While many survival skills are often framed within the context of the great outdoors, there are also certain important survival skills that can be applicable within an urban environment. Living in the city may come with many comforts and luxuries, but these can easily disappear during a survival situation. Article by Natural News, republished with permission from Naturalnews.com When SHTF, it’s important to have a comprehensive set of survival skills you can rely on. Here are five essential urban prepping tips every prepper should follow. (h/t to UrbanSurvivalSite.com) Learn first aid Applying first aid in an emergency is not as simple as putting on a bandage. From knowing how to clean and suture minor wounds to administering CPR, learning the fundamentals of first aid can go a long way in helping you be prepared for anything. Time is of the essence during a medical emergency, and instinctively knowing what to do when someone is injured may mean the difference between life and death. Take the time to learn the basics on how to treat minor cuts and burns and work your way up to learning how to fashion splints for fractures and broken bones. Enrolling in first aid classes can help you learn medical emergency assessment and how to perform a number of relevant first aid applications. Stock up on essential supplies A fully stocked survival food pantry is a must-have for any prepper in case of food emergencies. But survival stockpiling requires a little more strategy than simply picking whatever food options you fancy at your grocery store. It’s important to have plenty of shelf-stable food options that are packed with beneficial nutrients to help fuel your body and keep you energized. Some long-lasting food options that belong in your survival pantry include honey, powdered milk, instant coffee, dried beans, nuts and seeds. Don’t forget to round out your survival stockpile with oats, whole grains, complex carbs and freeze-dried fruits and vegetables. Grow your own survival garden Now that you have your own survival stockpile, it’s time to take it to the next level with an urban survival garden. Growing your very own survival garden can help provide you with a sustainable source of fresh fruits and vegetables to further supplement your food supply. Root crops, such as potatoes, red beets, carrots and turnips, make excellent candidates for your survival garden. Not only are they packed with important nutrients but they are also reasonably easy to grow. Learn how to find and purify water Having reliable access to clean, drinking water is a must for any prepper in case SHTF. Even if you are able to get running water from the tap, this may not be immediately safe to drink. Before drinking from any water source you can access, be sure to boil, filter or purify the water first, preferably a combination of the three. Boiling the water can effectively eliminate germs while water filters or water purification tablets can help remove chemical contaminants. You can even build your own water filtration system with some charcoal, rocks, grass and sand. (Related: Prepping basics: Essential tips on how to prepare for a long-term water supply disruption.) Learn how to start a fire Starting a fire is one of the most basic survival skills every prepper should learn. During a power outage, a simple fire can help provide heat and light, allow you to cook food and boil water, as well as signal for help if you’re in need of a rescue. While you can start a fire with regular matches or lighters, you can also get a few sparks going with some flint and steel or a simple lens.

Whether that means saving the country or just saving one’s family, Americans are still able to take actions that will improve their personal situations while hoping the nation itself can be improved in the near future. “I’m generally an optimistic person so I get very annoyed by fearmongering,” said Jason Nelson, co-founder of Prepper All-Naturals. “Most Americans are neither stupid nor blind. They don’t need to be told that disaster may be around the corner. Either they see it or they don’t.” Nelson has seen truly bad situations. As a combat disabled veteran who served across the Middle East, he knows that as bad as many Americans think things are today, they can get worse. That’s what drives him to not only try to make things better for his fellow Americans but also to prepare them in case everything goes south. It’s easy to point at multiple threats facing Americans and declare them as “existential,” but there are actually common sense reasons for Americans to be stocking up high quality survival food. In times of such turmoil, it behooves Americans who have the resources to prepare for what may be coming. Here are three reasons now is the best time to start (or continue) stocking up on survival food, including the 25-year shelf-life Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, or Sirloin sold by Prepper All-Naturals. Survival Food Is Not Getting Cheaper Freeze drying food is time-consuming and expensive. Beef, for example, must be cooked, frozen, and then freeze dried for over 24-hours in order to retain flavor and nutritional qualities. Unlike dehydrated beef or jerky, freeze dried beef does not suffer from a massive drop in quality. Across the board, food prices are rising. This is especially true in the survival food industry because the food must be taken from fresh to freeze dried BEFORE it can be packaged and sold. Prices have been skyrocketing for meat products to the point that a few survival food providers have stopped offering beef and chicken. Today, companies are doing what they can to keep their prices affordable but that may not be an option if food price hikes continue to outpace inflation… which is already bad enough. They buying power of the U.S. Dollar will almost certainly not get as much food in the future as it can today. Supplies Are Dropping Survival foods that were in stock at all times just last year are being listed as out-of-stock more and more. Even giants like Amazon and Costco are struggling to keep survival foods shipping or stocked on the shelves. “We anticipated the demand spike last year which is why we started overproducing,” Nelson said. “It’s easy to stay ahead of the game when you only sell one product type and it happens to have a 25-year shelf life.” The biggest challenge for many survival companies is that freeze drying has a finite production scale. The process cannot be sped up and unless there are open freeze dryers, it’s not effective to hire more people when demand is so high. In other words, production is forced to remain steady even when so many people are starting to buy survival food as they are today. Quality Matters There’s a common theme among many new preppers. Podcaster Joe Rogan said it best when he noted a couple of years ago that he had stockpiled tons of beans and rice buckets and he’ll be happy with that and nothing else if necessary. Experienced preppers, especially anyone who has lived off low-quality food for extended periods of time, know that there’s a huge difference between good and bad survival food. The psychological effects of eating poor quality foods repetitively often hit much faster than people expect. Then, there’s the health concerns; protein in particular needs to be the best it can be for sustained periods of “survival mode” because poor quality meats or meat alternatives can cause cascading medical issues. Click here to see all that Prepper All-Naturals has to offer. Whatever event or events prompt the need to eat survival food, chances are high that over extended periods people will simply opt to eat less of their food because they won’t have the appetite to eat what’s necessary to retain strength. Low quality food can be both emotionally and physically draining. Today, the “premium” survival food companies are running out of supplies faster than their budget competitors. This is natural because some foods such as the infamous “beef crumbles” offered by many survival stores become less appetizing the more they’re eaten. “We had a customer tell us she had tried a few versions of ‘beef crumbles’ and they all tasted and felt like meat flavored porridge,” Nelson said. “Now she’s subscribed to receive both Ribeye and NY Strip monthly and she often uses it in her regular cooking.” When survival food is good enough to eat during normal conditions, it’s definitely good enough to eat if things go south. Prepper All-Naturals is maintaining a strong supply of beef by partnering with multiple Texas ranchers. Their quality is the highest in the survival industry.

Thank you for your support!) Some non-preppers may take things like electricity for granted until they are in a scenario where they no longer have it. It can be hard to find a reliable power source, especially if you are unprepared for a widespread power outage or grid-down emergency. Article by Natural News, republished with permission from Naturalnews.com And while storing energy has become more effective thanks to advancements in battery technology, you still need to generate electricity. (h/t to TruePrepper.com) Before SHTF, you can benefit from knowing the different ways to generate electricity on your homestead. Once you have prepared a reliable alternative energy source, you can also prepare by stocking up on shelf-stable food like grains and nuts. Solar power In most emergencies, even after natural disasters, the sun will still shine. Solar power is one of the most reliable alternative energy sources, but it can also be one of the most intimidating. It may require a big financial investment depending on the method you choose, but it’s also becoming cheaper. Sometimes the government also offers incentives for a solar home system. Gasoline generator Gas generators are one of the most popular options for emergencies and power outages. However, gasoline isn’t the most stable fuel so you need to store gas and fuel stabilizer in your stockpile so it’s ready when you need it. Crank generator Crank flashlights often come with emergency radios because they require very little power. Note that the crank function won’t be generating many watt-hours but it could be enough to make sure an important text gets through during an emergency. Natural gas and LP (liquid propane) generators Propane and natural gas are the leading choices for home standby generators. Natural gas is usually less prone to outages during emergencies, especially when compared to electricity, and propane is usually stored on-site in tanks. These options are ideal for short-term emergencies and natural disasters but they may lose viability if supply chain difficulties become permanent. If you can get large tanks, you can store a large amount of fuel. Just make sure you follow the half-tank rule to maximize your preparedness. Vegetable oil generator Rudolph Diesel’s original design for the diesel engine used vegetable oil, which could be an alternative fuel with less demand during emergencies and survival situations. Most cooking oil is a byproduct, and having a generator option that runs on vegetable oil may benefit you when SHTF. Diesel generator Diesel generators usually cost more and are heavier than gas generators but tend to use less fuel for the same energy output. They are also less common because of the cost difference. Note that some standby generators run on diesel, but they are more common in commercial and industrial settings. (Related: EMP-proofing MYTHS preppers need to know about.) Steam engine Steam engines changed the world in the 18th century, and they work just as well in modern times. While you can’t exactly buy a steam engine at the hardware store, you can learn how to set up your own if you want to use this as your power option. Check videos online to learn how small car engines or two-stroke engines are converted into steam engines. Hydroelectric generator Water and gravity are some of the most consistent power sources you can find. While hydroelectric generators aren’t common, you can make them at home with traditional alternators and some research. If you decide on a hydroelectric generator for your homestead, you will also need to find a water source with a differential in elevation generating kinetic energy such as a fast-moving river, a waterfall, or a dam. Wind turbine Like solar energy, wind turbines will need consistent weather conditions to perform reliably. This makes it less ideal as a primary power source, but wind turbines can work well as secondary power sources. Biomass stove Using heat to generate electricity is also a great option for emergencies. Unlike propane stoves where fuel can be limited, you can find wood to burn in a biomass stove. A biomass stove will convert the heat to energy that can charge small devices such as cell phones. If you are worried about different survival scenarios where you may run out of electricity, prepare ahead of time so you don’t have to rely on grid power.

Stevie Nicks shares the spotlight with her friend Harry Styles at BST Hyde Park

Joe Biden's crumbling support has reached his campaign's pocketbook.

Meta, formerly Facebook, announced on Friday that the platform would be taking away restrictions from former President Donald Trump’s Meta and Instagram accounts in the next few weeks. 

What’s the worst-case scenario for Democrats right now? The worst-case scenario is not Joe Biden dropping out. If Joe Biden dropped out, they’d get Kamala Harris or somebody else, and then they’d have a fresh race against Donald Trump. And the worst-case scenario is not Joe Biden staying in because, if he stays in and everyone in his party consolidates behind him, he probably loses, but it doesn’t have a massive down-ballot effect. The worst-case scenario for Democrats is: not being sure. It is the worst case scenario because more than half the party wants Biden out while he and his family want him in. It’s tearing the party apart. It’s creating massive chaos inside the Democratic Party. It is sinking Biden and the rest of the Democratic Party’s poll numbers. And over the course of the last couple of weeks, what he’s done is just make that situation much worse. The polling data right now is very consistent. Trump has a consistent 3-5 point lead in the national polling data, according to Real Clear Politics. Their polling average shows Trump leading in the following battleground states: Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. He is within spitting distance in Virginia, New Hampshire, and even Minnesota. All of this is a disaster area for Biden because the map is exceptionally broad for Trump and it is extraordinarily narrow for Biden. But the Democratic Party can’t force the old man out. Despite the fact that, according to a Pew Research poll, he currently has a 32% approval rating — including a 27% approval rating among people aged 18-to-29, which is supposed to be his radical, magical base — every so often, some sort of outlier poll shows a dead heat between Trump and Biden. That’s enough for Biden to believe that perhaps he can pull the election out after all. Yesterday, a brand new ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll was released finding Trump and Biden in a dead heat for the nation’s popular vote. Those results almost mirrored those of an ABC News/Ipsos poll from April in which registered voters favored Trump 46% to 44%, with 8% going someplace else. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show The big problem for congressional Democrats is that they want to oust Joe Biden. But they’re going to need better data than polls like that one. What they really need to do is somehow convince Jill Biden, who is the driving force behind Joe Biden’s logic, that there’s no way he can win. But there’s no way to convince him of that because he keeps thinking that the poll shortcomings he is having right now are due to the fact his own base is not supporting him properly, according to Politico, which reported: The first family remains committed to the campaign, with first lady Jill Biden and the president’s son, Hunter, both telling confidants that they still believe that the president is the only candidate who can beat Trump, according to the two people familiar. The first lady has also expressed fear that bowing out would make the Atlanta debate a defining image of her husband’s presidency, an outcome she finds unacceptable, the people said. Biden’s sister, Valerie, also remains committed to the campaign but has not ruled out advocating changes if the race becomes damaging to her brother’s health and legacy. In essence, Biden’s immediate family is telling him to stay in. And Jill Biden — who has a bizarre image in her head that Joe Biden stepping down would be much worse for him than if he runs and loses — is the person in his ear. Meanwhile, aides are bracing for a new wave of defections following Biden’s Thursday press conference. But the point is: It wasn’t as big of a disaster area as many of the Biden critics had hoped. Contrastingly, it was a best-case scenario for Trump because, if he and the Republican Party want chaos to remain inside the Democratic Party, Biden performing barely well enough so he sticks around is ideal. That is precisely what is happening. A series of reports indicate a growing movement inside the Democratic Party to replace Biden. His aides themselves are leaking like fury everywhere that Biden needs to leave the race. All of this has been building since the presidential debate. Yesterday, Biden spoke at a press conference. This was the moment when Biden was supposed to turn into “Smokin’ Joe,” come out gunning, be strong and powerful. First, Biden mentioned it would not be like a normal press conference in which he just called on people randomly. He had a list of reporters he would call on, presumably prescreened by his team. None of the reporters asked about Biden not having cabinet meetings for nine months. None of them asked about the fact that Joe Biden’s White House called to edit radio interviews this week. None asked about a possible Parkinson’s diagnosis. No questions were asked about why Hunter Biden, a convicted felon and longtime crack addict, is now in the inner circle and attending cabinet meetings. Biden referred to “Vice President Trump,” saying, “Look, I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president did I think she was not qualified to be president.” He also said no one has suggested he take a neurological test. Except for half of America. He continued, saying, “I’m following the advice of my commander-in-chief.” Jill Biden has a new nickname, apparently. And this was his best press conference. But it may have been good enough so he stays in the race. And the chaos resulting from it is great news for Trump.
