In a crisis where you have no access to rainwater or any open body of water, knowing how to collect dew water from the surroundings can spell the difference between survival and dehydration. Every survivalist should know how to gather dew.

Full Guide How Survivalists Can Collect Dew Water in the Wild

Step 1: Find a Clean Collection Area

The first thing you need to ensure is the cleanliness and portability of the dew you’re collecting. Dehydration is bad, but drinking contaminated water isn’t any better.

As a general rule, avoid collecting dew from grass that is:

• Near the road or highway. Random patches of grass near busy roads such as expressways and highways are loaded with excess fumes, chipped gravel, and tar—all of which are poisonous to c0nsume.
• Treated with harmful chemicals and pesticides. Steer clear of any patch of grass or lawn that has recently been treated with chemicals and pesticides.
• Filled with animal excrements. Avoid areas with too many animals. There’s a high chance that these types of fields contain traces of feces and urine.
• Near poisonous plants. Poison oak, poison ivy, tobacco, poison sumac, and castor bean are just some of the poisonous plants you should never collect dew from.

If possible, only collect dew from private, untreated fields or secluded grassy areas in the woods.

Step 2: Collect the Dew

Now, it’s time to collect the dew. Wipe the grass with a piece of cloth, then wring out the collected dew in a clean, sanitized cup or tub once the cloth becomes soaked and heavy.

You can use a clean shirt, sock, or rag to collect the dew. Although, opt for chamois cloth if you have it on you because it absorbs exponentially more water than other pieces of cloth do.

Step 3: Filter the Water

If you used a clean piece of cloth to collect dew from a 100% untreated field, then transferred the dew straight to a sanitized cup, you can try drinking the dew water as is. However, this might not be the case in most survival situations.

If you’re going through a tough situation where you only have dew to rely on for your drinking water, then there’s a good chance you’re short on other resources as well. You might not even have a choice on where to collect dew from—much less a clean piece of cloth to collect water vapor with.

In cases like these, opt to distill or filter your water first before consumption. It’s a simple process that would only take a few minutes but drastically reduce the risk of getting infected from contaminated water.

First, filter the dew water. Pass the collected dew water through a clean piece of cloth. Keep filtering until you separate all the visible debris and contaminants.

Next, boil the water. A quick way to kill and inactivate all kinds of harmful viruses and bacteria in your dew water—or any type of water—is to expose them to high heat. Boiling them for at least a minute should be more than enough. Finally, let the water cool down, then enjoy.

Step 4: Store Extra Water

A young, healthy survivalist with good stamina and excellent dexterity should be able to collect a gallon of water in around 30 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, the filtering and disinfection would take another 10 to 15 minutes. All in all, it’s safe to assume that gathering one gallon of clean, filtered dew water would consume at least one hour of your day.

This process might be easy to repeat daily. However, there’s no assurance that dew will be available for collection every single day during the crisis period.

The best approach here is to collect as much water as you can once dew becomes available. That way, you won’t have to wait for rain, locate an open body of water, or let dew accumulate just to get access to potable water.

During this process, however, make sure to use a clean container. Whether you’re collecting rainwater or scooping buckets of water from a stream, keeping your drinking water inside an unsanitized, unclean container is never a good idea.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have a large container with you, opt to carry around a clean piece of cloth and some fire-starting tools such as a bow drill instead. If you can’t store potable water, at least make it easy to collect and disinfect water,

Bonus: Disinfecting Water With Bleach

Don’t have the tools necessary to start a fire or boil water? Opt to disinfect water with regular chlorine bleach. This is a disinfection method the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises to those suffering from natural calamities that cause water interruptions like a flood or hurricane.

First, transfer the water to a clean cup and assess how dirty it is. Try filtering out some of the visible debris and contaminants using a clean piece of cloth.

Next, add in the bleach. Ideally, you should mix eight drops of 6% bleach or six drops of 8.25% bleach per one gallon of water. You can opt to add more drops if the water is too cloudy.

Stir the mixture, then let everything settle for at least 30 minutes. By this point, your drinking water should be emitting a slight chlorine scent, this is normal. In fact, consider adding a few more drops of bleach if your water doesn’t smell like chlorine.

Lastly, do a quick taste test. Don’t continue drinking if the water tastes too muddy and cloudy or if the chlorine stench is too strong.

Important: Only use unscented chlorine bleach. Color-safe or scented bleach options contain extra chemicals that may cause complications when ingested.

Check out this video by Military.com where they share a simple way to collect dew water for drinking purposes:



Water is one of the most important resources one needs to survive. In fact, studies show that symptoms of fatal dehydration start to appear after just three days of not drinking water, while survivalists with access to sufficient potable water can go up to two months without consuming food.

Also, while dew water harvesting definitely gives you the upper hand in a crisis situation, bear in mind that dew won’t always be present. To increase your chances of survival, learn other ways to acquire potable water.

It is starting to happen again.  Do you remember how “panic buying” caused a massive shortage of toilet paper and other basic essentials during the early days of the COVID pandemic last year?  Well, shortages are back, but this time around different factors are at play.  We are being told that the shortages should just be temporary, and that is good news.  But this is yet another example that shows how exceedingly vulnerable global supply chains have become in this day and age.  If another major global crisis were to suddenly strike, we could quickly be facing long-term shortages of certain items that would be quite severe.  So hopefully this short-term toilet paper shortage will be a wake up call for all of us.  The following comes from Yahoo News…

Who can forget last year’s empty store shelves and pandemic panic shopping, right? Cleaning products, hand sanitizer and toilet paper were all but impossible to find, and only recently have name-brand disinfectant wipes and sprays begun showing up in stores again,

Well, brace yourself, because another product shortage is looming — and yes, it may very well become tough to find toilet paper again.

This new toilet paper shortage is not being caused by “panic buying”.  Instead, two factors have combined to create serious delays in getting products from overseas…

For six days, Egypt’s Suez Canal was blocked by a giant cargo vessel that got stuck and held up hundreds of other ships on a route that handles about 12% of world trade. The Ever Given — about as long as the Empire State Building is tall — was finally freed Monday, but analysts say it could take more than a week to clear the backup.

Meanwhile, a shortage of shipping containers also is causing problems in the cargo transport industry. Many of the factories that build the giant metal boxes are in China — and a number of them shut down in the early days of the COVID crisis, cutting supplies short.

Needless to say, it won’t just be toilet paper that is affected.

Even now, you are probably noticing empty shelves at some of your favorite retail outlets, and that will probably continue to be the case for quite some time.

Meanwhile, prices on many of our favorite consumer products are going to be rising substantially.  For example, even though we are being told that the current toilet paper shortages will just be “temporary”, the price increases that are coming will not be…

The maker of the Cottonelle, Scott and Viva brands announced Wednesday that it will hike prices on “a majority of its North America consumer products business,” including toilet paper and baby care items.

Kimberly-Clark Corporation blamed rising commodity costs for the increases.

In response to the COVID pandemic, governments all over the globe have been creating, borrowing and spending money like there is no tomorrow.

As a result, commodity prices have shot through the roof, and companies are starting to pass those price increases along to consumers.

Our politicians always seem to think that “more money” is the solution, but their reckless policies are starting to cause some very serious long-term problems.  Here in the United States, we have now seen the money supply grow at an insane pace for 11 months in a row…

In February, money supply growth hit yet another all-time high. February’s surge in money-supply growth makes February the eleventh month in a row of remarkably high growth, and came in the wake of unprecedented quantitative easing, central bank asset purchases, and various stimulus packages.

During February 2021, year-over-year (YOY) growth in the money supply was at 39.1 percent. That’s up slightly from January’s rate of 38.7 percent, and up from the February 2020 rate of 7.3 percent. Historically this is a very large surge in growth, year over year. It is also quite a reversal from the trend that only just ended in August of 2019 when growth rates were nearly bottoming out around 2 percent.

We are on a hyperinflationary path, and everyone knows that this story is not going to end well.

One area where we are already seeing tremendous inflation is in home prices…

House prices rose by 11.2% from a year ago, the biggest increase since the peak of Housing Bubble 1 in 2006, according to today’s National Case-Shiller Home Price Index for January.

The index is a good measure of “house-price inflation” because it’s based on the “sales pairs” method, comparing the sales price of a house in the current month to the price of the same house when it sold previously, thereby tracking the amount of dollars it takes to buy the same house over time.

But that number doesn’t tell the entire story.

Home prices are actually going down in some core urban areas, and they are escalating dramatically in desirable rural and suburban communities around the nation.  This is something that I discussed in my previous article entitled “We Have Never Seen A Home Buying Frenzy Quite Like This”.

Those at the very top of the economic pyramid are gobbling up homes at a feverish pace, but meanwhile an increasing number of Americans are no longer able to afford homes at all.  Homelessness and poverty are absolutely exploding all over the country, and things are particularly bad on the west coast.

In Seattle, tents have taken over sidewalks and parks all over the city.  If you drive through the heart of Seattle, you will literally see homeless encampments everywhere that you go…

Fox News analyst Lawrence Jones spoke with Seattle residents about the homeless crisis and encampments taking over their neighborhood parks.

When asked how the presence of homeless tents and encampments in her neighborhood made her feel, one Seattle resident told Jones that it made her feel “sad” and “depressed.”

In one residential area of Seattle, tents filled parks and sports fields where young children would typically play.

I would like to tell you that this homelessness crisis is just temporary, but I can’t.

Unfortunately, the truth is that economic conditions in America will eventually get a whole lot worse.

The short-term toilet paper shortages that we are facing now are an inconvenience, but the truth is that they aren’t even worth comparing to the problems that we will be facing down the road.

So stock up and get prepared while you still can, because things aren’t going to be getting any easier as we roll into a very uncertain future.

Any experienced survivalist knows that a Ferro rod is the survival gear you never step into the outdoors without. Here is everything you need to know about this invincible survival tool.

RELATED: Do You Have A Ferro Rod In Your Survival Kit? Here Are 9 Reasons You Should!

The A to Z of the Ferro Rod

What Is a Ferro Rod

A Ferro rod is a fire-starting tool. Besides its use as a survival gear by outdoorsmen and women, it is also used as an ignition source for lighters or a striker for cutting torches and gas welding.

What Are Ferro Rods Made Of

Ferro rods are made from ferrocerium, a synthetic alloy that emits hot sparks when rapidly oxidized through striking it. The hot sparks can burn as hot as 3,000 °C.

How Does a Ferro Rod Work

The rod breaks into fragments through rapid striking using either a striker, knife spines, glass shards, or a flint. The exposed fragments are then oxidized by the oxygen in the air, which results in fire sparks.
The sparks then light your tinder which results in an even bigger fire.

RELATED: A Complete Guide To Campfire Cooking

How Long Do Ferro Rods Lastr

Ferro rods will typically have a lifespan of 8000 to 12000 strikes. It will, however, depend on several factors, including frequency of use, rod diameter, user skills, and the hardness or softness of the rod.

For instance, a Ferro rod with a smaller diameter and a softer alloy will last shorter than one with a large diameter, harder alloy and used by an experienced person.

Why Are Ferro Rods Handy for Survival

Here is why every outdoors person should own and carry a Ferro rod:

• Size: Ferrocerium rods come in small sizes that make them convenient additions to your survival pack, not to mention their lightweight.
• Hotter sparks: Compared to other fire-starting methods that you can consider, Ferro rods are the most reliable in a survival situation. Besides producing sparks that burn up to 3,000 °C, the rods do not gel up or fail to work when wet. What’s more, unlike flints that do not produce many sparks without a steel rod, you can strike your Ferro rod with any dense material and have a fire in no time.
• Easy to use: It is unlikely that you will be as strong as you usually are, in a survival situation. The rods are therefore efficient because even without much strength or practice, anyone can start a fire.
• Multipurpose: Besides starting fires, you can also use Ferro rods to emit bright sparks for backup signaling. They work as well as a small flare or firecrackers.

What to Consider to Prolong the Lifespan of a Ferrocerium Rod

Being such a crucial survival tool, you need to increase your chances of getting the best one. Here are factors to consider:

• Size: the diameter of ferrocerium rods is directly proportional to their lifespan. Most of them come in diameters ranging from 3/16 to ½ inch and corresponding lengths.
• Skill level: Inexperience in using a Ferro rod translates to too many strikes and ultimately chopping off way too much material to start a fire. This is contrary to an experienced user who can start a fire with a strike or two and far less chipping.
  Also, using Ferro rods when practicing means that the rods will have a shorter lifespan by the time you start using them for a real survival situation.
• Corrosion: Since they are made from synthetic alloy, Ferro rods are prone to rust like most other tools. Therefore, the more exposed to water or sweat they are, the more likely they are to rust, which certainly reduces their lifespan.

Note: A smaller size means it is convenient to carry. The decision is therefore determined by what is more important to you.

How to Use a Ferro Rod

Firstly, gather your tinder. It could be anything from a small amount of dry grass, barks, twigs, or even cotton. It will help to get the driest material available.

Next, pile your tinder, leaving enough room for air circulation at the bottom and throughout the pile. It ensures that there is enough oxygen to oxidize the Ferro rod fragments when they hit the tinder.

Now, hold your Ferro rod against or underneath the pile. With the striker held at 45 degrees, forcefully and rapidly drag it along the rod’s length.

Doing this will produce hot sparks, and your best chance is to ensure that most if not all of them go into the tinder. It helps the fire manifest faster.

Now, you will notice smoke coming from the pile. At this point, stop striking the rod, bend over and begin blowing into the tinder. This will grow the hot sparks into a fire.

Once the fire is stable, start pilling on larger sticks and logs. Add as much as you need to keep warm or cook or until you have a roaring fire.

There you have it, fellow survivalist. Surviving the outdoors requires the most effective and convenient gear one can find, and ferrocerium rods are exactly that. With a little practice, you can trust yourself to start a fire anywhere.

The post 12 Winter Vehicle Preps You Should Have for Survival Preparation appeared first on Survival Cache.

A couple decades ago, the U.S. military was an unparalleled fighting machine.  Both Russia and China seemed hopelessly behind, and nobody dared to challenge America’s military superiority.  Everyone else was battling for second place in the pecking order, and they knew it.  But since that time, Russia and China have engaged in extremely aggressive modernization programs, while the U.S. military has chosen to focus on becoming more “diverse” and “inclusive”.  As a result, the balance of power has changed dramatically.

In this article, I would like to focus on a few examples that demonstrate the shift that has taken place.

For instance, the Russians are extremely excited about their new ultra-quiet Borei-class submarines that can rain death and destruction down upon their enemies from thousands of miles away…

Each of the submarine’s sixteen R-30 Bulava (“Mace”) missiles typically carries six 150-kiloton nuclear warheads designed to split apart to hit separate targets. This means one Borei can rain seventy-two nuclear warheads ten times more destructive than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima on cities and military bases over 5,800 miles away.

The Borei is the most advanced SSBN in the Russian Navy, and is designed to replace its seven Soviet-era Delta-class SSBNs.

In China, scientists have been feverishly working to develop fearsome biologically-enhanced “super soldiers” that could potentially be far superior to standard western soldiers in a future war…

U.S. intelligence shows that China has conducted “human testing” on members of the People’s Liberation Army in hope of developing soldiers with “biologically enhanced capabilities,” the top U.S. intelligence official said Friday.

John Ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence, included the explosive claim in a long Wall Street Journal op-ed in which he made the case that China poses the pre-eminent national security threat to the U.S.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden says that the U.S. military is “making good progress” on feminist issues.  Some of the current priorities include “creating maternity flight suits” and loosening hairstyle requirements…

You know, some of — some of it is relatively straightforward work where we’re making good progress designing body armor that fits women properly; tailoring combat uniforms for women; creating maternity flight suits; updating — updating requirements for their hairstyles.

Of course any of the old-timers that dare to object to the new “woke military” are being purged, and so soon their won’t be any dissenting voices standing in the way of the social justice reforms that the Biden administration wishes to implement.

Over in Russia, “diversity” is not a military priority.  Instead, they are getting ready to introduce the new Sarmat intercontinental nuclear missiles into service.  These new missiles can travel at speeds of up to 15,000 mph, and a single missile has enough firepower to “wipe out Texas”…

RUSSIA is poised to test an “unstoppable” 15,000 mph nuclear missile it boasts can beat any defense and wipe out Texas.

The RS-28 Sarmat doomsday rocket is now primed to replace the much-feared R-36 – once dubbed the “Satan” nuke by Nato.

The Kremlin brags it has a range of around 6,200 miles, can carry 16 warheads and is able to dodge any missile defense system.

At the same time, the Chinese are rapidly developing highly advanced missile delivery systems that look just like “standard international shipping containers”…

This missile would be a land-attack variant of an advanced anti-ship missile that would be deployed in launchers appearing to be standard international shipping containers from the outside. Such containers are being used all around the world for moving millions of tons of goods, and are often placed on the deck of large freighters.

The YJ-18C is China’s version of the Club-K cruise missile built by Russia that also uses a launcher disguised as a shipping container. Israel also is working on a container-launched missile called the Lora. Rick Fisher, a China military affairs expert, said he is not surprised China is copying the Russian Club container-launched missile. “It fits with China’s penchant for seeking asymmetric advantages against its enemies,” he said.

Of course the U.S. military is modernizing as well.

In fact, it has been reported that U.S. strategic nuclear forces are no longer using 8-inch floppy disks from the 1970s…

In 2014, “60 Minutes” made famous the 8-inch floppy disks used by one antiquated Air Force computer system that, in a crisis, could receive an order from the president to launch nuclear missiles from silos across the United States.

But no more. At long last, that system, the Strategic Automated Command and Control System or SACCS, has dumped the floppy disk, moving to a “highly secure solid state digital storage solution” this past June, said Lt. Col. Jason Rossi, commander of the Air Force’s 595th Strategic Communications Squadron.

That is exciting news.

What is next?  Will they finally get rid of all of their old rotary phones?

Meanwhile, President Biden is making it exceedingly clear that the U.S. military will have a culture of “inclusiveness” from this point forward…

That’s why we moved so quickly to overturn the discriminary — discriminatory ban on transgender service, and why General Austin’s first memo was a directive to take sexual assault in the military seriously.

Every single person, no matter their gender identity, sexual orientation, race, or religious background, deserves to feel safe in the ranks and to have their contributions valued.

I could go on and on with more examples, but I think that most of you get the point.

The U.S. military is being transformed into an institution of social change, and at the same time Russia and China are tightly focused on trying to figure out how to fight and win World War III.

When it comes time to fight a real war, do you think that we will actually win?

Just because the U.S. military was overwhelmingly dominant at one time, that does not mean that it is still that way today or that it will be that way in the future.

One of the only things that is constant about our world is change, and right now the U.S. military is definitely changing in the wrong direction.

The post Let’s Compare The U.S. Military To The Russian Military And The Chinese Military… first appeared on End Of The American Dream.

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.

At this hour, more Russian military forces are massed near Ukraine’s borders than we have ever seen before.  Western military leaders say that they are concerned that the troop movements that we have witnessed in recent days may be leading up to an invasion, and if an invasion does happen it will greatly test the resolve of the Biden administration, EU leaders, and NATO brass.

In particular, the hawks in the Biden administration would almost certainly not be willing to just sit back and let the Russians conquer all of Ukraine.  There would likely be a major response by the United States, and that could set off a chain reaction that could ultimately spark World War 3.

So what made the Russians suddenly move a massive invasion force toward Ukraine?

Well, it turns out that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky essentially signed a declaration of war against Russia on March 24th.  The document that he signed is known as Decree No. 117/2021, and you won’t read anything about it in the corporate media.

I really had to dig to find Decree No. 117/2021, but eventually, I found it.  I took several of the paragraphs at the beginning of the document and I ran them through Google translate…

In accordance with Article 107 of the Constitution of Ukraine, I decree:

1. To put into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine of March 11, 2021 “On the Strategy of deoccupation and reintegration of the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol” (attached).

2. To approve the Strategy of deoccupation and reintegration of the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol (attached).

3. Control over the implementation of the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, enacted by this Decree, shall be vested in the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

4. This Decree shall enter into force on the day of its publication.

President of Ukraine V.ZELENSKY

March 24, 2021

Basically, this decree makes it the official policy of the government of Ukraine to retake Crimea from Russia.

Of course, the Russians will never hand over Crimea willingly because they consider it to be Russian territory, and so Ukraine would have to take it by force.

This is essentially a declaration of war against Russia, and Zelensky would have never signed such a document without the approval of the Biden administration.

Following the signing of Decree No. 117/2021, we started to see Russian forces pour into Crimea and into separatist-held areas of eastern Ukraine at a staggering rate.

In addition, it is being reported that the 56th Guards Air Assault Brigade is on the move, and that is not a good sign at all.

For those who don’t know, this isn’t the brigade you want to see on the move.

The Russians are taking Zelensky’s declaration of war very seriously, but the corporate media in the western world is blaming “Russian aggression” for the increase in tensions in the region.

But the truth is that the Russians never would have made any of these moves if warmongers in the Biden administration had not given Zelensky the green light to sign Decree No. 117/2021.

And what most people in the western world don’t know is that fighting has already begun in Ukraine.  The ceasefire that was agreed to in July 2020 has been violated hundreds of times over the past week…

The OSCE’s civilian Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine has reported hundreds of cease-fire violations in recent days. On March 26, four Ukrainian soldiers were killed and two others injured in the eastern part of the country.

The Ukrainian military said its soldiers were hit by a mortar attack it blamed on Russian troops. Russia denies having a military presence in eastern Ukraine, where it backs separatist forces.

At this point, the ceasefire of July 2020 is completely dead.

In response to the renewed fighting, U.S. European Command “has raised its alert status to the highest level”…

U.S. European Command has raised its alert status to the highest level after fighting resumed between Russian-backed separatists and Ukrainian soldiers in the Donetsk Region of eastern Ukraine, marking the end of a June 2020 ceasefire, and Russian forces began building up military equipment along the border.

And we just learned that the chairman of the joint chiefs actually had a telephone call with his counterpart in Russia on Wednesday to address the escalating situation…

In a statement on Facebook on Wednesday, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that at the initiative of the U.S., chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Mark Milley, had a telephone conversation with his counterpart. “Issues of mutual interest were discussed,” the statement said.

In the days ahead, the corporate media in the western world is going to continue talking about “Russian aggression”, and the Russians are going to continue to blame Zelensky and the Biden administration for the rise of tensions in the region.

Ultimately, we could spend countless hours debating who is in the right and who is in the wrong.

But what really matters is keeping this from escalating into a global conflict.  Because if someone does something really stupid and the Russians feel a need to send their invasion force into Ukraine, there will be no going back ever.

I have been warning about a future conflict between the United States and Russia for a very long time, and we have never been closer than we are right now.

With Trump in the White House, relations with Russia were relatively stable, but now Joe Biden is in charge.

Biden is a hothead that is showing signs of advanced cognitive decline, and he is surrounded by a team of warmongers that are determined to put Russian President Vladimir Putin in his place.

The inmates are running the asylum, and it won’t take much of a mistake at all for things to go horribly, horribly wrong.
