Establishing Your Emergency Retreat Getaway: The Planning Stages And What To Look For

Searching for an emergency retreat getaway that will become your sanctuary should natural or social disaster hit, is one of the most important aspects of prepping — and is not a decision to be taken lightly.

There are many things to consider when locating the perfect emergency retreat, and careful advanced planning could mean the difference between life and death. Access to water, food, storage space, community, and the ability to defend yourself and your shelter are all essential components of an emergency retreat.

 A variety of factors must be dealt with before the SHTF. It goes without saying that that the majority of your gear should be stored at your emergency shelter in case you have to leave home quickly with just your family and bugout bags, so everything you need to survive for possibly a long period of time should be purchased and prepared for in advance.

That being said, some of your supplies should remain at your main home in the event you are trapped and cannot get to your emergency retreat.

Iran Goes Nuclear, Deal Reached (Videos)

 An unnamed senior diplomat says that a landmark deal has been reached between the P5+1 countries and Iran that will relax sanctions and monitor Iranian nuclear development.

 International diplomats and Iranian diplomats are expected to make the announcement of the deal later this morning in Vienna.

The deal supposedly entails relaxation of the international sanctions in trade for the United Nations.

The IEAE inspectors will be able to “press” for inspections of Iranian facilities. 

Reports also state that access to sites for inspection can be delayed or possibly denied at Iranian discretion leading many to believe the delays will allow the terror-supporting nation to hide evidence of nuclear weapons research.

Plantain: The Ugly Little Edible ‘Weed’ That Heals And Soothes

If you do not chemically treat your yard, chances are very good that you have some plantain growing there. Plantain – not to be confused with the banana-like fruit of the same name – is a common weed found throughout North America.

Native Americans have called plantain “Whiteman’s Foot” because it seems to spring up everywhere. Although many consider plantain to be a noxious weed, it has been used for centuries by many cultures throughout the world, with the Saxons calling it one of their nine sacred herbs.

You can recognize plantain as a low, short plant with wide and round leaves that have parallel veins.

There are many photos and videos online to help you identify plantain. What you may not know is that it is a very useful plant.

In fact, it contains anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. So, instead of yanking out these common weeds in frustration, you can learn to cultivate them for all kinds of purposes.

Vertical Gardening: Growing Food In Small Spaces

Just because you live in a small place with little to no yard doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy fresh vegetables and plants that you grow yourself. Vertical gardening allows you to take advantage of every square foot that you have available to you.

For that matter, even if you have plenty of space, vertical gardening is a great way grow a variety of plants that you can eat and that decorate your yard. All you need is some latticework or something similar and the desire to do it!

Besides the fact that you don’t need much space for a vertical garden, there are other advantages, too. If you have problems bending down, a vertical garden allows you to pick the fruits and vegetables standing up or sitting in a chair.

 It also helps to keep plants free of pests and mold because they’re not laying on the ground. Finally, you don’t waste produce that ripens under the leaves and rots before you see it.

Video: Director Of Pesticide Action Network Explains How Neonicotinoids Work

Want to understand how bee-killing neonicotinoids (a class of insecticide) work in less than two minutes, and why you should care that the EPA does nothing to reverse the damage that these pesticides have done to our pollinating insects?

Watch this brief video that explains it all.

Dr. Keith Tyrell explains how this new class of pesticides, neonicotinoids, which are considered “new” in that they have only been on the market for about 20 years, are taken up by plants as they grow.

These ‘neonics’ are not like old pesticides because they become part of the plant itself, making it toxic. (Neonics are taken up by the roots or leaves and taken to all other parts of the plant.)

Tyrell’s summary is a brief insight into why neonics are ‘bad for everything.’ The European Union has imposed a two-year moratorium on all neonics, but the US still allows them to be sprayed everywhere.

 In fact, the EPA has decided to allow more of these bee- and butterfly-killing chemicals to enter the environment despite clear dangers.
