What NOT to eat in a crisis

I wasn’t planning on writing an article today…

Especially since the Mrs always tells me how I should be spending more time with her and the kids.

But I just saw something at the grocery store that I had to let you know about.

And to make sure you’re not making the same mistake.

There was this dude with a cart filled with canned food.

You know, canned beans, canned soup, canned meat, and the like.

And I overheard him saying how he’s creating an emergency stockpile.

And how these cans will be essential in bad times.

While I appreciate a man who’s trying to look out for his family,

Canned food ain’t it, brother.

What some folks don’t know is that canned food has a high sodium content.

A single can of minestrone soup contains around 1,550 mg of sodium.

That’s more than half a teaspoon of salt!

You might be thinking that’s nothing,

But let me tell you, if you give that to your family in an emergency,

This is what you’re risking.

Picture this.

The power’s been out for days.

The storm of the century has hit.

And you have your water supply starting to run low.

Then you reach for those canned beans.

And you’re stuffing down salt even though you’re dehydrated!

I’m no doc, but this isn’t healthy.

Take a look at what happens when you’re dehydrated.

The last thing you need in an emergency is for your kids and you to have high fever, sweating, or vomiting.

See how easily things can take a turn for the worse?

Everyone thinks canned goods are ideal for emergencies.

But if you think one step ahead, you begin to see the flaws.

So what’s the moral of our story? Balance, folks, and a keen eye on the details.

It’s not just about having enough to eat but having the right things to eat.

Foods that provide sustained energy, require minimal processing and don’t sap your precious water supply are your real allies in a crisis.

Stay safe, stay smart, and remember, survival is as much about what you don’t do as what you do.

Until next time, please stay safe, God bless, and keep your head on a swivel!

Post-apocalyptic currency

As much as I hate to say it

The dollar, like the current US military, is losing its value around the world.

I remember when the American currency, as well as the military, used to be proud.

A global leader.

But not anymore, folks.

Inflation is on the rise. And we are currently going through a tough US recession.

And yet, experts say it’s nothing compared to what’s coming.

There could be a time when our wallets are as good as empty.

If that time comes, we have to be ready.

And think outside of the box.

If the world goes to an end of times scenario, and everyone struggles to meet their basic needs, how can we ensure we have food to eat and a roof over our heads?

Well, how did our ancestors do it?

By trading valuable goods and services.

When we talk about bartering, most people think of precious metals, ammunition, or medication as the leading currency.

And while that’s true, there are some humbler and underrated everyday items that will become invaluable in times of need.

Matches, for example.

We take them for granted these days. But in a post-apocalyptic world, the ability to build a fire can mean the difference between a hot meal and going hungry.

So stocking up on waterproof matches? Not a bad idea.

Next up, hygiene products. In extended emergencies, cleanliness can be the first casualty.

Simple items like soap, toothpaste, or sanitary products can suddenly skyrocket in importance, not just for comfort but for health.

An infection in an emergency situation? Not on my watch.

Another underrated example is seeds. Yes, those tiny things we plant in our gardens.

The ability to grow your own food can be a lifesaver.

And, of course, skills will be as valuable as items.

Knowing how to mend clothes, repair tools, or even basic first aid? That knowledge can make you indispensable in a pinch.

My advice? Take a moment to reconsider the value of what’s around you.

Begin collecting a few essential items.

Not just for your use,

But as potential barter material.

Remember, in challenging times, it’s often the little things that make the biggest difference.

Let’s keep an eye on the details, folks.

Imagine this chilling scenario unfolding before your very eyes:

The emergency alarms blare, indicating a dire situation.

A government official, closely tied to the current administration, barges into your sanctuary, demanding access to your hard-earned stockpile.

Your carefully accumulated supplies are loaded into their bag, and they start distributing them among neighbors, including those who once mocked the idea of a disaster ever occurring.

It sounds like a nightmare straight out of a dystopian novel or a page from a history book on communist regimes.

But believe it or not, due to Executive Order 13603, recently signed into effect by the Dems, this frightening reality is happening in America right now.

Under this executive order, the government has the authority to seize and redistribute YOUR essential resources, including food, water, and other vital supplies.

However, there is hope.

A survival expert has shared a 30-second “stockpile hack

That can effectively block the government from laying hands on your carefully curated gear.

This invaluable information is a game-changer for every prepper out there.

Don’t delay! Watch the expert’s short video, especially the crucial segment at 3 minutes and 54 seconds, to safeguard your stockpile and protect your family’s well-being.

Outsmart the government by securing your stockpile.

Remember, knowledge is power, and the time to act is now.

Share this vital information with your fellow preppers before it’s too late.

God bless you for reading this, and please keep your family safe!
