Earthquake Family Preparedness
Post Japan Earthquake Notes
I'm posting in an email that was forwarded to me, second hand from the source. The email is from a lady who's family is currently stationed in Japan, and relates their experiences with the earthquake. What I like best in this is her own analysis on her preparedness level, and what she wishes she could do better.

Hypothermia - Signs and Symptoms and Treatment
<img src="file:///C:/Users/Phil/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/Users/Phil/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.png" alt="" /><a href="/images/uploads/2011/02/hypothermia.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3429" title="hypothermia" src="/images/uploads/2011/02/hypothermia.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="199" /></a>With more than half the country being inundated by massive snow and ice storms and much of the rest of the country having below freezing temperatures, people are at a very high risk for Hypothermia. Knowing what Hypothermia is and how to treat it not only prepares you to help yourself but most importantly, to help others. I've consulted several resources to try to put together a very comprehensive overview of Hypothermia. Those resources include the<a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hypothermia/DS00333"> Mayo Clinic</a>, my EMT Training Manuals, the<a href="http://www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/winter/pdf/cold_guide.pdf"> CDC Guidelines for Hypothermia</a> and the <a href="http://www.hypothermia.org/Hypothermia_Ed_pdf/Alaska-Cold-Injuries.pdf">State of Alaska Cold Injuries Guidelines </a>(Alaska knows more about Hypothermia than anybody, their standards are what we use here for Search and Rescue).<!--more-->

Family Preparedness Fire
Making Fire Starting Candles
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/01/EggTinder.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3368" title="EggTinder" src="/images/uploads/2011/01/EggTinder-194x300.jpg" alt="" width="194" height="300" /></a>Continuing my series on Light and Heat, today I'm going to talk about making Fire Starting Candles. There are a variety of ways to do this, today we're going to cover using cardboard egg cartons and dryer lint or cotton balls. This particular project will likely already be familiar to experienced Preppers and Boy Scouts. This post is aimed at those new to prepping who have never been exposed to this kind of thing.

Making Tallow Candles
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/01/TallowCandle.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3342" title="TallowCandle" src="/images/uploads/2011/01/TallowCandle-300x252.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="252" /></a>One of the things that frustrates me in Preparedness is that many of the texts and resources out there don't adequately cover "Pioneer Skills". That is to say, they present material lists and instructions that include things that are only available via modern-day manufacturing methods. Often times what I'm looking for is how do I make something out of nothing - nothing being the great abundance that nature provides us with! This is very true when it comes to activities like candle, cheese and soap making. I want to know how to do it in a true collapse or long term survival scenario.<!--more-->
