The California wildfires may easily get out of hand. How prepared are you if that happens? Plan ahead and keep the family safe with our wildfire preparedness kit and checklist below!

How to Build Your Wildfire Preparedness Kit

Fleeing a wildfire can be a terrifying experience, and you don’t want to wait until the last minute to get ready for evacuation. In fact, you may want to evacuate before being told to do so by authorities, if you feel that your property is threatened or if you have pets or livestock that will make evacuation difficult.

Be methodical in your preparation and packing, and place everything that you’ll need in arm’s reach so that you’re not scrambling at the last minute. Print out our wildfire preparedness checklist and follow each line item so that you don’t forget anything important.

Your Bug Out Bag

You’ll want to pack a Bug Out Bag for each member of your family and keep it by the front door. Plan to be away from your home for a while when you pack it.

• Face masks or coverings
• A 3-day supply of non-perishable food and water for each person
• Physical map marked with at least two evacuation routes
• Prescriptions medications and a basic first aid kit
• Clothing
• Eyeglasses and/or contact lenses
• Your extra set of car keys
• Cash & credit cards
• Flashlight, Headlamp if you have one
• Battery-powered radio with extra batteries
• Toiletries: toilet paper, wipes, hand sanitizer, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap
• Copies of important documents, including birth certificates, passports, and insurance policies
• Pet food and water
• Small valuables you don’t want to leave behind, such as wedding rings
• Photos and other items that cannot be replaced
• Personal computer information on hard drives and disks, your laptop
• Chargers for cell phones, laptops, etc.
• A list of emergency contact numbers

Whenever you leave the house, bring your Bug Out Bag with you, just in case you will not be able to return home to pick it up. It is also a good idea to keep a cooler on wheels accessible to you. You can quickly fill it up with food and drinks as you’re leaving.

Evacuation Checklist

Before you leave your home, you’ll want to put in a little effort to come back to a liveable space if you’re able to do so. There are steps to take both inside and outside of your house. You’ll also want to contact your insurance agent immediately, since they may cover your lodging and other evacuation expenses.

1. Inside Your House

• Have your Bug Out Bag ready to go.
• Keep a Bug Out Bag of learning materials for your children so you can reestablish structure for them.
• Have a family plan prepared ahead of time, and communicate it with your family prior to evacuation.
• Know your community’s emergency response plan, and know your own plan on where to go when it is time to evacuate. Have multiple routes ready for leaving your location.
• Shut all windows and doors, leaving them unlocked. Wrap your A/C units to help reduce smoke damage.
• Remove all flammable window shades and curtains.
• Close metal shutters.
• Move flammable furniture to the center of the room, away from windows and doors.
• Shut off gas at the meter and turn off the pilot lights.
• Leave your lights on so firefighters can see your house under smoky conditions.
• Shut off the air conditioning.
• Walk through your home and take a video, talking through everything you have, including in drawers and closets.
• Throw away everything in the fridge and freezer that you’re not taking with you, and take the trash outside. Your power will likely be turned off, and this way you won’t return to the stench.
• Keep pets inside and close by so that you can evacuate them quickly.

2. Outside Your House

• Fill up the gas tank of your car to at least ¾ full and maintain that level until all fires are extinguished.
• Gather up flammable items from outside the house and bring them inside (patio furniture, children’s toys, doormats, trash cans, etc.) or put them in your pool.
• Turn off propane tanks.
• Move propane BBQ appliances away from home and any other buildings.
• Connect hoses to outside water valves or spigots for use by firefighters. Fill water buckets and place them around the house.
• Don’t leave sprinklers on or water running, as they can affect critical water pressure.
• Leave exterior lights on so your home is visible to firefighters.
• Put your Bug Out Bag in your vehicle.
• Keep your car windows and doors shut, and keep the keys in your pocket at all times.
• Place a ladder at the corner of the house for firefighters to use to access your roof.
• Seal attic and ground vents with plywood or commercial seals.
• Continue to monitor the situation. Don’t wait for an evacuation order if you feel threatened. Leaving early will also help to keep you out of traffic.
• If you have livestock, keep them nearby and evacuate early with them.

Be Prepared with a Wildfire Preparedness Kit and Checklist

Don’t return to your home until it has been determined that it is safe to do so. When you do get home, don’t sweep or blow the ash, as it can create toxins in the air. Instead, wet the ash with a hose or wet towel. Be sure to replace all of the filters in your home and car.

Stay as calm as you can, and begin your preparations early so that you’re not scrambling at the last minute.

How are you preparing for the wildfires right now? We’d love to hear some tips from you in the comments section!

While out in the woods, it would be nice to be able to make bushcraft chairs for your own comfort by just using materials from your surroundings. Here’s how you can do that.

How to DIY Bushcraft Chairs

It’s hard to discount a good chair at the camp. The crackle and pop of a fire at the end of a long day of hiking is like magic. To watch straying sparks, spit up in the air and disappear into the darkness above is something that puts us in touch with people who have long past but were responsible for us getting this far.

If you can have this experience in a nice comfortable chair that you built from the forest around you, well, now you are just adding levels of awesome.

There are essentially two kinds of chairs that you can fashion from the world around you. Well, you also have limitless options because of the simple tweaks and ingenuity that you can apply to basic techniques like square lashing.

We are going to focus on two designs that are easy to make and highly effective. They both built on a couple of techniques. You are going to need to have lashing and knot skills and if you can make a simple tripod that will help.

1. The Two V All Wood Bushcraft Chair

For this chair, you are going to need some tools

• A good knife or woodsman’s axe
• A folding saw
• A roll of Bankline or paracord
• A strong tarp with grommets
• Square lashing techniques

Of course, a simple chair made from harvested wood is the pride and joy of a bushcrafter. We want to be able to take our woodsman’s axe, a small amount of cordage, and create a chair from it.

• Begin by finding a couple of sturdy and strong branches. These should be at least 6 inches in diameter.
• Depending on the weight you plan on seating in that chair they might even need to be thicker. You will need 5 of these that are at least 5 feet long.
• Lash two of these together at the point where the two meets to create a V.
• Be thorough with this lashing as it will decide the strength of your chair.
• Once you have two Vs you are ready to source 5 or so branches that are a little smaller in diameter but to about 2 – 2 ½ feet long. These will become the seat of your chair.
• To assemble the chair, you are going to lay one V down on the ground and then use the other V pointing upward and standing upright.
• The standing V is used to straddle the V that is laying and then you can lift the legs of the V on the floor up a bit and angle the standing V backwards a few degrees.

The bottom V becomes your seat and the standing V becomes the back of your chair. Now they can be lashed together with cordage and adjusted before tightening the lashing down. Now you can lash your smaller cuts of wood to the seat portion. To add stability, use your 5th pole to support the back of the seat. You can lash this to the point of each V in the chair’s design.

Or

You can affix this to the V on the back of the chair and then drive the other end of the stick into the ground.

Many people also affix a small tarp to the back of the chair as a means of adding support to the chair. Depending on how you like to sit you will want this tarp tighter for more support or loose for less support. There will be limits to how much weight your tarp and chair can handle so be careful using this chair at first.

This is also a great chair design for kids.

2. The Tripod and Tarp Chair

For this tripod chair, you are going to need some tools

• A good knife or woodsman’s axe
• Folding saw
• A roll of Bankline or paracord
• A strong tarp with grommets
• Tripod lashing technique

A less complicated chair can be made by simply building a large, sturdy tripod. You will have to understand the basics of tripod lashing, and then find three 5-6-foot poles that can be used to create this.

• Once you have your tall, sturdy tripod, you are going to find another branch, stick, pole, that is about 4 feet long. Lash this between two of the sticks on your tripod, horizontally.
• Then you can wrap a tarp several times on this stick and pull that tarp tightly towards the top of your tripod and then affix that to your top lashing.
• You now have a type of hammock style tripod seat that is wonderfully comfortable.

Live Comfortably in the Wilderness

Whether you are hiking, hunting or out for a bushcraft adventure, having a sturdy seat after a long day makes a big difference. Both are great designs and easy to execute, even if you have basic skills with your bushcraft knife or woodsman’s axe.

When you think about your perfectly crafted bushcraft camp, what are the things that you see? Maybe a tripod over the fire with a chain hanging, a simple A-frame shelter and a square lashed bed to top with a sleeping pad and a sleeping bag.

Add to that camp a set of bushcraft chairs and you will be living large in the wilderness!

Have you ever tried making your own bushcraft chairs? Let us know how it went in the comments section!

If you could go back to 1950, would you do it?  There would be no Internet, no cellphones and you would only be able to watch television in black and white.  But even though they lacked many of our modern conveniences, people genuinely seemed to be much happier back then.  Families actually ate dinner together, neighbors knew and cared about one another, and being an “American” truly meant something.  Today, we like to think that we are so much more “advanced” than they were back then, but the truth is that our society is in the process of falling apart all around us.  Could it be possible that we could learn some important lessons by looking back at how Americans lived 70 years ago?

Of course there has never been any era in our history when everything has been perfect.  But without a doubt, things are vastly different today than they were back in 1950…

In 1950, Texaco Star Theatre, The Lone Ranger and Hopalong Cassidy were some of the most popular shows that Americans watched on television.

In 2020, a Netflix film entitled “Cuties” is so trashy and so disgusting that four states have sent a letter to Netflix asking for it to be removed because it is “fodder for those with criminal imaginations, serving to normalize the view that children are sexual beings.”

In 1950, television networks would not even show husbands and wives in bed together.

In 2020, “adult websites” get more traffic than Netflix, Amazon and Twitter combined.

In 1950, people would greet one another as they walked down the street.

In 2020, Americans are too enamored with their cellphones to be bothered with actual human contact.

In 1950, gum chewing and talking in class were some of the major disciplinary problems in our schools.

In 2020, kids are literally gunning down police officers in the streets.

In 1950, people would make an effort to dress up and look nice when they would go out in public.

In 2020, most of the population has become utter slobs and “People of Walmart” has become one of our most popular memes.

In 1950, the typical woman got married for the first time at age 20 and the typical man got married for the first time at age 22.

In 2020, the typical woman gets married for the first time at age 27 and the typical man gets married for the first time at age 29.

In 1950, a lot of people would leave their homes and their vehicles unlocked because crime rates were so low.

In 2020, many that live in urban areas are deathly afraid of all the civil unrest that has erupted, and gun sales have soared to all-time record highs.

In 1950, Americans actually attempted to parent their children.

In 2020, we pump our kids full of mind-altering drugs and we let our televisions and our video games raise our children.

In 1950, Baltimore was one of the most beautiful and most prosperous cities on the entire planet.

In 2020, Baltimore regularly makes headlines because of all the murders that are constantly occurring.  Of course the exact same thing could be said about many of our other major cities.

In 1950, 78 percent of all households in America contained a married couple.

In 2020, that figure has fallen below 50 percent.

In 1950, about 5 percent of all babies in the United States were born to unmarried parents.

In 2020, about 40 percent of all babies in the United States will be born to unmarried parents.

In 1950, new churches were regularly being opened all over the United States.

In 2020, it is being projected that 1 out of every 5 churches in the U.S. “could be forced to shut their doors in the next 18 months”, and the mayor of Lubbock, Texas just said that opening a new Planned Parenthood clinic is like starting a church.

In 1950, we actually had high standards for our elected officials, and people actually did research on the candidates before they cast their votes.

In 2020, more than 4,000 people in one county in New Hampshire voted for a “transsexual Satanic anarchist” in the Republican primary, and she is now the Republican nominee for sheriff in Cheshire County.

In 1950, children would go outside and play when they got home from school.

In 2020, our parks and our playgrounds are virtually empty and we have the highest childhood obesity rate in the industrialized world.

In 1950, front porches were community gathering areas, and people would regularly have their neighbors over for dinner.

In 2020, many of us don’t know our neighbors at all, and the average American watches more than five hours of television a day.

In 1950, Americans used words such as “knucklehead”, “moxie” and “jalopy”.

In 2020, new terms such as “nomophobia”, “peoplekind” and “social distancing” have been introduced into the English language.

In 1950, the very first credit card was issued in the United States.

In 2020, Americans owe more than 930 billion dollars on their credit cards.

In 1950, one income could support an entire middle class household.

In 2020, tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs and filed for unemployment, and more than half of all households in some of our largest cities are currently facing “serious financial problems”.

In 1950, the American people believed that the free market should govern the economy.

In 2020, most Americans seem to believe that the government in Washington and the Federal Reserve must endlessly “manage” the economy.

In 1950, “socialists” and “communists” were considered to be our greatest national enemies.

In 2020, most of our politicians in Washington have eagerly embraced socialist and communist policy goals.

In 1950, the U.S. Constitution was deeply loved and highly revered.

In 2020, anyone that actually admits to being a “constitutionalist” is considered to be a potential domestic terrorist.

In 1950, the United States loaned more money to the rest of the world than anybody else.

In 2020, the United States owes more money to the rest of the world than anybody else.

In 1950, the total U.S. national debt reached the 257 billion dollar mark for the first time in our history.

In 2020, we added 864 billion dollars to the national debt in the month of June alone.  In other words, we added over three times more to the national debt in that one month than the total amount of debt that had been accumulated from the founding of our nation all the way to 1950.

In 1950, most Americans were generally happy with their lives.

In 2020, the suicide rate is at an all-time record high, and it has been rising every single year since 2007.

Many may COMPLETELY HATE today’s content, but that’s because it’s BREAKTHROUGH NOTES about how the world’s best investors have missed out on the world’s most profitable companies of the PAST TWO DECADES. Since they sound very bearish and are warning about a bubble, they’ve become popular, but are they WRONG, nonetheless?

Technology is advancing SO QUICKLY that value investing as the art of buying companies trading at reasonable multiples of CURRENT EARNINGS is mostly a thing of the past. Today, the name of the game is DEEP THOUGHT into the future.

The generation of Warren Buffett obsessed about competitive advantages, which can ENDURE FOR DECADES, but today’s new companies can disrupt existing ways of delivering a product or servicing a customer in a matter of years, not decades. In 20 years, Amazon killed retail shopping. Netflix did away with video and I can give you COUNTLESS OTHER examples.

Changes are rapid and YOU MUST realize that there’s a NEW WAY of looking at companies, which is much more profitable than being TRAPPED INTO “VALUE.”

As you can see, the algorithms aren’t ALL-IN and there are trillions in cash around the world.

The reason stocks are moving up is because businesses, using A.I., robotics and technologies, IN GENERAL, are creating so much wealth that the world is advancing SUPER-FAST.

The thing is that it’s really CONFUSING to traditional investors, since they’ve never encountered, IN THEIR CAREERS, so much revolutionary progress in one generation.

For example, I tried to watch a movie from the 1990’s yesterday and had to stop it AFTER FIVE MINUTES. It’s almost like you’re viewing a movie that has NO CREDIBILITY, since so much has happened in 30 years that the movie looks like it was made by first-graders.

If you’re sitting IN CASH MOSTLY, scared to the bone about the national debt, the outrageous social division and all of the other “problems” the human race is attempting to surmount, you’ll MISS OUT on millions of dollars in the next few years.

We’re in the most technologically-advanced times the human race has ever seen!

Yes, the retail investors are GOING TO GET CREAMED, but there’s a trend beneath their crazy behavior; the UNDERLYING EVENT is a technological BREAKTHROUGH AGE!

Don’t wait.

Get into the game of understanding TECH INNOVATION; millions will be made.

Gold is currently trading for JUST UNDER $2,000/ounce and Wall Street firms have issued PRICE TARGETS of $2,500 and $3,000. But I want to also present the INVERSE CASE since it’s important to understand that (1) commodities don’t go up in a straight line and that (2) NO ONE knows what the future holds.

We’re not predicting gold crashing, but we are DEFINITELY raising the point that gold is enjoying its best year since 2010 and that silver has SURGED BY 150% since March!

Therefore, my goal today is to ENSURE that you’re aware of the roadblocks ahead since gold might test the $1,900/ounce mark and silver may CRASH BY $2 or $3 in AN INSTANT before they both eventually RAISE HELL and hit new highs!

The best way to hedge this is to have cash LINED UP in case commodity prices fall so that one could buy more ounces, while he takes profits on miners now, BOOKING GAINS.

As you can see, REAL YIELDS might have bottomed and, IF THAT’S THE CASE, gold and silver might have peaked for the time being (2-4 months).

There are TWO SURPRISES that can tilt the odds back in precious metals’ favor, THOUGH: (A) the upcoming elections and (B) INFLATION overshooting.

You can position for both of these AT THE SAME TIME, thus creating proper diversification in your portfolio.

The way to do that is to HAVE EXPOSURE to the comeback stocks, the dominators in the industries that Covid-19 has disrupted most.

The reason for this is that if these sectors go back to normal, gold’s USE-CASE as a chaos hedge is diminished, but SILVER’S ROLE as an industrial metal is heightened!

We are about to release our CORONAVIRUS VICTIM COMEBACK Watchlist and if it’s as good as our previous three watchlists, HUGE RETURNS are in store.

There’s a boatload of LIQUID CASH on the sidelines, so just understand that with 300 out of the 500 companies on the index DOWN IN 2020, it is the index that is overvalued, but not the components of it. Basically, 10 companies have pulled it up, while 300 are holding it back.

Another reason we anticipate SURPRISE INFLATION is the boom in residential real estate. If REAL RATES have bottomed, many mortgage applicants will begin TO RUSH into the market, anticipating higher interest payments in the YEARS AHEAD.

That’s money-multiplier velocity, which is REALLY GOOD for commodities as well.

As you can see above, while millennials have pounded prices up for TSLA shares and other “story” companies, the professionally-managed funds are NOT BULLISH yet, so we like real estate right now.

Lastly, I want to address the topic of CORRECTIONS and PULLBACKS.

Yesterday, I put Virtual Reality goggles on and simulated an F-16 flight, which included throttling ALL THE WAY forward and then BRAKING HARD a couple of seconds afterward, in order to INCREASE RESULTS.

That’s what I believe is happening right now; every pullback shows you where SUPPORT IS.

Getting shaken out is easy; staying LONG is hard.

We’re in a bull market for equities, real estate, precious metals, and Bitcoin; CASH IS TRASH!

 

The post SCRATCHING TIRES: Why Gold COULD TANK! first appeared on SHTF Plan – When It Hits The Fan, Don't Say We Didn't Warn You.

After everything else we have been through in 2020, now here comes Hurricane Sally.  It is the seventh hurricane of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, and it could end up being the most destructive.  On Monday it strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane with 100 mph winds, and we are being told that it could potentially become a Category 3 storm before it finally makes landfall.  But the wind speed is not what makes this storm potentially so dangerous.  Hurricane Sally is expected to slow down significantly as it approaches the Gulf Coast, and we are now being told that some areas could see up to two feet of rain.  That could mean “life-threatening flooding”, especially if this storm directly hits New Orleans.

We all remember what happened when Hurricane Katrina hit the city of New Orleans in September 2005.  Since that time, we have not seen a hurricane directly hit the city of New Orleans during the month of September, and this is something that I have been tracking every year.

At this hour, we still don’t know where Hurricane Sally will make landfall.  It is heading toward New Orleans, but some forecasters expect it to make a very sharp turn to the north right before it gets there.

But what if it doesn’t?

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina was a Category 3 storm when it finally reached New Orleans, and it is anticipated that Hurricane Sally will be a Category 2 or a Category 3 storm when it ultimately makes landfall.  In fact, weather.com says that “additional strengthening is anticipated” in the hours ahead…

Hurricane Sally has rapidly intensified and additional strengthening is anticipated as it tracks toward the northern Gulf Coast, where it will bring an extremely dangerous storm surge, flooding rainfall and damaging winds early this week. Sally will also pose a threat of flooding rainfall farther inland across parts of the Southeast.

So if Hurricane Sally is already a Category 2 storm right now, it would seem likely that it would reach Category 3 at some point.

But what makes this storm so unique is that it is supposed to move extremely slowly once it reaches the Gulf Coast, and that could mean “up to 48 hours of storm surge and rainfall”…

Sally’s outer bands should begin to reach the Gulf Coast Monday morning with significant progress inland not expected until Wednesday morning.

This likely allows for up to 48 hours of storm surge and rainfall which could be a very dangerous situation.

If the hardest hit areas are not densely populated, the overall damage may not be that dramatic.

But if this storm were to hover over the New Orleans area for about 48 hours, we would be talking about the potential for an absolutely massive catastrophe.

So it all depends on where this storm ultimately goes.

Of course many of us didn’t even realize until recently that a threat was looming, because this storm only became a tropical depression a few days ago…

In less than 24 hours, Sally went from being a mass of showers and thunderstorms east of the Bahamas on Friday afternoon and to a tropical depression on Friday evening, before becoming a tropical storm on Saturday afternoon.

And I think that Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards put it very well when he said that Hurricane Sally “seemed to come out of nowhere”…

“I know for a lot of people, this storm seemed to come out of nowhere,” Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said. “We need everybody to pay attention to this storm. Let’s take this one seriously.”

In 2005, it was the unprecedented flooding that made Hurricane Katrina so horrific, and this storm has the potential to create a similar sort of a disaster.

In the worst hit portions of Louisiana, Hurricane Katrina dumped up to 15 inches of rain, but Hurricane Sally could possibly dump up to 2 feet of rain in some areas…

As it lurches over the Gulf Coast, Hurricane Sally could bring 8 to 16 inches of rain, and some areas could see up to two feet. “Life-threatening flash flooding is possible. In addition, this rainfall will likely lead to widespread minor to isolated major flooding on area rivers,” forecasters at the Hurricane Center said.

So should we be concerned?

You better believe it.

In fact, Governor Edwards is openly warning that New Orleans could definitely be facing tremendous flooding once again…

“New Orleans is better prepared for a hurricane than she’s ever been before, but if you get 18 inches of water in 10 hours, I think Aspen, Colorado, would probably flood. So I’m concerned, but not paralyzed by it,” Edwards said.

And this comes at a time when much of Louisiana is still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Laura.  More than 80,000 people are still without power, and more than 200,000 households still do not have clean drinking water.

So this is a really bad time for another major storm to be coming along, and because of how slowly it is moving it is likely that Hurricane Sally will be far more destructive than Hurricane Laura was.

But let us hope that a worst case scenario can be avoided.  If it makes a sharp turn to the north soon, that will probably mean that New Orleans will be spared.

Unfortunately, time is running out, and as I write this article this storm is still heading toward a date with destiny.

Here in 2020, it has just been one thing after another, and now the major disasters are happening so frequently that they are starting to overlap one another.  Yesterday I wrote about the historic wildfires that are absolutely ravaging the west coast, and now today I am writing about how New Orleans is potentially facing the worst disaster that they have seen since Hurricane Katrina.

And this is just the beginning.  As “the perfect storm” continues to intensify, things are going to get even worse.

Unfortunately, most Americans are still completely clueless about all of this.

Most people still think that everything will return to “normal” very soon, but that simply is not going to happen.
