My friends often ask me which is the best water distiller when they are looking to provide their families with the safest possible water to drink. It's a fair question seeing as though there are hundreds of distillers and filtration systems out there.

The Cult of Consumerism and the Coming Depression
There is a global economic meltdown in progress that shows no sign of letting up. There is no light at the end of the tunnel! Millions have lost their jobs in the U.S. and all around the world, mostly because of corporate greed and life styles that have been unrestrained and out of control for decades. Americans wrote the book on excess as long ago as the post-world war II era, and we have carried the rest of the world, [quite willingly] down the rabbit-hole of the "me" philosophy. We have gone through recession before, always knowing that the end would come in months or, at the most, a year or two, but that was then, and this is now, and now is a bad time, indeed for the economic outlook of the...

The Importance of Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors are nifty little devices that tell you that there is smoke in the air. The most obvious practical application would be to warn anyone of a fire. These devices are tuned such that they will not go off with cigarette smoke or smoke from cooking under normal circumstances. When smoke levels reach a certain threshold though, smoke alarms will go off. It could be a local alarm that produces a strong sound to warn those in the vicinity, or a silent alarm that sends a signal to a centralized warning system. Whatever the case may be, they have saved many lives as a result of the warning that they give. Now you might be wondering just how helpful are these things? For the best illustration of...

Is There a Walkie Talkie in Your Survival Kit?
We all can remember those times in our youthful days when we would have an inexpensive set of walkie talkies and try to speak back and forth with a friend several houses down the street. If you notice I said try for most of the time the walkie talkies that we had available were scarcely sufficient to get from one room to another in our home. This provided a very nasty taste in my mouth towards these electronic devices for many years afterwards. Today it is not uncommon to find that the cost has decreased on these communication devices while the effective range has been drastically extended. With all the positive information that has been floating around concerning the current two way radios I...
Wheat Grinders - Types, Prices, Usage, Recommendations

I am determined to accumulate a healthy-sized food storage and wheat is going to play a big role in that. I am also a fan of the mantra "store what you eat and eat what you store". Thus it quickly became apparent to me that I needed to do some heavy duty research in order to uncover all the mysteries surrounding "wheat grinders" or "grain mills" as they are officially called. With the help of internet research, some hands on research at several neighbors' houses, and multiple failed attempts in the kitchen, I have come up with a pretty good summary of what you need to know.

How to Cook and Eat MRE Meals

However, more and more, they have been adopted by civilians as a great food resource for emergency disaster situations. For a trained soldier, preparing and eating from an MRE pouch might be a no-brainer, but for the ordinary person, it might prove to be challenging. An MRE package is one complete meal for an individual. When you first open up the package, open it up like a bag of chips and don't rip it up along the sides. You can use the bag for disposal purposes later. In your package, you can expect it to include a main entrée, a side dish, a dessert...

They are often used for the hydronic heating system and are evenly distributed through the pipes located in the home. From here, heat is radiated throughout the rooms. Newer homes usually have a steel radiator while older homes will have radiators made from cast iron. New homes are also known to use baseboard convectors or objects called a fin-tube. The radiator works when the hot water heats the baseboard fin-tube convertor. Once this occurs, the hot water is then returned back to its original location (the boiler). The water...

The people in industrialized nations such as this one take the purity of our water for granted, often ignoring published and aired reports of the growing levels of chemical and biological contaminants in drinking water. What they are ignoring is the fact that the rivers and lakes that are our primary sources of drinking water have become so contaminated that even many of the fish that live in them carry high levels of toxins. Decades of dumping pollutants into our waterways without thought of the possible consequences have left us with a water supply that is not fit to drink from. For most healthy individuals, the contaminants in our drinking water don't' pose any sort of immediate threat. It takes...
Are All Under Sink Water Filters Effective in Protecting Your Health?
Under sink water filters range in price from less than $150 to over $350. They vary in effectiveness as well, but the effectiveness is not related to the price. If you're like most people, you are willing to pay more in order to get more. If a product is bigger or better in some way, you understand why it costs more.

Analyzing Our Drinking Water
As a brief personal story, I can tell you that I'd never even considered analyzing my drinking water at home until one of my next-door neighbors told me one day that he had tested his water using a home water-analysis kit and had found there to be lead in his water! The at-home lead test that my wife and I bought was cheap and easy to use. And sure enough, we found lead in our water. It made sense: our home and our neighbor's house had both been built by the same contractor about thirty years ago, and we both had the same kinds of pipes which caused the presence of lead. It was scary at first to realize that we were drinking liquid lead, especially when we read on the Internet that lead in drinking...

Radiation therapy, often used to help stop the growth and spread of cancerous cells, is perhaps the most widely used form of radiation. There are two forms of therapy using this fairly new science: external and internal radiation. External radiation is simply using large machines to aim specific...
