you do suffer an ankle injury you WILL be down a few days. Period.

Have any suggestion drop them in the comments below.

This week Mike and I discuss everything you ever wanted to know about fire making. We start off talking about several methods of ignition. With our favorite being dispoible lighters. You should be carrying one at all times. We bring up methods that we have not had luck with. Neither of us cares for fire pistons. Next we jump into different forms of tinder. No not the dating app. The Survivalpunk prefered tinder is made from coconut oil. We even have a Youtube Video using coconu sex lube as fire tinder.

Bug Out Bags

This week Mike and I finally talk about Bug Out Bags. We discuss some pitfalls by newbies to survival. I begin with the philosophy used to build all my kits. I use the 10 c’s of survival to build my kits. Those being Cutting, Combustion, Cover, Container, Cordage, Candle, Cotton, Compass, Cargo Tape and Canvas Needle.

The biggest priority being on your Survival knife. All others can be crafted in the wild. Making a good knife in the bush is not an easy task.

Mike goes over the contents of his Bug Out Bags in it’s entirety.
