Survival
Food and Water
After finding myself doing like many others, telling everyone that the Islamic
Terrorist will begin a round of terrorism using Biological and Chemical weapons
in the United States. It has occurred to me that someone needs to tell people
what to do in order to prepare. My first two reports covered other things, and
this one hits on the way to survive in regard to Water and Food.
The Ministry
here in Israel goes on and we are faced daily with many difficulties not the
least of which is the lack of finances. So as we try to reach out to help you
and your family, I ask you to reach out to this Ministry in the way of a love
gift to the above address, your personal check or money would be greatly
appreciated.
The following
is in no way intended to be a complete study on the subject, but it can save
your life if you following some of these simple instructions.
Water &
Food
There are
many ways to take contaminated water and purify it. I may not even touch on some
of them, but let’s look at a few. The reason I am taking water first, is simple,
water is what sustains life on earth.
The simplest
way is with Chlorine (Clorox) if you are an old country boy like me, you know
when a well goes bad you simply pour a bottle of Clorox down the casing in the
well and wait a day or two and all is well again. But we also know that Chlorine
is poison and can do some serious damage to you and your family. But it is
something you can purchase and just set up somewhere for an emergency. You
simply add an oz to around 5 gallons and wait a few minutes after shaking it,
before drinking it. “I don’t recommend this process” so why am I telling you
about it first. Because I know most reading this will not go out and purchase
some of the other things I am going to recommend and you really do need
something on hand “now”. And this could save your life.
Water
distillation may be the best of all the processes, and there are many ways to
build your own still. You can build one out of a large pressure cooker and
attach copper tubing to the steam outlet. Coil the tubing and allow it to set in
a large pan of water or better if you have running water over the coil. Some of
you old moon shiners may know more about that than others.
You can check
with http://waterwise.com and buy one like Connie and I have, you will need the
distilled water to make your silver with anyway. There is a catalog you can
purchase for $5 called Ready Made Resources, 239 Cable Rd., Tellico Plains, TN.
37385, or call them at 1-800-627-3809 and ask for a magazine. I think it is the
best survival magazine in the world. It has everything on nearly every subject.
By the way I have no deals worked out with anyone and don’t get any commissions.
Colloidal
Silver is also a way to purify water. You pour an oz of the silver into half a
gallon, wait for at least ten minutes. It takes Colloidal Silver 6 minutes to
kill most single cell bacteria, (the bad guys).
PUMPS:
There are two
hand pumps I would recommend, PUR is one, and they make a variety of units. They
will purify any water even salt water. They have a microfiltration and iodinated
resin to eliminate all types of mircoorganisms they have other units you may be
interested in. These can also be found in the ready Made Resources catalog. They
run anywhere from $40 to $400.
Katadyn is
what I believe to be a better pump it does all the same thing the SUR does but I
think it is made a little better. Find them in most survival magazines.
There is a
drip filter that Connie and I use daily here in Israel “Big Berkey” It has the
highest rating of any gravity fed filter system in the world. It will do up to
60,000 gallons without changing filters. It is the preferred water filter for
Missionaries all over the world. It has four silver impregnated ceramic
cartridges with activated carbon. For complete information on the Big Berkey:

Telephone: 877-702-4433 (toll free in USA) or 205-702 4444.
As mentioned
in the first Survival article there is the “Aerobic 07’ 5 year preserver”. It is
a stabilized Oxygen, or if you will a form of Ozone, and no bacteria can live in
the presence of Ozone. Connie and I carry a bottle with us when we travel it is
a great way to purify water before drinking in restaurants or anywhere away from
home. It can be found by contacting Nitro-Pak Specials, 1-800-866-4876, they
also sell other survival items you may be interested in, once again, I have no
connection there just helping you out.
There are
Ozone machines that ozinate liquids that will purify water, the city of Los
Angles now does their water with such a process, the best in the world today.
There is one on the market called WaterOz Ozone Generator, it can be used to
also purify the air in a room. It cleans air and water. I used to have a deal
worked out with these people but by now they have forgotten me. Call them if
you’re interested 1-800-574-1897.
Some 55 gallon drums would be nice to store the water in.
FOOD
Everyone is
talking about MRE’s (Meals Ready to Eat) they cost a lot of money and if you
want to go that way you will find them in both of the resources I have mentioned
above. But if you want my advice, just buy a few months worth of Beans, Flour,
dry milk, Rice, Sugar, Seasoning, Tuna, and any other item to help you make a
little bread and have a treat now and then. You can’t buy and store enough food
to last forever, and all you need is to make it a week or so and by then you
should have things worked out. You may consider however if you have a garden to
begin buying some organic natural seeds so you can begin the process of
gathering your own seeds. As you know the Hybrid seeds we buy today are not good
for gathering seeds for the next year.
OK, I know
this is not a scientific piece of work, but it may help a few stay alive, and
that is all I am trying to do right now. But remember if you are able to stay
alive a year or so longer, and still don’t have it right with God, you lose.
