Communication HAM Radio
FREE HAM Radio Class at BYU!
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/10/KG-UV3D2_lrg.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4005" title="KG-UV3D2_lrg" src="/images/uploads/2011/10/KG-UV3D2_lrg-281x300.jpg" alt="" width="281" height="300" /></a>Having a HAM radio is essential to communicate in any kind of a disaster scenario! But, having one and not being able to legally practice because you aren't licensed is pretty useless because you'll have no idea how to use it. If you haven't got your license yet, it's time to get off the couch and get going! It's very easy to pass the test, if you pay attention in the class you're pretty much guaranteed to pass. With the class being free, all you've got to do is go spend a morning at BYU to get it. The license itself is $14.00 and you'll still have to pay that.

At the Self Reliance Expo today, I spent the day with <a href="http://doomandbloom.net/">Dr. Bones of the Doom and Bloom Show</a> and he just happened to be selling suture kits for a great price! I showed him my post on suturing a scalp and he loved it, then he agreed to let us offer all of you his suture kits for his show price of $20.00!

We spent the day there today (Friday) and met a ton of new people and had a really great time. There are lots of vendors, several of them have some very unique and cool products - Jayce, Neybar and I all ended up buying a couple cool things that we suddenly realized we really needed! :) We worked on getting group buys and deals set up for all of you with some of these cool products - look for those soon!

Suturing a scalp
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/10/IMG_1125.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3974" title="IMG_1125" src="/images/uploads/2011/10/IMG_1125-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>Suturing is an important skill to have. Knowing how to properly sew somebody shut isn't something you need every day, but when you need it - you need it! Sure, right now we can just run to the doctor, but what if you're way in the outback or things have collapsed and good medical care isn't easily available. Suturing allows you to quickly close up a wound to help stop bleeding, help prevent infection and to lower the risk of damaging a wound while trying to get to better care - if needed. There are plenty of ways and places to get training in suturing without going through medical school. It's easy to do once you learn, you just need to look around and find a class you can take.

That's all fine and good for now, but what are we going to do if we have to hunt for survival and can't just drop the animal off at the butcher? I've done it myself before and I'm sure I could do it again without any real problems, but if you're hunting for survival the last thing you want to do is ruin your meat by doing something stupid!

Backyard Chickens
<img alt="" src="http://www.motherearthnews.com/uploadedImages/Blogs/The_Happy_Homesteader/GardenEggs1.jpg?n=7491" title="Backyard Chickens" class="alignright" width="500" height="350" />Over the past year, I have noticed an increased interest in raising chickens arising all over the nation. Locally, <a href="http://www.ksl.com" title="KSL">KSL</a> has published several articles recently about this phenomenon (see below) as has the <a href="http://online.wsj.com" title="Wall Street Journal">Wall Street Journal</a> (also below) and most prepper blogs. My family started keeping backyard chickens about four years ago and have had some good success. In this article we’ll summarize some of the benefits to raising chickens, what you’ll need to get started and some links to resources to help you out once you’ve got your flock.
