For your barter list, acquire primarily items that are durable, non-perishable, and either in small packages or that are easily divisible. Concentrate on the items that other people are likely to overlook or have in short supply. Some of my favorites are ammunition. [The late] Jeff Cooper referred to it as “ballistic wampum.” WTSHTF, ammo will be worth nearly its weight in silver. Store all of your ammo in military surplus ammo cans (with seals that are still soft) and it will store for decades. Stick to common calibers, get plenty of .22 LR (most high velocity hollow points) plus at least ten boxes of the local favorite deer hunting cartridge, even if you don‟t own a rifle chambered for this cartridge. (Ask your local sporting goods shop about their top selling chamberings). Also buy at least ten boxes of the local police department‟s standard pistol cartridge, again even if you don‟t own a pistol chambered for this cartridge.

Any supplies necessary for operating a home-based business. Some that you might consider are: ammo reloading, well drilling, water pump repair, wind mill construction, leather crafting, small appliance repair, gun repair, locksmithing, bee keeping and honey production, et cetera. Every family should have at least one home-based business (preferably two!) that they can depend on in the event of an economic collapse.

Need: Ladies supplies Ammo of various calibers

Salt (Buy lots of cattle blocks and 1 pound cannisters of iodized table salt.) Two cycle engine oil (for chain saw gas mixing. Gas may still be available after a collapse, but two-cycle oil will probably be like liquid gold!) Gas stabilizer Diesel antibacterial additive

50-pound sacks of lime (for outhouses).

Alcohol for human consumption in small bottles

1 oz. bottles of military rifle bore cleaner and Break Free (or similar) lubricant. Waterproof dufflebags in earth tone colors (whitewater rafting "dry bags").

Thermal socks Semi-waterproof matches (from military rations) Military web gear (lots of folks will suddenly need pistol belts, holsters, magazine pouches, et cetera.)

Pre-1981 pennies (copper metal value at .03)

All nickles since 1946 contain 25% nickel and 75% copper

Hold coins of all denominations, as if and when the paper currency is devalued, coins may be declared as not devalued as it would be too hard to re-issue coins and the amount of coins in the hands of individuals would be believed to be small and of little overall consequence. Pre-1965 silver coins (90% circulated silver coins) sold in $1,000 bags = to 715 to 718 oz of silver (if dimes and quarters) 1-gallon cans of kerosene.

Rolls of olive drab parachute cord. Rolls of olive-drab duct tape.

Spools of monofilament fishing line. Page 3 Barter and Charity List

Rolls of 10 mil "Visqueen", sheet plastic (for replacing windows, isolating airspaces for nuke scenarios, etc.) Strike anywhere matches. (Dip the heads in paraffin to make them waterproof.) Playing cards. Cooking spices. (Do a web search for reasonably priced bulk spices.)

Rope & string Sewing supplies Beeswax, 5 lbs Candle wax and wicking Gold testing kit for dealing with gold.

Gold key for dealing with gold. Rolls of wire, plain Barbed wire, mesh wire, chicken wire, chain link etc Cable, various sizes, and cable clamps

When selecting radios buy only models that will run on 12 volt DC power or rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery packs (that can be recharged from your retreat‟s 12 VDC power system without having to use an inverter.)

As a secondary purchasing goal, buy spare radios of each type if you can afford them. Keep your spares in sealed metal boxes to protect them from EMP. Note, a perfect Farraday cage is a 3 gallon popcorn container made of metal. Top must seal. Electronics inside must not touch the side of the can. Do not ground.

If you live in a far inland region, I recommend buying two or more 12 VDC marine band radios. These frequencies will probably not be monitored in your region, leaving you an essentially private band to use. (But never assume that any two-way radio communications are secure!)

When tailoring this list, consider your neighborhood going for many months without power, extensive use of open flames, and sentries standing picket shifts exposed in the elements. Then consider axes, chainsaws and tractors being wielded by newbies, and a greater likelihood of gunshot wounds. With all of this, add the possibility of no access to doctors or high tech medical diagnostic equipment. Put a strong emphasis on burn treatment first aid supplies. Don‟t overlook do-it-yourself dentistry! (Oil of cloves, temporary filling kit, extraction tools, et cetera.) Buy a full minor surgery outfit (inexpensive Pakistani stainless steel instruments), even if you don‟t know how to use them all yet. You may have to learn, or you will have the opportunity to put them in the hands of someone experienced who needs them.) This is going to be a big list!

Page 167 Plants for Medicinal Purposes

Agrimony Agrimonia eupatoria Agrimony was introduced to the Americas from Europe, where it has had a long history of use dating back to the Romans and ancient Greeks. These cultures, and other Mediteranean peoples, prized Agrimony for an array of medicinal uses, including wound healing, asthma and as a sedative. During the Middle Ages, this unique herb was revered for its supposed magical qualities, and later on preeminent English herbalist Nicolas Culpepper also touted the healing virtues of Agrimony. After introduction to North America, Agrimony gained a reputation for alleviating symptoms of fever with native peoples.

Artichoke Cynara scolymus Though the culinary applications of this bulbous vegetable are well known, Artichoke has enjoyed a long tradition of medicinal use extending back to the early Greek cultures. Even today the healing virtues of Artichoke remain relatively obscure. The strong bitter qualities of artichoke leaf are said to enhance digestion by stimulating the release of bile from the liver, potentially providing a safe and natural remedy to elevated serum cholesterol levels.

Ashwagandha Withania somnifera Ashwagandha is regarded as one of the great rejuvenative herbs of India. According to Ayurveda, the traditional healing system of India, the root of this low-growing shrub is said to be effective for a host of debilitated conditions, including general weakness, impotence, infertility, and others. Ashwaganda is sometimes described as “Indian Ginseng” for the significance of this botanical in Indian pharmacopoeia.

Astragalus Astragalus membranaceus Native to China and Mongolia, Astragalus is revered in Chinese medicine for its reputation as an immune strengthening tonic. It is said to augment the body‟s natural reserves and flow of energy (qi), potentially finding success with a number of deleterious conditions from slow metabolism to general debilitation. Astragalus is rapidly gaining popularity in the West, and is often included in blends with other medicinals to promote recovery in times of stress or illness.

Holy Basil Red & Green Ocimum tenuiflorum Revered in India as a sacred plant, Holy Basil, or Tulsi, is believed to help bring purity and serenity to the heart and mind. The medicinal virtues of Holy Basil are no secret to modern herbalists, who consider it to be a safe but effective adaptogen capable of alleviating stress and strengthening the nervous system. Fast growing with beautiful multicolored leaves, Holy Basil is a welcome addition to the intrepid herbalist‟s garden.

Wood Betony Stachys offcinalis Once widely revered, Wood Betony is once more rising to prominence following a period of relative obscurity over the last few centuries. Both the Greeks, Romans, and later European cultures valued Wood Betony for its mild bitter and astringent qualities. An old Spanish saying 'He has as many virtues as Betony‟, shows the esteem in which Betony was held in centuries past. Wood Betony was said to provide protection from curses, and assist with the exorcism of bad spirits. Today, Wood Betony is sometimes used to relieve headaches, neuralgia, stomach and abdominal problems, bloating, heartburn, and gas.

Borage Borago officinalis

Borage is originally native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean, and has a long and noble history as both and medicinal and herb of lore. Once known as the “herb of courage”, Borage flowers were used to decorate the vestaments of departing crusaders. A wine prepared from Borage is said to bestow courage and fearlessness upon the imbiber, and was often given to soldiers before entering battle. In modern herbalism, Borage is said to be effective against weak or diminished adrenal function, fevers, inflammation, sore and inflamed eyes, colds, bronchitis, chronic catarrh, congestion, pleurisy and fever.

Burdock Aritcum lappa

Burdock has a long history of use as a detoxifying herb, and is said to have a strong affinity for the blood. It is also regarded as a diuretic, flushing excess water from the body. Over the centuries, it has been used as an antidote in cases of acute poisoning, fungal and bacterial infection, and parasites. Common preparations of burdock include decoction, tincture, and food source.

Catnip Nepeta cataria Native to the Old World, and with a record of usage dating back more than 2000 years, Catnip also became a popular medicinal herb of numerous Native American peoples, who found value in the treating cold, flus, pneumonia and colic. A favorite of felines, in whom it elicits a state of euphoria, today Catnip is often used as a bedtime tea for its ability to calm the mind.

Cayenne Capsicum annum Peppers are among the world‟s longest plants, with a history extending back nearly 7000 years. Fossil records indicate that hot peppers have been consumed by humans even longer, nearly 9000 years. Today, Cayennes and other hot peppers are the cornerstone spice of many different cuisines across the globe, and within the last few centuries it has gained much traction in the world of medical herbalism.

The untreated leaves can be added to salads and other dishes and are enjoyed for their slightly bitter quality. Dandelion root is often described as a liver detoxifier thanks to its ability to stimulate bile production. This affinity for the liver and its functioning explain why a host of other health benefits are often ascribed to dandelion root, including: improved digestion and appetite, enhanced mood, and more consistent skin tone.

Widely regarded as one of the safest yet dependable remedies, Milky Oats make a worthy addition to any herbalists medicine cabinet.

Humble and hardy, Plantain is classified as a diuretic, alternative, astringent and vulnerary and is commonly used topically to assist with burns, cuts, scrapes, bites and other mild external injuries. A mainstay of traditional European Herbalism.

Solomon's Seal Polygunatum canaliculatum

Solomon‟s Seal has been utilized in both New and Old World herbalism for centuries, and has been said to have efficacy in treating a wide range of conditions, including indigestion, constipation, broken bones, external scrapes and bruises, inflammation, and general debility. 16th century herbalist John Gerard attributes the name of this botanical to its reputation for quickly „sealing‟ external wounds and even broken bones.

Valerian Valeriana officinalis Popular in the marketplace today for problems relating to anxiety and insomnia, Valerian has been used in Europe for thousands of years. Such properties were recognized by Hippocrates and Galen, and Valerian remained popular following the fall of the Roman Empire. When dried, Valerian root takes on a unique and distinct aroma that is not soon forgotten. Over the centuries, Valerian came to have unusual uses, as in medieval Sweden where new grooms carried Valerian in their wedding clothes to ward off the “envy” of the elves.

Blue Vervain Verbena hastata Blue Vervain has a long history of use across Europe and into North Africa and western Asia. The ancient Druids of Ireland considered Vervain to have supernatural powers and held it in high esteem. Other cultures to have included Blue Vervain in their pharmacopeias included the Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans and British. Later on, Dr. Edward Bach included Vervain in his 38 flower remedies to promote balance of body and mind. Blue Vervain has traditionally been used for a wide range of imbalances, including colds, coughs, flus and more.

Violet Heartsease Viola tricolor

Though largely forgotten in modern herbalism, the use of Violet extends back hundreds of years, if not longer. Such preeminent healers as Hippocrates and Nicolas Culpeper utilized the moist, cool properties of this botanical in their humoral systems of medicine, finding applications for imbalances of the skin and eyes. Over the centuries, some have also used Violet for problems of impaired digestion such as constipation.

Purple coneflower Coneflower is useful Echinacea as a natural purpure antibiotic. Harvesting Echinacea: For medicinal purposes, you'll want to harvest some roots and some flower tops. For best quality, wait until your plants are 3 years old. Harvesting Roots: Using a sharp knife cut off a portion of the root, leaving plenty for the plant to grow on. Cut any pieces larger than 1 inch into smaller pieces to avoid mold growth during the drying process. Wash thoroughly and pat dry. Hang the root pieces or lay them out on screens in a well- ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If the pieces are large it may take several weeks for them to dry. When completely dry, store in a tightly covered glass jar in cool, dark place. Harvesting Flower Top: Using a sharp knife, cut the plant at the point where the first healthy leaves are growing. Lay the tops on a screen or hang them upside down in bundles out of direct sunlight. Make sure they aren't crowded so that air can't circulate around them.When completely dry, the leaves will crumble when touched. Store them in glass jars with tight fitting lids in a cool, dry place. Using Echinacea: Although Echinacea is used to fight many different ailments, it is most commonly used to boost the immune system and fight infection. It can be made into tinctures, salves, syrups, antiseptics, sprays, and many other simple remedies. Echinacea teas: There are two ways to brew an herbal tea: Infusion and Decoction. Use the infusion method when preparing a tea from leaves, flowers or seeds. Decoction is the method of choice for roots. For a pleasant cup of tea, most people prefer an infusion of the flowers. Decoctions are very strong. To make an infusion: Place 1-2 teaspoons of dried herb or 2-4 teaspoons of fresh herb in a teapot. Cover with 1 cup of boiling water and steep for 15-20 minutes. Strain out the herbs and enjoy. To make a decoction: Combine 2 teaspoons of dried root and 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour. Strain out the herb and enjoy. Other known uses for Echinacea: It is often put in combinations with other herbs. It is an excellent infection fighter and is used as a powerful natural antibiotic. It is reported to be specially good in glandular infections and problems and as a good cleanser for glands and the lymphatic system. It is known as one of the best herbs for helping enlargements and weakness of the prostrate gland. It has been used in ear aches, strep Return to List of Lists

Updated 1/20/07 English-Language Shortwave Frequencies Audible In North America By Glenn Hauser Exclusively For C. Crane Company, Inc.

This is a quick-reference list of frequencies from each country which carry some English and which may be heard in North America. Many are easily heard; some are difficult and rarely audible. Shortwave Listening Tips:

In North America listen to Asia and Australia in the morning and listen to Europe at night. No SW frequency operates 24 hours. You may not hear anything unless you are listening at the right time, or you may hear another language, or you may hear some other country sharing the frequency. Many countries are better heard in non-English broadcasts. Explore the dial and you will hear many fascinating things, including exotic music. Some stations only air a few minutes of English; or only in ID announcements (Mexico); or only language lessons (Ecuador). Country of origin is shown. Many of the frequencies are relayed from elsewhere. (In the case of China, all of them shown here are relays.) Do not assume any particular frequency is actually coming directly from the Some major countries no longer broadcast intentionally to North America, such as Australia, Germany, South Africa, UK. Longer frequency lists for these give you more chances to hear something directed elsewhere. More than one station may be involved under some countries, or even outside broadcasts to that country (Liberia, Nigeria, Sudan).

Many of the strongest signals from strictly religious broadcasters in the US and elsewhere are not shown. Return to List of Lists

A Starlight scope (or goggles, or a monocular) literally amplifies low ambient light by up to 100,000 times, turning nighttime darkness into daylight--albeit a green and fuzzy view. Starlight light amplification technology was first developed during the Vietnam War. Late issue Third Generation (also called or “Third Gen” or “Gen 3”) starlight scopes can cost up to $3,500 each. Rebuilt first gen (early 1970s technology scopes can often be had for as little as $500. Russian-made monoculars (with lousy optics) can be had for under $100.

Make sure to specify that that the tube is new or “low hours”, has a high “line pair” count, and minimal scintillation. It is important to buy your Starlight gear from a reputable dealer.

Draw in the property lines and owner names of all of your surrounding neighbor‟s parcels (in pencil) in at least a five mile radius. (Get boundary line and current owner name info from your County Recorder‟s office.) Study and memorize both the terrain and the neighbors‟ names. Make a phone number/e-mail list that corresponds to all of the names marked on the map, plus city and county office contact numbers for quick reference and tack it up right next to the map board. Cover the whole map sheet with a sheet of heavy-duty acetate, so you can mark it up just like a military commander‟s map board.

Gets past the bleach storage problem

Page 239 Water List

Many ourdoorsmen, survivalists, and households preparing for emergency disasters rely upon common household bleach as a disinfecting agent to make water safe to drink.

Bleach will destroy most (but NOT all!) disease causing organisms (boiling water to make it safe to drink is always the best method).

What is not well known is Calcium Hypochlorite is far better for chemically disinfecting water.

Old Way: Using Bleach to Disinfect Water

I cringe to think how many people have expired bleach in their disaster emergency kits that will be used for treating polluted water.

Those of us who have emergency preparedness stocks of survival food and survival gear often keep a gallon or two of unscented household bleach on hand for making safe drinking water in large quantities. Bleach is often the chemical of choice because it is commonly available and frequently mentioned when discussing the how-to‟s of drinking water.

calcium hypochlorite - bleach

Typical fresh household chlorine bleach has about 5.35% chlorine content (be sure to read the label). To use household bleach for disinfecting water:

1. Add two drops of bleach per quart or liter of water.

2. Stir it well.

3. Let the mixture stand for a half hour before drinking.

If the water is cloudy with suspended particles:

First filter the water as best you can.

Double the amount of bleach you add to the water.

Why Using Bleach to Disinfect Contaminated Water is a Problem

Page 240 Water List

A little known problem with long term storage of bleach in your disaster emergency supply cache is that it degrades over time. Consulting a Chlorox bleach representative produced this statement:

“We recommend storing our bleach at room temperatures. It can be stored for about 6 months at temperatures between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. After this time, bleach will be begin to degrade at a rate of 20% each year until totally degraded to salt and water. Storing at temperatures much higher than 70 degrees Fahrenheit could cause the bleach to lose its effectiveness and degrade more rapidly. However, if you require 6% sodium hypochlorite, you should change your supply every 3 months.”

I cringe to think how many people have expired bleach in their disaster emergency kits that will be used for treating polluted water. Even what are considered reliable sources of information such as the EPA and the Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA will show you how to use bleach to disinfect water but will leave out this exceedingly important piece of information.

This is why I created Survival Topics – to give you the real information you need to survive.

So if bleach is unreliable for long term storage in emergency preparedness kits then what other commonly available chemical methods of disinfecting water are there? As it turns out a better solution is easily available.

Use Calcium Hypochlorite for Disinfect Water

A 1-pound pag of calcium hypochlorite in granular form will treat up to 10,000 gallons of drinking water

Calcium hypochlorite is one of the best chemical disinfectants for water, better than household bleach by far. It destroys a variety of disease causing organisms including bacteria, yeast, fungus, spores, and viruses.

Calcium Hypochlorite is widely available for use as swimming pool chlorine tablets or white powder that is much more stable than chlorine. This is often known as “pool shock”.

How to Disinfect Water Using Calcium Hypochlorite Ca(OCl)2

Using granular calcium hypochlorite to disinfect water is a two step process. Ca(OCl)2

1. To make a stock of chlorine solution (do not drink this!) dissolve 1 heaping teaspoon (about one-quarter of an ounce) of high-test (78%) granular calcium hypochlorite for each two gallons (eight liters) of water.

2. To disinfect water, add one part of the chlorine solution to 100 parts water to be treated.

3. Let the mixture sit for at least one-half hour before drinking.

4. Therefore one teaspoon can result in 200 gallons of treated water. (Since there are 128 oz in a gallon, use 1.28 oz of the mixed solution, per gallon of water. )

Another plus for using calcium hypochlorite to disinfect water for emergency use is that a little goes a very long way. A 1-pound pag of calcium hypochlorite in granular form typically costs only a few $US dollars and can be obtained in any swimming pool supply section of your hardware store or online. This amount will treat up to 10,000 gallons of drinking water, which is enough for a family of four for some six or seven years at a gallon per day per person!

Calcium hypochlorite will store for a long period of time and remain effective as a chemical drinking water treatment. So get rid of the household bleach and buy a can of Calcium hypochlorite for your disaster emergency water disinfection needs. It lasts far longer and treats far more water than the traditional chlorine bleach water disinfection treatment.

Many ourdoorsmen, survivalists, and households preparing for emergency disasters rely upon common household bleach as a disinfecting agent to make water safe to drink.

Bleach will destroy most (but NOT all!) disease causing organisms (boiling water to make it safe to drink is always the best method).

What is not well known is Calcium Hypochlorite is far better for chemically disinfecting water.

Old Way: Using Bleach to Disinfect Water

I cringe to think how many people have expired bleach in their disaster emergency kits that will be used for treating polluted water.

Those of us who have emergency preparedness stocks of survival food and survival gear often keep a gallon or two of unscented household bleach on hand for making safe drinking water in large quantities. Bleach is often the chemical of choice because it is commonly available and frequently mentioned when discussing the how-to‟s of drinking water.

Typical fresh household chlorine bleach has about 5.35% chlorine content (be sure to read the label). To use household bleach for disinfecting water:
