Spotlight - Ron Hood

Ron Hood has been an inspiration and educator for many people around the world.  His expertise and positive attitude toward survival makes him enjoyable and entertaining while educational.  His down-to-earth mindset makes you feel like you know him personally.  I noticed there wasn't a wikipedia page for him, so I made one.  Needs work!  Check out the interviews on TSP and Ron's site survival.com.  Ron has several videos available on DVD.  Ron also publishes Survival Quarterly Magazine.  Someone once said, "Behind every great man is a great woman" or something like that.  Well, Ron's wife Karen is no exception to that.  She has been beside him on all of his productions.  And be sure to check out the Hood's Woods forum.  There are a lot of great people in there sharing their knowledge and experience.

A quick thought about food storage

In the course of events, you may find critters getting into your food storage.  It may not be a bad idea to prepare in advance.

The American Dream

The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you've been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away. Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day? THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track.

Wise Food Storage Outdoor Meal and Emergency Food Supply

Another alternative to Mountain House which is in shortage currently:
Real Food ... Real Meals ... prepared in minutes by just adding water.

Wise Foods’ ready-made meals are packed in airtight NITROGEN PACKED pouches, and then encased in durable plastic containers. Our unique packaging process removes up to 98% of the residual oxygen through a vacuum oxygen removal and nitrogen flushing practice. Wise Company ready-made meals carry a shelf life of 25 years, with no rotation needed. That's 25 years without the stress of wondering if your family will have enough good, useable food when emergency strikes. Because our entrees won’t need to be rotated every few years like other food storage products, buying Wise Foods will save you thousands of dollars long-term as the cost of food keeps going up. By investing in Wise meals you will again be saving thousands of dollars over the years. In an emergency, food may be worth more than diamonds or gold.
