Let's Try This Again

Shortly after I started this blog, my old laptop had a conniption fit and I lost a lot of my data and a lot of my bookmarks and research that I had been planning to add to this blog. I lost momentum as far as chronicling my efforts online, and worked more towards making hardcopies of the more important stuff, as I have had the time. Since then, I have also recruited my husband onto my side. He has become more and more interested in survivalism and has been doing his own reading. He's taken up a few different projects in an effort to increase his knowledge of useful skills in the case of a serious SHTF scenario. He's learning how to tie knots, and has learned how to make nets, snares, shelters and so on. Very handy, and surprising as well, when he accomplishes a knew knot technique that actually "does something". I hope to add his resources to this blog as well as time permits.
HARDCOPY is very important. There is, of course, an endless selection of books on how to survive in any situation. You can always buy those, but no one book that I have seen has been as all encompassing as what you could compile yourself, for a bit of paper and an ink cartridge for your printer, by printing out what you can find on the internet. Buy a 3 ring binder, or better yet, re-purpose one that you already have, which is what I've done. I have one binder so far, but I can easily see filling more than one. Obviously, the best thing would be to memorize some of the basic stuff you need for survival, most importantly how to secure clean water, shelter, and food. But if you also want to learn how continue to survive over the long run, it would be prudent to begin compiling your own manifesto binder of useful information. You can start with some of the links I will be adding to the list I already have on here. If you have any useful information or ideas that you would also like to share, feel free to comment.
