What to do in a Terrorist
Attack
In the late
60’s/early 70/s I lived in Northern Ireland and during this time we saw the
height of the troubles with daily bombings and shootings on our streets.
Even to the point
where the terrorist would place large bombs in the actual doorways of the pubs
which were full of people and warn them not to more for so many minutes.
Needless to say
that when the bombers left so did the people inside as the timers were not very
good in those early days of terrorism.
We took many
precautions back then that may seem very strange to you now.
The first thing
that happened was a back street industry began in the ability to re-tune our
radios to receive not the normal programmes but also the police, Army, and
believe it or not Taxis as if they were sending taxis into an area then it was
usually safe for us to go there too.
Bomb threats
happened as I said daily and it got to the point where it became annoying
having programmes interrupted continually by bomb warnings that were in areas
that you did not actually live in.
Today 40 years
later nothing has really changed at all, as today we still face the terrorist
threat.
Terrorism is the
unlawful use of force or violence by a person or group. The goal is to
intimidate or coerce societies or governments in an effort to promote
political, ideological beliefs or religious beliefs.
These attacks can
take many forms, and could happen at any time in any place. Terrorists
typically exploit vulnerabilities, and may use technology, hazardous materials,
biological agents or other methods to create devastating disruptions to the
community.
Terrorism thrives
on fear. By planning how to respond to a terrorist attack, you can greatly
improve your chances of survival. You can also lessen the impact of the attack
by reducing the fear in the aftermath.
Take precautions when traveling.
Take precautions when traveling.
Do not accept
packages from strangers and do not leave luggage unattended. You should
promptly report unusual behaviour, suspicious or unattended packages, and
strange devices to the police or security personnel.
Learn where
emergency exits are located in buildings you frequent. Plan how to get out in
the event of an emergency. Also, be prepared to do without services you
normally depend on— electricity, telephone, natural gas, petrol pumps, cash
registers, Holes in the wall/ATMS, and Internet access.
Bomb Threat
If you receive a
telephoned bomb threat, you should get as much information as possible. Try
asking the following questions:
When is the bomb
going to explode?
Where is it right
now?
What does it look
like?
What kind of bomb
is it?
What will cause it
to explode?
Did you place the
bomb?
Try to keep the
caller on the line and record everything that is said. Notify the police
immediately. If the threat seems credible, evacuate the building immediately.
During
If a terrorist attack occurs, it is important that you remain calm and follow instructions from local officials and emergency service personnel.
If a terrorist attack occurs, it is important that you remain calm and follow instructions from local officials and emergency service personnel.
You should be aware
of your surroundings and watch for additional attacks.
Listen to local TV
and radio for directions and travel information and instructions from local
officials. If you are in a position where the attack occurs near you, check for
injuries and provide first‐aid. This is a situation when a GHB will be of use
as well as a plan on how you will get home.
In your home
If the disaster
occurs near your home while you are there, check for damage using a
torch/flashlight. Do not light matches or candles or turn on electrical
switches.
Check for fires,
fire hazards and other household hazards. Sniff for gas leaks, starting at the
water heater.
If you smell gas or
suspect a leak, turn off the main gas valve, open windows, and get everyone
outside quickly.
Turn off any other
damaged electrical appliances or equipment.
Confine or secure
your pets.
Call your family
contact—do not use the telephone again unless it is a life‐threatening
emergency. In some cases, mobile phones will not work. Consider other ways of
communicating. Remember in the recent Paris attacks the authorities shut the
mobile networks down to prevent the terrorist talking to each other.
Check on your
neighbours, especially those who are elderly or disabled.
If you see or hear an explosion
Call 999 or 112
Get under a sturdy
table or desk if things are falling around you. When they stop falling, leave
quickly, watching for obviously weakened floors and stairways.
As you exit from
the building, be especially watchful of falling debris.
Leave the building
as quickly as possible. Crawl low to the floor if there is smoke. Do not stop
to retrieve personal possessions or make phone calls.
Do not use the
lifts.
Check for fire and
other hazards.
Once you are out,
do not stand in front of windows, glass doors or other potentially hazardous
areas.
If you are trapped
in debris: Use a torch/flashlight, if possible, to signal your location to
rescuers.
Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can hear where you are.
If possible, use a whistle to signal rescuers.
Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust.
Avoid unnecessary movement so you don’t kick up dust.

If possible, use a whistle to signal rescuers.
Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust.
Avoid unnecessary movement so you don’t kick up dust.
Cover your nose and
mouth with anything you have on hand. (Dense‐weave cotton material can act as a
good filter. Try to breathe through the material.)
Be wary of
suspicious packages and letters. They can contain explosives, chemical or
biological agents.
Be particularly
cautious at your place of work. Some typical characteristics of suspicious
packages may include:
Unexpected or
unfamiliar senders.
No return address
or a return address that can’t be verified as legitimate.
Marked with
restrictive endorsements such as “Personal,” “Confidential,” or “Do not X‐ray.”
Have protruding
wires or aluminium foil, strange odours or stains.
Show a city or
location in the postmark that doesn’t match the return address.
Are of unusual
weight given their size or are lopsided or oddly shaped.
Are marked with
threatening language.
Have inappropriate
or unusual labelling.
Have excessive
postage or packaging material, such as masking tape and string.
Have misspellings
of common words.
Are addressed to
someone no longer with your organization or are otherwise outdated.
Have incorrect
titles or titles without a name.
Are not addressed
to a specific person.
Have hand‐written
or poorly typed addresses.
After a
Terrorist Attack
You can expect heavy police and security involvement at the local, county and even national levels.
You can expect heavy police and security involvement at the local, county and even national levels.
These agencies will
investigate the incident and the location will be treated as a crime scene.
Your workplace or
school may be closed, and there may be restrictions on domestic and
international travel.
You and your family
may have to evacuate the area, as instructed by the police or other safety
personal. You should also expect extensive media coverage and increased police
activity, even if the attack did not occur in your immediate area.
What to do in a
terror attack
If you have not
already done so, then now is a good time to make yourself aware of a few tips
on what to do if you're unfortunate enough to be caught up in a terror attack.
Surviving a
terror attack
If you are involved
or close to a terror incident you must exercise heightened security awareness
and follow the directives of local authorities.
Here are a few safety first tips:
Stay inside your
home, work place or any other accommodation you are in at the time.
Do not go out onto
the streets.
Be alert to local
news developments.
Stick to any
imposed curfews or security restrictions.
Be aware of
conspicuous or unusual behaviour. Unusual behaviour and strange devices should
be reported to the police or security personnel promptly.
If you are in a
building located close to the site of a terrorist attack, stay away from the
windows.
If in the vicinity
of an attack, do not stay to watch what is happening, as you will only get in
the way of the emergency services. There is also a risk that additional attacks
may occur.
Make a mental note
of safe havens, such as police stations and hospitals.
If there's a
bomb blast
Leave the area as
soon as possible
Stay clear of glass
shop fronts.
If you are injured
attend to yourself before others.
Obey all
instructions and orders that are given by local police.
Make your way to a
pre-planned secure area.
If you return to
your home or hotel stay away from the windows.
Listen to
television and radio reports.
Contact family or
friends and let them know your situation.
Write down what you
saw before and after the blast it may help the authorities in their
investigation.
If you are
injured
If you are injured
or become ill please seek medical aid.
Be aware that any
functioning hospitals and clinics may be busy caring for large numbers of
people who have been injured in the incident.
Preparing for
terrorism on holiday abroad
Before visiting a
country where there is a risk of terrorism you should first obtain as much
information on that country as possible.
When you arrive,
stay away from those areas that may have been the target of terrorism in the
past.
Identify the main
tourist areas and stay away from those which appear less secure.
Make yourself aware
of your surroundings. Be aware of the conduct of people near to you.
Stay away from
large gatherings or demonstrations.
Know the telephone
numbers of local police, hospitals and your Embassy.
If you are with
friends identify a rendezvous point to meet should there be an incident.
Prepare a plan to
evacuate should there be an incident.
Know the telephone
numbers of local transport and hire car companies.
What is
happening to me and who do I call?
It is important to
remember that the situation you are in can be extremely stressful.
Call home and your
country's Consulate or Embassy to let them know where you are, if you are
alright and if you need any assistance.

Fukushima and the threat we
still face
The Fukushima nuclear disaster isn’t over,
the radioactive waste is still leaking, and it isn’t just a Japanese problem.
I remember exactly where I was when news of the 2011
Japanese earthquake and tsunami broke in the UK. Sitting on the edge of my
settee, I watched in horror as it became obvious that the nuclear power plant
at Fukushima had been seriously affected.
The fact that someone thought it was a good idea to build a
nuclear power plant on the coast, in an area known to see frequent earthquakes
and tsunamis is mind boggling, but it’s nothing compared to what happened
immediately after the meltdown.
Within days, so-called “nuclear experts” were reassuring the
rest of the world, that while Japan was screwed, we had nothing to fear.
Well, fast forward a year or two, and Fukushima is still a
nuclear disaster. Just days ago, the Japanese government declared a state of
emergency, this time because of a build-up of radioactive groundwater near
the plant.
In July, Tepco (the energy company that operates the
Fukushima plant) admitted for the first time that radioactive groundwater had
breached an underground barrier and been leaking into the sea, but said it was
taking steps to prevent it.
The head of a Nuclear Regulatory Authority task force,
Shinji Kinjo, recently told the Reuters news agency that the countermeasures
were only a temporary solution, however, and groundwater contamination was
imminent.
So let's pause here for a note about water: There is only
one ocean.
All the rivers, streams, and aquifers of the world are
replenished by rain evaporated from that same ocean. It is complete foolishness
to talk about this in terms of 'Japan's water' or 'American water'. It's our
water.
And thanks to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, it's all
contaminated with toxic levels of radiation. That's what makes this next bit
particularly disturbing.
While the government has deemed some areas safe enough for
part-time access, locals and activists say conflicting science and official
secrecy surrounding the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl have bankrupted
public trust.
On Wednesday, just weeks after beaches south of the reactor
were reopened, plant officials admitted that up to 300 tons of contaminated
water are flowing into the sea each day.
The good news is this is less than what was flowing into the
ocean immediately after the disaster.
The bad news is, since its mostly groundwater, the type of
radiation now making its way into our ocean poses even more risk to human and
animal life.
Soil can naturally absorb the cesium in groundwater, but
other radionuclides, such as strontium and tritium, flow more freely through
the soil into the ocean.
Tritium represents the lowest radioactive threat to ocean
life and humans compared with cesium and strontium by comparison, strontium
poses a greater danger because it replaces the calcium in bones and stays for
much longer in the body.
From my point of view the question has to be, is it safe to
eat Pacific Tuna and other seafood from that region?
While it’s natural and appropriate to be concerned about
radiation, in this case the concern is unfounded I feel.
A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences evaluated the health risks of consuming Pacific Bluefin
tuna after the Fukushima event and found the following:
A typical restaurant-sized portion of Pacific Bluefin tuna
(200 grams, or 7 ounces) contains about 5% of the radiation you would
get from eating one uncontaminated banana and absorbing its naturally occurring
radiation.
All foods on the planet contain radiation. Like every other
toxin, it’s the dose of radiation (rather than its simple presence) that
determines whether it’s toxic to humans.
Levels of naturally occurring radioactive isotopes
(polonium-210 and potassium-40) in Bluefin tuna are greater by orders of
magnitude than levels of radioactive isotopes from Fukushima contamination
(cesium-134 and cesium-137).
In fact, levels of polonium-210 were 600 times higher
than cesium. This suggests that the additional radiation (in the form of
cesium) from Fukushima is insignificant from a health perspective.
Even at very high intakes (3/4 of a pound of contaminated
Bluefin tuna a day) for an entire year, you’d still receive only 12% of
the dose of radiation you’re exposed to during one cross-country
flight from LA to New York.
Assuming the very high levels of fish consumption above, the
excess relative risk of fatal cancer would be only 2 additional cases per 10
million similarly exposed people.
And there’s reason to believe that number is no more than
chance. Statistically significant elevations in cancer risk are only observed
at doses of radiation that are 25,000 times higher than what you’d be
exposed to by eating 3/4 of a pound of Bluefin tuna per day.
Some bottom-feeding fish right off the coast of Japan
contain much higher levels of radiation (i.e. >250 times more cesium) than
those found in Pacific Bluefin tuna.
Even if you consumed 1/3 of a pound per day of this highly
contaminated fish, you’d still be below the international dose limit for
radiation exposure from food.
Finally, according to Dr. Robert Emery at the
University Of Texas Health Science Centre at Houston says you’d need to eat 2.5
to 4 tons of tuna in a year to get a dose of cesium-137 that exceeds health
limits. That’s 14 to 22 pounds of tuna a day.
Fukushima proved that we are not safe from nuclear
disasters. It leaked radiation into the environment – the air, the ground, and
the ocean waters – and this impacts our health across the world.
Recent samples taken off the coast of Fukushima found fish
there were “124 times deadlier than the threshold considered safe for human
consumption.”
As ocean waters move the toxins, scientists expect
repercussions to the Pacific Coast and beyond
A study published in the International Journal of Health
Services found that thousands of Americans have already been affected by
radiation drifting to their shores from Fukushima.
Despite what I have said Nuclear energy isn’t safe, it won’t
ever be safe, and what happened at Fukushima is just another reason to get out
of the dirty energy game for good.
I have sent an email to the major UK supermarkets asking
were their tuna comes from, when I receive their reply I will tell you and then
you can make your own informed choice.

Treating Wounds
with Sugar
The information I will give you now is not medical advice,
and should not be considered as such OK.
Any wound, cut or abrasion has the potential of becoming
infected if not treated promptly and effectively. Certain wounds that become
infected can be serious leading to loss of a limb and or possibly loss of life.
For over 4,000 years, medical practitioners have known about
the wound healing properties of sugar.
Now in Europe and in the U.K. in particular doctors, nurses
and others directly responsible for the treatment of wounds and burns are
bringing back this 4,000-year-old treatment.
Trials using patients with wounds have shown that the
ancient treatment works.
The reason sugar works to treat wounds is because sugar
tends to draw water into its midst, through osmosis. This action both dries the
bed of the wound to promote new tissue growth and dehydrates the bacterium that
causes the infections in wounds, leaving the bacteria weak and fragile.
However sugar taken orally will not destroy
bacteria inside the body.
The reason why it works is because sugar is hygroscopic and
functions to dehydrate all bacteria. Bacterium of course requires water to
survive and to multiply. Thus, the lack of water results in bacterial death.
When bacteria die, they cannot reproduce. Therefore,
infection cannot occur if all bacteria are eliminated in and around the wound.
Some studies have concluded that honey mixed with sugar can
enhance the healing. It may be that the viscosity of the honey allows greater
penetration into the wound and allows better contact with the wound. Honey also
has certain anti-bacterial properties according to some experts.
The same theory applies when cooking oil is mixed with sugar
to treat wounds. The oil or honey is mixed with sugar and applied as a salve.
Petroleum jelly can also be applied to the bandage to help keep the sugar in
place.
Puncture wounds are typically left open to
promote healing.
A simple salve of sugar applied to the wound and covered
loosely once it has stopped bleeding has the greatest effect according to most.
Sugar in its granulated form will draw the moisture from the
wound, which kills off the bacteria and prevents further growth.
In a survival situation, sprinkling granulated sugar in a
wound may very well stop or prevent a serious infection. You must have clean
water to irrigate the wound so that fresh sugar can be reapplied.
Depending on the severity of the wound, you would change the
dressing of sugar two to four times daily.
Proper hand sanitation is critical as well as having clean
bandages available. Used cotton bandages can be rinsed well with clean water
and then boiled for 10 minutes or longer to sterilize. The drying and handling
process must be such as to prevent contamination of the bandages.
You can also mix povidone iodine (10 percent solution) with
the sugar creating a paste to apply to the wound. The iodine will kill any
bacteria present in and around the wound and the sugar will help stop any new
growth.
POVIDONE IODINE WARNINGS
Povidone iodine
should be used with caution in: kidney disease.
It should not be used
in: patients with known or suspected sensitivity to iodine, children aged under
2 years or premature babies (depending on brand), and deep wounds. Povidone
iodine should not be used regularly in thyroid disease, or in patients
receiving lithium treatment.
The sugar paste is applied only after the wound has stopped
bleeding and after the wound has been properly irrigated to remove any debris
from the wound.
Putting sugar and/or honey on a bleeding wound may cause it
to bleed even more because they may interfere with the clotting process.
Sutures
People tend to want to suture wounds in a survival situation
before attempting other methods of wound closure or protection. Suturing is
invasive and you should only suture if all other non-invasive methods have
failed, when butterfly bandages or standard plasters will not close the wound
properly for example.
Suture however, when bone can be seen or when you can see
fatty tissue, which is yellow in colour.
Closing a wound that has not been properly cleaned can trap
debris/bacteria in the wound and could prevent the sugar and iodine if used
from making contact with all parts of the wound.
Suturing may be necessary if you do not have the means to
treat the wound or cover the wound to prevent contamination, or the wound
simply refuses to begin the healing process because of the separation of the
tissue.
However, if you do suture the wound you would still want to
apply the sugar and/or other topical antiseptic.
Once again, this is merely an opinion and is
not medical advice. There will always be disagreement on when and how to suture
and on how to treat wounds, so always consult with a medical professional
before beginning any outdoor adventure.
What Is In a Survival Medical Kit for Treating Wounds?
Add granulated sugar to the list of items. Sugar you find in
the shops will work as long as it is pure granulated sugar. The physical
properties of granulated sugar play an important role.
Make sure you have bandages (compression and pressure)
and/or clean material to make bandages. Clean water is critical so you will
need the means to collect and purify a water source.
Topical antiseptics such as povidone iodine should be in the
kit as well.
Have material for a tourniquet in your kit and know how and
when to use one. There are specific times when one is needed.
Constricting or stopping blood flow to a limb can cause
damage to tissue that is irreversible and can cause the loss of limb. Typically,
a tourniquet is applied when there is an amputation of a limb or when there is,
an arterial wound and bleeding cannot be controlled by compression.
Have a suture kit but again know how and when to suture a
wound.
Have thermal blankets for treating shock
Medical Gloves
Razor knife or scalpel that has been protected from
contamination
Over the counter or prescription pain medications
The list is by no means comprehensive. In fact it must be
adapted to suit specific needs.
Sugar will have to be packed so that it does not absorb
moisture from the air and so it is not contaminated with dirt and other debris.
Allowing the sugar to absorb moisture may reduce its effectiveness in treating
wounds.
How much sugar do you pack, this depends. Assume you would
have to treat yourself and anyone with you.
One sugar packet the same kind found on restaurant tables
probably would be considered one treatment if the wound is small. You would
need up to four or more treatments per day, per wound.
Do not forgo professional medical treatment just because you
have sugar on the wound. Seek medical help immediately if available.
This information is for emergency treatment only and the
described treatments will have varying degrees of effectiveness.

Ebola a Threat we Face
Firstly whether not you believe that Ebola is manmade, i.e.
a weaponized virus or a two year old little boy was bitten by a fruit bat, the
fact is that this a deadly virus and in my opinion a great threat to us all.
With that said I still cannot come to terms with western
governments drastically failing to quarantine anyone within the contaminated
areas for at least 21 days “before” being allowed to return to their own
countries.
Surely to prevent its spread this should be the very minimum
in precautions taken, but these health workers seem almost selfish in their
need to want to return back home within the gestation period, knowing full well
and fact better than most people that they themselves could cause the deaths of
their family members, friends, colleagues and yes you and me.
So why do they do this? Well I think this are part of the
plan to create a fear culture that will in time accept the need to have
anti-virus injections on masse for their own protection, (and goodness knows
what else will be in the syringe).
The idea of an “extra” ingredient which would weaken your
immune system if another “modified” virus was to be introduced into the mix is
not that far-fetched, is it? Past history clearly shows this.
I would also like to know why “every” medical person who has
returned with Ebola has been “cured” but nearly 8,000 have been taken by Ebola,
is there a cure for those citizens of countries who can afford it?
Why is there no more Zmapp? If it works and clearly it has.
If you think about it, there is evidence that Ebola was
manufactured at Fort Detrick USA. In fact the US holds the “Patent” on Ebola,
is this the smoking gun?
One way this outbreak could have happened I suggested is by
trying to circumvent the Biological Weapons Convention to which the US
government is a party.
Now it appears that the CDC and several others US
bio-warriors exported Zaire/Ebola to West Africa, to their labs there, where
they were doing bio-warfare work on it. So, I believe this is the origins of
the Zaire/Ebola pandemic we are seeing now in West Africa.
So, as always bio-warriors do use offensive and defensive
bio-warfare work, violating the Biological Weapons Convention. So effectively
they try to offshore it into West Africa where Liberia is not a party and Guinea
is not a party. Sierra Leone is a party. But in Sierra Leone and Liberia there
were disturbances which kept the world from really paying attention of what was
going on in these labs.
I am very curious to know why the west are sending soldiers
to these Ebola affected countries instead of medical staff. Cuba has sent
qualified doctors surely doctors are needed more that military units, soldiers
are not trained to stop the spread of virus’s and as I have said there is no
quarantine for them to enforce.
Could it be that these soldiers are in fact an invasion
force and are being used to collect blood samples from the infected for further
research? I don’t know but something does not add up here.
Now it appears that on Wednesday multiple Iraqi media
sources reported that an Ebola outbreak may be underway among ISIS fighters in
the Iraqi city of Mosul.
Three media outlets, both Iraqi and Kurdish have reported
suspicious infections although there has been no World Health Organization
confirmation.
Faced with the terrorist occupation, verification of the
outbreak is difficult for outside agencies and much of the domestic medical
professionals have fallen victim to the primitive murderers.
WHO director of communications, Christy Feig, said “We have
no official notification from [the Iraqi government] that it is Ebola”.
She added that the WHO is attempting to offer assistance to
the Iraqi government in the investigation of the possible outbreak.
The Kurdish media outlet Xendan reported that the symptoms
of the infected persons are consistent with those of Ebola but it remains
unknown whether or not the capability for testing exists under the current
terrorist invasion.
The official pro-government newspaper al Sabaah cited an
unnamed source inside a Mosul hospital as confirming that the disease was
brought in by terrorists who originated in “several countries” and Africa.
He added, “In this context, the lack of medical
infrastructure, supplies and practitioners in the city suggests that the
outbreak could quickly lead to further infection of both ISIS fighters and
residents of Mosul.”
It would be a simple matter, if an outbreak were to occur,
for infected terrorists to make their way to the United States or other
Western nations, particularly if they hold Western passports or by crossing our
wide-open southern border.
So my fellow preppers it is not over and we may have yet to
deal with Ebola on our terms and it will be up to us to prepare as our
governments will not help us, we can see that be the lack of quarantine in
these infected areas and also by our open borders over which threats are
allowed to pass.
So you are stuck in snow
OK so you have a snow shovel in your vehicle during winter,
you do have one don’t you? Having one can literally mean the difference between
life and death… You should also have a vehicle emergency pack with essential
survival items in case you have to spend the night in your car, or walk
miles home in freezing weather.
Even if you have a snow shovel, if the road is frozen hard,
even after digging out around the wheels, it can still be difficult to gain
traction and get un-stuck.
In this situation there is a way you can get traction and
get moving again. It can also work even if you didn’t have a snow shovel, so
couldn’t dig out first, but only if the snow isn’t too deep.
This tip will only really work on hard surfaces such as
roads, driveways and car parks, but here’s what to do –
If there is snow and you have a snow shovel, dig out as much
snow around the wheels as possible. No snow shovel, then do this!
Take out the floor mats in your car, turn them upside down
and place them in front and underneath the wheels which are spinning, this will
obviously depend on whether your car is front or rear wheel drive.
Jump back in the car and try to drive forward slowly and
steadily. If you escape, be sure to run back and pick up your floor mats.
If your car simply moved over the floor mats and immediately got stuck again,
you can keep repeating the process and inch forward.
THE TWELTH WILDERNESS GATHERING 2015 13th to the 16th
August
The Wilderness Gathering has over the years become a firm
date in the diaries of those who enjoy bushcraft, nature and wilderness
survival skills. The previous ten years have seen this event grow from a small
event in one field with some traders and schools sharing bushcraft skills and
knowledge to a festival of wilderness living skills encompassing
bushcraft/survival and woodland crafts.
The show has grown into an event with something for all the
family with stories and music by the campfire in the evenings and skills
workshops and activities throughout the three whole days of the festival.

these skills are there for everybody and anybody to participate in.
You can probably pick up information on nearly all the
skills needed to live in the wilderness and prosper at The Wilderness
Gathering.
There is a wealth of good quality trade stands that are
carefully selected to be in theme for the show selling everything from custom
knives to tipis and outdoor clothing to primitive tools. The organisers have
even laid on a free service bring and buy stall where you can bring along your
used and unwanted kit and they’ll sell it for you.
There are local scout and explorer groups onsite promoting
the World Wide Scouting Movement as well helping out with some of the classes
and site logistics.
The catering is within the theme of the event with venison
and game featuring on the menus plus organic cakes and drinks. The woodland and
open field camping facilities (with hot showers) giving you the option to visit

Edible Flowers
Roses are a medicinal flower that have been used since
ancient times for their nutritional and healing benefits.
Rose petals are rich in vitamins C, A, D, E & B-complex
and minerals such as zinc, iron, and selenium. Rose petals contain sedative,
antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, and mood enhancing
properties.
They are known to soothe sore throats, nervous tension,
anxiety, headaches, peptic ulcers, hypertension, fluid retention, bronchitis,
urinary tract infections, and heart disease.
Rose petals are also often used for painful menstruation
(dysmenorrhea) and for digestion issues such as flatulence, constipation, and
diarrhoea.
Fresh organic rose petals are a wonderful addition to fruit
salads, green salads, desserts, and a variety of healthy meals.
Rose petal tea is also a soothing and relaxing way to enjoy
its benefits. Simply use 1 teaspoon of dried rose petals to 1 cup of hot water
and allow to steep for at least 10 minutes, sweeten with raw honey if desired.
Rose water can also be made by placing 2-4 cups of rose
petals in a pot and pouring just enough water to cover them, Simmer for about
45 minutes and then allow to cool. Strain and store rose water in the fridge,
it will be good for 7-10 days.
Rose water works as an astringent and as an anti-aging &
beautifying tonic for the face and skin. Rose petals are also an excellent
addition to your bath and can help provide relief for dry, itchy skin, bug
bites, sunburn, acne, and eczema. Make sure to always seek out organic or
unsprayed roses since conventionally grown rose petals often contain harmful
pesticides.
Why Grow Edible Flowers?
Edible flowers are perfect for anyone with an interest in
gardening or food, and are the most versatile plants to have in the garden,
providing a visual and culinary feast. For those of you who need convincing,
just see how edible flowers can benefit your garden…
Make the most of your space
You may be lucky enough to have a large garden or allotment,
but if not then why not grow an edible garden to make the most of the space you
have? Why grow flowers you can only look at? Grow flowers that you can eat as
well!
You only need a small courtyard garden, balcony or
windowsill to enjoy edible flowers. Here is a range of edible flowers which are
suitable for small spaces or window boxes.
Get two crops for the price of one!
Ever had so many runner beans you just do not know what to
do with them? Gone on holiday and come back to find that your radishes have
gone woody and started flowering?
There are many vegetables which can provide you with two
crops, with edible flowers either before or long-after the vegetable is ready
to eat.
The flowers can often be tastier than the vegetable itself,
and make a fantastic addition to any savoury dish. Rocket, radish, squash,
courgette, peas, beans and mustard are just some of the flowering vegetables
you can enjoy.
Grow them anywhere
You are only limited by your imagination…
Enhance your vegetable garden
As well as the benefits of companion planting, brighten up
the look of your vegetables both on the plot and the plate by adding some
beautiful edible flowers.
Happy bees and butterflies
We all know the importance of helping out bees and other
pollinating insects by enriching our environment with beneficial plants so why
not plant edible flowers that they enjoy as well as you?
Natural pest control and companion planting
Many of our edible flowers are perfect for companion
planting. Try planting borage next to your strawberries for even sweeter fruit,
marigolds next to your tomatoes to deter black and greenfly, or try garlic
chives next to your carrots to help ward off carrot roof fly. Use permaculture
to improve your garden.
Easy gardening
For the amateur, or busy, gardener, edible flowers are quick
and easy to grow.
Safe for children
If, like me, you have small children (Grand children in my
case) then you want to be sure that your garden is a safe place to be.
Many common garden plants are poisonous so why not fill your
garden with edible flowers instead? Be assured that if any flowers do get
subjected to a toddler taste test they will come to no harm.
You can also get them to grow the flowers they like and then
allow them to eat them there and then, no preparation etc.
Enjoy edible flowers all year long
By sowing a range of edible flowers you should be able to
have something to harvest all year long. Why not learn ways of preserving them
to enjoy all year round. Add a little bit of summer to winter meals.
Know your flowers are free from pesticides
By growing your own edible flowers you know that they are
free from pesticides and pollutants and are safe for the whole family to eat.
Here are some edible
flowers that need planting this month
Pansies are easy
to grow, they are brightly coloured edible flowers which bloom for much of the
year. The flowers are up to 8cm diameter which, combined with the
distinct colours and mild, sweet flavour, make them popular edible flowers.
Pansies are most commonly used to decorate cakes and
desserts, are ideal for sugaring and beautiful when scattered over salads or
used to garnish sweet and savoury dishes.
Dianthus
‘Parfait’ are a compact and striking dianthus with vivid pink, red and white
coloured flowers. They are perfect for containers and small gardens. Their
eye-catching colours and large petals make them particularly well suited to
decorating cakes and desserts, for adding to salads and crystallising.
The edible petals are mild in flavour making them ideal for adding to a wide
variety of foods.
Polyanthus are
pretty edible flowers in a variety of reds, yellows, pinks and blues. The young
leaves are also edible and can be added to salads or used as a green
vegetable. The edible flowers are commonly used to decorate cakes and
desserts and also to add to salads. They give beautiful results when
crystallised. Polyanthus are a hardy perennial which will provide you
with a colourful carpet of flowers early in the year.
A delicate blue and white viola with a mild sweet, ‘green’ flavour. These violas are
very easy to grow and flower for much of the year. Violas are popular
edible flowers as the whole flower may be eaten. They have a wide range
of culinary uses and are most commonly used to decorate cakes and
desserts. Violas are ideal for sugaring and beautiful when scattered over
salads or used as a garnish to sweet and savoury dishes.

What a Farce
A report reveals how incorrect advice from the Government’s
Science and Technical Advice Cell to Cornwall Council, and a breakdown of
communications with a local team, led to order being given for the wrong
village to be evacuated.
Their eventual advice to Cornwall was severely flawed and
wrong, the report found. They were instructed after the end of the release of
nuclear material that Torpoint should be evacuated and countermeasures
deployed, whereas there had been no such evacuation direction to responders in
Plymouth where the release was occurring.
It noted: Development of the scenario highlighted the need
to have a better aware and trained workforce in Cornwall.
The response at Plymouth council became chaotic after the
National Resilience Extranet, a highly secure government server used to respond
to major emergencies, went off-line, forcing officials to communicate using
their personal email addresses.
Over-enthusiastic staff South Western Ambulance Service
triggered surprise after going beyond the planned exercise and driving a
“casualty” suffering from radioactive contamination to hospital.
“There was a problem with the patient handover as there was
no forward bronze [commander] so the local first aiders decided to carry on to
Hospital, which caused confusion because the Hospital was not expecting any
patient play during the exercise,” the report said. It added, dryly: “It would
not happen during a real life emergency.”
Senior NHS officials, whose role on the day was “assess on
how a nuclear emergency would impact on health services”, complained they were
unable to fulfil this because “there were no plans to include casualties
outside of the dockyard.”
They added that a broadband connection they had paid for was
not available.
The local fire service complained of a “lamentable” lack of
maps and charts, and said they were kept in the dark over the risk posed by the
radioactive cloud, with the dispatching of fire engines “confused”.
The Met Office was tasked with monitoring the wind speed and
direction, in the hope of tracking where the radioactive plume from the
stricken submarine might float.
However, the forecasters were an hour late arriving after
the wrong names were given to the security list on the door – and when they
were given access to the war-room, many did not understand what they were
talking about.
Staff from Devon County Council were left confused by not
knowing “whether the wind was blowing from or to the direction named.”
It became clear during the exercise that not all agencies understood
the conventions used in communicating wind directions. This was also noted in
the media cell – where the term ‘downwind’ was used. There appeared to be a
lack of understanding what this meant in relation to the ‘plume’, the report
said.
Believe it or not a report concluded that the Ministry of
Defence, Whitehall and government scientists tasked with responding to a
nuclear disaster at sea are well-prepared and communicated well. Overall, the
Office for Nuclear Regulation deemed the exercise a success, it said.
Now these officials are planning to use social networking
websites Facebook and Twitter to notify members of the public about an
unfolding nuclear crisis. And if you are not on these sites? Or in fact not
even on the internet at the time, what then?
I have to say that the use of social media is a far cry from
the original four-minute system which was developed during the Cold War, in
which the public would be alerted by air ride sirens, television and radio.
In my opinion the Royal Observer Corps which provided a
fallout monitoring service as well as a basic weather reporting role should
never have been stood down. With the state the world is in today, with so many
dilapidated Nuclear power stations around the world, with the ever present
terrorist nuclear threat I think we have never been so vulnerable.
So there you have it, after decades of having nuclear subs
and decades of training on what if? It has all been a waste of time and money.
Nothing has been learned and there is no cohesion between
the emergency services local government and the public. That my friends is
putting our lives in danger.
My advice to you is prepare, prepare and did I say prepare.
Preppers will be next
My fellow preppers the times are a changing for real.
Governments here and in the US are planning to curtail our liberties in the
name of freedom and security and that we all know is a total con.
If they were bothered about security then our borders would
not be left open to all and sundry to simply walk across.
It they were bothered about freedom then they would not be
forcing GM crops on us, stopping us from growing food or from storing water,
they would not be planning to take our guns away and they would not be snooping
on us at every turn, would they?
I have mentioned on previous shows that it is now illegal in
New Zealand and some US states to grow your own food and to sell it or give it
away or to store rain water.
I also mentioned in last week’s show that the EU is now
planning to make it illegal to store heirloom seeds or grow anything that is
not on their list.
Most of these liberties are openly enjoyed by the general
public, but my friends they are actually aimed at you the prepper and
survivalist to prevent you being able to independently survive.
If a new law is passed here in the UK then anyone who
criticises Sharia law or gay marriage could be branded an “extremist” under
sweeping new powers planned by the Conservatives to combat terrorism.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, unveiled plans last month
for so-called Extremism Disruption Orders, which would allow judges to ban
people deemed extremists from broadcasting, protesting in certain places or
even posting messages on Facebook or Twitter without permission.
Mrs May outlined the proposal in a speech at the Tory party
conference in which she spoke about the threat from the so-called Islamic State
– also known as Isis and Isil – and the Nigerian Islamist movement Boko Haram.
These new orders which will be in the Conservative election
manifesto, would extend to any activities that “justify hatred” against people
on the grounds of religion, sexual orientation, gender or disability.
The obvious problem with this is that Leftists and Islamic
supremacists constantly advance the false claim that opposition to jihad terror
and Islamic supremacism is justifying hatred against people, and the Cameron
government clearly endorses this view. So this law will be used to curtail any
opposition to the advance of Sharia in the UK.
In the US the Government is actively seeking those who
criticize government, specifically Barack Obama, and arresting them without
charging them. They are remanded to mental health institutions where they are
given “training” on how to view the world.
Remind you of a little book that George Orwell wrote?
It gets worse.
Most of the victims of the government’s kidnapping scheme are veterans.
It gets worse.
Most of the victims of the government’s kidnapping scheme are veterans.
In the four years since the start of Operation Vigilant
Eagle, the government has steadily ramped up its campaign to “silence”
dissidents, especially those with military backgrounds.
Coupled with the DHS’ dual reports on Right wing and Left
wing “Extremism,” which broadly define extremists as individuals and groups
“that are mainly anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favour of
state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely,” these
tactics have boded ill for anyone seen as opposing the government.
One particularly troubling mental health label being applied
to veterans and others who challenge the status quo is “oppositional defiance
disorder” (ODD).
The ODD denotes that the person exhibits ‘symptoms’ such as
the questioning of authority, the
refusal to follow directions, stubbornness, the unwillingness to go along with the crowd, and the practice of disobeying or ignoring orders.
Persons may also receive such a label if they are considered
free thinkers, nonconformists, or individuals who are suspicious of large,
centralized government… At one time the accepted protocol among mental health
professionals was to reserve the diagnosis of oppositional defiance disorder
for children or adolescents who exhibited uncontrollable defiance toward their
parents and teachers.”
The case of 26-year-old decorated Marine Brandon Raub—who
was targeted because of his Facebook posts, interrogated by government agents
about his views on government corruption, arrested with no warning.
Labelled mentally ill for subscribing to so-called
“conspiratorial” views about the government, detained against his will in a
psych ward for standing by his views, and isolated from his family, friends and
attorneys—is a prime example of the government’s war on veterans.
So how many of you admit that you too have had such thoughts
about the parasites in our elected houses?
OK we only have ourselves to blame as we voted for them. But
they are now becoming a deadly enemy as they trample over our laws and
constitutions in a mad race to their NOW.
Successive US governments have continuously chipped away at
the provisions of the American Constitution to a point where it in real terms
no longer exists.
Here in the UK a former Prime Minister was either black
mailed because of his alleged paedophile activities or openly conned the UK
into the vile EU government that now passes over 70% of our laws.
Now is the time to practice OPSEC as if they do not know
what we’re doing then there is less chance of them being able to disrupt our
plans.
If your laws allow you to open carry or to concealed carry,
or as it is in the UK carry a non-locking pen knife with a 3” or less cutting
blade then you must exercise this right as if you do not it will be removed
that I can say for sure.
Surely now you can see that our elected government is
following a pre-planned course of oppression against its very only population
and it therefore now more than ever up to us to secure our own future and the
system has no intention of helping us no matter what happens.

The Chap Stick
When you’re selecting what to put into your survival kit or
bug out bag, it’s a good idea to pack items that have multiple uses.
This is one of the best way to be prepared for all types of
situations without taking up more space than necessary.
There are dozens of multi-use items, but I want to look at
the humble Chap Stick
Moisten chapped hands and scrapes. This helps them
heal faster and keeps them protected from the elements.
Stop small cuts from bleeding. Obviously this won’t
work for deep cuts, but it’s great for little cuts for example if you cut
yourself shaving. It will also keep dirt and other things out thereby reducing
the chance of infection.
Protect your skin from the cold. In extremely cold
weather, rub it on exposed skin to help prevent frostbite.
Protect your skin from the sun. Chap Stick can also
be used as sunscreen. It’s not as effective as regular sunscreen, but it will
do as long as you’re not in the sun all day. Just don’t get any in your eyes!
Prevent blisters. If there’s a spot on your skin that
is getting rubbed raw, put some Chap Stick on it to prevent a blister from
forming.
Reduce glare. If you’re in a bright desert or snowy
area, dip Chap Stick in black ashes and rub it under your eyes. This will keep
you from going snow blind.
Use it on kindling. Rub it on cotton balls, lint,
cloth, gauze, or even dried bark to make kindling that burns easily and for a
long time.
Make a candle. Cut a Q-tip in half, rub the cotton
end on the chap stick, then turn it over and stick the other end into the chap
stick and you’ll have a small candle. It won’t burn all evening, but it is a
good temporary candle that will make it a lot easier to get a fire started.
Lubricate your bow drill. The bearing block needs to
be lubricated so the spindle will spin more easily. If nothing else is
available, Chap Stick will do.
Lubricate threads. I’m talking about the ones on
metal twist caps or outdoor light bulbs. This will prevent them from rusting.
Lubricate zips that are stuck. This will make them
easier to move and make them a little more water resistant.
Lubricate tools, screws, and nails. Any tool with
moving parts and friction can benefit from the Chap Stick. Also, if you put it
on screws and nails it will be easier to drill / hammer them into place.
Keep knives from rusting. Now this one I really like
rub it directly onto the blade. Very helpful if you’re on the move and it’s
raining.
Patch holes. If you have any tiny holes in your
poncho or tent, a little chap stick will plug it up.
Protect leather. This is a must for those who have
leather sheaths just rub it all over anything leather such as a sheath or
shoes. This will protect the leather and make it somewhat water proof.
Clean glasses. Rub a dab of Chap Stick all over the
lens then polish with a thin cloth. This will clean the lens and keep them from
fogging up.
Take off a ring. If your hands swell up, rub Chap
Stick on your fingers and the ring will slide right off.
Hide cash. Take off the caps on both ends, clean it
out really well, then roll up some cash and stick it in there. Great way to
hide money.
Make a tiny survival kit. Several little things can
fit into an empty chap stick tube such as pills, a tiny compass, a Q-tip (for
kindling), strike-anywhere matches, steel wire, the tip of a pen for writing, a
hook and fishing line, etc.
BREAK
You are listening to
the UK preppers Radio network on KPRNDB-UK I’m your host Tom Linden
Multi-use Survival Kit
Just as with the Chap-Stick having multiple uses, practicing
this mind set is an excellent way insure that as much of your survival gear as
possible meets the needs of our Bug out Plan.
Multi-purpose survival gear items improve our survival kit
in multiple ways:
Save space
Why bring 3 items when you can use 1 do the same jobs?
Consolidating items to save space will free up room in your Bug out Bag
to carry other useful survival tools or more food and water.
Save weight
There are many dangers in weighing yourself down with
everything plus the kitchen sink, so reducing the number of items you carry
will pay increasing dividends the longer you have to travel.
Increase simplicity/Reduce clutter
Your Bug out partner has just slipped and gashed themselves,
quick get the first aid kit!!!! It’s in there somewhere, under all the
other cool survival supplies that I packed…..just wait a minute….. I just need
to find my torch/flashlight… The more items you pack the harder
it will be to find what you need. Stick to the essentials – Pack less and
improvise more for an efficient survival kit.
Here is a list of the best multi-purpose survival tools
below.
For most purposes, there are a great number of options of
items to consider when building your best survival kit.
Here are some of the best item suggestions I could find for
those of you who do not have the time or inclination to search on their
own based on utility, size, and weight.
However as always, you need to choose the best items for
YOUR survival.
Survival Axe
These come in many sizes and blade types but most of them
will do the jobs of a hatchet (obviously), pry tool, shovel, and wrench.
You should look for any opportunity to remove high weight to
volume ratio items such as steel tools to build the best survival kit, so being
able to leave behind any of these is a good step.
Survival Knife
For me I chose to have a large survival knife like the Chris
Caine Companion for chopping etc. and a small survival knife for skinning,
gutting and finer work like the Chris Caine Survival Knife, So I do not need or
carry an axe but this is my choice, and mine alone.
Survival Whistle
These are generally quite cheap and are cover a lot of the
basics. Some survival whistles combine a compass, dry container with the
whistle and some even have a fire starting flint within.
Multi-tool
Anything with both the words “multi” and “tool” in it is
worth having a look at. There are a great many options for multi-tools –
focus on weight and practicality when looking. Are you going to really
NEED the one with the Allen key and corkscrew? Stick to the basics of a
straight blade, saw, and tin opener and add what few other options you see fit.
Some bonus items that are rarely thought about are a
magnifying glass and USB stick. These come on some multi-tools and can be
used to start fires and store important family records, respectively. But do
not forget the bottle opener.
Tarp
There is so much you can do with a tarp, it is a multi-tool
all in itself. Besides the obvious of keeping gear dry and being used as
a shelter, they can also be used for signalling and be easily turned into a
stretcher to carry the injured and can even be used to collect rain water plus
much, much more.
Plastic Bags
It is good to have a few of these as they have many, many
uses and are very light and small. Plastic bags can be used to carry
water, keep clothes and fire starting kits dry, store food, and organize small
items, and I recommend using zip lock freezer bags because they are resealable.
Duct Tape
Good old duct tape, where would the world be without it?
Duct Tape can be used as an emergency bandage, to secure a splint, to
reinforce or repair waterproofing, as a rope replacement for shelter building,
and taped over sore spots to prevent blisters and of course to secure a
prisoner for example.
Bandana
A bandana can be moistened and tied around the neck to help
keep you cool, be used to filter water, will protect you from the sun, be used
as a bandage, it can be utilized to tie on a splint, or be a replacement
for rope in tasks such as shelter building.
Paracord
I only use the 550lb strong paracord cord as it can be used
to pull a person to safety or used in shelter building, ascending or descending
inclines, as a clothes line, to fasten a splint, or to build a snare.
Sanitary Pads/Tampons
These are often overlooked but are highly versatile. In
addition to its intended use, a sanitary pad can be used as a bandage, it can
be shredded and used as tinder, and it can be used to filter sediment from
water.
YOU’RE Grey Matter
Remember the more you know the less you will have to carry.
Your own brain is the most valuable multi-purpose survival
tool that you have. The “WILL TO SURVIVE” is the best survival tool that
you will ever have. Many, many people have survived dangerous life threatening
situations with just that alone.
Rely on your knowledge before any of these other tools I
have mentioned, will get you out of most sticky situations alive.
