Urban Survival Tip: How To Keep Water Fresh For 4 Weeks Refrigeration




When it comes to retaining water during a natural disaster it should be your first priority. If you haven’t done so already start stock piling water. Also stockpile other supplies such as food, first aid supplies along with weapons to defend yourself with if things go from bad to worse.

But if at this very moment an earthquake were to happen there is a way you can immediately begin storing water and a lot of it. If water is still running after a natural disaster fill up all sinks and tubs in your home. You can also obtain water from toilets and hot water heaters but there is a proper procedure in obtaining water from these locations which I won’t get into in today’s post.

With obtaining water from your bath tub you can also purchase a waterBOB Emergency Drinking Water Storage kit with collects up to 100 gallons of fresh drinking water and keeps it fresh for 4 weeks



    Includes siphon pump to allow you to dispense the water as you need it
    Fits every standard bathtub
    Stays within USFBA guidelines
    Keep style packaging sealed in plastic
    Constructed of heavy duty food grade plastic
    Store up to 100 gallons of fresh drinking water
    Keeps water fresh up to 4 weeks


Remember the human body can only go without water for 3 days.

Preception Is Everything In Self Defense



When it comes to law the color of the day is grey. Law is not about right or wrong, it is about loop holes and how well your lawyer can defend your case for you. Keep this in mind on how you represent your views on personal protection for it could bite you in the ass and land you in jail when it comes to protecting yourself and loved ones in a self defense situation.

I am all for one in protecting my loved ones and definitely agree with the signs that are displayed below I just wouldn’t display them on my property.







In reality these are the last signs that I want posted on my property for the simple fact that if I ever use force to protect my family in a self defense situation they could backfire on me. The reason they could back fire is due to the fact that they can possibly make me look pro violent in the eyes of a jury and the courts. They instill the idea of two eyes for an eye mythology that I believe in.


Instead you want signs like these.






 First these are the two signs that most often deter your home in being targeted in the first place. Second even if they don’t they make you look neutral so if the day comes when you have to justify your actions of using force before the courts you don’t look like a hot headed pro violent thug. Instead you are seen as a law abiding citizen who feared for his and his families’ safety and that your actions seemed proportional and justifiable in the circumstances.

Remember self defense is not only about protecting yourself and loved ones physically but also protecting yourself psychologically and legally as well.

There’s no such thing as a dirty fighter only an educated one.

Super Survival Food

Here are the two top survival super foods in my books which have a super long shelf life and can be ordered anywhere. 

The first one is honey which never expires and has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties and also has large amounts of friendly probiotic bacteria 

Order it here

The second is leaves from Moringa Drumstick Tree. This tree can be grown pretty much anywhere so regardless of the climate you live in or if you only have space on a small patio balcony in a condo you can plant this hearty tree there. Apparently the leaves grow quicker than weeds and the tree can grow up to twenty feet in height.

The leaves are rich in protein, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and minerals and also contain vitamins B1, B2, and B3, as well as chromium, copper, fiber, iron, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous, and zinc.   
•2 times the protein of yogurt
•7 times the vitamin C of oranges
•3 times the potassium of bananas
•4 times the vitamin A of carrots
•4 times the calcium of milk

The seeds remove from more mature pods and can be eaten like peas or roasted like nuts. No wonder people call this a miracle tree. This is perfect for a survival situation and getting the nutrients that you need for your body to function properly especially during high stress situations. Planting instructions are simple and easy to follow as well.
