Greetings Frank
I came across your marketing through the Elijah list. We did order the 72hour kit. We thank you for this offer.
Your story is becoming our story. 6 years back I got my e-MBA. 3 years back we started gardens and prepping. Then the company I worked for let me go after 17 years.
Now we are trying to find a way to start a home based business.
We halve a heart and passion to “equip” others to be prepared.
Thank you for your story.
Blessings
Jim
YES, I support and voted for Trump!
No, I don’t care about football anymore. I used to watch religiously on Monday nights
& on Sundays! :( It’s really too bad they’ve politicized a sport everyone used to
love and COME TOGETHER to watch!!!!!!! I won’t watch it now, or ever again unless they stop
the kneeling altogether & get the athletes to shut up and play ball. Anyway, I ramble, lol.
Thanks & take good care. I look forward to receiving your products in the mail.
God bless!

I have been on your email list for several years. You used to send out links to informative articles that people could read and share ideas on. Now the only emails I get from you are trying to sell me something. What happened? I know you have to make money like everyone else, but I don’t have any to spend and I miss the articles.
have some really wonderful ideas but, someone like myself has no money to even buy food for the week for myself. are there any cheaper ways to
feed and protect myself.
My very first thought was that a bomb could take out a huge and growing threat to the powers that will be.
I can see this as one of the courses that Patriotic people might take. I have even thought of this idea myself but not to this extreme. I mean, why walls and towers? What are they afraid of. Want to keep people out or people in. I was thinking on the lines of about the same amount of land but not so many people. 7000 families on 3000 acres means 4.3 acres per family. That’s ok for an individual family separate from everyone else and I guess maybe that is what they are after. Each family doing for themselves. Solar, well, gardening, even some livestock, chickens, a cow and a couple of beef cattle or pigs. That is really pushing it for 4 acres. Then you need room for a 3 or 4 bedroom home, a barn to store hay for the winter and shelter for the livestock and where are you going to get the hay? After you put all of this on 4 acres you have no more room.
I mean the scenario is good but I don’t think they have thought it all out.
What about security shutters for windows and doors?
Hi Frank. I take prescription medication daily, and can only receive a month supply for two of them. At this time,I cannot live without them. It worries me to no end. What can a person do? Thanks
I’m afraid your legal options are limited.
O.K. but what CAN she do legally or otherwise?
Question ,how to handle human waste properly in your home ,or near it . Toilets , how long will they last if waste plant has no power ? Then what do I do to keep things clean . I live in a mid size town , can,t just walk outside and do my thing. Suggestions please.
Composting toilet?
13 Gallon trash bags. Line your toilet with a bag. Use for #2 only if possible. #1 (Urine) can accumulate and then flush with your saved gray water from washing hands, face, dishes, etc. Place used #2 bags into another bag and dispose in a deep hole in the ground.
A simple composting toilet can be a 5 gallon bucket set inside a wood box with a small computer vent fan. Empty on a compost pile outside. Use a hand full of sawdust after each use controls odor and provides proper carbon to nitrogen ratio. We use 2 bucket system and we empty into a small manure speader lined with hay/straw. Works great and we get compost!
Two other idea websites I can suggest is Motherearth.com and offthegridnews.com for waste use in terms of compost toilet building , storing and even heating you space! Just, please, skip more plastic things, other than reusable buckets for toilets. Plastic bags can also be used outdoor pillow stuffing. I hope this helps.
As a 79 year old arthritic, I am frantic to have a reliable source of electricity. I have approached several people about making either solar panels or the magnetic generator. Marketing says that both are easy to build. No one is interested. Where/How can I get some help?

If you try hunting for survival, outside of your state’s hunting season, even after the crisis has come to pass, you will be arrested. Gunshot noise travels far, and would be conspicuous after everyone is assumed to no longer own guns. If any citizen sees you with a gun, he will report you. Best to learn to make natural traps, fish traps, as well, and learn to hunt with a bow. Bows might actually come to be our main means of defense against thieves, etc. Water distillers are inexpensive to buy or make, and would solve the water problem where drinkable water is not available. Learn about edible wild plants such as wild mustard, watercress, the customary nuts & berries, acorns, etc. Forget about your car, or truck, there won’t be any available fuel, and also, driving is where you are most likely to encounter government forces who might oppress, and/or arrest you. If you plan to have a generator, try to make it a diesel – powered one, so you could run it on cooking oil, etc.
Mr. Bates, Thank you so much for all that you do! My teenage kids ask to see your latest Blog! The one thing my family would like to see more information about coping in any situation with individuals with disablities! Do to the raise of Autism in my area I started look for information about helping these individuals however, I have not found very much information! Plus this is personal my niece has Autism and cant speak! If you have any information it would help! Thank you again for all that you do!
Hello @Aleisha,
Your message realy speaks to me and my experience. If the goverment cannot be trusted in any way at all, you have to question everything they say as well. If you find your husband cheating, you simply cannot belive him, after the trust is broken without verifying it for yourself.
There is another opinion about autism/ADD/ADHD/ as well as other newly created diseases. The opinion is that they are gifted in a way that we cannot understand. God made your children through you. Who is the government to sqy that God is wrong and they have to “fix” him with drugs. They are fixing him to be another sheople. I’m attaching a referance for you. There are a lot of good videos on you-tube as well. You should be able to see if the symptoms match up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo_children
Everything on TV is a commercial designed to make us think a certain way, even before they break for commercial. Since the news is owned by the corporations that control our country, usually the best medium for news is youtube, or smaller journalism companies that have no conflicts of interest. I’m more likely to belive my neighbor or stranger in the community than a salesman about how great his product is. It’s the same principal.
Hope this was helpful.
Hello Frank and thanks for all the valuable info you have sent. I am doing all the prepping I can afford to do when I can. Water is my biggest fear. Funny, I live in Stockton, California and have a sailboat on the Delta. Once I get a purification system I will be pretty complete especially after purchasing your food. I buy Black Powder guns as you just walk in and pay and walk out. No paperwork what-so-ever! Maybe you should pass this on to your supporters. I ordered a 44 through Cabela’s and got it the next day LOL. Thanks again, Robert
Frank, I agree with you on most things but you are wrong about GM Food. Genetic modification has been going on for billions of years. It is called evolution. All genes have been modified hundreds of times. That is how we got here. GM foods are cheaper to produce and do not require the toxic pesticides that most foods do so they are safer to produce and to eat. Studies have shown that GMO produced food is safe to eat so please do not make yourself look foolish by saying otherwise. Thanks, John Scott
Frank, you are worrying for nothing. This anti-GMO nonsense is typical of the fevered, twisted, irrational thinking that bought us the witchcraft trials and witch burnings of the middle ages. You should educate your self on GMOs and then use your organization to bring a just a smidgen of sanity to the subject. Science has not found anything wrong with GMO food, none, in spite of much investigation; so stop following this uneducated mindless rabble down the primrose path to more and more pesticides and more and more costly food. Thanks, John Scott
I have done research. I find the effects of “Round Up Ready” GMOs to be a travesty to biodiversity and the independent farmer.
GMO farming is toxic to land and food is inferior and all true long-term studies prove how toxic it is.
GMO seed is very costly and is not natural and has ruined the export market. Hell no to GMO!
I have done my research that agrees with yours, Frank. Those who believe GM food is safe need to know that anything designed to explode bugs when it eats, say, corn, what is it logically even doing to our stomachs when we eat that corn? Diverviticulitis perhaps?
I am an older senior citizen, I live in a very rural area. Having to “bug out” isn’t a real great option for me. But I have put together a pack that I can put on my horse. I can walk well so long as the horse carries the pack. But I look toward staying in place and growing my own food. My greatest concern is putting by some of the emergency foods. They tend to be very pricey for my budget. Also as I’m a DIY-er , building solar panels etc is not beyond my abilities, just beyond my budget. I really appreciate all you information, Keep up the good work.
Hang in there Frank. I am with you on the GMO stuff. I went to Okla. State University and in the 60’s they were already talking down all this bad stuff and were warning us what could happen to our children from this kind of farming.
In 1963 my youngest son was born and born with an open spine. You can not inagine what all he has went through but he is still alive and they said he would not live for a year. He is now 5o and is in a wheel chair and we great times together.
I also am a senior am on my own and have been wondering some of the same things . I am wanting to fine other seniors and some not so senior to band together . Everything you read is aimed at younger people and being trained in a number of things to help them survive. I have been getting my “stuff” together but my only choice is to BUG IN, where do I go from here. I have been trying to find a group but so far no go. Does anyone have an idea ? I do have some skills but they are probably not up to par with what others are looking for can anyone HELP, thank you.
wonder if my learning disabled children will ever get a job and move out on their own someday. I worry that special needs kids will not have a place if we loose the social safety net and don’t have health care benefits. Without Medicaid for all, our family would not have anything.
too much self promotion
Dearest Frank, I love and appreciate all you do. I especially love the food products your company sells. You are so spot on with your information to the public. This country won’t turn around until it turns to God. America, PRAY every day please. God bless you Frank. God bless America.
This is something to worry about.
http://tellmenow.com/obama-quietly-orders-one-billion-dollars-worth-of-disposable-fema-coffins/
.just lost our house to a major fire,we lost a lot but were both alive . I never thought I would be starting all over again at 70.I read your articles & your video is going to help a lot when we rebuild .
I’ve lost jobs, my dignity and my sanity at times, but never my home. I’m sorry for your loss and will be praying for your family.
You are absolutely right Anita O. It’s like liberals have been deceived by some demonic force. They insist on abortion rights. What happened to the days that the parents and their doctor made that decision, except in cases of rape or incest. They say that the woman has a right to say what goes on in her body. How foolish! What about the baby? Where are their rights to live? Many women would rather have their baby murdered than to give birth and allow it to be adopted to a couple who can’t have children. I pray that every President who has served this country and allowed abortion on their watch will hear the cries of those babies every night in their sleep. I believe that God has a special place in hell for the doctors who has murdered those innocent babies who made an oath to preserve life. God Help Us!
Amen
Thanks for all the info. Although not all is useful, most is very helpful. What’s with the lack of 22.cal ammo? Is it horders, manufactors, demand ? Maybe highlight a precast cistern for backyards. A couple cases of water won’t do. Best source for ham radio.
Again thanks for all the info. Dale
Hi Frank. I read comments back about 4 months so I have some idea about what has been written. Lots-a-good commentary. But I have something to add. In those comments I don’t recall anything about law enforcement. If we wish to be protected from government interference we need to keep the Feds and NGOs out of our states. And the best way to do that is at the county level. Our duly elected representatives are our County Sheriffs. Being elected, they are the highest authority in the county because they represent the people. Sheriffs take an oath to support and defend the Constitution. They are our last barrier against unconstitutional law enforcement by federal bullies. 28 of 29 Utah County Sheriffs have been designated Constitutional Sheriffs and have pledged to defend states’ rights by preventing any federal officer from enforcing any law that that is not authorized by the Constitution with initial focus on the 4th Amendment. Search the Utah Sheriffs website and find the letter sent to president Obama in January 2013 stating that intent. The move to empower county sheriffs has gone national. A 3-day Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) Convention was held in St. Charles, MO 31 May-1 June 2013. Of the 48 speakers, many were acting sheriffs. I have 4 DVDs of those speakers. One of those who spoke represented Sheriff Joe Arapio of Maricopa County, AZ and his research into President Obama’s long form birth certificate. A 2-day meeting for sheriffs only in LasVegas is nearing completion as I write this. The sheriff of Beaver County, with whom I have made contact, is attending and I hope to get a report of activity next week. Their website is CSPOA.net. There you will meet organizer retired Sheriff Richard Mack and understand the supreme importance of this movement to defend liberty. I’ll add more as events unfold.
I’m 83 and my husband is 89 with memory problems so I do not have a lot of time to listen to all the information via email. I sometimes feel it was a mistake to subscribe since there is no way I can apply all the info I receive. Guess I should just unsubscribe and be done with it. At our age we are ready to go anytime anyway so why worry about what is going to happen in the future? If we were younger I might have a different outlook.
As always I enjoy reading your emails. I learn quite a bit. I am most concerned about big government and their growing control over The People. Cost of living is skyrocketing and the government seems to be buying up supplies making it harder for the public to afford to stock up. lLike most people I can’t affore to but remote property and safety shelters as a back-up. I have to be able to fortify what I have. Any suggestions on bare necessities(water,food,tactical etc…)
Frank, you are the guru of survival…let us keep it like it iss, where you lead I will follow…many thanks for your guidance…JW
Children in this society are not being taught any survival skills. “Mall rats” cannot build a fire or shelter, or hunt for food. If power grids go down and food supply is interrupted, people will suffer immeasurably. Early pioneers knew more, and were hardier.
I think this nation is in DIRE trouble, I’ve come to the point of realization of not being afraid anymore, at first I was. I’ve been aware of all of this domestic militarization, FEMA, DHS, etc, the take over If you will, for 4 years now. The economy is no better as I am a hard working lower middle class individual, I’m not wealthy by no means & I barley make it from time to time the inflation of this dying economy is taking a toll on me and my family & us as an American people together. I do try and put in the extra overtime to get ammo, food, medicine, etc, not much but
I’m trying because I KNOW where we are headed. I fear the time of when the hammer drops, I fear not being able to provide for my children, but in this fear I find strength. I’m not sure what it may be, but I feel I’m destined to be great to be a leader when all of this goes down, I hope it doesn’t, I want stability, I want to be free & go on living a normal life, but are way of life is being eroded.
I tell people around me about the current issues we face, some listen, others laugh, some think I’m crazy, some are in denial, & Some have even woken up.
I’m also worried about gun confiscation, as that will be the spark of resistance against are enemies. It sounds crazy, I know but same thing happened in back in 1776, same thing happened at the Alamo where I live.
But as I said before in this fear I find strength, the will to thrive & survive, the will to be free and preserve my liberty.
Being a “more mature adult and single” I would like to see articles about living in a town on the gulf and being self-sustaining, things I can do to survive anything. Also about living that way on a set income .like social security and a very small pension.
thanks
I ordered your solar and wind package and I’m well pleased, it put the last piece of my plan into place.
I wonder if you have thought of one of most important part of being informed. I myself have in place a wide web of sources in the military and law inforcement field who feed me intel on a regular basis, and without these people I would be screwed.
I think everyone overlooks this in any plan. If by chance orders come from washinton lawmakers to take over. I will be informed with 10 minutes . People need to start such a web.
i HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT IF THE GOVT GOES THROUGH WITH TRYING TO CONFISCATE OUR GUNS, THERE WILL BE A BLOOD BATH
Frank, I so appreciate everything you do for we American Patriots! The information you provide is invaluable. Thank you!
I wish you would come up with a long term solution to providing high quality premiem food for dogs. My German Shepherds are large and eat a great deal. Yes, I can purchase canned dog food locally however it doesn’t have a very long shelf life… only perhaps a year. I’d like to have something that I can rely on for a much longer period of time. My dogs will be part of my security and early warning so I want them to stay healthy and strong. Any ideas?
well, if you don’t hunt…
you might consider stocking up on grains and freeze-dried meat. Both are great for people survival and, boiled up together (especially with some fats/oils added in) would be great dog food.
How can you help with a whole country that seems to be brain washed? If the parents are brain washed how can they teach their children? I am almost 70 and have never seen a government like this and so many mindless zoombies following behind . Nothing makes sense-I don’t get it. Thank You for all you do.
Hi Frank, you asked me to comment on what I think about your products.
Someone once told me the definition of sanity is having options. In this crazy world we live in, so much is coming at us, insane things, in my opinion. I felt powerless. And was extremely frustrated. You woke me up to the options I have. I am still concerned about what is going on, but at least I can make small and big steps to take care of my family. Who by the way most of them think I am a little crazy, four adults, three are liberals who blame me for the way they are. I taught them to be generous, but never taught them to be generous with other people’s money. So I calmly say, well if something ever happens you know where to come. I keep planting seeds in our conversations, like it’s good to have a 72 hour supply of emergency preps., and water. BTW your emergency food for a year is very nice. Nice to know I don’t have to worry about rotating things out. Thank you for all that you do.
I am thankful for all the info you send and do read it all at some point. Just keep it coming. We already raise a lot of food and I am going to start making my own pasta and currently make a lot of our bread. I have bought some things from you and wish I could buy more but right now am unable to. We had a garden last year and I canned nearly 300 pints of food so I know we could make it for a bit. We also have our own protection just need to get more ammo. Do you know of a more reasonable place to purchase ammo? We are in our late 50s and may never need this stuff but who knows. I would like to know how to make our home more secure as we live in an older home with lots of windows.
Agenda 21 can it be stopped? People need to be aware of it.
Just wanted to say thanks for all you do for us!! It is good to know there are still people that “love thy neighbor.” Please keep the information going , because it is ALL good! I have taken something away from every artical. Again thank you !!! DavidF
All your information has been valuable to my family and myself. It is spot on and gets the points across for a novice like myself. Thanks again for your dedication to the cause and God Bless America! Larry
I would love to see everyone in whitehouse, congressmen/women, senators and all of the others is Government have to pay their own bills. Give them a wage close to any CEO of a company. But they have to pay all of their own bills and live under the same laws as the rest of the US citizens. Also I would like to see everyone that is on welfare (state aid) put this time in doing community service, not just sitting around getting fat and lazy and insisting they are intitled.
Frank, there isn’t much I can do now, since I am caught up in the web of government dependence, and my once-strong husband is certainly going to die within a few days of an ongoing disaster. However, I am putting together a knowledge base for my children, or anyone who can benefit from it after I am gone. Real life and tested survival skills, such as information about wild foods and medicinal herbs and skills such as animal husbandry, raising food, etc. I have a list of survival skills, and I will be going through that list this year; there will be a chapter for each skill. I know it’s not much, but maybe, in some small way, I will leave a legacy for those who will come after me. I am also building a library.
I am concerned that Obama wants the U.N. to control our guns. Obama has been annoined by the Rotschild’s to reduce America to a shadow of its former self. Already, Obama has increased the DEBT as much as ALL of the other Presidents COMBINED! This is outrageous!
Thank you for all your input on many subjects. How about some information on analog communication.
Also any medicine for the new world order.
Frank, I am going to try my best to keep this short. I thank you for the privilege. I am 65 years young on disability female. I am a miserable person, not so much that I can not do for myself but I spent the first 60 years of my life helping others. I can no longer do that.-I have purchased as much from you as I can afford. I thought my family would get on this wagon with me but NOT. I am concerned about protecting what I have. I do not want to pick up and go anywhere. I want to look like a poor useless old lady that has nothing but I fear for my safety. How can I find out about other Patriots in my area? I have already made plans to give my 15 year old dog some of my medicine if things get where I think someone would do him harm. I am headed straight for heaven when I take my last breath. I am having a hard time making ends meet but will not ask for help. I am a strong Christian woman and I know in my heart that the good Lord will care for me. Is there a way I can find others in my area.
In a survival situation, I would only trust people that you currently trust with your life.
To Nancy Corbin. Don’t look for a list of local survivalist/patriots near you. Focus on family, friends, fellow church members, ect. in your area. People with the same morals, values that you have. A persons “foresight” to prepare for upcomeing hardships won’t tell you if thier trustworthy. Know the character of the people around you. I live near fellow survivalist prepareing for future disasters much like I am.. Thier patriots. However, when it comes down to our friendship or feeding thier child thier clear their most important asset is their guns because then they can just take what they need from someone else. Knowing the good people in your area is more important than simply prepared people.
Hey Frank, First, Thank You! your e-mails with your insights to survival tips has really got me thinking. My ONLY concern is protecting my family and surviving any fallout of government and/or natural disaster. So please keep up the great work informing people of ALL the REAL POSSIBILITIES that face us each and every day.
My biggest concern is what to do when the “Mauraders” come to take what I have prepared for. And they will! I am 60 and alone. How in the world will I ever fight them off?
I also would like to see more on gardening issues and seed saving. People are going to have to figure out HOW to grow their food and sadly most today would not have a clue. Most would not have a clue how to cook from scratch. So bought by the GMO’s, the “just add water” boxed dinners and the fast food. Hello! WTSHTF the grocery stores will be CLOSED or sold out. No more frankenfood! And not a golden arch, BK, KFC to be seen! So what you going to eat? YOU ARE NOT! Not to mention most people today keep enough food on hand to last a day or 2. Fema knows this and will use it to enslave people. On about 1/8th of an acre, I raise enough food to feed me all growing season, feed many of my family, friends, neighbors and the local homeless shelter. I also have enough to can, freeze and make many varieties of soup that will also feed me all winter. Find a local farmer that can supply you with pastured meats, dairy and eggs or raise your own.
Why this subject is not a required school thing for our children, I will never know. Instead, in my grand-daughters (13) own words, they are taught, in the case of disaster, to go to the nearest Fema Camp. WTF are they teaching our children? God help this Godless nation
I am concerned about Social Security. I am an 84 year old widow and Social Security is my only source of income.
I bought some survival food mostly to be prepared for a natural disaster. I’m not a CT (conspiracy theorist) but the things written about the Federal Reserve, I checked out quite some time ago. It’s true; and it will get worse. But this is what I do NOT see addressed. This WORLD and life as we know it are going to end someday. And all the guns and food and solar doo-dads will not help you if your heart and soul are not in the right place. People go on and on and their family and friends think they’re crazy for preparing for a “doomsday” scenario. The truth is the world ends everyday for somebody. We are ALL going to die eventually; are we prepared for that?
This is true; if you’re not right in your heart, mind and soul to meet your Maker, all else is futility. Didn’t Solomon say a similar thing in Ecclesiastes,”All is vanity.” Happy Thanksgiving; hug the ones around you and enjoy your family life.
Hi Frank,
Earth tubes for cooling a home would be a good subject to discuss. Also, I’ve thought about using passive solar for home heating by building a copper tube collector, running glycol (used antifreeze from auto repair shops) to keep it from freezing and storing the heated liquid in insulated barrels. A recirculation pump (solar powered) could then circulate it into reclaimed AC coils and a fan (solar powered) would blow air thru them creating a solar forced air heating system. Quantities and sizes are what I’m trying to figure out. As always, great site and great information. Thanks.
Ron
Wow! this is what I’m talking about! Great tip!
Frank am trying to get a windcharger set up. Wind never stops in Oklahoma. Have your survival food stacked away. Hard to find time to prepare. Wife thinks I am overreacting. Keep the ideas coming. Thanks
Hello Frank:
Back on 10/20/13 you introduced us to your Friend Kevin from Alaska. He had a business opportunity to offer and I believe you ran this on 10/22. Unfortunately I was away at this time. I would love to have been able to hear about this but i could not. Is there any way this may become available in the future? Thank you
Id like some info on gold….I hear that gold in its natural form is worth more (nuggets). If your going to buy gold what kind will be best for the future….where can u cash in gold….the right way….not these “buy gold places”.
linda,
I’m no expert on gold, but I do know that if you anticipate TSHTF, you want to buy gold bullion (which includes nuggets) as opposed to gold coins. Coins cost more than bullion because collectors value them highly, but if it all goes to hell and we’re reduced to bartering, etc., you’ll get more value by shaving bits off your bullion than you would by chopping pieces off the coins you paid extra for. You certainly won’t be swapping one of your coins that cost $1k+ when bartering for something to start a cook fire, for example.
Frank
I would like to hear your thoughts on how to defend a residence used for immediate family after a societal meltdown. Specifically I would like to hear your thoughts on security and day/night watches/guard duty.
thanks
John
I served in the United States Marines for ten years as a grunt from 1995 to 2005. As far as weapons go during a case of a meltdown, you are probably going to need to invest in both a compound bow and a short tactical weapon that you can get your hands on. First of all, if you don’t have any experience repacking empty shell casings, then stick to a compound bow with plenty of shanks and arrow heads because usually you can retrieve the arrow from the body before bearing it. Stick to Swacker blades for your arrow heads. It can pack mean and nasty death blow. We don’t know how long the stores are going to stay open where you can load up on more ammo during a meltdown or complete collapse. We also don’t know how bad it will get. My guess during social unrest or calamity they will shut down any gun shop or ammo supply shops. If you really want to avoid becoming a target by anyone, whether vissical or being shot at, then you are going to need leave the old life style and learn how to live out in the wild like Grisly Addams. As far as I’m concern the bigger the house the more of a target for thieves and desperate hungry people. Remember during a meltdown you are probably going to see a heightened military presents in the streets along with the police department. If that is not the kind of life style you want then the wild will be your next best bet. I’m not trying to fear monger but we have to remember how bad it was in France when thousands took to the streets and the police and military could hardly contain the situation. Everyone needs to be prepared for every scenario. Most importantly, lets’ just pray and hope it doesn’t get that bad. As far as Guard duty, have a plan for night shift since we all know that one cannot function proficiently without proper rest. The longer one stays on night shift the fatigue and ware is going to dull your since of awareness and the ability to stay alert. Stay safe and Semper Fi.
So Frank, good advice if you are male and trained in weapons. What about a 60 yr. old female living alone? Just kiss my A** good-bye?
I was just thinking the same thing. I’d like to get together with some proven like-minded (older) locals to make plans, but it seems everyone around here is blatantly selfish and woefully ignorant of current world events.
I’d like to see an article about what to do when Homeland Security or NSA show up at our door and ask for our guns. I’m guessing that govt will declare martial law within the next couple of years and start their rounds. What are our options? How should we respond? Then, how do we respond to the cancelling of the next presidential election after martial law has been enforced? Is there a way to find similar folks with a real Patriiotic belief that can communicate and bond together to hang together in resisting the over-taking of private citizens by the govt.?
Would like to get the results of your comments / research / recommendations. Thank you.
You have hit upon my biggest fear, Kendall. Obama is purging the top ranks of the military and internet rumors say that the litmus test is whether those officers would order their troops to either (or both) 1. disarm, or 2. fire upon, U.S. citizens if ordered to do so. Combine that with the several BILLION rounds of ammo, the 1,700 MRAP light armored vehicles painted in Army olive drab (not tan for desert fighting) and the several thousand AR-15 type semi-automatic rifles the government has recently purchased, along with the rumored staffing & supplying of the (again rumored) FEMA camps, and it’s not looking rosy.
Even Military Schools have guns that date back to world war 2 and armories have a ton of stuff too!
If you know they are coming ahead of time, get out fast and don’t hesitate. You don’t want to mess with Homeland Security or NSA unless you have the same size force with greater fire power. Remember it is this very organization (Homeland Security or NSA) who are destroying this country in the first place along with the elite few who are bringing about a One World Government (NWO). You don’t have to take my word for it, do your own research.
I am bugging in. No matter who shows up. Like running to “where?” is an option for me. I am on my own. 60, divorced and only a daughter who also thinks as me. Hope we are the first to go!
If the idiots would leave me be, I could ride out this mess. If they chose to take from me, well at least I got to live MOST of my life in a free world. Golden years! What a bunch of CRAP! I am sure glad my father, a decorated WWII vet is NOT alive to see what he fought for. He loved the USA but would hate the AMERIKA our LIAR in Chief made it!
Hi Frank, I’m Gary and I would like to express my thanks for being so fastidious with your self sufficiency process. Thank you for all of your survival guides. I be-leave it is not all the governments fault. However, I agree the current economy is out of control, so I have managed to pack-away a survival kit. I am glad the country is free enough still to be able to do this.
Hi Gary, I agree a little but remeber who is in control not the Government but the Federal Reserve. Federal reserve is not part of the government. You can thank your President Woodrow Wilson who stabbed us in the back by signing The Federal Reserve Act signed in December 23 1913. Notice when it was signed?? During the holiday when more than half of congress was out and in recess or gone until the 15th of January in 1914, the new year. Pretty crooked Huh? It’s all government documents, hard-cor proof. Common core system in the schools today the dummying down of America ran by this so called US government. ANYWAY The Federal Reserve Bank is a consortium of twelve private banks which are not part of the United States Government. These private banks purchase paper notes from the U.S. mint for printing cost or simply enter digital money into their computer then lend back the money plus interest to the people through member banks. The profits go into the share holders of the bank’s pocket’s, the U.S. public receives no benefit.
The Primary Owners of the Federal Reserve Bank Are:
1. Rothschild’s of London and Berlin
2. Lazard Brothers of Paris
3. Israel Moses Seaf of Italy
4. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of Germany and New York
5. Warburg & Company of Hamburg, Germany
6. Lehman Brothers of New York
7. Goldman, Sachs of New York
8. Rockefeller Brothers of New York
All the primary owners are branches of European establishments. For them money does not grow on trees, it is simply a data entry into their account. Clearly the private ownership of the U.S. Dollar is by far The Greatest Crime of the Century. The owners of this bank have been responsible for instigating all the major wars and depressions in the last 100 years. They own the bank, they own the dollar and they own all the major media channels, the military industrial complex and most politicians, judges and cops. Sometimes the bank pays an arbitrary ‘franchise fee’ to the U.S. government to keep the politicians paid off. The first two private National Banking Systems lasted about 20 years before being eliminated. The current Federal Reserve Bank private National Bank has lasted nearly 100 years. The cost of this system to the U.S. public is hundreds of billions of dollars every year while holding the nation and people in a constant state of debt. There have been assassination attempts on every President who attempted to eliminate these private National Banks. The privately held Federal Reserve Bank has not once been audited and never pays any income tax on their astonishing income.
YOU CAN TELL WHEN A LION GIVES UP.
HIS EYES GLAZE OVER AND HE LAYS DOWN AND WAITS FOR DEATH TO COME.
That sounds a whole lot like “”I am glad the country is free enough still to be able to do this.””
Gary I want to believe you with all my heart but reality speaks in a loud way that tells me different. I’m sorry but you heard Bushes father when he was in office during his address to the nation, about a new world government. You can’t deny that. It’s all over the internet and Youtube. Your freedom depends on whether you stand up in life, Thomas Jefferson said. He also said that the tree of life has to be refreshed every now and then by the blood of Patriots and Tyrants. Freedom can’t be bought; it comes under the price paid by blood. I would rather be prepared than lie to myself and to other people and then commit suicide at the last minute because I thought I was always going to be free. Everyone says it couldn’t happen in America. This is the land of the free!! Right???? Keep thinking that way. That’s how Americans thought when we were attacked on 911. Asleep just like they still are today. Besides don’t take my word for it. Find out yourself. Don’t trust in this Government Gary. You are deeply going to regret and disappoint yourself. Again you don’t have to listen to me, find out the hard way. I’m NOT going to live through life thinking that I’m happy I still have a little bit of freedom left. I am totally free and the only way they take that away from me is by death. America’s founding fathers put it well: “all men are created equal . . . endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights. Any true patriot will learn from history and not repeat it. “The only way to perserve freedom!!” Sorry you don’t have to support this reply but that would mean we are in denial if we don’t support the dea of being 100% free. .
Greetings to all,
Love your ideas and being self reliant is the way to go; however, yes there is a “however”, your “get this” for $4.99 to cover shipping really “sucks”. If you want to add an additional 1000 items to up the price to $30.00 say so, don’t have me fill out all kinds of e-forms only to find out it’s $30.00 not the $4.99 as advertised. (i.e. Para500)
If this is all about marketing that’s one thing, if it’s about what you preach, well you better change you’re come on. If you’re selling it for $5.00 shipping then sell it for $5.00, I don’t need an Obama alien decoder ring in the process.
Thanks to all for listening to the winier.
I am a patriot! I am an AMERICAN!! And because an am both of these, I don’t have my head up a political party’s back door! What scares me are people who drink the wine of their political party and believe everything they say , hook, line, and sinker! These people have no voice, they are sheep, and are being led to the slaughter. Our political system is broken, it needs to be fixed. As an AMERICAN PATRIOT, I would not want to live anywhere else! We have taken our freedom for granted, we have lost respect for one another, and have allowed agendas, and endorsements to run our lives! There is no question we need law and order to maintain peace and civility. However, our government can only do so much, and as a PATRIOT, you realize this and do what AMERICANS have done from the beginning, you take care of yourself and help other when you can. When the Sh_t hits the fan, we will once again become AMERICANS, not Democrats, not Republicans, But AMERICANS! We ARE the people, We Are the power! We will do what our founding fathers, and mothers, did, take control of OUR lives, make common sense a national policy and stop over governing OUR daily lives! We are ALL going to have to learn to live together, to rebuild this great nation, and learn from our mistakes to create an even better democracy than before! Thanks for all your great information to make us self reliant !!! Stay strong America!!
A TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT you are Kimble. You are awsome!! Keep up the fight. “”As we Marines say Semper Fi!!!”””
Good Job! I’m finally home!
What does a disabled 63 year old woman, who is all alone, do? I cannot Bug Out. I have stocked up on canned goods, paper goods and such. I don’t want to lose my one means of defense either. I won’t write about that item on the internet. I live in a condo and the regulations are so strict I cannot grow a garden..besides..too much shade outside of my condo..and I am not physically able to dig, or bend over. Cannot walk very well either. I have many disabilities. And this lovely US gov’t will not give me my hard earned SSI. And when my alimony runs out.(was married to a narcissist just like Obama) I have nothing! Do I just lay down and die? My spirit is a fighting spirit! I am a former police officer..(way back in the 70’s and 80’s when an officer protected and served) and that is mostly why I am disabled today. I guess it is that saying for me…”from my cold, dead hands”???
Wow Barbara! We are on the same page! I am almost 60 and also alone after 28 years of being married to an “all about my a** narcissist! And a drunk to boot! I got to start my life from scratch at 49, lost my home and business, by choice, to escape the madness and have since beat the sucker at his own game. Own my home and 3 rentals and rebuilt my business and ALL paid for. In 10 years. Used to hear it often from people bought by the snake lies. He will get his reward in heaven! YEP! HE WILL! When married to one, seems we see just what the Obama lies are really about. Clueless just don’t get it.
I don’t plan on bugging out either. All my preps are HERE! I am able to have a garden and I eat off of it all summer and can and freeze enough to also eat off of it all winter. As far as SSI? I don’t plan on ever seeing a dime I have paid in since 1969. So are you buying the Obama care crap? I will take the fine and guess just who will pay it. NOT ME!
We recently received a 6 seater hot tub from friends moving away. I need to replace 2 motors to make it work. My concern is the high cost of electricity to use this item. We are retired and thought this could be theraputic as well as a water supply for emergency use. I’d like to heat the water without using house electric. I’m was thinking of a type of rechargeable battery to circulate the water pump and heat the water or maybe a gas propane tank to supply the heated water. I’d also have to consider an energy to recharge the battery. As beginner, I’d like to start with a smaller project before moving on to bigger items.
You have talked about marine battieries before but was not sure if that would be a workable solution. I’m sure there may be another alternative. Just wanted to run this by someone with a broader understanding of these systems. Any input would be appreciated.
Just a thought, Lex, but why not look into building a solar heating system for it?
Hey LEX go to youtube and type this in the search slot.
How to build a Solar Furnace
Also check out some of the sights that Frank Bates shows you through his solar package he sales. His kit is 100% real.
Hi guys (& gals),
Going off-grid is one thing but what are you going to eat?
Watch the movie: “Peak Oil”, how Cuba survived with only 1/8 of the oil they received after the Soviet Union collapsed. It is available on Youtube.
We are also exploring bokashi and vermiculture here in South Africa as well as chicken farming on top of a dam of Tilapia fish. We are also exploring farming with rabbits so that we can become almost self sufficient in all our food requirements, even beekeeping to replace sugar!
Watch also the movie on http://www.thrivemovement.com but ignore the first segment on ‘pie in the sky’ alternative energy, and join the movement!
And what about double glazing, waterless toilets, methane digesters and geothermal heating (heat exchange)?
Keep up the good work, and support the revolution in the USA to make the world a better place! Even Chinese rule would be better!
Regards
Abel
I am concerned when TSHTF, me and the wife being disabled, we certainly are not able to bug out. I might last 2 football fields walking,, then I’m done. Not really sure what to do, or what I can do. Have asked around of any preppers in this area, or meetings, things like that.
I also am diabetic, so I am dependent on a medication that doesn’t store well for any length of time. I’m willing to except the possible outcome, and need to prep for the rest of my family to try to survive. What top 25 foods would be recommended to store. The ground here in SW Florida is crappy old white sugar sand, good for making glass I guess. Some things can be grown, but to do it right,,, one would have to put some big bucks in the ground to make it gardenable.
Thanks
Scott
Scott,
Do some internet research on the term “survive in place” and I think you’ll find there’s a lot you can do.
I have not been able to give any time to the project. What I have read impresses me and I am anxious to get started.
First off, I’d like to say Thank you for doing what you do. In my opinion, it is the very definition of “The American Patriot”. I myself have always considered that leaving home before things hit the fan. I have wondered what would be the major signs to look out for that will tell me to leave now, and where the next best places would be if I don’t have underground bunker. I’m not really a doomsday prepper, although I do believe in being prepared for worst case scenarios, and I have done just that for the area that I currently reside in. I would like to know what you think the signs are that should tell me when to leave. Also I wanted to ask if you had any information about harvesting new seeds from your garden (Since not all produce generate seeds the same way) Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us.
From the very beginning you have been overtly again the Obama Administration. He has been better than most.
Seriously? HOW? He is a liar! And against everything American. Seriously? The sand must be very deep in your LALA land.
What worries me the most is the lowlife bottom feeding MORON that is masquerading as president and the zoo full of schizophrenic retards supporting it (him), the direction he and they are laeding this once great nationin. I, along with several thousand other combat vetrans are very disturbed and concerned about this. As ststed in the report “Divided we fall” and the “Canary Report” the future looks pretty scary.
Yes, I am a Patriot and an Army Vet. If you have something worth buying, then sell it. If, however, the only way you can sell your contraption is by insulting The Commander-In-Chief, President Obama, then your product is not worth looking at or purchasing.
Your ad insults our intelligence. Get a life!
LIAR IN CHIEF IS A BETTER EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE IDIOTS BOUGHT. YOU? A patriot? To what country? YOU? A vet? To what war? FYI the COMMANDER IN CHIEF has ZERO military experience. A lot of BS and lies, but military experience? Examples would be nice here. Got any? Didn’t think so. CAUSE THERE ARE NONE!!!
He has made it his goal to FIRE any that have. The little snake a little afraid of the ones that know more than him? Might make brain dead believer stand up and take notice, as you should!
FYI my father was a DECORATED pilot at the 8th Army Air Force in WWII and I will guarantee you he didn’t serve his country so some socialist Muslim loving thing could trash our freedoms. You kiss Barry’s A**’s. But drop the patriot garbage. Your post insults MY INTELLIGENCE. He might be your commander in chief, if dumb enough to buy the lies, but NEVER MY PRESIDENT. He isn’t even a American for God Sake!
My main concern is how to deal with the other people. I live in a somewhat rural area in the mountains of West Virginia. My wife and I are retired and we will be prepared with food and water and other items that will make a power outage storm, EMP. cyber attack, civil unrest etc. survivable. I will protect what is ours. But having said that needy people, good people that just want to feed their families will come begging even demanding what we may have. That is what I wish their was some guidelines to follow Our supply is not big enough to feed all that would come by. None of us want to shoot these people even in self defense. I know that you and the other readers understand what I am asking. I just had to ask and I know there is not a good clean, clear cut solution! The movie that was on TV this past Sunday highlighted this problem in several didn’t situations.
My concern is that the size of our national debt will cause our economy to fail, there will be a ripple or domino effect, and all the major parts of the economy will fall (housing, auto, stocks, etc). When this happens there will be chaos and survival will be very difficult. I’d like to think I am prepared, but can anybody be prepared for this scenario???
No, not everyone. Read all the replies from Frank’s post closer to the top of this page and you will get the picture. You have to be prepared of what is coming. Not everyone here on this site will make it. As long as they are in denial there is not much hope for them. They will be a part of the Army that controls the MARTIAL LAW. They don’t like people who fear monger or interact in conspiracy thinking. They think you are crazy.
http://www.maggiesnotebook.com/2013/10/fort-hood-troops-warned-not-to-donate-to-tea-party-or-christians-tea-party-radical-tearing-this-country-apart/ this scares me and it’s our own military. what do you think we can do about it.
When conservatives called them on this, they admitted doing it and claimed they would stop. And if you believe that, I’d like to talk to you about buying a bridge I own in Brooklyn!
In 1983, I worked for “The” Westinghouse Corporation just outside of Carlsbad, New Mexico. This was a place approximately 1/2 mile underground where they stored spent nuclear rods. I helped in “setting up” the facility underground. cleared out rooms as big as an aircraft hanger positioning electronic devices in the walls to monitor such items. One of these days the desert is going to collapse from all the “man-made” caverns underground!
I am overwhelmed. Everyday, I read and hear more about foreign troops and military training on US soil, planned power outages, and the list goes on and on and on. There is no way that I am prepared.
food i eat has to be better. or i die 10 years before my time
Dear Frank,
In a situation where we need to survive in our homes. What would we need to do besides store food and water, keep warm is one of the concerns as i live in the northwest where it may snow in winter. I was investigating a garden where you grow underground. Like a dug out greenhouse. What are your thoughts on this idea. I thought it was good in cold areas.
Regards, Wendy U.
What I think is America has lost its morals & values that use to mean something to all of us , its a scary place anymore , Now you have to take care of yourself because our Gov. sure cant, and wont . It has sent me into the self reliance of myself of the well being of family ,to be aware and do something for ourselves, grow our own veggies, poultry, solar, wind generator , dabbling in all areas, moving to the woods go larger scale when we get there, Im tired of all the politicians staying richer as our country goes further down ,Im real interested in getting off grid later on with solar system I got your video And it lost me on the tabs on the bottom to connect all panels together, it really didn’t explain that part very well fast thru the long wide strips connection negative positive connections
morals are DEAD! The in doctrine of the children at schools to make sure of this. They preach tolerance to gay marriage as politically correct and FORCE the tax payers to pay for birth control and abortions. All thru that wonderful AFC act! All the while they send the Constitution to its grave. And the sheep just keep buying this sh*t. I really think this country is beyond help. Better hope, like me, you are the first to go. I really don’t think your preps, your cash (gold or silver) your food, water or emergency supplies will save you more than a day or 2. This idiot the idiots allowed in office of President is WAY more smarter than the rest of us. Good Luck!
where Is all the love? I want to join you in this up and coming disaster/ apocalyptic world we probably do live in but you need to find common ground with more people. I know alot of people who look at your blogs and don’t read them just because your coming of too strong. I don’t know maybe I’m off because I sure like your blogs, But I think we may be missing all the people that we are or I’m going to be fighting if the s!@t hits the fan. I am going to be in the city with solar power food ,water, all kinds of supply’s but out numberd a million to one… So I do everything I can to just be as ready as possible and hope More peolpe around this F!@#$d up awesome country Wake up! I have tried to evin get My own family Involved but I do the same thing and scare them into denial like the rest of this country seames too willing to do… Any thoughts? P.S. you are awesome!
“Where is the LOVE?” Are you kidding? Like this regime gives a rats ass about us! Grow up and take responsibility for something no one else on the planet will. If you want to share the LOVE, I suggest you concentrate on your family, friends and neighbors. LOCAL! Honestly, you don’t really think anyone else is going to care, do you?
I am a displaced homemaker/ widow, now a student. I support my family of 4 on my widow benefits while going to school. I seems to me that the government is opposed to people in my situation. All they want is to try to make the poor more poor and yet will not allow us help in any way. We do not even get tax breaks (there is always a loop hole). Yet they always want more from us, and we don’t have it to give them. And they say that’s all right borrow it. I wish the government and society would stop dragging us down and give us a chance and letting us get on with it.
Frank, my biggest concern, should the crap hit the proverbial fan, is my medical needs. I dialyze three days each week. And, I am diabetic, so I am dependent on a medication that doesn’t store well for any length of time. Scary, huh?
the 25 food products to have min.
I don’t even own a handgun but I am angered over the constant assault on our constitution. It’s been said that if our right to keep and bear arms is taken away, all our other rights will follow. It’s also been said that a government cannot control an armed population but they now appear to be closing the noose on their control over us and we are still armed (for now). I think we missed a step.
http://www.bravenewfilms.org/living_under_drones_pakistani_civilians_killed
take a look at this Frank it’s not a good thing
Why does Congress violate the Constitution on a regular basis?
I thought that the elected members of congress were to honor their Oath of Office and the best interests of the voters.
Obama has violated the law so many times I want to know why he is still in office!
Frank,
I would like to know what companies you would recommend for prepared survival food kits. I have been talking with Wise company and have a sample they sent me which I will try. All of them are expensive and I’m not sure about the quality of the products they use. I would like to purchase a month supply of food for myself and for our kids as a ,stop gap, if something like an earthquake, etc. would disrupt services for a short period of time.
I would recommend to your readers that they read the first two books of an seven series books called, “The Change” by S. M. Sterling. It is sci-fi, but it has what appears to be an accurate depiction of what would happen if the world was hit by an EMP that destroyed all electronics, gunpowder and the ability to make steam.
Secondly, I would recommend, Tactical Taylor, 2916 107th South, Lakewood, Washington, 98499, 866-984-7854, (near Ft. Lewis) as a source of military and tactical police web gear/ holsters, mag carriers, load bearing gear, and general carrying equipment such as backpacks. They will custom make anything you want and if you go there you will see a lot of special ops and police officers ordering gear. They don’t sell any weapons other than knives and I don’t have a business interest in the company. It was started by an ex-Army vet, who was making custom gear for fellow soldiers while he was on active duty. He was killed several years ago in an auto accident, but his brother and family have carried on with the business.
I don’t like what I see happening with the government, the economy and world in general and so I am preparing for the worst and hoping for the best!
Thanks for your time,
Ed
Before I decided to write a comment, I read many of the comments already posted.
I agree with the person who asked what to do if you don’t have a bug-out place to go to and, therefore, cannot build some of the things you talk about in order to survive long-term or have a garden and animals to provide food and milk. What about money? How much money should a person keep on hand? Will it even be safe to have money in the bank at some point in the future?
The things which scare me the most are the ways our own government is spying on its own citizens who are just trying to survive and the agenda to take away our Second Amendment rights.
The thing that makes me the most angry is our Congress who continues to get paid for doing absolutely nothing other than causing governmental gridlock. I think all current members of Congress should be thrown out of office and have all new members elected, set a two-term limit for them, and make them have the same benefits as the rest of the us. Unfortunately, they have written legislature which protects them being recalled. The only way to get them out of office is for the people to vote them out when they come up for re-election. I could write a dissertation on my feelings about Congress but I will stop here.
Thank you, Frank, for all you do and keeping those of us “in the know” more informed.
My biggest concern is Obama and his gang of thugs declaring martial law and total collapse of the economy and the food chain and supply. Therefore I’m growing and storing food, including fruits, veggie, bees & honey, chickens, fish, wheat, corn and even tobacco. I’m building an alcohol distiller to make my own booze, I have installed ‘protection’ devices and am HOPING I’m ready and PRAYING that I’ll never need all this. But, being retired and handicapped, it gives me something to occupy my time and energy! I’m also trading and selling produce, eggs, organic fertilizer( from worm operation) smoke meat for others, and will me selling a line of ‘heritage seeds’ My plans include installing solar heat/cooling, and electric ,plus wind for electricity. I think I’ll be OK!!??
I do not like the way Obama is taking our government. He is a true COMMIE he does not be leave in our founding doc’s The constitution the Declaration of Independence and the Federalist Papers
hi there frank . this breaf . sorry cant spell little words . lol need to preasure senators and repsendatives to pass article 28 . they have to treat themselves equal to us pore people . also after no bomma pulled his shut down gov ,to get his med bill throu , it’s time to start raizing voices to impeach him .thanks for listening .. Lynn p. cook
I am worried about the TPP – the Trans Pacific Partnership that is supposed to be fast tracked before the end of the year. Why does the media not even mention it. I am convinced that the general public is unaware.
I live in the wooded north, in an area that has 100 or more inches of snow per year. I have been heating with wood for 25 years, but do need minimal electricty to run my well pump. I used. to have a backup electrical heating system so my house would not freeze if I needed to be away from home for an exended period. This furnace failed last winter and I had many of my pipes freeze and break.
I need a new backup heating system. Do you know of a source of of propane furnances that can be tied into my duct system of my wood furnace. I will purchase my own propane tank and will only use only on occasion.
I am not sure solar will work since I am surrounded by tall trees and do not have the time and or money for a wind generator system. I do have this as a 5 year goal.
I need a referral/or recommendation for an efficient propane heater.
Your assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Frank: Thank you for all your information. Right now I’m in a battle to get my identity back. I got involve with a scram and I didn’t realize I was. So now I have to put my property up for payment.
Fears:
Not being prepared to meet my maker.
Purchasing survival information and not having the means to implement what I’m learning before TSHTF.
Too many financial set-backs and not enough to cover them.
Sudden illness(es).
I want to see if you actually place these comments on the page. Power4patriots.com is all BS. You’re here NOT to help Patriots or anyone other than yourself! This is a “Please buy my books” ploy. PERIOD! All a bunch of crap that anyone with 1/2 a brain can find by doing a simple Google.
Barry Soetoro, Indonesian citizen, criminal alien, has been using our laws to avoid arrest/ prosecution. He is in place to totally destroy every aspect of the United States of America!
ANY other country would have thrown him in the slammer and thrown away the key. Now after milking our protections, after many revealing investigations, as many dictatorial actions against “We the people…” the truth is coming to the forefront. Lying, stealing, enraging racial strife, supporting Muslim Brotherhood, manipulating Washington, D.C., intimidating the SCOTUS, killing Americans in Benghazi, killing a helicopter full of “Navy Seals”, manipulating Sequester, importing criminal aliens, Fast and Furiously providing guns to drug lords, removing loyal, patriotic military leadership, petty-boy is denigrating OUR veterans/heroes.
If revolution does not come, America is gone.
If BHO successfully causes freedom loving, loyal, patriots to initiate the conflict—martial law.
If “We the people…” continue peaceful non-violent protests, martial law.
FEMA camps are waiting, did they plan for enough?
“We the people…” are “One Nation Under God”. May God have mercy…
save the republic
TEAPartyLen
I am increasingly more interested in major calamity survival but at 77 there is not a lot I can do except store food water and ammo….is there anything else that you can suggest for seniors like myself? Read your every post, great job…ty
I don’t think there’s much that seniors can’t do to prep. You might think more about surviving-in-place than someone more mobile, but really, that should be everyone’s first choice.
The increase in volcano dome size is monumental and scares me the most and its rate of growth is frightening. Please look at Yellowstone’s ticking time bomb. It’s not a mater of IF it will happen; it’s WHEN it will happen. Why are we not prepared for the devastation to the heart of our breadbasket of the nation? Oh yeah! FEMA bought up all the DRE’s and ammunition when Everyone will starve and rioting will take home defense to a new level. I’d call that a extinction event for the USA.
keep up the good work ,informent that help keep a head trouble thank you
Obama health care.
how badly have we been screwed.
Wife’s medicare, (disability).
How stupid people are that still like Obama.
My biggest concern is dirty polititions. The racial violance that the blacks seem to get buy with. The ruin of the constatution. The lack of medical treatment for those that deserve it and the way the system destorts everything that protains to money and power just for a few. And the like of true christianaty.Im sorry I just cant list all the things that is wrong with our system
only the future will tell under this president government is not going to get smaller the money that we have spent on so-called green energy savings programs that can’t stand on their own in the bigger government has gotten the bigger the national debt has become. And it will ultimately hurt our standings in the world economy as we are seeing right now because our budget and debt need to be taken responsibility for because we cannot be an island unto ourselves just playing around with how much money we want to print without it affecting the rest of nations’ for we are in a world economy and the when one nation decides to default on its debts that it has borrowed from other nations it can cause the same effect on those nations especially when the US over history has been a strong economy and this president over time as destroyed it.
more on pro 2nd amendment right’s. a heads up when the shtf and how bad it’s going to be. why Obama has not been Impeached and prosicuted for the scandles. do not want any attachments to videos that say the comming disaster, or someone trying to use scar tactics to buy there book.
what scared the hell out of me. my 14 year old Daughter and my 17 year old, saying they would kill themselves if the economy was to colapse like cypruss. they don’t want live in a fema camp.I’m in fear of this whole goverment will collaps . the police breaking down my door in the middle of the night to take my firearms and my emegrancy food and my metals. fear i will have to shoot them for storm trooping my apartment. I fought in the jungles of vietnam and was in constant fear of having to kill somone. I had too. now I feel like I’m back there again and fear our govrment.People are loosing it. I don’t even go out now , unless i need food ,or when i have to see my doctors. the racial violence against whites. I had 3 Blacks try and pull the knock out game on me at the mall in the parking garage. glad i had a gun. they approach me with racial slurs and they met Mr. 45 auto. they ran off. I fear the goverment and the police.
Hi Frank, Appreciate all your E-mails, although I had not been able to read them all yet, I have a special file I keep them in, so later this month I can sit and read them all :) I do have some preperations already in place and today my wife and I are going to go in the garage and update our food storage and rotate it like we should. Even in our beliefs we are taught to have a 1 to 2 year food storage and I have up to 1 year or close to it I think. I also know from our beliefs the time is very close that this economic collapse is inevitable, but also are the natural disaster our mother earth will reap upon us. I bought two back packs in case of emergency and the funny thing is I started a diet with this medifast food and thought this stuff is perfect for back pack or storage. Would like to know what are light weight hiking shoes that would do well in adverse weather if you know? Now my biggest worry are my 3 adult sons and my one grandson, how do we plan it so we can have some way to be in contact when cellular phones communication pods break down, is there a short wave or hand held that travels the airwaves over 20 miles?
What really makes me angry, is that the same government that is causing the economic breakdown will be the first looters to show up at our door taking whatever they can carry out when martial law is declared.
You can prepare, and forego the vacations and mindless consumerism in favor of keeping your family safe, only to find that the government already has labeled those who have taken reasonable precautions as suspected terrorists (nice going McCain), and plans to march in, disarm and relieve people of their supplies as any criminal would love to be able to do.
Ask the Ukranians how that worked out for them.
Hi Frank:
What my husband and I are especially interested in are in the topics or privacy, home defense and food crisis. Which you have sent to us (food crisis and home defense) on
occasion. We live in the country and have 10 acres and we are trying to prepare without
spending a fortune. Thanks for all you do! We are very concerned about the damage the
Obama administration is doing to America and to our seniors (as my husband and I both have elderly mothers we are concerned about).
This president has broken pretty well everything in our Constitution that he’s not suppose to do. Why hasn’t congress impeached him?. He broke our Constitution when he signed in Obama Care the way he did. Congress did nothing about it. It is way past time for Obama and his cabinet and others like them to go. We need someone in office who is for America and our Constitution not the brotherhood and socialists.
My biggest fear is that America is gone as we have known it and all of our freedoms.
I was reading the other night that Obama has a litmus test for our military commanders that requires an answer to this question: Would you kill American citizens? Recently, two military commanders of general rank have resigned due to the “condition” of their commands. Is there a connection here?
1. Delay implementation of obama care for at least one year.
2. Reduce spending to stay within our estimated income, just like most people
3. term limits for all elected people
4. No pay till they get the spending under control
Imagration is one of my concerns. Why does our government willingly let enemies of our country come here? Our enemies are inside our boarders and even in our Government! How do you fight that? People blindly following Barack Osama Biden bama. And whatever happend to the transparency in government that this president promised? He’s as transparent as mud! He isnt transparent but he is predictable. If it’s destructive or bad for this country Obama is all for it. Why is Obama so willing to compromise the truth in order to get what he wants, I believe he lied about the origin of his birth, his own comments from before he was elected confessed the truth. And where has the stimulus money gone. Was it spent keeping social programs going? He seems hell bent on wasting it as quickly as he could. And instead of putting that money into things that would benefit us long term,it seems like it was totally misspent,misdirected, misused. So I guess he’s doing all the harm that he can before the next puppet comes in. And one last comment, why do professional athletes get paid so much money when important people like teachers,scientist, doctors,caregivers who take care of our children elderly parents, people that impact our lives and make a difference have to struggle. Okay so maybe a Doctor isn’t struggling but he’s not making millions a season either. And that brings up the issue of healthcare as another concern of mine.So there yea go,there’s a slice of my brain. Theres lots more where that came from.
I love the tips here.I love the concept of self reliance. Here is the thing though.I live in earthquake country.I always hear “theirs a big one coming” In 45 years I only felt 2 worth taking about . I hear the economy is going to collapse buy gold. Now everyone is selling gold like crazy. I hear a emp is going off soon. I use to duck in cover 50 years ago because a nuke might go off. I hear H1N1 is going to wipe out mankind. A couple of chickens died. Terrorists are going to attack. They have been attacking us for 50 years. None of this is new. Its always been part of life and where you live dictates how much of it one will be exposed too. Can all this stuff happen? Yes. Is it likely to happen to you .No! The odds of any of these thing happening in your life time make flying on a plane the most dangerous thing you will ever do. Preparing for the worst might be an over kill. Be prepared makes you a good boy scout. Practicing common sense makes you an adult. Don’t live in fear . Prepare reasonably for reasonable things that might occur. Don’t buy a gas mask. Your not in Israel.Relax , enjoy life . Frank- Cant we be a little more positive. Its not the end of the world. Really, I Promise. Nothing is eminent unless you have a crystal ball. Keep up the good work but don’t become a fear monger. It just makes people make bad decisions and allows other people to control you. Remember , do the hokey pokey that’s whats its all about. peace
I have not had the time to open most of my e-mails. I am much behind on them for several
reasons. Most recently, Yahoo has recently changed the format for receiving and this is
making is very frustrating and time consuming to read them. I am most interested in reading
crisis information and believe the timing is here to do so. Being an only person household,
a senior citizen with health problems all make everything more difficult at this time.
Hi Frank,
I’m not sure you can really help with my unusual situation. I am the mother and caregiver of a young man on life support, who is considered end stage with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. He is now 27, wheelchair bound, on a ventilator and an NG tube. I’ve put aside as much of his food and medication as I can, I’ve got a gas generator and a small back up solar generator to supply power for his ventilator and other medical equipment.
Getting out of town in a crisis? I don’t think so. The reality is that I have taken a lot of your information and tried to fit it into our situation, and prepare for a disaster as much as possible, but in the end, we are, as always, in God’s very capable hands.
I’m very troubled about all the fear I see and hear, and those who are making money off that fear. I’m not unaware of what is going on, but neither do I choose to participate in fear. I work to cultivate a sound mind and a sound body, as the life of my son depends upon it.
I am also working to build a safe place for those like my son through Eden’s Wellspring, the non-profit organization I’ve founded. The financial generosity of others continues to be a source of strength as we build for a different future for a marginalized group of young people.
The information you share WILL have an impact on this group as the complete vision for Eden’s Wellspring is brought into fruition. For that I am very grateful. Thank you.
What ever it takes to get rid of our Dictator & Chump !
I would love to have more info on reusing items that would normally be discarded; appliances, containers used in packaging of products, etc. Any & all things related to that would be welcome. I do a lot of that sort of thing, but am always interested in getting new (to me) ideas.
Food storage. The signs of the times are on top of us. My biggest fear is no food. Saving up to buy more food4patriots storage…ready to get a good deal :)
Obama
Sorry I have not replied. Great program ! Have been covered up building addition to my house. I am a builder and doing it all myself by hand in my spare time. Thanks,Bill
busy with running a TP group.. we have a prepper section.. and much more .. would like for you to review our website thevillagesteaparty.org need quick items to give our members and suggestion.. maybe a sponsor or contributor or interview we can play for our members.. thanks for what u do. “A”
I think that even the hard core dems. must start to understand that what the gov. is doing is against every thing that this country was founded for. When our Pres. thinks that he can amend a law to suit his likes any time he wants to then we have no need for congress or the senate. We are then under a socialist rule. I am seventy years old and have seen a lot of change and this Pres. is trying to destroy the country by any means possible. In 1961 when I was a senior in school, I failed 1st. semester gov. because I said that our form of gov. at that time was not a democracy but rather a socialistic republic, I think that I was right then, and it has gotten a lot worse since.
I would like to hear about cheap ways of building a solar and wind power set up. More ways of combining a green house and solar power set up if there are any out there. And a lot more on home defense. Whether or not if I can build a growing area in a room inside my house with solar power grow lights. These are things I would like to know more about especially since I have a limited income. Thank You for taking the time to ask. Other sites do not care enough to take the time to ask.
I just found out from the Deputy Director of New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division that driver’s are getting a 6 point facial recognition image taken with their D/L photo. This is done without their permission. Why would they need facial recognition? Good question.
Biggest fear is losing more freedom. This is happening every day and biggest problem is we cannot rely on friends and neighbors to care for our families while we fight to regain it. Old days wife’s and family would work the farm and take care of everything while men went to war. Not likely to happen now days so we just continue to lose more and more.
Interested in how to remain my home when the dollar collapses and when the food stamps and welfare ceases. I have a swim.ing pool for water, and stockpile of food. Plenty of guns. Am buying an AR-15 this week. How do I protect my home. Thinking of stocking up on plywood. Any suggestions?
What do I think!………..I think they are scared because we know to much, this is our country and the Democrats are giving it to the Muslim nations and the Republicans are to scared to ruffle Obama’s feathers! YES…….we have a big problem and what I’m scared of is my age 67 and what I can do to contribute or help my friends stay alive if a civil war should happen! I’m scared because the Democrats are listening to the BS from the White House and they are putting this country up for grabs. The Japanese & Chinese have purchased so much of our wealth in our foundries and other major companies that we hardly own anything of worth any more!!! Yes I am scared and also have to worry about a what is it BDM from the son that will wipe out this whole plaint in just one of them coming from our Sun!
My wife and I worked hard for years and in March of 2008 due to terminal bone cancer she succumbed to it and is a better place. She will not have to deal with what we are dealing with the uncertainties that we have in front of our face now. YES I AM SCARED!

Do you think that the government is aligning the population with “obama care” as a means of sorting out the strong from the weak? ( I mean, what insurance company practically begs people to accept free coverage and as a bonus for signing up you get a free phone? Are people really that stupid? What if this universal health plan,(National Healthcare Services, National Homeland Security) turns out to be a one way ticket to a mass graveyard in the Arizona desert? If a person is terminally ill, or a drug addict, or an alcoholic, or a diabetic, who can’t function and be productive, being promised a cure at a new government facility, “for patients only,” (GUARANTEED HELP IN A FRIENDLY RELAXING ATMOSPHERE) no visitation allowed for a year!
We need to keep hearing how to put these ‘systems’ together. For instance, purchasing the needed components to an alternative energy system that is a ‘back-up system’. One that runs grid energy to batteries and has a hybrid, solar/wind component that charges the batteries when wind and/or sun is available.
I just put in one of these systems which I happen to come across on the internet.
Resources are important and where to get them at an affordable price is very important. Batteries for the alternative systems run into the thousands of dollars, so being able to save money on shipping is a great value.
Here’s is a store that I deal with and they ship internationally. http://www.TheInverterStore.com
Like a previous poster mentioned, we need tio keep hearing it over and over.
Another idea would be to have pictures of peoples systems posted here on your blog. If you like a system you could even interview that person to find out more about their approach.

How can we protect ourselves from a dozen or more militarized swat team invasion looking to confiscate our prepping supplies, firearms, and ammunition? I’ve made low level informal inquires around the neighborhood and everyone, save one, thinks I’m a terrorist. The one who does not is ex-military as myself.
My internet access is really slow so I have a hard time downloading videos. I don’t want my subscription cancelled because I don’t down load something.
Thanks
The cord is good must have. Ditch bandanas for knife. A knife with sharpener is a must. I like the bags I carry large garbage bags para cord and knives in my truck at all time and my backpack I take with me everywhere. Another thing I have in truck and back pack is lighters. Butane, magnesium fire starters, and flint.
There is MUCH to know about Solar Power and Survival Supplies & Food. Please keep going in these directions as sometimes people need to “hear” it 3 to 6 times before it begins to sink in.
Thank you for your efforts.
I really think that the GOP needs to forget about Obamacare…let it fail under its own weight and poor design..Work on defunding or defanging the IRS…They represent the true threat to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They are accountable to no one and far to easily manipulated for political reasons.
I just looked at the latest email from Frank about storing food for emergencies and just want you to know that I do try to take time to see what your latest topics are, but I think your white board sales pitches are boring and very difficult to endure. None of us poor working folks has much time to look at our email and really don’t have time to sit for a long periods waiting for you to get to the bottom line. Please give us a much shorter version of what you think we need to purchase–you might find your sales greatly increase. Or at least give us an option for watching a 60 second nutshell of what you want us to know!
Why do we have a Congress? I attended a Republican Womens meeting last week (because my mother asked me and I got a free meal) and Trey Gowdy, House member from my district, was the speaker. He discussed immigration, the IRS, Benghazi, etc. I came away feeling that these Congressional hearings are a joke. First, they can’t make someone talk, and second , their hands are tied. With Obama using Executive privilege for anything and everything and bypassing Congress, why are we paying them their enormous salaries and perks? Do we need to disband the Federal government and start over with the Constitution and SOME amendants? Get rid of the Federal Reserve and IRS? Make a law that persons seeking public office must pass an intelligence test, as well as voters. No lawyers, lobbiests, or corporate America need apply? Only people that make up to a certain income are elegable with no personal agenda? And if they screw up, get rid of them and prosecute. No mamby-pamby hearings. And most of all, term limits with no retirement plan.
With rumors everywhere about the Feds building up forces on American soil against the coming revolution (are they afraid?) and states talking about secession can only mean one thing. The American people are FED UP with the current situation. Just this morning, I filled out a survey about secession. In 2012 this poll indicated about 30% for. In 2013, the numbers are up a little; 97% for secession. Now the cons outweigh the pros as individual states, but banded together it is a viable alternative. At any rate it certainly tells the Federal Government that we are mad as HELL and aren’t going to take it anymore.
Yours truly,

I am going to try this one more time , then I am going to give up. You asked me what makes me fighting MAD? Well here goes . I can not trust a government that lies to his people . When we are told that we are not n a recession ,LIES. A gallon of milk is not a gallon any more , a pound is not a pound any more. A box of breakfast cereal is not what it used to be.
How can anyone trust a government that lies ? Senators and Congressman and women try but are VETOED every time they come up with the solution of how to fix the problems that we have . Harry Reed said ” More government .!” Nancy Polocie said ” More taxes!” Paul Ryan said ” Less Taxes and smaller Government !” Look at the shootings at Fort Hood , Sandy Hook, and most recently the DC Naval Yard. People need to wake up and say ” We must arm ourselves if we wish to survive this trouble we are facing now. ” Buy a GUN , get TRAINING , get a CARRY PERMIT, I have two . One from Utah and one from my State .. I have a gun on me where ever I go.. I feel saver and the people around me feel saver. I tell the people in the stores I go to that I am licensed to carry and I am carrying now. They don’t seem to care , at least not all..
FOOD PRICES for less
GAS prices with the same price as oil was 6 years ago.
Protection from TERRIOST , not one bought to trail after Bengasi ..
Housing who can afford a house on $15.00 an Hour..?
Cars , when the President said he will keep auto makers running , why di Chevy closed it truck line in Ohio , Pontiac , and now Saturn ..
Now they are thinking about Catlacs die off. More and more jobs are lost from Detroit , MI than anywhere else in the USA> They went Bankrupt …
This what makes me fighting MAD !
I’m afraid Obama will seize power and abolish the House, Senate, and the Supreme Court, using the police powers of the NSA and Homeland security. If these powers will not let the president and the treasury print trillions in worthless paper, a coupe could happen under the guise of national security. Of course millions would protest (peacefully), and the president would have those gassed with saran. Then a civil war would erupt, wiping out about 3/4 of the population, and the government being nonexistent. At that point the Chinese, Russians, Muslims would offer their help, and America would be no more. Right now the monetary burden to run the government is so great the working taxpayer cannot support it. The economic system is broken.
I’ll tell you what gets me fighting mad and that is that our so called government officials Democrats, Republicans and especially our not so smart president not doing what is good or right for this country all they are concerned about is self gain and greed. It’s time we the people wake up and take this country back from this big government because certain people in office are trying to run this great nation of ours into the ground and the sad part is that they are succeeding in doing it and turning the government into a dictatorship (FREE COUNTRY I THNK NOT WAKE UP PEOPLE) it’s time the people in this country to get off their damn lazy ass and take responsibility for their owns lives and families and quit expecting handouts from the government which does nothing but give the government control over your lives (dictatorship) sorry for the swearing but you did ask what got me fighting mad.
Careful. That can be a threat. You could go to jail your self. :)
Our government, failure to abide by the Constitution, lying deceitful representatives, power of lobbyists, gun control, the planet warming hoax, the “demolition” of the world trade center buildings to enact the “Patriot Act”, and give us a “pretend excuse” to go to war with Iraq and destroy a generation of our youth. Obama’s 4 trillion dollar bank bailout. All banks involved should have fallen by the wayside. No one would bail me out if I made bad investments and poor decisions. Obama, our house and senate have just about destroyed this country. Obama wanted a police force for himself – hence expansion of FEMA and homeland security. He knows that the “real” police will never accept his agenda. The government a monster that has grown too big and has become dangerous. It is self perpetuating, insatiable and out of control. It no longer serves the people – it serves itself. It is wasteful, corrupt, devious and evil and the minions of this government (FBI, CIA, NSA, FEMA, TSA and Homeland Security) serve this monster.
things that scare heck out of me.
1) Government & obama
2) Food shortage
3) total fall out of USA.
4) money worth nothing
5) health
Big Government should hear the people not the other way around. That being said I live in Chicago and Illinois is along the New Madrid fault. Trying to escape this city after an earthquake would be nearly impossible, and a proper defensive/ assault ready bug in plan would be great. A bug out plan if SHTF in the Midwest would be better.
ALOT OF PEOPLE ON HERE ARE PISSED AND CONFUSED. IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT, BY A SOLAR GENERATOR WITH A 100 WATT PANEL. 1800 WATT ONE. THERE CLOSE TO OVER A GRAND, BUT IF YOU CAN AFFORD ONE BUY IT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS RIOTS AND GETTING MY MEDICATION THAT I NEED TO KEEP MY BRAIN VIRUS’S IN CHECK. MY DOCTORS WILL NOT GIVE ME AN EXTRA SCRIPT TO BUY MY MEDS TO STORE FOR AN EMERGANCY. I’M DISABLED AND HAVE SEZURES IF II DON’T TAKE MY MEDS FOR THAT. IT.S A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, SO GETTING MY DOC TO GIVE ME EXTRA COULD GET HIM IN TROUBLE. iF I GO MORE THAN 8 HOURS WITH OUT MY DOES I START TO SHAKE AND THEN THE SEZURES START. I LIKE VERON RICE’S IDEA. i SAY PUT UP GUARD TOWERS WITH STADIUM LIGHTS AND A SIGN ON THE MEXICAN SIDE OF THE FENCE, TRESPASSING ON US SOIL , OR ATTEMPTS TO CROSS OVER WILL BE SHOT. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL THE MEDIA ABOUT ALL THE MUSLIM TRAING CAMPS ALL OVER THE US. TRAINING FOR JEHAD AND TO ATTACK US FROM INSIDE. OBAMA KNOWS ABOUT THESES CAMPS AND WHERE THEY ARE. SOME ARE MINI TOWNS .THEY ARE CUT OFF FROM THE LAWS AND THE PUBLIC AND RUN THERE OWN LITTLE COUNRY WITHIN OURS. READY TO ATTACK US IN OUR OWN COUNTRY. SOME OUR MEMEBERS OF THE MUSLIM BROTHER HOOD AND OBAMA SUPPORTS THE BROTHER HOOD. HE HAS GIVEN THEM MONEY AND ARMS. OBAMA IS NOT AN AMERICAN . HE’S A MUSLIM SUPPORTER AND A DICTATOR. THERE’S UNDENIABLE PROOF HE’S NOT A BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN AND HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS A COMPUTER FORGERY. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIS DOCUMENT OF LIVE BIRTH. EVERYONE WHOS’ BORN IN A HOSPITAL, OR AT HOME NEED TO FILE A CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH TO GET THERE BIRTH CERTIFICATE. i’M 61 AND I STILL HAVE MINE.i’M AFFRAID OF LOOSING MY FIREARMS AND MY SSDI AND MEDICARE. I LIVE ON GOVERMENT HOUSING AND I KNOW IF THAT GOES SOUTH i’LL DIE ON THE STREETS. MY LANDLORD IS TO CHEAP AND INCOMPASSIONET TO LET ME LIVE HERE UNTIL THINGS GOT BACK TO NORMAL. iF THAT WOULD EVER HAPPEN. MY SAVINGS WOULD BE TAKEN FROM ME BY THE GOVERMENT AND ALL i HAVE IS GOLD AND SILVER. iF I REPORT THAT TO HOUSING i COULD LOOSE IT. i HAVE ALREADY LOST MY GI DOCTOR. HE’S AFRAID MEDICARE WILL CUT HIS PAY AND HE’S AFRAID THAT OBAMA CARE WILL RUIN HIS PRACTICE. NOW THE CLOSETS GI DOCTOR WHO WILL TAKE MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN HOUR DRIVE. I’M TO ILL TO DRIVE THAT FAR. I WAS IN VIETNAM AND WAS DISCHRGED WITH NO BENIFITS, ISTEAD OF ADISHONORABLE ONE. i CAUGHT MY LEUTNET RAPEING A 12 YEAR OLD VIETNAMESE GIRL AND I KNOCKED HIM BRAIN DEAD.
why has there been so little interest in proving that obama has no us birth certificate
I am so tired of you spouting you jargon then wanting MY HARD EARNED MONEY to line your pocket! I believe much of what you are saying but I don’t believe in the manner of which you want to share your knowledge!

How to fix Social Security. If the Govt.is serious about fixing it here my suggestion,1.Before the Vietnam war Social Security had more money than any Govt. agency. So to finance the war, the Govt. decided to use Soc.Sec.money.2. First of all the money was not the Govts, the money was the American workers. 3. Instead of giving American tax payers money away in the form of Foreign Aid, take the money and apply it to Domestic Aid, Domestic Aid being the Soc.Sec. coffers, and replace the money that was not the Govts. to spend.If Congress had to pay into Soc.Sec. like the rest of the American work force you can bet the money would have been replaced by now.
Hi Frank, I must say, I feel the same way as most of the comments I’ve read here, BUT, the one big concern I have is how to keep electricity going for the freezer and fridge, and how to keep the home warm. Because of you, we now have a fair supply of food (635 servings) that, if we had to and had just one or two meals a day, could probably stretch it to almost a year. We are also in the process of setting up rain barrels for our drinking water and what not.
Being retired (both my wife and I) I’m disabled and we’re on a fixed income, we have nowhere to bug out to, so we’ve decided to “bug in”.
We have a generator, and backup propane heat, but if the SHTF, and we run out of propane, and gas for the generator, what then? Winter would be brutal with no heat. That is what scares us the most. I’m not quite sure how to fix the “HEAT” problem, unless we put in a wood stove, but then, we’d have to be able to supply the wood for it. I’m not sure we could do that.
Hi Frank,
Love your work. I’ll bet you’ve covered this before so perhaps just point me there.
I’d like to hear more about what will happen immediately following the collapse of the dollar, when it is no longer the global currency. What will become of the cash we are squirreling away. What should we be collecting to trade with after the melt down?
Keep up the great work.

I tip my hat to you sir, not for just for what you wrote, but for being a public servant. I know that it can be a thankless job at times, but I know that it can be rewarding as well. Thank you for all your years of service in protecting the people of your town and fighting crime and corruption.
What happens if my family and I have to leave our homes and have to live deep in the woods. Not just my wife and my son, but my parents, my wife’s parents, my brothers and their families. Everything I’ve read from you is wonderful I believe wholeheartedly that it would work and not fail me. I’m sure that when disaster strikes, there will be a LOT of families like us, struggling to survive. I need to know what to do if we don’t have time to take a bug-out bag or if it’s taken from us. An extreme scenario, just to picture it in your mind. Maybe I haven’t read enough info, lol. If that’s the case, just let me know. Thanks for everything Frank. Knowledge IS power!
Is this actually America,,, its more like the middle east since obama has lifted homeland security to allow his muslim friends and brothers in the US. There is so much hateread towards this administration and rightfully so with all the “obama boys black gangs” Obama is such a hateful “boy” .
I know we are not too political here and Frank, thank you, I am learning many things to do with my too much time on my disabled hands. I fear that going into Syria will hasten a global conflict that will make the things you have “brought to light” will be needed in the sooner than the later days. Again, thank you.
Amnesty and illegal immigration are going to destroy the voting process. So many things Obama is doing are intended to set the Devocraps up for lopsided voting due to their lying, cheating, and stealing votes…
Thank you for all the wonderful information you share! I want to know how to make water safe for drinking.
What has me FIGHTING mad is, as Sara Palin called them, the lame-stream media has any credibility. The lame-stream media should have – minus infinity credibility. But people still buy into and believe their warp. Whether the subject is the economy, global warming, president O’bummer scandals(NSA, IRS, Bengazi, forced health insurance etc). I don’t like calling it Obama care because where government is concerned. Watch out!!! ObamaCare, what a misnomer?! Like i just wrote, it isn’t health care at all. But back on point, why is the lame-stream media still believed by anyone at all????!!!!!! Oh and as far as fear goes don’t have any because i am so angry…when you have nothing you have nothing left to lose!!! I am tired of government, just shut it down.(Except for the US military)
Hi Vickie, My name is Steve. I have the same problem finding like minded females my age. Many have not a clue or care about preping. You may want to check out Live Free online. They have a great organization with many good people. I’ve been a member for 4 years and learn something new every meeting. Look them up online to see if they have a local chapter near you. Good luck in the hunt for help. Steve N.
How do we manage to get so many stupid people all in one place at the same time? You guessed it, I’m talking Washington, DC, in case anyone is wondering. You would think there might be a few intelligent enough to put a stop to all this nonsense but no, the beat goes on. Will it take a Revolution here in this country to put an end to it all? I am sure I am not alone in thinking these kinds of thoughts at this point.
All we have are lies, lies, and more lies plus cover-ups that are called Phony Scandals. Tell that to the guys who gave their lives in Bengazi and to their families. I’m sorry but do none of them have the B…s to stand up and not be afraid of the consequences. They are getting paid to do what exactly? Not sure I am understanding this correctly. We are brainwashed from the beginning into believing that these great intelligent men are working to take care of OUR COUNTRY and what a let done to see that all they do is push papers, make up lies and never bring a dam thing back to the American people to satisfy our concerns and give us piece of mind.Does everyone know that our Military people are not dying in vain to save a country that is out of control its own self, with an idiot at the wheel.
Do you think they might be monitoring this? Well, more power to them if they think they can take away MY FREEDOM’S. I am sick and tired and tired and sick of being taken over by WHO? Put God back into our world if He will come back and get these Devil followers out for good. We left it happen and now it is time we get back in the saddle and do something to fix it.
Hey GEORGE, You need to stand up guy!
I’m not sure if you’ve covered this before, but I’m convinced it fits within your scope of potential subjects.
You asked above, what’s made me go ‘… me & Smith & Wesson…’ ballistic, or [never mind] punk[s], [you’ve] ma[d]e my day!!’ Let me fill you in, while my ‘white hot steaming anger’ is still venting like the cooling chambers of a nuclear plant.
I just read an article about a photographer in New Mexico, who refused to call a lesbian ‘agreement’ a marriage. The blasted d_k_ went elsewhere for ‘it’s’ clothed ‘porn ceremony’ pics, but sued the first photographer 6600 bucks. Now, the judges say that a damn ‘state’ law, under an abomination signed by ‘queerbama’ must overrule the -formerly- Constitutionally protected inalienable rights to freedom of religion, as well as the pursuit of happiness – which for ‘Elane Photography’ meant, in part, NOT having to be grossed out by sodomite lesbians.
Can you tell I’m going ‘super nova’ over this? Please tackle this queer issue, you will have the support of one who knows that even where these pushy, arrogant, nasty people seem to move in to invade us -like ‘pink & black Hitlers’-, God is able to remove them, like He did the Egyptian army, the 23,000 in the wilderness, etc.
Seriously, if any of these militant, ‘in-your-face’ sodomites try to hem me in, my absolutely unshakeable ‘mountain get into the sea’ prayer, will plead with God to treat them as the Amalekites, or Sodom & Gomorrah, except they turn from their forceful & abominably offensive ways.
My concern is the debt of the U.S. with no clear signs it’s going to get better. If the U.S. monetary collapse happens, as I believe will happen then, we are headed into a mad max era. There will be a complete breakdown of law and its going to get bloody. The policy makers are starting to figure out that our borrowing ability has run it’s course and we have NO way of paying it back. The Asians and Europe don’t want to help anymore but, who could blame them. We have allowed our politicians to ignore the Constitution and run rampant with OUR money. We are turning slowly into a socialist country and the “Dumbed Down” support it. Progressiveness is just another word for socialist. I do NOT support Republicans or Democrats because they are the ones who have got our country into this situation. We have a world who hate us for no other reason than we are Americans. If one of those types get hold of nukes then we’re all in trouble. The weather is now something we have to be weary of. The bottom line is I believe we’re in for one hell of a ride and not all will survive.
what I want isn’t illegal, its not hate speech, and the liberals wont like it
Why is the U.S. backing enemies of our ally Israel? Are we now Nazi Germany and support anyone who says “death to Israel?” Since when do we allow this? An E.O. 2 wks ago broke the law in allowing recent monetary aid to Hamas to be used for military equipment – this violation is what put people in jail for Iran-Contra. I’ve written my congressman. Like the comment below, why is this criminal still in office? My House rep. writes to me that he is fully aware of 20 criminal acts by Obama. THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT TO AMERICA!
just like George I worry that what I have to say will make me a target
I have lot’s of fears: 1. loss of freedom (all). 2. loss of private property. 3. loss of my money. 4. loss of my country to whoever, wherever. 5. executive orders. 6. having a president that is a non citizen. 7. obamacare. 8. voting that does not matter such as now. 9. crimanals running this country (as they are now), and not being brought up on charges. 10. drones. 11. IRS. 12. NSA. 13. EPA. The total destruction of this nation.
Many things of concern, but have been trying to find reliable information about what to do when/if solar flares cause a total blackout of all electric/electronic tools, machines, vehicles, etc. This may have been covered by you previously, but it would be good to have a replay, if so.
Will batteries, wires, etc., be affected if not connected? It is my understanding that batteries will explode, wires will melt, and pretty much everything fried. A few weeks ago, it was said that an event came so very close to the earth that cell phones (experienced this personally) began sending messages, making phone calls, and other processes, without human control.
Thank you for any information and help you are able to provide.
My fear is an out of control government with no regard for the law. Lock and load.

I would like to see all politicians having to take polygraph tests on all deals they are aligned with. This would bring down the shady deals they make due to greed, etc.
I’m a type one diabetic and I have no thyroid. Because of these two conditions, I am reliant upon insulin, thyroid hormone, syringes, blood glucose strips, batteries for my glucose meter, and my glucose meter. I’ve been able to start storing up everything I would need except for the insulin and thyroid hormone. These are prescriptions and I can only get them filled so often. Do you have an article on storing up prescriptions that you could direct me to? If not, any suggestions? Thanks so much.
Deficit spending has probably taken our country beyond the ability to recover. Historically every republic ever formed (and there have been a number) has failed when deficits have gotten past ability to repay..
I like the topics the others have brought up but I would like to know how to avoid the GMO products. There are a lot of the out there and I guarantee that not all the companies are admitting that food they carry contain GMO. The other topic that bothers me is bioterrorism there have been a lot of experiments weaponizing and making viruses and bacteria in the name of protecting the people. At one point this may have been true now its just more bullshit coming from the mouths of dirty greedy politicians. My family first landed in the US in 1645. We also signed the Declaration of Independence, it turns my stomach and really pisses me of the way this government is and has been. Its time for serious charges I.e treason. And serious change. The only way for that is for the American people to make up out of the comma that most live in and realize that they are not on the peoples side EVER.
Home land security is my biggest fear. They came intomy home late last year on the pretense of checking my computers for child pornography! (I’m a 62 yo female). My son was the real reason for being in militia. They confiscated my desk top (brand new) and although I filled out the proper paper work to rclaim it, they have not returned it. I’m on disability and cannot afford to buy another desk top.
I would like to know more on installing solar panels
Is anyone looking for a prepping partner?
Hello! I know this is going to seem unusual but I’m curious to give it a try.
I’m a 59 year old, attractive and active woman who is looking for the same in a man to partner up with to prep and prepare. I don’t want to do all of this alone, even if I could.
The dating sites don’t have like minded men in this area and have a lot of predators and scammers. At least on this site, I know that we will at least be on the same the page. Thank you in advance for all of your comments/suggestions.
Sincerely,
VIckie
Hi Vickie,
I also have the same dificulty trying to find a female who has the same mind set as I do. It seems there are so many people who just don’t get it. I am going to check the site that Steve recommended and see if there is a local near my home. Good luck in your search.
Hello Vickie, You seem legit and wish you the best. Five years ago I met a similar friend who soon became my wife. We prep, save, preserve, etc and believe me, we are ready for any disaster, from weather, war, economic shutdown…. I could teach someone searching for survival a few pointers, as I’m retired and have time for computer talking. Good to see some people don’t think preppers are not nut cases. I don’t know if yahoo would give you my address. henryrroop
Is swimming pool water ok? I have purification tablets. Your thoughts.
Best crops growing techniques, and seasons for southeast Texas?
How much food needed for 9 people until crops can harvest? I have seeds.
How to fortify my home without looking like it?
How to deal with starving neighbors?
How to avoid the authorities and FEMA camps?
Best barter items?
Best way to buy silver and/or gold?
Should I put some cash at home? In a safe deposit box? If the dollar collapses, will the money be any good? What will be good?
Should my investments be in money markets, stocks, bonds, cd’s? What flavor?
Best solar generator? I have a Yeti 1250 and (8) 30″ panels.
here while back you said you thought about buying portable building putting all equipment in it so all you had to do hook to house what happen
“ALL CAPS.” WHY IS OBAMA STILL CALLING HIMSELF THE PRESIDENT ? I AM A RETIRED SENIOR RANKED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. I HAVE A PERSONAL LIST OF HIM COMMITING (AS OF 3 WEEKS AGO) 92 FELONIES AND SO MANY MISDEMEANORS AND VIOLATIONS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION AND HUNDREDS OF UNDERHANDED FINANCIAL DEALINGS, CONTRIBUTION WRONG DOINGS AND ON AND ON. IMPEACHMENT IS WAY TO GOOD FOR HIM. HE NEEDS TO BE CHARGED AND HAVE MEMBERS FROM EACH BRANCH OF THE MILITARY “WALTZ” INTO HIS IVORY TOWER (OVAL OFFICE), STAND HIM UP, FRISK HIM, HAND CUFF HIM AND ARREST HIM AND PHYSICALLY REMOVE HIM. HE NEEDS TO GO “WITHOUT” ANY, WHAT SO EVER BENEFITS OF ANY KIND. I FIGURE A MINIMUM SENTENCE OF AT LEAST 25 YEARS TO A MAXIMUM OF LIFE IN PRISON @ HARD LABOR, LIKE MAYBE FT. LEONARDWOOD, KY. NOW THERE IS MY CHOCOLATE SUNDAE, NOW FOR THE CHERRY ON TOP. INVITE SHERIFF JOE FROM ARIZONA TO GO IN WITH THE MILITARY AND THEN CALL “ONLY” FOX NEWS TO COVER THE PERP WALK FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO AN OLD BEAT UP RUSTY PADDY WAGON. THEN ISSUE WARRANTS FOR THE ENTIRE TRIBE OF HIS SO CALLED STAFF AND LET’S NOT FORGET MICHELLE. SHE IS GULTY OF A SMALLER NUMBER OF FELONIES, BUT STILL NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED AND BOOKED LIKE BO AND “FOX” CAN HAVE THE EXCLUSIVE ON THAT ALSO.
THAT IS MY LIST, BECAUSE IN THIS MESS I JUST WROTE, ERIC HOLDER IS IN THERE AND MANY MORE.
THANK YOU, NOW YOU KNOW WHAT PISSES ME OFF.
How about things to store for food shortages on a small outlay of money, getting rid of OBAMACARE- the biggest mistake he made, retirement- protecting yourself while on the internet, etc, etc,
After I’ve spent a lot of time, money and effort preparing my family for whatever disaster or other calamity occurs, I fear some hooligans will come by and try to take what I need to survive. You can put in solar, construct a hydroponics setup, plant a garden, store water and food only to have it vandalized or stolen……that’s my biggest fear. America seems to becoming a very scary place to live, especially in times of stress or disaster.
I think several issues need to be discussed in depth, first, food supplies that are cost effective. The next is that we all know that there is power in numbers what plans are there out that might facilitate this or is there in any information that addresses this issue. Thank you.
Lee Braddock
What scares me most is being hungry, because that’s how I grew up. I’m not a successful gardener, and since I’m older than most of your readers, the solution needs to be simple.
There are so many possibilities, each one scarier than the last, ranging from blood in the streets, (for any of several reasons), no food or medicine, atomic “event” ranging from a dirty bomb to a high-altitude burst wiping out the entire power grid, (not to mention computers in cars, people with pacemakers – like myself – and long-term contamination… and the list goes on and on. If I had to make a choice as a disabled person in my 70’s, I guess I’m most concerned about when a $100 bill is worth toilet paper – literally! I don’t have the money to be a prepper, but I am hoping to sell long-term survival foods for a LOT less than MRE’s and other “prepper foods” – you could use them for daily meals – just add water and heat – and it would only cost a little more than buying food in a grocery store! I’m not a salesperson, but if I can’t sell THIS, all hope is about gone!
There are too many things that get my blood to boiling. I am not able to pick one. I will state this politicians say the illegal immigration is complicated. Yeah right!!!
The illegal immigration problem can be solved!
Here is my solution:
Deny all benefits (incentives) to all illegal immigrants.
Have a point where all immigrants are documented. Whether you come here by land, water, or air. That is what Ellis Island was used for.
Amend the 14 amendment. No more anchor babies.
Establish English as the official language of the United States.
I would create a National ID card with the person’s picture, their finger print, a barcode with their SS#, address, DOB along with a hologram that cannot be duplicated which has to be presented by anyone to any law enforcer when asked. This is for your own protection, not to intimidate you. You would be issued one after you took the oath and become a citizen.
All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed entrance!!! Asylum would never be available to anyone.
If you are caught aiding, abetting, renting, or hiring an illegal immigrant you will be fined $25,000 and 1 year in jail. 2nd time, $50,000 fine and 5 years in jail.(mandatory)
I would let it be known if you are caught sneaking across our border you will be shot and your body will be tossed back across the border dead or alive or by parachute over your homeland.
Yeah yeah I know there are people who are really against the shooting part, but if a couple of the trespassers are shot and wounded (not killed) thrown back across the border and they THOUGHT we were shooting to kill, it would definitely send a loud and clear message to the rest to think twice before attempting to sneak across.
Bingo! problem solved. We would not have to spend taxpayers money to deport the illegals already here nor money to build a fence or wall. Compassion and understanding go just so far. If you knock on my door I will invite you in. If you try to sneak in or break in you will suffer the consequences!!!
Your ideas are similar to most of Americans but the problem is that the Politian’s & administration’s pockets would become empty.
I second Steve McNolty II, but include growing our own gardens and harvesting the seeds
Keep up the great work. I am starting to feel that I will be ready for short periods of trouble, food,power and of course protection. Anything else, up to the Blessed LORD!
I’ve read several peoples’ concerns: food, energy, safety, money, heath and healthcare, goverment oppression, etc. Everyone seeing the signs are preparing. One thing I don’t see is how to solve what’s taking place today and bring in a new tommorow. We all are basically just sitting back and getting ready. We see goverment tyranny being rammed down out throats. I’ve been introduced to book recently (you may have read or heard about it) it’s should supercede all preparation. It’s how we bring our country back to our Founding Father’s design. “They Fired The First Shot 2012” by A Friend of Medjugorje is about preparing but also “fixing” a broken nation. It’s wrote with a Catholic overtone but its for who believe our counrty was founded under one God. Its needs to be read all the way through, dont skip to the end. the book can be purchased at Amazon.com or Mej.com. We need not only to be ready but we also need a solution against the brewing tyranny against true patriots.
Government cover-up of extra-terrestrials (E-Ts) working on advanced weapons systems at Area 51 (NM) costing $billions at expense of tax payers off the books with no oversight by elected representatives. National Security told Eisenhower: weapons are in our national interest. Clean energy, food and medical advances were not, that they would destroy our fossil fuel based economy, and displease bankers and oil barons who run our country, not the elected representatives we blame for whatever they are paid or blackmailed by corporations to do, doesn’t matter which political party. Nixon objected. Military intelligence prevailed. JFK assassinated for trying to turn the clock back. No President has dared try that, since. Nixon tried it 20 years after being run out of office, killed within months, before reversal could be achieved. Offer of clean energy etc. still on the table.
Benevolent E-Ts protect us from Area 51 weapons systems, intended for use against us. Military intelligence not so intelligent after all nor are we for blindly accepting that we should be continually at war. Save World for Democracy? Couldn’t even save it for ourselves. China offered what Ike turned down over Nixon’s objections (rudely shouted down), to do what U.S. could have done.
Hey Hey
I bought your off grid series and i’m working on that!
Want to know what scares me, huh. Well Obama scares me. It scares me that the American people have sunk so low as to think this is a good man. Don’t they realize that tthe people he is putting in control are “Muslim Brotherhood”..
What else scares me? I’m scared that we’ll end up with Hillary Clinton. This woman is ruthless and I’m thinking she is smarter than O’bama.
Third I am afraid that our America is gone. I mean the America where a man could go and do his whatever without the Government. When I was young I started a business with a thousand dollars and a borrowed motorcycle. I worked hard and built a brand in the Welding Industry as a Machine repair company. I expected to retire and live large on the fat. It’s was all true, the American Dream, except someone got off with most of the fat. I’m retired but I don’t live large.
Most retired people I would say 90% live on social security and no savings. If you can come up with ways that will help people like me with very little money, would help. Thank and keep up the good work.
I would like to find out how to get property very inexpensively so I can be more self-sustainable. Right now I’m the only one in my family that is working. (The others have been “downsized”) So we are living very frugally. No extra money for much of anything. We are renting right now. We are lucky enough to have a small space for a garden and we a few chickens. But I would like to know how to find someplace with more acreage to actually buy.
What iritates me the most is the “criminal” actions of the FDA, AMA, CDC and USDA for refusing to do what their charter indicates as in actually protecting and controlling food quality instead they are deeply in the pockets of big pharma, big agra business and big oil. These corporations completely control all decisions in government relating to their businesses. Also, any doctor who actually cures their patients with food and other natural substances instead of following the rediculous narrow minded protocal allowed is driven out of business or even arrested, what a travisty. Natural supplements are constantly under attack most likely because they help people avoid dangerous, expensive drugs.
What I would like to hear about and discuss is; our food supply, the FDA, the agricultural administration, and health of the people. There is a lot of science showing that; grain, legumes, sugar, and dairy are terrible for human consumption, many studies show the elimination of these foods reduce symptoms of autoimmune diseases, reduce cancer risks, reduce the need for pharmaceuticals and much, much more. These are the foods making us sick yet they are the most abundant and highly recommended foods. Why are we being mislead and where can we find the truth?
I am a survivalist but not a right winger. I believe our country succeeded through collaboration and mutual community support; my family came here on the Mayflower. Amish, Quakers (my group) and the great awakening in the late 1800’s brought independent minded folks together creating communities all across the vast west. Much of that effort is mis-read and mis reported in a million ways. If you want your blog to be helpful I suggest less diatribe and more just tribe !
Best Regards,
David Culver
Great idea…..but, true collaboration comes when both sides have
a common goal just different ways to get there……. not one side with
a radical agenda to destroy………………..and control
obamacare, not going to be able to afford mortgage if my company is forced to put me on part time work
i believe I’m most upset over allowing illegal immigrants have benefits including citizenship. It’s garbage. They snuck over, the majority of them do not make any attempt to learn their new country’s language; those that do feel they are special.
Garbage. They are not special. To the person, they should be shipped back and made to repay to the United States of America every penny they got from this government.
I’m not into all the end-of-the-world stuff. What I’m looking for is REVIEWS of all the best products for surviving without utilities, namely: the best, cheapest, and safest WATER STORAGE; GENERATORS: the most efficient and quiet, running on propane or LNG, water-cooled/air-cooled; REFRIGERATORS and A/C UNITS that run on propane or LNG; COOKING: Woodburning cookstoves, or converting ordinary ranges to propane or LNG; HOT WATER: the most efficient gas boilers (propane, natural gas, LNG) and alternative methods for heating water for bathing and also for floor heating, such as wood burning boilers or corn-fed boilers; Windmills/wind-turbines/generators and systems, and the DC to AC inverters that are needed to make them useful, and the BATTERIES for storing their power; and of course solar panels.
People need to get real: What matters most is to have your life inconvenienced as little as possible when things fail. The basics of life are drinking water, keeping your refrigerated and frozen food from spoiling, being able to cook your food, keeping warm in the winter and cool in the summer, having hot water to bathe in, and electricity for all our conveniences. PRACTICAL PRODUCTS and reviews, PLEASE!!!
My God! It is an advertisement for the end on humanity. An end of life on earth. My God I am dumfounded as to the implications of it. Is this where agenda 21 is taking humanity? You dress it up as the savior of mankind when in fact it is the end of it. Fools insane fools.

I would like info on how to get off the grid with little financial outlay. using recycled items ?
I am concerned about the economy and fear that we will drive off the cliff without any warning. I am fighting mad that the Obama administration is eavesdropping on our conversations – as well as monitoring our emails – and postings on Facebook. I’m disgusted with the mainstream media being “in the tank” for Obama, despite the scandals.
But, I’m most concerned that we will become a one-party system because Republicans, Conservatives, et al, are too wrapped up in being ‘right’ rather than being ‘smart’. One chooses to win the battle, the other to win the war but we – collectively – are too foolish to discern the difference. The America that I grew up in is quickly slipping away. I put the majority of the blame for this directly at the feet of the left-leaning US media.
A refreshing note – ever hear of the cable station RT? Me neither until this weekend. RT is “Russia Today” where Obama is not adored or revered, but appears on first glance to at least give us another viewpoint. I am going to wait and watch as to other information they report on. I think that it would give Power-4-Patriots one more media source to consider. You asked – so I told.
I have a small farm, need a tractor, however with the Executive Order for the government to be able to seizes all farms and farm equipment in war or in peace, makes me leery about making the investment. Since I do grow my own vegetables what are the best ways of preserving my harvest. Canning isn’t really an option for me.
Have not had time to see all that you’ve sent my way. My work schedule is packed. I would like to know where to buy the solar cells to assemble into a solar panel. Radio Shack used to sell some small ones. What other electronics outlets handle them? Denis
hydropontics, aquaponics and how they work for limited space or some that has diabilities.
Happy 4th Of July
Ours was once the land of abundance
where everyone shared a common theme.
If you finished school and worked real hard,
you earned keys to the “American Dream”.
What’s happening to our Bill of Rights
and United States Constitution?
Can you imagine “hope ‘n change”
leading to our final solution?
A Progressive wind blows o’er this land,
redistributing American wealth
to unions and special interests
with unethical cap-and-trade stealth.
Uncle Sam spends discretionary billions
and leads generations deeper in debt.
If climate change myth is not a hoax
why hasn’t science affirmed it yet?
Progressives buy their majority to declare,
“World-class healthcare required we tweak it!
Rather than address only what’s broken,
Senate changed it all, after dark and in secret”.
We’ve been told “our great leader”
will ease healthcare reform frights
by assuming the role of God, Almighty,
and bestowing us with social rights!
Elected officials feign immunity
to dire consequences of tax-and-spend.
Can they tax-away middle-America
without risking their own wealth in the end?
They force us to finance abortions
or face hard-time in federal jail!
When procedural motions are debated
conservative free-will tends to pale!
We’re urged to use Progressive prisms
to reinvent our nation’s rich past,
revise our proud American History
and become “politically corrupt” at last.
If we don’t like our nation’s direction
it’s Congress that deserves ovations!
Cease discretionary federal spending
before earning coveted donations!
Who can ignore these eternal words
that encourage souls to live free
“What you do to the least of my brethren
you do also to me!”
Replace Progressive Senators & Czars
with Conservatives of more noble cause,
committed to Constitutional ideals
and repeal of un-American laws.
National Defense Resources Preparedness
enhances Homeland Security protection,
enables declaration of martial law
and facilitates patriotic dissection!
At least remember the 4th of July
with American pride, not tears.
Religious freedom and free-will
dwelled on earth for 232 years!
This is the new United States of America
where Abundance, endowed by our Creator,
is replaced with Scarcity as the “new normal”
and humanity become decreasing relevant to Caesar!
William Cooper
I am thoroughly disgusted with Congress, the president, the attorney general and every lying politician that professes to want to improve what is wrong with this country. Actually, they are what is wrong and getting rid of ALL of them would be a good start. John Boehner is such a weak kneed pussy cat, I can’t stand it. The Senate minority leader talks big and does nothing to help the US against the biggest lying hypocrite ever elected to office with voter fraud. I could go on and on, but that doesn’t help. I know this is not the kind of feedback you are looking for, but I am so fried with the government, I can’t see straight.
Being a new subscriber- this may be a subject you have already covered. Food preparation….what is the best way a person can do for himself – dehydrated, canned, packaged, etc.- rather than buying “emergency food”?
Over the past 3 months, I’ve subscribed to 4 financial advisor sites, as well as your organization.
Now I find that EACH ONE of these sites is sending me between 3 and 8 emails A DAY, and my inbox is so loaded that I can’t read them all.
What angers me most is the email that suggests “click here for presentation”, and then you get a half hour of BS ending with an offer to sell you something you probably don’t want to buy.
I am about ready to shut down the whole bunch.
Articles on survival subjects, not all the fear mongering of the weird device that could wipe out 280 million Americans then try and sell them an ebook that will protect them or say the FDA is not protecting you from dangerous foods and then sell them an investment to make money off that premise.if you are trying to appeal to gullible people, I understand, that’s your business but i am not gullible and run a large civilian preparedness group and look for substantial thinks to help with a SHTF scenario, not a $4000 dollar Japanese water purifier that will be useless in the field. Just my thoughts. I also don’t need twenty emails a week trying to find out what i am scared of so you can sell me an E book. solid info is what i look for.
those lying thieves and banksters in D.C. is what gets me , their above the law ……I think we need to get the fox out of the hen house
I’ve loved the information you’ve been sharing about essentials during an emergency, but the EMP stuff is a little over the top. You talk about putting a few essential electronics in a homemade Faraday cage, but you also talk putting solar cells on you roof to ensure your power is independent of the grid in case of emergency. The PV cells you build your panels out of are semiconductors that will likely be fried in the event of an EMP. I’d really like to know what you would do for power in the event of an EMP. This isn’t meant as ridicule. I would really like to know your thoughts on that topic.
Frank: Keep up the good work. I would like continuing information about off grid living for the low-income person. We need help, too!! Thanks!
How do I sell power to the power co. When solar panels only put out 12 votes
I’d like to hear more about inexpensive ways to get organic, natural, and off the grid.
We have a government out of control. All of Washington needs to be fired and America restored. It keeps getting worse and they don’t seem to give a shit. What is wrong with the people of this country to allow this to go on for so long. All one has to do is read and watch what happens it should be a no brainer. Bull shit people need to go. When was the last time we fought a war that had a purpose? WW 2 I believe. I spent 3 years in Vietnam and still don’t get it.
Harold
Is it worth it to invest in our IRAs and 401(k)s anymore?? In fact, we have been trying to decide whether or not to withdraw everything and invest in self reliance? Food storage, seeds, solar/wind, etc… What do you think will happen to our stock market? It seems like if it crashes, it could be worse than ’29.
I find all your articles informative. But I don’t think I am going off grid or disappearing from the government roll, but it sounds interesting. I garden and try to be as self-sufficient as possible. I recycle everything I possibly can for future generations. I am concerned with China owning us and all the pollutants around. I am 65 and trying to stay healthy so I can play with my grandkids. We live in MD near our kids and probably won’t be moving anywhere soon unless the kids do. Thanks for your work.
i am most concerned about the fall of the american economy a nd thus the dollar.
i think in the long run we CAN ADJUST BUT THE SHORT TERM IS GOING TO
BE VERY UGLY.
Gun control for law abiding citizens and the way we are all being spied on (in the name for our safety? ) is my main concern. This government is out of control! In the last several elections I have not voted for ANY incumbent. Being elected is not a life long position nor a given reason to lie. I fully believe that all politicians are like a diaper. They need to be changed often!
I’m wondering what some of the good reading materials are that would help prepare mentally and physically for potential crises. I’ve read PATRIOTS by James Wesley, Rawles and am in the middle of ATLAS SHRUGGED by Ayn Rand (to get a better handle on the mentality we are seeing in today’s society). I have several good survival guides and several books on plants and animals. Of course I read various blogs online to get other ideas. What else is out there?
I have no doubt that this has been around much longer than that and we are just coming out with it. In fact, I believe this is one of many, many such weapons and they are not the only country that has it and/or is involved with it.
A government troll is monitoring my communications at all times. Trying their best to destroy me.
Frank,
Shut UP. :o)
I have subscribed to your newsletter, received and watched the DVD’s.
So, Stop ‘selling’ me. . There is a rule in sales that says “When the customer says ‘Yes’, shut up.” I said yes, made my first purchase, now I am interested in what you have to teach me AND, what you have to sell. So stop pitching me with every email.
A suggestion: Give me and your paid subscribers a password we can use to bypass the sales pitches at the beginning, so we can go directly to each new video or ‘catalog’ of products.
I have got how to prepare down. What scares me is Mobs. I really don’t want to be in a position standing off a mob. I will always try and help someone in need but when all hell breaks loose. I don’t know. It will not be nice. I think moving to the boondocks or having a well stocked hideout may be the answer. Get out of the cities. The UN Agenda 21 wants all people to live in cities to better control them. Wilderness will be wilderness Cities will be packed with people dependent on the powers that be. Maybe I’m out there a bit but everything is possible. It could turn Mad Max quick. Plan for the worst and hope it does not get that far. I recently reread Brave New World by Aldous Huxley I read it when I was 16 and again at 69 Reading it through I hope wiser eyes was a treat. There are a lot of normal thinking people out there. So I think God for that Peace to all
When people began to live in communities, and most of us do whether we realize it or not, they needed certain services such as protection, safety, or anything else that they, as a group, could not or would not provide. They gave up a certain amount of personal liberty in exchange for allowing others to provide these services. So the institution of a “government” was not a bad idea. It became necessary. So I believe that government has legitimate functions, but, when a government no longer provides the services for the people for which it was retained, then the people have a right to get rid of it and get a government that will provide those services as a government is supposed to do – for the benefit of the people, not itself.
Started growing tomatoes in large plastic containers. Wonder if squash would do well in same?
It’s makes me angry that we even have to be thinking about any of this at all. That is exactly what the founders of this country were attempting to avoid. Government intervention in the peoples ability to provide for themselves and their families, taxation and bull shit propaganda. The most distressing thing is seeing the numbers of idiots that actually believe these criminals.
Islam is here! My greatest fear is that Obama will accomplish his number one goal to establish an Islamic Republic (dictatorship) in America with sharia law in place of the constitution. He has come a long way in that direction already. Think for a moment what it would be like to live in one of the mid east Muslim countries. Did you know that there are several states who already have over one thousand mosques and the other states in the hundreds? Obama is a Muslim and the largest newspaper in Egypt claims to have proof that he is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, the group he is supporting in Syria with our tax money, and he has 6 members of the Muslim brotherhood in high positions in his administration. And he appointed a recent convert to Islam to head our CIA. Yes, Obama claims to be a Christian and I’ll explain why. One Muslim doctrine called “Taqiyya” allows, and sometimes commands, Mslims to lie. There are 5 situations when they will lie, first and formost is to forward the cause of Islam. Do you think Obama could have been elected running as a Muslim, his true “faith”? That’s the reason he ran as a Christian and now he is doing everything in his power to destroy Christianity in America. I won’t cover the other 4 circumstances here.
Thanks for all the info you have provided and continue to provide to all of us. I like one of the other posts, in that they suggest creating a list of similar-minded people in the same area who can possibly work together in getting us “off the grid.”
I’m fortunate to have within 5 minutes, two of my sons. One is an electrical engineer and the other is a former Army Ranger who can build and make things from “nothing.” I provide the funding and the “coordinating management” aspect….ha!
I would really like to know who else in my area might be working on these projects. I’m sure it can get into a privacy issue, but if the option to join such a group were available, then only those who wanted to would be able to contact others….. just a thought. Thanks, again!!
Yes, we need community organizing for our God given rights.
My biggest fear is that by sharing my thoughts with anyone online will be sharing them with an oppresive govt.
I agree. I personally don’t know anyone who trusts our government. Something must be done about BIG BROTHER.
I love all the info I have been receiving. Being informed about current world events and constitutional changes/amendments, etc is vitally important to me….as it should be for all Americans. I would like more tips for how to be/get prepared on a single family income. There are lots of great ideas for getting off the grid, storing and preparing items….but often they are costly and difficult to afford for anyone with more than 1-2 children. I have a large family. If you have tips of how to reuse and salvage things, for prepping and getting off the grid, those ideas would be great!
Thanks.
The one thing weighing heaviest on my mind is, of course, money. I have spent many years saving (money that I wanted to use elsewhere), for my retirement, in 401-Ks and IRAs. Deep down I knew this was risky because our government lowlifes want nothing more than to latch on to our savings. I wonder what is the VERY best way to overcome this threat of Government theft!?! With the American economy slipping downhill at a constant rate, and the dollar being abused and degraded all the time, what is the best method to fight this threat? If I take out ALL my savings and hoard it somewhere, I fear it will be nothing more than worthless paper in months or even weeks to come. I recently rolled an IRA to gold, but is that even safe, and it’s a hassle to work with too. How bout you share your opinion on this issue?
The most relevant question I have is the pending financial collapse. I don’t see how the economy can continue on as it has. With the banks and the goverment artifically supporting it how long can this go on?
Hi Frank,
I’ll tell you. GMO’s have me fighting mad. To think that my children are part of the “great experiment”. History tells us that if you can control the food you will win the war. We are in a war right now. I truly believe that the best ways to fight this battle (the food fight) is to grow our own food and buy from local people that we actually know. We are in the process of moving to the country so we can grow and raise our own food and trade with those who do likewise. We are documenting this process on http://www.journeytosurthrival.com There isn’t enough content yet for us to go live but there will be in a couple of weeks. Thanks for what you do.

I would like to see more on what I purchased you for in the first place: getting set up for off-grid power.
Maybe new solar/wind tips, supply sources, and even a forum for all us newbies trying to work through your instruction manual. Also, you don’t address work arounds when you HOA or city govt puts up obstacles to off-grid living.
I have purchased or subscribed to other survival focused groups, each with it’s own specialization. Needless to say, I delete crossover emails from P4P, as already getting info from experts in their individual fields.
And your “buy this” emails are really starting to get on my nerves. Stop it!
Just a note to thank you for all the useful survival information and inform you of a
Here is a poem a wrote regarding our current situation.
We may not have to wait much longer!
——————————————————————————–
State of the Union
Ours was once the land of plenty
where everyone shared a common theme.
If you finished school and worked real hard,
you earned keys to the “American Dream”.
What’s happening to our Bill of Rights
and United States Constitution?
Can you imagine “hope ‘n change”
leading to our final solution?
A Progressive wind blows o’er this land,
redistributing American wealth
from wage-earners to special interests
with unethical cap-and-trade stealth.
Uncle Sam spends discretionary billions
and leads generations deeper in debt.
If climate change myth is not a hoax
why hasn’t science affirmed it yet?
Progressives buy their majority to declare,
“World-class healthcare requires we tweak it!
Rather than address only what’s broken,
“We’ll change it all, after dark and in secret”.
We’ve been told “our great leader”
will ease healthcare reform frights
by assuming the role of God, Almighty,
and bestowing us with social rights!
Elected officials feign immunity
to dire consequences of tax-and-spend.
Can they tax-away middle-America
without risking their own wealth in the end?
They want us to finance abortions
or face hard-time in political jail!
When procedural motions are debated,
constituent free-will tends to fail!
We’re urged to use Progressive prisms
To reflect upon our nation’s rich past . . .
to alter true American history
and become “politically corrupt” at last.
If we don’t like our nation’s direction
It’s Congress that deserves ovations!
Cease discretionary federal spending
before earning coveted donations!
Who can ignore these eternal words
that encourage souls to live free
“What you do to the least of my brethren,
you do also to me”?
Replace Progressive Senators & Czars
with Conservatives of more noble cause . . .
committed to Constitutional ideals
and repealing un-Constitutional laws.
“National Defense Resources Preparedness”
will this E.O. solidify Obama’s re-election,
enable him to impose “martial law” at will
and accelerate American dissection?
At least remember the 4th of July
With American pride, not tears.
Religious freedom and free-will
dwelled on earth for 232 years!

is there any pre built systems for wind generation that will produce a large amount and testing devices to even see if it is worth putting wind power in
Hi Frank I just purchased you videos and am very excited about it.I live in Arizona where the sun and wind are in an abundance so it will be extremely beneficial for my family to do this.The reason I’m posting this is I to am tired of the way this country is going the fat cats in the corporate world are tearing this country apart and Washington is holding the door open for them to do it.I recently lost my job because of corporate B.S. and haven’t been able to find another one for awhile I’m hoping this helps ease the stress a little.Plus it would feel great to stick it to the big power companies for once.Thank you again for taking a stand for us little guys.
I am interested in most of the topics on preparedness and have the power for patriots book. I have the DVD but cannot view it as my computer is not windows so it can’t read it. As a senior w/o family to help- they can’t seem to see what’s happening- I’m glad for the things you publish I can use. I will likely be stuck in my home when it hits the fan so would like to know of some home defense strategies an older person can affect . Thank you.
Frank
I am interested in Solar applications, Wind Applications and various heating possibilities. I subscribe to enough publications dealing with growing your own, living off the land and building energy efficient homes and I have homesteaded for 35+ years.
I’m not into Obama – bashing since it appears he is at least doing a better job then the Bush family did, and it appears to me he was a better presidential candidate than his competition both last term and this term. As to assault rifle issues and possible bans – what idiot uses them for hunting anyway? Come-on, give the animals a fighting chance! – just give criminals fewer loopholes available in court trials. Not guilty due to insanity should NOT be a legal defense for murder!
You asked …enough said!
The answer to all 3 questions for me is the size and state of intent of our government. I lack confidence in our younger generation to maintain the original intent of our forefathers. This country is no longer the home of free people. Our children have been conned into a train of thought that they will be taken care of if they just go along with the program. I believe our freedoms and way of life are hanging by a thread. God help us all and people be prepared.
The economy continues to slide further in the hole but it appears the rate is increasing. My feeling is that I started to prepare to late. Power is going to be a major concern for me. We currently live in a townhome so options to make corrections are limited. We are currently looking at moving farther north (live in Minnesota) which will give us far more options. Have begun to stockpile based on the lists you provided.
I think once the collapse occurs there will be many years of civil unrest. Far to many people are living off the govenment and they will be looking for everything from someone else. I can see another civil war in our future. This time it will be between the have and have nots. I hope I am wrong but do not think so. You can see it all over the world when people do not have the basics they will do anything to get it.
How do we find like minded people in our area. A group working together is stronger then individuals trying to do everything alone. Especially if money is an issue. Some of us may have what others need and can share.
Water is my first concern. Realizing that u get a lot of replies, how do I keep the water in my cistern clean(germ and mold free). I have experimented with collecting dew, successfully. Ammo is another worry. Rumor has it that the Gov., is buying it up!!? I have a hunting slingshot. While it is not as fast a a gun, it will do the damage of a 308., for food of course. Up here in Canada the other worry is keeping warm. I grew up in the area around Georgian bay and have experience living like the natives did befor the light bulb. Millions have no idea what the is all about. Also my collection of seed is growing!! Oh to have the money to build an in-ground home! Thank for your work and u and yours have a nice day eh!
Frank,
I would like to hear more about Serco. Serco is the huge government contractor winning all the contracts that effectly take away much of our privacy.
Take Care,

Frank,
I would like to hear about any products being developed to deter biometric scanning. As I understand it soon everyone will be required to do a biometric screening before they are authorized to work. It will be as definite as an I-9 having to verify you are authorized to work in the U.S. before an employer can employ you.
Take Care,

dave rankin is typical of how the gvt and the ngo fed has misinformed us….
a. gvt does not print money ..it lost that right in 1913
b. we would have no debt if gvt printed money..how can you go into debt if you can print your own money ????????????????????? ans : you can’t …bankstards have bribed their private central bank into existence and are swindling the country and the world profoundly
fyi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNumEm2NzQA
mark’s question is a big one …as long as the bankstards control the central bank aka the “fed” no more federal than fedex, we are in trouble.. the fed was bribed into effect in 1913 and has had the monopoly franchise to print federal reserve notes and use them to buy u s bonds …u s bonds are an abomination ..they should not be permitted …no gvt should borrow by selling t bonds …gvt should print money not bonds ! ! ! ! we cits have to pay for the bonds that gvt sells to buy dollars from the criminal syndicate aka the “fed” ….
if the atm/ credit card quits we are in the dumper…i think solar panels are the immediate plan B..with a solar you can keep warm …cook …run a dehumidifier and get water …..next would be aquaponics; next a well…then weapons ; meds ; etc
Below, Tiamet Grey gave the opinion that we must rally intelligent folks to save our country.
I have wondered how to explain to/educate those who don’t or cannot see what is happening. It is not just Obama, who has Agenda 21 on steroids compared to Bush who signed us onto it. It is not Clinton who claimed a surplus when he merely used two sets of books to prove it. Nor Reagan who started ‘borrowing’ the Social Security ‘Trust’ Fund and Bush Jr who cleaned out the last of it after all in between used it to try to stem the red ink of their administrations.
Now we have a ‘Federal’ Reserve printing money out of thin air.
How can we educate the 52% to realize that the Government is acting like a drug dealer? It gives out free ‘stuff’ that will eventually cost EVERYONE. Even the addicts!
Those in the governments are in it for the POWER not for the PEOPLE. How do we stop preaching to the choir and start getting to the rest?!
Frank – Lets just say I hope you are wrong and that people come to their senses. With any luck, I’ll never see it, but I fear for my daughters.
We can see all the signs of the Economic collapse. My question would be when/should this happen, how long would you anticipate the recovery would take? We have heard it could last 3 months to 3 years or even up to 10 years. What would your best projection be?
With your programs we are becoming more self sufficient and have a greater confidence in our ability to survive whatever may come. But with a greater longevity it may lead to other preparations. We may need to account for increasing security risks the longer an event may last.
As well as the concern of have access to water for an extended crisis.
Thanks for your thoughts.
The main thing that concerns me Frank, is the way obamattollah and his cronies are taking our country down the tube. We are close to losing the dollar being the world standard. I have seen some websites that no longer accepts the dollar. Exactly what happened to Britain in the late forties and early fifties. Their country nearly went bankrupt from poor government policies, appeasing the unions an d driving the cost of living sky high . That’s when the dollar took over. People don’t realize the consequences if we lose that status, or don’t really believe it can happen to us. Our treasury has been ordered to just keep printing and the civilian boss is, naturally an obamaite. He’s allowing ragheads to run wild and is filling his cabinet posts with them. I think it was last week, an Islamic group complained about one of the most exemplary officers in our military, a man named Dooley I think it is, and obamatollah applied pressure on our stand-up Generals in the pentagon and they rolled over, making Dooley retire, after getting reprimanded. He taught a class on Islam and this group apparently didn’t like what he was saying.
What I’m getting at is, I think obamatollah is trying to push us into bankruptcy and fighting in the streets, as one of my intelligence sources said three terrorist strike groups have cut communications with their headquarters. This is the final stage of imminent action being unleashed on us. Also, the report said the Boston bombing had been planned for two years by this sleeper group. I’ve asked quite a few average Americans if they knew what a sleeper group is. Answers from No, to its people who have a sleeping sickness. I spent two tours in the Nam, was and still am, proud of my service, even though we were welcomed home by being accused of being the bad
guys. One thing these ragheads need to know, I’m sixty-four, but still capable of doing preventive medicine.
All these things are fine and dandy. The problem for me is the cost of.I am looking for ways to survive with little to no money.Its seems everyone is always trying to sell you things you don’t need that with further research you can find for free of the internet.I appreciate all the info and ideas i get off you’re e-mails.Just trying to survive Kevin
was in the hosptial for two weeks got out to learn what u had to show us
I have suspected for some time that big brother and big sister have been and are monitoring email and telephone traffic. Several years ago, I listened to a telecommunication expert speak about how a handset/wall phone in your home could be turned on remotely and used to listen in on conversations going on around it. Recently, a friend expressed the viewpoint that it was rediculous to think that a third party was listening to your private phone conversations. Today, that same friend, no-longer thinks it is rediculous, as he was talking with his elderly mother via land line telephones when they both heard someone else cough into another handset. No other telephones are installed in their houses. HHHhhhhmmmm….
I am interested is solar and I would like to know if our government is printing money because the US does not have money to pay our debts.
Frank,
While I have long been a propenent of solar systems, self-reliance, etc., I am not an apocalyptic doom-sayer nor a distruster of government. In fact, I am “patriot” enough to recognize that (generally) the duly elected government “of the people,for the people” does a damn good job.
The rantings of the Tea Party, anti-government folk, apocalyptic “dreamers” and the rest actually work contrary to the interests of the country, government, and the will of the people.
Your tips on self-reliance are (usually) excellent; I cannot buy into the poltiics behind them. Indeed, it was the 1960’s/70’s hippies and Whole Earth Catalogue that began the back-to-the earth movement as a result of concerns about climate change, sustainabilty, etc. Our “true patriots”??
All the best, and relax .. the world isn’t that bad. (Nor is our government!)

Info about EMP preparedness, will my generator work? what to do to harden or shield my equipment.
Frank,
On another topic:
I do like what you’re doing mate, altough I do not always agree with some comments made here; aspecially the ‘foreign’ policy ones. Frankly; you can only advice us and other people so much and I’m sure most of us can only finance little if anything for preparedness. Fact is: a lot of stuff and facts that you’re showing and discussing are quite different in other countries and ironically some of the materials have lately been classified as ‘sensitive materials’ and aren’t even available here due to US-Export restrictions! Personally; I’ve got other worrries to take care off first: me and my family have found ourselves in this basic ‘survival’ state that you are warning for, for quite a while here in Canada. In actual fact; within two years of entering this country as immigrants from another British Commonwealth Country. I’m a gunmaker by trade and due the very latest (1st of April 2013) US Arms export-sanctions put in place by your goverment and orchestrated by the Homeland Security council; it has now become impossible for us to import any gunparts whatsoever any longer: only hitting us hard that are working in this trade and no doubt I’ll be forced to shut down my little business in the very near future! Sadly; your countries measures will prove fruitless in the end: it will put your country and its tax-payers deeper in the hole then it already is and it will not affect the targeted ‘terrorist’ cells in any way, but just the lower working class people like us!
Good luck to all of you!
Ok, her’s an idea that I have toying w/ in my decaying grey matter between my ears, and was hoping that maybe you had some kind of insight. we know our nation is decaying, our youth practically have no respect for elders and have no discipline. It is in large part due to our pathetic education system, which was conquered by the federal gov’t when they created the dept of education and they took prayer out of public shools. It’s just me talking, but I think it’s high time we started taking our kids out of public school and started homeshooling on a very large scale. think of it: a network of neighborhood families teaching each other’s kids. let’s face it: NARAL, NOW, NAMBLA, and Planned Parenthood are not reproducing themselves(think about it) so if we cut off their resources, they will eventually die out. any thoughts?
Got one question, when are you going to answer my question.
You said you would answer later because of so many emails.
I asked that in the thing i bought from you, i thought i was going to get
hardcover or paper back books, all i got was a disc/disk.
Was you promol deceptive?
I think the most important thing that needs to be done to save our country is to somehow wake up the intelligent folks and rally them. We need to save our country not just prepare for destruction.
Well a nice FARADAY cage would be nice so as to save a radio and some other things from the EMP Pulse that will occur ( electronic parts that make your car run )
This is amazing interview with the ex Anti Corruption Lawyer at the World Bank. Karen Hudes. She has evidence for the reasons behind Currency War (japan), the Super Entity and State Capture (something that many people here already know of).

Please do not say “Happy Memorial Day” as it is not “Happy”…but a day of remembrance and mourning, initiated by Confederate women after our Civil War. One would not say “Happy Yom Kippur,” “Happy Good Friday,” or “Have fun at the funeral.” Please get it right if you are working for the Warriors.

Re: your email telling us that you gave $6,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project. Thank you so much! I want you to know that I also am a monthly contributor to that organization and am very happy that you followed our votes and gave the donation to them. They need the money due to the numbers of soldiers returning from war with arms, or legs, or other parts missing or maimed. Our contributions will mean so much to them as they try to get back to “the new normal” life they left behind them when they deployed. Thank you!!!!!
I am so angered at this Nations “fail status” on every level, pick a subject, any subject.!!! I am a man that wants peace, respect and hope for every man., and I see only deception, corruption and I refuse to listen to council of the Godless in this country. Our Country was once great until greed corrupted her. Our politicians are the untouchables at this point. I do need every logic you could offer.
Hi Frank,
I know the condision of the world is going to get much worse,never better.
My major consern is to be ready to get out of this world alive. I mean there

I just purchased your kit and I have some concerns about your system and how it will work in my situation.
I live in South Florida and have serious concerns about Hurricanes and being without power. We just moved here and the house is brand new and in a very nice community with rules and restrictions about landscaping. So my first concern is the “Associations” regulations about use of solar panes. My second concern is aesthetics my self. I was considering the only option of putting the solar panels on the roof in the back half of the house. Is it possible to install these panels with some degree of Hurricane resistance??????
Clay, here in TN we don’t have to worry about hurricanes. I would consult local experts about appropriate installation and your community’s regulations.

I feel that it is of utmost importance that fellow patriots should be able to cooperate to ensure the survival of the American people. I believe that this country needs change. A return to the ideals that founded this country and freed us all from tyranny.

Obama still being in the White House, Obama care, the down ward spiral that the country is in, the military and it’s budgeting and spending of funds. And the shit bag leaders that are still in the military.
drones, spies, chemtrails & GMO’s sneaking into our food supply sometimes without choice. I am puzzled why someone would want to spy on someone who’s life is relatively mundane??? Weird science!
I can’t be bothered with government bashing – even if at times it is deserved – after all we and the multinationals (that we all mainly praise) are the ones who voted these governments in / were too lazy to vote/ bribed them in through lobbying (ain’t capitalism great!!!). So, in a sense, we did it to ourselves and it’s no good playing the blame game although it does feel good to know that “it’s not my fault”………I suppose we all try and assess a set of circumstances and try to see how we can become more independent and self sufficient – at any time that is a good thing. But , with all the will in the world, sometimes individual circumstances don’t allow for that. Thank you for giving us useful info and look forward to reading further tips. Sue.
Kenny I feel it is because this country has become complaisant when it comes to the honorable men and women who have defended this country with their very life. Since 1776 Americans have given their lives for this great country up to present day. THAT’S NO EXCUSE! to forget about them and their courage. The President should be ashamed of himself in that he is the leader of our country and this is what he does?

I’m 65 yrs. old. Why must our kids be taught not to think and reason for themselves.When we need new ways of approaching problems such as the power shortage in the future.We need people who can find solutions.If we require them to think like us, they won’t find them.I have been researching and developing ideas on power amplification.By taking low voltage DC current and adding a high voltage, low current AC signal in series with the low voltage, high current current in the primary of a push-pull transformer.The AC voltage not only inverts the DC current to AC in the secondary of the transformer but also amplifies power to the output.The transformer primary winding is center-tapped and the DC current flows through a diode rectifier in a T bridge to each primary outside lead.The primary center-tap is connected to the ground of DC source.This circuit adds the AC voltage to the DC voltage in each half winding according to AC polarity. This circuit is based on the same principles of a voltage multiplier circuit (Cap.-Diode).This circuit is however a current multiplier circuit (L-C).If you want to know more please Email me.Thank you Cliff

My concern like most is the growing size/power of our government. Is it time We The People send the government a NEW Decloration of Independance. Most everyone I know is tired of paying for secrets and overpriced salaries for the “leaders” of our once great nation, which bother me. But my biggest concern is that we hand out Millions of dollars to foreign nations when we don’t have the money to pay our own bills. We live in sad times and makes me wonder if this country has a future at all.
My fear is Big Brother taking away our rights we currently have! Giving themselves more power and pay raises. I want to learn how our government “tricked us”, rigging the last election and Obama is still is president. Because I didn’t vote for him nor did anyone I’ve spoken too.
Loved the article on food storage could use more information on water storage/treatment please. Wonderful infor please keep it coming!
My biggest concern is the fed gov’t. over stepping its bounds and trashing the constitution – starting with the 2d amendment. In order to expand power the gov’t needs to dis-arm us. How to keep our firearms safely hidden…. the ramifications of refusing to turn over specific types of firearms.
Hurricane season is soon upon us marching alongside of a pending economic disaster. The need and techniques required for long tern self sustainability.
I WOULD TO HEAR ABOUT OBAMA BEING THROWN FROM OFFICE AND TARED AND FEATHERED AND SENT BACK TO AFRIKA ON HIS BROOM STICK
Hi Frank,
Yes. I’ve been reading about Your topics. My question is about the inverter and
battery charging. I’ve been reading about safe removal of hydrogen gases. It’s
interesting. Do You have anything to add. Cost for inverters.
I am a disabled Veteran. I draw a pension for my disability from when I was over seas in the 60’s but yet I had to keep going back for years to be able to get any kind of pension when the disability was right in my military records where I was hurt while serving my Country.
Frank, first off I want to tell I’m sorry for not keeping in touch . yesterday I just got back from surgery. been gone awhile. My concerns are this GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS is going down a deep hole. The people must STAND UP TOGETHER and SHOUT ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!! Our family has fought and died for this UNITED STATES of AMERICA in the civil war, spainish/ american war (even though our though our sir name is spainish ) , the war againist the boxers, WWI, WWII, KOREA , VIETNAM . Isn’t that enough! WE as a NATION SHOULD BE in better shape than this. With all POWER at our disposal, we should not have our people starving, homeless! Our phones, TV, internet,electric systems, gasoline , was so to be free by 1990. Told by our goverment in 1961. My concerns you ask,
Still reading all the information you have provided. Articles are well written and understandable. My first project is to build go bag for each vehicle, that way regardless what vehicle I take I don’t forget and leave the bag at home.
I am an American. When the government requested I go to VN to fight for the USA against communist aggression, I went and still suffer from injuries received but don’t complain as I felt that we must suffer to protect our Freedom. And I am and always was willing to do my part to keep America Free. Now we are turning into a Socialist Government. Why can,t America stop this taking away of our Freedoms? When will the govermnent say enough is enough and we are going to balance the budget and get back to being the land of the Free. We all hear about what the present establishment is doing to bankrupt America, We have proof of all the wrongs the president has done but all anyone is doing is sending emails and letters requesting we send money to support their trying to help America. I thought the government was there for the protection of the peoples rights. Why should we have to donate to have them do what they were elected to do? If there are here illegality and not doing their job, why do we allow them to stay and shove socialism and anti-religion into our daily agenda?
My most cocern is I won’t have the money to apply all I have learned. the water is in good shape we have a artigan well.the stock pile of food given time can be done .The wind and off grid wellllll that is another thing . My family are all on dis ablbity.Inother words nooooooo money.
If people fear gov control then why do they keep electing these idots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We’re senior citizens, aged 69 and 86, live in a suburb of D.C. and still paying mortgage. No family to turn to. I’m not able to defend, build, etc. Social Security and a state teacher’s pension and all savings are gone. It’s looking like doomsday for us. What the administration is doing is scaring the life out of us.
While I tend to take care of mine and leave the rest of the world to itself. Today I’m border line pissed off and just plain dumbfounded. I listen to the denial of the left about any conspiracy and bla bla bla about Bengazi issue. Are the folks on the conservative right the only ones that can see through the BS that’s being spouted by those that would have us believe that government can do no wrong?
Damn Damn Damn!!!
Currently I am really ticked off about the whole ben gazi affair!
As a “born and raised on the Farm Tennessean” I can remember when the only food we had to live on in the winter was what we raised in our garden. As a poor TN Cotton Farmer money went to pay the banks back what we had borrowed to put in the crop and any extra was a “maybe next year scenario”. I haven’t started a Garden because at the present I am unable to work it and also have nothing to work it up with. I will start next week buying seeds and a storing them. I have 17 acres left on my farm and ample room to raise some Goats and a calf to butcher and with the solar power and other ideas I have for creating my own power can keep my deep freezer running. I also have a couple of hundred mason jars and two pressure cookers. I will probably plant a late garden even if it is a small and can the vegetables like we used to and store them. Damn Green Beans will keep a 100 years! lol! Corn, Okra, vegetable soup Corn frozen in the shuck, all he ways we used to live will be brought back. As I said I have had to survive off what we raised before. For years we would have starved if it had not been for the canned foods. It didn’t matter how many groceries were in the store we simply did not have the money to buy them. I will survive shelves full or not and anyone that tries to steal my food will no longer need any food to eat, money to spend or air to breathe. I got the catalog and CD I ordered today and I can’t wait to get started. One last note, an old storm door (aluminum door) being from TN I’m sure you know what that is. All house trailers have them, anyway one door makes two great solar panels! I plan on making enough to have for sell and install them for a fee. Something I know is going to be in great demand in the very near future.
P.S. – Have you heard anything about a Million Armed Men March on Washington DC set for July 4,2013? I am hearing rumblings about it. It’s what the Constitution tells us to do with a government like we have now. Don’t like it, hope it never has to happen, but if it does I want be home that day.

The question remains just how far down the rabbit hole the whole crackdown on the perpetrators of 911, 311 and related events will go. The problem is concentrated at the top and it is very difficult for military and law enforcement types used to following orders from above to take action against their “superiors.”
When you have a supreme court that has been threatened and intimidated into submission, a Congress and Senate that have been mostly bribed and a President who is a puppet, then going through them is not a realistic option in dealing with the criminal fascist takeover of the US.
My understanding is that the joint chiefs of staff of the Pentagon are the best hope for restoring the US Republic and freeing the American people. What they need to understand is that it is not going to be any court case that will settle the problem.
If the American people are to be freed, the military need to temporarily take over the key centers of power. They need to send troops to occupy the following places: the Federal Reserve Board branches, the Congress, the Senate, the White House, the Supreme Court, the Justice Department, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the major media companies and the Council on Foreign Relations.
Once this is done, it will be a fairly simple job to figure out who has been part of the fascist cabal: follow the money. Anybody who is living way beyond their salary and cannot explain the source of money should be suspended pending further investigation.
There is also a need to remove all US/Israeli dual citizens from any government offices. Dual loyalty and service to your government are not compatible.
The Pentagon types rightly point out the lesson of history that the military are not good at running governments as the reason they have not taken action yet. That is true but, the military are very good at restoring order and then returning to their barracks.
The military take pride in the fact they have never interfered in government since the founding of the United States. However, they need to realize that never before in the history of the United States has the country been surreptitiously taken over by a foreign power.
This of course brings us back to Israel. Israel was founded by Jews who murdered other Jews in order to force them out of their European homeland as part of a criminally insane project to carry out ancient biblical prophecies. It sounds too far-fetched for us normal people to fathom, but history makes it clear this is exactly what has been going on. That is why there has been no solution to the Palestinian issue despite over 5 decades of “peace negotiations.” Peace would prevent their planned Armageddon.
Keep the govenmen’s hands off of our guns. Get rid of Obamacare. Allow domestic oil, gas and atomic energy production.
Get government out of ourday to day life.

FRACKING
GUN LEGISLATION that attacks the law-abiding citizen and does not address getting guns out of the hands of criminals
ATTACKS ON ROE v WADE This issue was settled in the 1960s. It’s my body and no one has the right to tell me how to deal with health issues. I personnaly could never have an abortion, but no one has the right to determine that for me.
SHORT SIGHTEDNESS ON THE PART OF GOVERNMENT intent on being reelected. Buffet has the right idea. Term limits, no life time pay, the same health care as the rest of us, no profit from DC job for 10 years, no lobbing.

hello I would like to here more positive feed back on the ways of going of grind and a better esstamit of and actual cost in doing this
well I live in western new York and the new gun law scares me.
Hi Frank
Just wondering if you are aware of the Strawman (www.strawman.com)
or about the CAFR (www.cafrman.com)? Very P.Oed about these!
Rock
Dear Frank,
I have read many of your articles and found all to be very inciteful. My concerns are fairly simplistic right now. After 22 years of marriage I found out that my husband, who is a City Administrator was having an affair on me. First concern….our “gray” society. Something that I myself have been guilty of. It seems the separation between right and wrong is gone. We believe what makes us feel comfortable. Case in point, the interviews of the neighbors of serial killers. ” He was the nicest guy, but we would smell something dead a lot.” or ” we saw several young boys go in but never saw them come out.”. This is an extreme example but to true to ignore. So the more acceptable is the local city government turning a blind eye to time and resources used to conduct affairs, embezzlement, slander and other actives that would cost a non- government worker their job. Trying to talk citizens into a fiber optics system that would cost the tax payers wether they subscribe or not due to the cost of the infrastructure. Plus it is a physical connection to your personal information, try and keep the Chinese Military out. My next concern is the example to our Children. When a Lady of our community heard our story she went forward to the city council members and ask for an accountability of The city Administrator in his time and use of his position in slandering his daughter. The result was that they were very pleased with his work performance and no action would be taken. No apology , no retraction of the email he sent out.
So is our government problems a trickle down effect or is it the pebble in the pool effect? So where to start?
I purchased your program to have a better retirement plan by reducing my utility bills or eliminate them. It turns out I may need it to work a little faster. I may have to have back surgery due to a disc fragment that is causing a problem. With attorney bills, him not paying bills and 6 other people living in my home with me. I am scared to death that I wont stay afloat. But the spinal injections are not working and the insurance my husband couldn’t cancel is better then the coverage I would have with my company. Plus the weight of the tax debt. I need help! I not a person who usually asks for help. So besides drugs and therapy I would be very interested in suggestions in regards to all information I have given.
The only thing any political machine cares about is money and power. When their power and money is challenged by our vote they do listen. So here is the deal, be active and vote. Tell all the politicians’ “NO AMMO, NO VOTE”. That is the only thing they understand. Let us make this a statement heard across this great land. “NO AMMO, NO VOTE”.
I sure wish people would wake up, the USA pre-Obama was a more free and powerful nation. Now it ranks somewhere with the 3rd world countries, Martial law is at the door, free speech can cost you prison time if your comments criticize the Obama Dictatorship, your Rights have been cut to the point, that illegal aliens have more rights than American Born Citizens, Police trying to operate under the legislated laws of the country are being arrested and you are now being spied on like you live in Pakistan.
I would like to know without the B.S. just how anyone can claim the USA today is a free country, as per the old Constitution provided. Powerful the country could be, if Obama had the guts to use that power for anything other than Oil and Drugs. It appears there are more drugs being grown in some of the invaded Oil rich countries, than what was grown previously.
I would like someone to also explain how democratic the USA is today, when elections are subject to manipulation by the powers that be. It makes me cry and bloody mad to see where the USA has been reduced to this status of disrespect by the world in general. If not for the latent power in the nuclear closet, most countries would ignore and openly show their disrespect at this time. You still think that old paper all once respected has any value in Obama Land?
God Help America, because there are enough honest and true Americans to help now.
Dear Patriots,
For the first time in my life, I AM SCARED!!! The situation in OUR COUNTRY is getting crazier and crazier by the minute. I listen faithfully to FOX NEWS and to FOX news radio and sometimes I have to turn it off because it is heart breaking what’s happening. I am not frightened for myself, but for my children and grand-children. I love sci-fi and fantasy movies and novels but what’s happening now is like a bad “B” horror flick from the past. TAKE OUR GUNS AND OUR RIGHTS AWAY?! What truly amazes me is that a lot of people walk around in a stupor or daze and have not a clue what is happening to thier rights and ultimately to thier lives. It is like they are brainwashed. It is like a bad dream that you can’t wake up from.
The government is trying to take over our very lives and every liberty that our Founding Fathers gave us, we need to stop them now! The apathetic voters that neglected to vote in 2012 need to have a fire lit under them and get out and vote in 2014 and again in 2016. We need to take Our Country back from the brink of socialism and chaos. I love this country and we need to save it and our people. We need to get down on our knees and pray for help to deliver us from the evil that is being forced on us by this administration’s Socialist and Marxist agenda.
One of my favorite quotes is from the now, sadly deceased Margaret Thatcher former Prime Minister of England. She said,”Socialism is great, but what do you do when the rich people run out of money???? There are too many moochers sitting around waiting for someone to take care of them! Work has become a dirty word! How horribly sad! This is the GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH and we are in the process of handing it over to our enemies. GOD HELP US!!!
AMERICA WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!
What makes me angry? That the corporations actually own and run everything, including (especially) Congress, yet everyone is yelling at the Administration about all the problems. The Administration can’t do anything, Congress is giving all the tax money to the corporations (the real “welfare”). Exxon gets billions to sell gas at $4 a gallon, Bank of America gets billions to charge 24% on their credit cards, Ford gets billions to build s*itty cars, then get bailed out by us for doing so… and all of their executive get millions of dollars in bonuses for doing such a *great* job! I wish I had a job like that! And I wish *my* company got welfare from the government!
What do you know about ‘UN Agenda 21’ and ‘Fish & Wildlife Services Wetlands Project’? What do you think about them?
The USA is the world’s foremost powerful, advanced and free nation. The economic and civil wellbeing the entire world depends on the USA retaining these traditional values and freedoms. These necessary attributes are currently in grave danger so long as Obama and his liberal-socialist-Muslim democratic cronies are in government! There are way too many good people in this country to be lead by an idiot Muslim. Obama was raised Muslim and is a vital instrument in the Muslim caliphate to establish a foot-hold in the western hemisphere. He and his crowd must be put out to pasture – permanently! The first step is the 2014 elections. The truth and the dismal extreme partisan performance of the idiot liberal democrats like Murray and Cantwell, here in Washington, must be published, to retire them permanently!
I for one believe one of the best ways is for each sincere conservative American to speak-up and diligently seek to influence friends and family to vote the nation’s best interest, in lieu of voting for a party, or some kool idiot!, and to avoid the ultra liberal drive-by media altogether!
Granted it’s difficult to overcome give-a ways financed by our tax dollars. However, we must individually convince non-thinkers and the low information society to think themselves and realize what this deficit spending is doing for future generations.
Down the line, please talk much more about Obama’s background and the true purpose of the liberal/radical Muslim agenda! America must install a true American in the White house in 2016, together with a conscious conservative congress in 2016.
What bothers me the most is the government intervention into EVERYTHING! This was not how America was founded. Our founding fathers even warned about government intrusion. Also it bothers me that people will not take responsibility for their actions or the choices they made in life.
I personally think that the basic survival skill set has been well covered as well as producing electricity. There are other survival skills when it comes to terrorism. Most modern media will drag out a story to keep their audiences locked with fear to ensure the need for a large worthless government. Turn them off. Only go to places that are fun. You never hear about a bar bombing or a public park attack right? I’ve never heard about an amusement park attack. I could be wrong but I don’t think I am.
If there every will be an invasion I recommend that everyone get a copy or torrent of the Anarchist’s cookbook. I’m assuming that most of you have one already. If not it’s a must have in this day and age.
17 trillion in debt—no plan or even possibility to ever pay it off = eventual national disaster. The only question remaining is WHEN, not IF! I have read that even if every American were income-taxed at a rate of 100%, the national debt would still be impossible to be paid back. And not to mention the looming crises in funding social security, medicare, runaway healthcare costs, and all the other various entitlement programs, such as medicaid, food stamps, SSDI, and SSI, and it doesn’t take a genius-level I.Q. to foresee the handwriting that is on the wall. So, how do we solve the insoluble???
Dear Frank;
I read you article on forty homemade weapons and it is great….For those who aren’t paralyzed or a quadrapalegic. How do people like us defend ourselves? It seems that everything is done to help the healthy and those who can get around, but everyone neglects the Physically and/or mentally handicapped and the elderly. What are we supposed to do? Just curl up and die. People who are house bound or stuck in one place in their home..it becomes their world whether they like it or not. My physical world is my room and I am a parapalegic. I can’t go anywhere unless I call and get someone to help…which is very rare. I do most things on the computer so I stay active that way, but the body is useless for the most part. Is there no one who can come up with ways that people like us can help ourselves and defend ourselves? So far i haven’t found a single thing anywhere – even the internet to help people like us. I guess the world still sees people like us as a liability that can be eliminated and the value of human life for people like us is insignificant. I served my country during the Vietnam War as a Nurse and got hurt, as did many other soldiers did and who find themselves in my position. I am female and they are male, but both genders got hurt and still get hurt serving their country and we are treated like garbage by our own government. As I said before is there no one out there to help people like us except God whom I have served for over 45 years in spite of it all? Why is it that those who have healthy bodies and minds, expect us to go quietly into the long dark night? Life certainly is fair to us as a whole, but it’s downright cruel to people like the disabled and the elderly.
I would really like to see what you have to say about this and what can be done. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Greatest fear: national financial collapse. Coupled with rogue governmental factions supported by hyper liberal media, hysteria and mass panic. Major food shortages.
I guess the main fear is wrong headed government decisions causing rouge agencies to opperate autonomously with full federal authority. I.e. FEMA and more importantly DHL. Detention centers run by FEMA and slack controll at CDC bio-labs all seem to be leading to one foregone conclusion; We as a nation of freedom loving peoples is freeking SCREWED!!!! Now, I love the Lord Jesus and I know that if/when I die I will be in the presense of the Savior. How death comes scares me, not the dying. Fearful for all those around me should I be taken out. My wife and daughter treated horibly because I’m not there to help prevent it. Scarey stuff to even consitter. Jake
what scares me the most, is the thought that I won’t learn to play my new bobro,
What has me so damn mad is that Obama is still in control of MY country,
and is taking all that I have. They will get the bullets one at a time first
Dear Sirs,
I want to let you know, I appreciate you reaching as many people as posit-able even so it is a fight. I am 65 and see too, what is going on.Back in the early 50’s and 60’s, My first husband worked for Walt Disney along with his Uncle who helped and Design Disneyland in Anaheim, California and the one in the State of Florida. Walt Disney had planned to extend his Monorail Ride all over California and and plus areas, however the Big Tire Companies made sure he could and world be stopped. So watching our Governments on this earth, I only TRUST the one person who no longer lives on our earth, but does communicate wisely to the Homosapiens (Humans) on this earth. At John 12:31, 14:30, 16:11 of our Bibles, It brings out:”Who Really Rules The World? Many people would answer the question with a single word—God. But significantly, nowhere does the Bible say that either Jesus Christ or his Father are the real rulers of this world, On the contrary, Jesus said: “the ruler of this world will be cast out” And he added: “the ruler of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me. (The one called Devil and Satan ….is misleading the entire inhabited earth. ” –First John 5:19. Satan (a fallen Angel) told Jesus when on earth, “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.’ Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan!'”—Matthew 4:1, 8-10. Think about this. Satan tempted Jesus by offering him all the kingdoms, (governments) of the world.” Yet, would Satan’s offer have been a real temptation if Satan was not actually the ruler of these kingdoms (governments)? No, it would not. The Bible, in fact calls Satan “the god of this system of things” 2 Corinthians 4:4.
So understand, you might be, being used by GOD to show who is in charge. Thank You for your common sense and clear understanding of my 15 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren s future. Sorry this is soooooo! long. Sincerely Rita
We are on solar and it is not hooked into the grid. But our 220 wires for our Stove, ovens, and air conditioning and heat are on the grid. Everything else is solar. We have a well and septic tank so we have water and refrigerators (2) and a upright freezer. Hi ave a garden and have started canning my foods. We live on 121/2 acres mostly rock so I have above the ground garden areas. Ooh and we also have 22 chickens and get lots of eggs a day and planning on getting goats as soon as we get a fence.
been reading your posts. would like more info on solar power and battery / inverter requirements.
i have purchased 24v of batteries at 390amps. it would be nice to be able to figure out
my cpacity.
also battery care and rejuvenation techniques. types of chargers and battery care. de sufication
types of batteries iron edison lead acid and which brands are the best..
thanks
Tom,
Keep an eye out for emails about an “Insiders Coaching Series” from me. Kriss is going to be offering a live webinar series, probably here in the next month or so, that will walk everyone through just those kinds of planning questions.
I need more info.on the conversion from wind power to my home.What type of equiptment will I need to succesifuly use my wind power to my home .
Lots of good ideas on your blog Frank. I have not seen any discussion about Chicken Manure being feed to Cattle. This chicken manure is from the CAFO operations that contains: hormones, arsenic, chicken feathers, bones, beaks and claws. I kid you NOT.
The UN gun Treaty is one of the things that makes me mad, nthe second is this administrations refusal to be honest with the public about, Bengaze, Boston bombing, Homeland security malfunctions,etc. I love solar but it still isn’t down to normal folks budgets. Same with windpower, I will build a small tower but it will not charge enough to really make a difference.
My most intense fear is a global food shortage (emergency) produced by a breakdown and termination of the distribution systems via trailers trucks, trains, and stores we have grown to depend upon for our food supply.
well i am semi retired from my medical business. actually sort of retired 10 years ago, to take care of my parents to end of their days. it was good thing, they walked to the end of their lives. dad in 08 at 95, mom in 09 at 94. now i rent their house to keep me alive.
i have solar for water heating already. now i am looking into photoelectric power for the grid. i am assuming i will get that from your stuff i ordered? my neighbor just in dec 12 put in photoelectric for 40,000, money i don’t have. i do see your point on the impending doom here in hawiaii. we have one of obamas lap dog as the governor. he is pulling the same shit as obama is in dc.
what worries me about putting in my own system. is the permit process of hawaii? they trying to regulate everything , as you know. i have to do some investigation on it i guess. i am not a handy type of person with electrical or stuff. one of my concerns also is mounting on my garage roof? so it does not leak?
Hi Frank,
I am interested in freedom. Having lived in other countries, I can tell you from first hand experience that this country is not a “free” country like our government would have us believe. This country is rotten with politically correct jerks that don’t even understand the meaning of the word freedom and who compromise our rights to cater to the few that are easily offended and complain about miniscule inconveniences. I love my country but I hate the direction our government has taken it. I’m sure our fore-fathers would be shocked to see what is going on today. I believe that true Americans are rebels and I don’t like being a slave to this money hungry system run by a bunch of bumbling idiots. I want to get off the grid so I can tell them all to kiss my @$$!!
I agree with John Hunt, This country is headed in the wrong direction quickly, our freedoms and rights are being eroded. It is heading toward a communist/socialist state. They want our guns for a reason and it isn’t to make us safer. Food, water, may be scarce at some point. So much to do it seems like there may not be enough time to prepare.
Look into how the Protection of Monsanto act was slipped through while the government and media distracted the people by bringing up gay marriage again. I’m for gay marriage, however, I also believe that all marriage is a state sponsored religious institution and thereby unconstitutional. See how easily that topic distracts people.
I think it would be really cool if China did to England and the other Europeans what Europe did to them in the 1940’s. Force Europe to give little chunks of their territory to China, force Europe to legalize opium, and force Europe to give exclusive opium supply rights to China. Also, force Europe to allow Chinese “missionaries” to change the religions of Europeans, and more. Just like Europe did to them.
Since my country no longer has a manned space flight program, I am looking forward to a vacation on the moon at the “House of the Rising Sun” luxury hotel, where chickens soar like eagles and all services, such as those provided by Madam Chiang to Wendell Wilkie, are available.
Hello Frank :
I want to thank you for all that you do. I will get right to the point of your request. What worries me most is the growing forces that are trying to destroy our country. Namely the Federal Reserve and its strangle hold it has on this country through credit. The beast from Jekyll Island has has broken its chains long ago boasting its power over all branches of government. Secondly I would like to talk about the communist threat coming from the brain washed left. Organizations like George Soros owned “Media Matters ” influence network television to condition the masses into excepting socialism. What used to be small doses of socialism is now a communist injection into many aspects of our daily lives. Many people like me have been privy to UN agendas such as agenda 21 for twenty years. I believe that the the Second Amendment is the only thing standing in the way of British banking elitests having total power over the world. Please read 5000 Year Leap and watch EndGame, also watch Obama Deception. I have to go to work now to pay taxes to those who don’t. God bless you and your family. Ben
What scares me is that my government takes over my life and all of us. They well tell us what to do and when to do. I am not in the military anymore. Put up with that for alittle over 14 yrs. New is my turn to tell me what to do and when to do it. Taking my guns and ammo from me and not getting nothing in return. I think that is stealing not sure but I think so. Not being able to get medical care are should I say good medical care. Not like that crap they have in a VA hospital. Well I guess I turn your ear enough.
Frank, My interest was simply alternate energy and though I found your segments cleverly presented I can’t get behind all the gloom and doom.
Immigration. The border has never been secured, we were told it would be after
over 3 million Illegals were here and granted amnesty. Now there are over 14
million and more coming over very easily every day. The fence we were promised
needs to be built, our laws need to be enforced.
following your recommendations we now have the survival basic needs, power,food, etc. Now one
thing that is beyond our control is when the dollar loses its status as the world currency and that
will mean the dollar will lose about 90% of its value. Whats going to happen when the property tax
man shows up….no taxation want drop 90% of its value…..not being able to meet the taxes will result in you losing your home…..there goes the electrical power, your garden space…and it my case the well and all of the farm animals that i depend on. Just maybe i could or would be lucky enough to sell some eggs, meat….but that is not likely enough. YOU know i saw this happen to a lot of people in the 30’s…including my own dad….but this time it will be a lot worst. All of the
preparation,,,skills…hard work and pinching those penny will not protect us- the one thing that worries me the most……being able to meet those property taxed and the inquired insurance and the failure to meet these requirements….you are toast…..did i fail to mention the double wammey of meeting mortage payments, if you still owe money on the place.
this my friend is not meant to be gloom and doom…..just bare facts……and we donn’t have much time to prepare either….it is now knocking on our door…..Bill
Fraud Land Taking by United Church of Christ and the State of Hawaii USA.
King Kamehameha I Unified the Hawaiian Islands;
UCC. Missionaries came into Hawaii in 1820
1893 siked the Hawaiian People and over threw the Monarch.
with US. Military support. We are now under Military Occupation.
My Hawaiian Kingdom is ran by the USA…State of Hawaii Government.
I am the great Grand Son of King Kamehameha I (Seventh Generation)
The State Court System is punishing our People because we don’t want the way
they run the Government;
The US. Military with the State of Hawaii combined are stealing our lands using about 90%
of our Hawaii Islands (Archipelago) and keep building missile Bases on each Island.
We want our independence and the State of Hawaii wont allow us to worship freely as Hawaii.
They have taken away our “gathering rights” Our shoreline privileges and condemning Private lands for their peoples use…
What I am really afraid of is the Hawaiian people now are retaliating because State of Hawaii
claims to own all properties in Hawaii…Even Non-profit lands…
I am fighting back to say show me your Deed…They are saying We don’t need deed we own everything
They already sol one of Our Island and the people on that Island has to cater to the new owner!
Don’t know if we have a good defence over allied Countries that may want to send a Missells
here. because America built a lot of Bases here…
What would we need to prepare for? as communities… The missile bases are in the center of all the eight Islands…. and we are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean;
For water We have a lot I’m sitting on ground spring water well that covers the entire 80 acres…
The government stole the only spring that we have in a cave…Without compensation…and turned around and made us pay for their services;
Our deed states for the “good, use, and benefit of the Church”…
OBAMA, That scares the HELL out of me
One new thing stands out in the gun-control efforts… a separate bill/ammendment targeting the banning of a single, specific gun… the Barrett M82 50 cal. semi-auto. I’m privileged to have been able to afford one. People ask me why I have it (it’s not a practical gun… very heavy, very expensive to buy and very expensive to shoot)… my answer is: so they can’t take it (or my other guns) away from me. This gun is the ONLY singular device available to the public that is capable of making a difference in the case of illegal martial law. NO M82 has EVER been used in a violent crime. So why do they want to ban it??? Prep for marshal law is the only thing I can come up with. Your thoughts would be interesting.
Frank, I purchased Power4Patriots because I recently retired and planning to move from my suburbian home in Texas to several acres in Tennessee later this year and would like to research doing as much to become self sustaining as possible. Current plans are to get some chickens and maybe a few goats, try to build a wind generator to power a gate opener and my outdoor model railroad to begin with and put in some raised-bed garden plots.
I would like to know more about water wheels and generators. How they work and to make one to put in our creek for another option of clean energy and self substantiabilty. If there were a video like your solar power video I would purchase it.
I like to hear about environmental issues, food cons and conservation of our natural resources and the poisoning of our soil ,air and water.
Frank,
I have been reading everything you send me it’s all good infomation that as soon as I retire
(next 6 mths) I’m going to get the most out of your information, solar hot water and power are my main projects I plan on completeing, thanks
Financial meltdown is a top concern. Water supply and food supply are the top concerns should a financial meltdown occur.
I wish You would have shown the whole video, he was speaking of how much it would cost to
put the epa mandated pollution equiptment on current coal plants.
yes TVA used to be the lowest in the country, now we are #3, and yes it is expensive thats why several coal burners are shuting down before 2015. so prices will go up.
I think it’s ashame that we as american’s aren’t working to suport our families. I have been out of work since last Oct, after only working 6 weeks all last year. Uncle sam has a death hold on our lives. When job are waverd for annother 6 months by our fearless leader. There is no reason for the economy to be where it is. There is no privacy left in our great country, I don’t like it.. Getting ready to put a solor system to gether for our home. thanks for the chanchce to air. R.C.
I have been out of touch as a storm has created some problems, so I have been storing them for a later date, I do enjoy reading your news letters.
It’s not the floods, earthquakes, or even global warming that scares me. We are rapidly becoming a socialist (or communist) country at the hands of people incapable of thinking for themselves. Maybe comments regarding how to survive this situation.
Good stuff all in line with what I am interested in and need. Keeping turned in on all that is happening and preparing for the unknown. Feel that preparation has to be realistic as to if and when needed and for how long, and that is an unknown. Thank you for all the info, and keep it coming.
I was reading what Senior had to say and agree with him , my opinion is that trying to figure out who and why all of this is happening really is a waste of time due to the fact that this nation has turned its back on god and until that changes ( its all written in the bible , which seems to be the only thing they can’t change). No one can properly understand what’s going on in the world today unless they begin with the inspired Word of God. The Bible teaches in 2nd Corinthians 4:4 that Satan is the god of this sinful world. As such, Satan needs a way to control the world. Satan uses occult organizations to accomplish this. Such organizations are: Skull and Bones (officially The order Of Death), Rosicrucians, Bohemian Grove, the Russian Orthodox Church, Freemasonry and others. The word “occult” means “hidden.” Satan operates in secrecy because his works are evil, and must be hid from the eyes of the public, lest Christians expose Satan’s works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11).
Senate Bill S510 Makes it illegal to Grow… i found this very disturbing seeing as how i grow a great deal of my own food! maybe you can help put the word out on this because very few people are aware of it
What am concerned about is battery’s they are to the coastly
they are to high in price an to matain
are there other ways this can be done to put back to the grid
Lots of things make me angry. incresing taxes, control on everything. I have two parcels of land, and am trying to get to be more self suficent. I plan to get started on solar and wind power projects as soon as the weather allows, as winter fades and spring is on us. seems to be long comming this year. i work for an oil and gas company and see losts of things that upset me. no respect for the land, completley covering pastue land with locations and roads. completley disrupting the eco system. all i can do is protect what is mine. cannot believe the cost of ammoniton. bought a box of shells for the first time in 15 years. 20 guage #4shot to hunt turkey 23.99 a box. I had a fit. havent hunted in years. game is plentful here i dont know how with the drought situtation the last few years. i enjoy all your comments.
The data that I have doesn’t give the demensions of frame except. For length of pieces. And I can’t find a vacuum pump. Kits do not include all the necessary equipment needed.
I just retired from 20 years with Farm Bureau, (Insurance), I have done many other occupations… we still have winter here, hopefully snow will be melting and it will get spring, we are a month late, should have been in 40’s & 50’s last month, today was 31 Fahrenheit, I bought some lots (land) in a small town 35 miles northeast of Williston -where I now live, hoping to set up there, build a pole building, metal covered with living quarters in part of it. Land had an abandoned 14 x 80 mobile home, trashed about 15 yrs ago by vandals, and there was an old basement type house, maybe 1925 vintage, roof collapsed and people were using it as a garbage dump, need to clean all that up and then start building -(green), so just been making the plans, using your guidelines to get set up “off the grid”.
SO, Thanks for the info you send, I’m happy to be involved…Wishing you well…..Charlie
What interest me is news and information that will assist in my goal of become as self-reliant as possible. This includes solar, wind, micro-hydro to become self-sufficient in power; gardening knowledge, canning, drying, smoking meats, and freezing to allow me to be independent of grocery stores; water supply from the land and rain; seed saving of heirloom plants to maintain a healthy and varied food source. I also appreciate your survival writings to help insure my familys’ security.
I plan to retire in another 3 years and build a homestead in northern ontario, To this end I am interested in any and all knowledge that may affect me.
The vote happened over the weekend of the 13th. This needs to get out. This has been fact checked through snopes. If it happened once, they WILL try again.
Subject: LIST OF TRAITORS
Over the weekend, we came four votes away from the United States Senate giving our Constitutional rights over to the United Nations. In a 53-46 vote, the senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.
The Statement of Purpose from the bill read:
To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.
The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S., and had language that would have implemented an international gun registry on all private guns and ammo.
Astonishingly, 46 of our United States Senators were willing to give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power.
Here are the 46 senators that voted to give your rights to the U.N. Baldwin (D-WI)

People this needs to go viral. These Senators voted to let the UN take our guns. They need to lose the election. We have been betrayed.
46 Senators Voted to Give your 2nd Amendment Constitutional Rights to the U.N.
Stop all the videos-too time consuming and can’t print out info. Don’t like e-books.Want things sent to me so I can have available to refer to as necessary. I enjoy your comments.
You are correct. Time is of the essence. I don’t get a chanc to rea devery thing you send or have sent. I live far from any city and have large peice of land to care for, plus an impared wife. I will soon start my solar project and am sure i will have Q’s. So many thanks for keeping in touch.
I got the solar and wind DIY packet. What have you found out about fuel cells? A retired electrician said that they had these refridgerator sized fuel cells that made enough electricity, I guess some type of hydrogen generator type??? Anyhow, it would power a 2000 sq ft home. He said the homes would be completely off the grid.
I am interested in information about living off the grid. Solar, wind, water. Thanks
Frank, in some ways you provide ‘information overload’. I like and read what you have said, but I have limited resources to create or accomplish these things. How about some of the absolute bare minimums to either keep a home livable without benefits of a fireplace, power or water, or ways to survive “on the run” with literally nothing but a small bail out bag of a gun, some loaded clips, less than $100.00 cash, and the clothes on your back?
Over time I have accumulated some items, try to keep Rx meds handy, and have some ‘customized’ over the counter 1st aid kits.
Protective Vests, MagLites and batteries, knives, OC spray, ‘cuffs and batons can be grabbed as a complete package on weapon belts. Extra shoes/boots, coats, hats, gloves are all accessible with only a couple minutes more delay.
Long term foods and waters storage are currently not included in my gear. No filters for water yet either.

I
would like to build a free energy generator to get off the grid, something other than solar I am worried about the US dallar deterioration and been replaced as globe currency
Maybe the best comment is no comment. Is that not what the government
and United nations goons want? First off,you can’t say anything anymore that cannot be taken as offensive to somebody.We no longer have the right to free speech it seems.We are being conditioned in what we can and cannot say.Our rights are being eroded more all the time.People don’t want to hear the truth anymore. They only want to hear lies that soothe their senses.A perfect example is Obahma ever being elected.People are too eager to beleive the liars.People,need to ask questions and remember every lie before making important decisions,especially in electing leaders.
It is too bad that I cannot speak all the words that I should be able to without having to be politically correct,and worrying about touchy, feely, subjects.The TRUTH is being censored more all the time.The biggest problems facing society today are, it seems like, we are just supposed to put up with, instead of working on a solution to correct the problems. Following the LAWS of GOD make more sense than watering them down to suit liberal minded agendas.
What are the best foods to store away that will last the longest? We all need food that is not loaded up with salt,sugar, or other preservatives, but will be nutritious and have a long shelf life.
What are the best storage precautions? For example- (climate control) how much moisture,cold,heat,dryness,mould,rodent control,etc.Another thing is a well balanced diet and a large supply of water that can be kept from being contaminated. These days it is increasingly hard to locate food that has not been processed in some way,or that comes from genetically modified sources.All these factors to consider.Don’t rely on hydro. Go natural if you can.
If you don’t want others seeing you bringing lots of stuff home then put up a temporary enclosure so you can go from vehicle to house undetected.Also do your shopping in another town,or just bring a little home at a time.Do not let people see you bringing home large quantities of groceries.
Living in a rural area will not help you escape the crap of military and law enforcement goons ordered to round you up and take you to camps for your so called protection.170 million poeple worldwide have been killed by their own governments in the past century. Who can you trust when everyone is being encouraged to rat out their neighbour? Where can you hide when the surveilance is everywhere? Evil is aggresively gaining more strength and control every day.The solution is GOD and Christ.You are either part of the problem or part of the solution.You will not be able to sit it out and watch from the sidelines.There are only two sides to choose from here.Whose side will you choose when the time is short?Search out the truth, and look for the true Church of God.They will be the ones willing to help and not asking for money.You need to look for the answers for yourself and always question why.I hope you find the truth because you just need to open your eyes.Watch,look,listen,question,pay attention,heed the truth and pass it on.There is no escape when Evil is everywhere you turn.Wishes won’t do you any good.Praying for deliverance and beleiving in christ may be your only salvation.All I can do is pass it along.The rest is up to you.
Recently, I visited a friend in Costa Rica and found both the people and the land to be one of the treasures of the world.
Upon my arrival back in the US, the first thing I noticed was how affraid everyong is. Like many other countries in the world, our govt. bullies us with “fear mongering”. I’ve found that our govt. leaders only seem to know 2 tricks: Using words for bills that are totally irrelevent i.e. “The Patriot Act” (there’s nothing Patriotic about it) and secondly, they use “misdirection” as a means of achieving their individual agendas. If our “govt. owned” media has us looking in one direction, you can bet your bottom dollar they are doing something towards the other direction.
I know we have a lot to worry about if we believe in “what goes around, comes around”.
But, mainly, it’s the “fear mongering” and paranoia we US citizens get from our govt. leaders. We have enough to be concerned about without them using fear and paranoia to contol how we feel.
Well since you asked, I bought your power4patriots solar and wind turbine dvd;s because since I have been a single parent most of my adult life, I have struggled with having the money to do anything. My boys are now grown and I am still working 6 days a week with no end in site. I basically have no retirment funds and what pension I may get from the many jobs I’ve had throught the years will not amount to much. So my retirement plan is to move to the mountains and get back to the basics. I am so sick of paying bills that I feel I am being over charged for that I have said for years that when I retire I want to fall off the face of the earth. But in the mean time I’m not getting any younger. My son is the one who planted the seed of going to the mountains. For the past five years or so I have just been plugging along hoping everything would work out eventually. Well since that seed was planted I have gotten the spring back in my step. I have a plan now and I have about 8 years to work it all out. I live in the country now so I have the freedom to do things here without to much interfirence from YOU KNOW WHO. I already have a few ponies and a couple horses, chickens, and a few ducks. I thought I would have a milk cow in my new life but have changed that to a couple goats. I can still have milk and butter and cheese but can also use it for soaps and shampoo. Plus if a critter comes out of the mountain and eats one it will be a lot easier and cheeper to replace. Just being practical. My garden is improoving every year, thank you chickens, ducks and horses. I sell my extra eggs and produce at work so I can keep some of the money I make instead of giving it ALL to the government. I can file farm taxes so I have a lot more write offs. The government is not spending my money wisely so I resent having to give it to them. This year I am adding more fencing so I can rotate my pastures and improve the quality of grazing. I want to build some solar panels and get that working for me. The less money I have to spend here the more I have for my mountain home, plus I’ll have the bugs worked out. Since I’m not getting any younger I want to heat my new home with hot water. That idea I got from you. Warm floors in the winter what a luxury that would be. I am designing my house and barn to be one unit so if the weather is real bad I won’t even have to go out for a couple days. I have a structure that is made of metal tubing that I want to turn into a green house but don’t really know how to go about that. Your blog about keeping servival supplies in a seperate area hit home so the first thing I want to build when I get my property is an EARTH BAG BUILDING. I am saving up all my feed bags for this purpose. I’m also saving bailer twine because that stuff is great. I make ropes out of it and I intend to start crocheting it into bags or mesh or whatever I need it for. We have quit a few Amish around us so I have been checking into how they do things. Like their Ice houses for example.
I prefer to believe that our government could care less what little ol me is up to. This helps me sleep at night, but my new life can’t happen soon enough for me. I will gladly walk away from 9-10 hours a day 6 days a week. I don’t have time for anything but working and sleeping. Sometimes I get overwhelmed when I think about everything I’ll have to do in my new life but then I have to stop and tell myself that I won’t be spending 10 to 12 hours away from home everyday. I’ll have plenty of time to do what I need to do and still have time left over. I can’t wait. Thanks for keeping us informed.
Frank, All this talk about gun control, I worry about someone comming into our home,with more than a louisville slugger, (baseball bat) for everyone else. I have cans of wasp spray in different areas of our house. it shoots a stream to 22 ft away burns the eyes, and gives a chance to call 911. the hospital has the antidote for the wasp spray, no damage to eyes, just burns like hell till you get to hospital. ?? or comment is Are there any other products out there safe but shoots from long distance!! thank you!!
Question: is it not obvious that because the WEB is very Public you have succeeded in making obvious to the less imaginative, several VIP ways to hide personal possessions in the Home.. Obviously I have no alternative to what has been suggested but I can’t help feeling that these places are now less protective than previously supposed..
Frank, I have had a few questions, since I just purchased my Triple Wide Manufactured home. I too was in the Navy, started out as a jet mechanic. By the way my heart goes out to all the folks on Whidbey Island, I was stationed there for 2 years before changing over to a SeaBee. I chose to go to Viet Nam and help to bring decent homes to the young guys that had to bring , sometimes their whole village with them after they enlisted to fight the North Vietnamese, other wise the VC (Viet Kong) would come in and kill all the relatives or the whole village.
Sorry, I got off point, it’s just that I always loved my time at NAS Whidbey Island. I thought maybe I could sneak some solar panes on my roof but not allowed, so maybe I can pass off what knowledge I’ve picked up, to one of my nieces, in Indiana, they both have big homes with a lot of property. I have saved all your postd as well as having your CD’s, so I can help them , I hope. Thank you and keep on teaching us all you pick up and I think it would be great if we could all get together in an off shoot room (online of course). God Bless pal and be well. All I can do, here where I am is make my “castle” as I call it, as hard to break into and pitty the fool that does get in.
Hi Frank~
You recently sent me an email wanting to know my fears and true concerns for better material suiting those needs. Truthfully, there are so many issues and remedies to those issues flying around the internet it makes it hard to choose who is legit & who is just scamming me out of my money and using all these issues for the almighty dollar, which is NOT so almighty anymore. Like hoard food buy our stuff you buy their stuff and then the next is they are coming for your food…..so why the hell did I just spend my money on their food. Not everyone is able to afford all this stuff to supposedly save the lives of themselves and their families. Frankly, I am a little pissed off about all of it…I have spent all I am going to spend on survival materials, food, videos & meds to help me. It isn’t helping it’s hurting me.
Not everyone can buy a crap-ton of gold and silver and store it in another country or have passports and bug-out plans to leave the country. This is my country I love my country and all it used to stand for. I am not able to buy a load of stuff to survive on I get what I can afford to get in groceries, gas & such not meaning I am on welfare. I mean there isn’t a whole lot you can do in the case of being nuked or volcanoes truth is you will just be prolonging the inevitable which is death. I do what I can save what I can and I know I am not alone. This talk of beefing up your portfolio buy gold move abroad etc….it’s not even an option for most people and now that the gestapo is alive and well in our own country a country where most have only read about this type of thing….I guess being I AM A CHRISTIAN and a PROUD CHRISTIAN makes me a high risk threat to this country is just a flippin joke….I have never hurt a sole in my life. What happened to Obama’s rant on everyone should be free to their own religion as long as you don’t target other religions…is that not what he’s doing to the CHRISTIANS,JEWS, CATHOLICS ETC….the thought they have camps prepared for us is pathetic. I am saddened for my country being lead around by a virtual nobody who can’t even pass a background check of his own, lies, covers up murder and gun running and killing of our currency to further his agenda he’s secretive and about as transparent as a glass of cement. I sign a petition and I have signed plenty then the next thing ya here is hunting down of petition signers or the people wanting your signature then come out and say doesn’t matter anyway or the people you thought were in there fighting the good fight turn-coat and side with evil. So, not signing another petition not stocking up on ammo or food that they plan to take from you anyways….I would rather starve to death than live in a place like our country is becoming. Now supposedly Mexico is or already is starting to try to occupy and take the SW portion of the USA for the Azlanta or something? There is way to much info. and fix-alls out there I don’t know which one to believe. I have chosen to just pray and hope for the best it seems just as good if not a better shot at survival if you ask me at least I know God isn’t lying or cheating me…..they want your guns they want your food they want your cars phones, computers and belongings and now the kids……they can kiss my ass can’t take em if ya don’t have em and they can’t take my pride and my love for my religion they just can’t. To me that’s winning I am hoarding my beliefs my pride….and my stance…..They CAN’T have those…feelin pretty good about that and sorry for the followers of such a evil wrong doing…..how the hell can we pay all the new taxes and what not when they have the country so destitute no one is hiring anyone so where do the expect us to get the money to pay our debts on top of their debt. The new thing seems to be upper class elite parties it up runs up the debt and then bills us the good people busting ass to pay for their screw ups and parties to hide the screw ups…..and if we can’t we are now hearing of debtors prison…are you kidding me?????? I say the liar in chief and his croanies go first background checks, credit checks, I wonder how long he would have to be in a debtor’s prison if he was actually held accountable for his debts, and lies…..he claims to be doing it all for the kids and the babies and yet he is the leading supporting president ever in favor of abortion…ironic and rich if you ask me. Then they wanna lay claim to our kids???? I guess until it’s time to pay for their educations then it’s not my kid…..
So, Frank how am I doing for Ya? I apologize but I don’t know what to tell you to put out there to fix and answer any of this….my fear is living through what is about to come. My fear is my children live in other states and I don’t know when I talk to them or see them if it will be the last time. I am tired of worrying about fixing what Washington F up I never thought I would live to see something like this and don’t know what to tell my kids and my gbaby. so I guess I am using your blog to vent out what myself and plenty of others are thinking and not saying and if this makes me a target then so be it….I am such a mean ole thang.
Frank you have done a great job informing the masses and I appreciate a true caring human being in the midst….God Bless you abundantly for your work
This country is getting worse and worse. Our financial in the U.S. is bad with the failing economy and the debt that is growing is about to bust. what concerns me the most is how to avoid Big brother in the sky spying on us, and how to avoid being detected. I am just getting started on prepping but I am looking for answers on how to do certain things.
Hello Frank,
Thanks for all the info I have received from you. My biggest fear is not being properly prepared. We do what we can, but we live paycheck to paycheck and there isn’t very much left over. We stock up on canned goods when on sale and we can afford to. We do have a great garden, in fact I still have some food in the freezer from last growing season. Fortuneatly we live in a very rural area and are surrounded by hunters, fishermen etc. We moved here from the city and they have been wonderful in helping us to adapt to life here. I don’t fear not being able to afford a weapon as I feel safe with my neighbors. They talk alot about what life was like for their families back in the depression era, they know how to survive and are willing to share the knowledge. They think when everything collapses we will go back to a barter system. I just pray that we can survive and do the best we can to keep improving our preps. We will be working on an outdoor refridgeration/freezer system outside this summer. Apparently where we live if you dig 3 feet down frozen food will survive! Guess there is some good to living in a very cold place.
Thanks again for the information. God Bless and good luck, I think we’ll need it.

I fear most the loss of responsible National Leadership, and it starts with us the voters that seem to be clueless in how to select good and honest people to do the job. Maybe a Constitutional Amendment is the only solution that assures us that the leaders in congress get the same “medicine” they vote for us. Along with this is their complete lack of respect for the “Rule of Law” that served this nation so well. Our founders gave us something unique in providing minority rights, but the country is derailed when the majority has little say. The Social Engineering must stop. The financial and cultural shock has demonstrated little return on our investment in these A-Z mandated programs. We can start by dismantiling the Department of Education that has lost its way at the nations expense. More money has resulted in less education and their “bad attitudes,” that have been transferred to our children.
I AM93 I REMEMBER WHEN AMERICA WAS A COUNTRY TO BE PROUD OF BECAUSE THE WAY IT WAS RUN . I AM STILL PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN AND I LOVE MY COUNT I AM VERY CONSEREND A BOUT OUR PRIVELEGES BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM US.THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS IF WE WANT TO IS ONLY ONE.YOUR PRIVATE LIFE IS SLIPPING AWAY FROM US.WHAT MY CHILDREN AND GRAND CHILDREN WILL HAVE TO FACE IN THE FUTURE
Frank,
Your approach is coming off as if you are an angry fear monger feeding on people’s fears. Your information is useful and interesting, but try to focus on something pisitive once in a while. The world has its issues, but good things also happen.
Alan
I’ve found some of the info useful but I feel you’re using fear to make money.
I love reading what you list on the site, My main concerns are gun control issues, And everything our so called government is doing to us to kill us . THANKS for the info.
I am retired military and your program has reinforced some knowledge and added to my knowledge base.
My concern right now, besides being in grad school and up to my a** in reading, is :
how much ammo to have on hand?
what amount of purchasing of ammo triggers some sort of flag to the ‘government spy types’?
how do I find supplies for reloading ammo – I have the machine and dies?
what are the prospects of the ammo shortage ending or easing up?
is there a way to buy ammo that won’t ‘trigger’ a flag to ‘others’?
what do you you know about military blackhawk heliocopters patrolling our major cities?
the overall water supply in the world?
getting out of a huge city such as Houston, TX that is now too large to really evacuate a hurricane?
Regards
I would like to get more info on where to order the long lasting foods,to store for a crisis
Ronald, stick around. I’ve been tasting food from lots of suppliers and I finally found some that taste good. I didn’t like what was in their packages so I had them make up one just for me and I’ve just talked them into letting me sell my special boxes to you guys. I’m hoping to be able to offer them to you sometime in May.
first of all I have learned much about you and your programs, I think it is a great help to survive in a desaster, my father was in the Navy for 27 years, we traveled all over Phillipines & more, we learned to prep because of the Monsooon’s in the region, when they came power went out, we had to turn to alternatives to survive these ordeals. The other Navy personall around our home use to come to our house for comfort & something to eat, they knew we were prepared & they weren’t, Prepping, included food storage, cooking suppies sturno, Coleman camp stoves, & Lanterns, to keep warm & light, this experience kept with me even when I went into the Military myself, I have learned & remembered what I have learned as a child, I worked in the RV industries for 30yrs, I learned about Solar Panels & other means of survival & living on what it takes to survive, this is what I am starting with & continued building my knowledge to survive in a desaster.
Dear Frank;
Ihave no problems,fears or worries, all I want is selfsufficency in my energy supply.
Bernhard
Frank, I have enjoyed reading all your articles. I received the plants and will treasure them as I know they will come a a time I will need them. Hope to save them each year for future use.
Keep up the good work of telling everyone how to survive and live. God bless you and may we all know He will help us when the time comes.
God bless

I have been prepping for about 15 years now and have secured my family pretty well. P4P has offered up some great advice, systems, products and methods. Thank you! My contribution to all of this is you have to always be thinking. Be smart. You need the mind set of the Native American Indian. You need to think like the animal you are tracking if you need to catch it to survive. Be in harmony with your surroundings. Filter out all the noise and hear what you should.
A good dog can be an important asset. They will alert you to an intruder prior to your knowing. They will 9 out of ten times attack some one if you are being attacked. Most zombies are afraid of them and will look for an easier target, food or drug soarce. Sure they are not for every body and you should know how dogs think and be able to train your best friend to be your best friend. The service they can provide along with loyalty and companionship they are a great value. Weather I choose to hunker down and defend my home or flee a trusty K9 has got your back. Size doesn’t always matter when it comes to dogs. I have had Jack Russel terrior that would turn a rotwiler around and a healer that was sweet as can be to woop-ass-tasmainian devel mode and could leap at an attackers throat. I will take a badger or a wolverine over a grizzly bear. they cost allot less to feed and are easier to clean up after.
Just sharing folks, Sasquach
What is the best way.to.build a cheap.house so it will be both safe and energy efficient?
also biggest threat there is overall is the economy falling …99% do not understand that bonds are the problem..u s bonds are sold by treasury to get spending money…gvt does not print its own money …that’s how cum we have national debt …don’t believe me ? answer this : where does debt come from ? ans: borrowing ….no other source …u s bonds are borrowing paper …debt paper….
answer this : where did our 16 trillion dollars of debt come from ????? ans: u s bond sales instead of printing our own currency…no we don’t print our own currency ..the ngo fed does …the fed bank is privately owned ! they print and own the bux they print and loan to us via treasury..nice franchise ! ! !! ! !
gvt bonds of all kinds are a scam ;;; a payday loan …a claim on future tax revenue! ! ! ! live within means …raise taxes ..cut spending but don’t borrow! ! ! ! print but don’t borrow ! ! ! !
how do you keep the zombies out of this fabulous heirloom seeded garden ?
Wonderful article regarding Big Brother. Thank you for sharing this much needed knowledge!
I REALLY want to list Power4Patriots.com in out site that’s launching in about six weeks. I’ve written you, asking for your permission to no avail. I’d really love for other patriots to know you exist.
I’m looking forward to watching my new DVD and saving on my electric.
Tracy
I have been happy with all the articles, information, and offers presented. I only wish I had better time management skills to review all the information and materials I have received and/or ordered. Glad to have connected with you. Thanks.
Debbie
I am alwayslooking for the best way to stay safest right here in my own 3wrd floor apartment. with my husband who is sick and my 21 year old itelectually disab led daughter. we have one door a fire escape and 4 windows that isit to defend. I seem to think we could be pretty safe here. If you have any ideas for people living in apartments specially on third floors no elevators. just stairs, oh and we are lucky in one way we have a fresh water river running in our b ack yard. i know hard to believe but it runs through the city. it isnt a big city its a smaller city but non the less it is a city not far from boston. so maybe you have some suggestions. thanks for all your info it is great. God Bless all of you and your family
More info on building Solar Panels. Part by part directions with pictures.
Well folks maybe if everyone got off their royal butts and we banded together and just fired the whole bloody goverment and took all the benifits from the retired goverment officials that are living the fat cat life at our exspense we just might have a chance at getting things sorted out. Yea I know I’ve just probabley set every red light off on & in their spy systems. Well I really don’t give a rats butt if I have. I am sick to death of all the stupid ,dangeriouse games and people not taking any responsibility for their own lives. We put the goverment there we need to stand up and be counted.Don’t like what the banks are doing STOP using their services, and that goes for all the other huge corporations. But that means all those instant gratifications will have to come to a screeching halt , You know all that have it now and pay for it later and life as we know it would actually take some real work and seriouse brain use and heaven for bid some real physical labor!!
Who am I ?Just an old gal who has worked since she was 14 paid into the system all her life and is barely making it . And I still haven’t recieved anything in the mail yet Frank , no cds, books or anything so could you check into it for me I know snail mail is slow but something should have arrived by now.
Communication is especially important to me
What are your thoughts.
Charlie
I haven’t been able to keep up with my email, so I don’t know what I have been missing. I did purchase the power4patriots wind and solar series and found the video to be lacking in detail and professionalism, especially the last solar one where the guys main vocabulary was “ah”. There seems to be two ways to hook up to the grid and no specifics and no specifics to hook up a wind mill to batteries or the grid.
I just saw someone in government worried about the EMP’s on the news yesterday, so I guess it is a bigger problem than we know.
Thanks for all you are attempting to do for the rest of us Frank. I truly appreciate it. All of it may not pertain to my particular situation but your efforts are very much appreciated because I see that they are aimed at our well being and not just at making money. I think that our country is in trouble and that it’s being contrived.
It’s so messed up that I think that we should be very careful about where we jump when the time come and we should be prepared. Solar houses may or may not help for a period of reconstruction….unless we have the components stored somewhere for a later time. The story that the Canadian guy Elmer (below) shared with us says a lot. The Obum’s new enforcement arm will soon be flexing its muscles to prove to themselves their power and to intimidate us. Be careful all.
As for me, I might pass all this any day, so not so important, but the young people who will continue to live a long time yet can really benefit from your efforts Frank. Again, thank you for all your efforts. You must have a big heart and love our country a lot.
Sincerely, Frank C.
What troubles me most is the out of control ( litterally) government. There is no accountability when the same corrupt and inefficient officials are re-elected by an ignorant citizenry. What scares me? Lack of attention to N. Korea and large ammo purchases by DHS!
Gun Control laws.
I think what concerns me more than anything are natural disasters. I think that any number of long lasting natural disasters could and eventually will plunge our civilization backwards 200 years. It will leave us with nothing short of a Zombie-like Apocalypse accept they won’t be Zombie’s. They will be more like a mob with “Excited Delirium” that can think and run much faster than Zombie’s. They will be able to use guns, cars and anything else they can get their hands on as a weapon. Zombie’s! Their kid’s play.
Frank’
What concerns me is I hear things that may be true or not. Why is Homeland Security buying over 1 and 1/2 billion rounds of 5.56 ammo, ordering 7000 fully auto m-16, and tanks. Are they the new ss troops? There only purpose would have to be the people since our military protects our borders.
The TRUTH is the key word I need every day! Amen
personally (you asked me, frank what were my thoughts, so here goes:) I think that all of you are really missing the true nature and type of enemy. it is not the government, but big business! the members of your government (and mine) al go into it for the love of power and the money. but you blame the left and others blame the right….there is little if any difference between them. same here although we have more political parties that you do, there is very little difference between them….they do not do our will a they are supposed to. they all bow down to the banks and big business rather than the people who voted for them. I myself being already retired have been thinking about this since i was a teenager.why do you think that the government gave out (in your case trillions of dollars to the banks and the automobile makers etc. in my case millions to automobile co’s and other oil interest etc.) govt. isn’t the scary big brother that you’d like to believe….the scary guys are pharma,g.m.,contruction’co’s etc. andweall let them do it to us. that ismy oinion, frank. hope that i didn’t upset your apple cart. sincerely, ron h
.
Hi Frank,
Sorry I haven’t responded before, I am a road service tech for cummins-onan power gen. So I am on the road a lot. I do try to read your stuff when I can, the solar, wind and food, even though I do have my own garden, and do can food.
The EMP’s is a possible problem I think, and will lead to big trouble amoung us.
I want say what I want to say because there is people that will make people go away, There is a comment on here that said a lot if you read what the man said (Your president is a socialist. He was raised by socialists and communists) I am sorry he got second term.
Just keep doing what you are doing and I will read when I can.
I think you publish way too much information. I cannot read it all in a timely manner and cannot save it to read later. It would be very helpful if you would make it so I can save into a special file folder and read at my leasure. This would be a great way to have reference material, too.
Sandy,
That is the wonderful thing about a blog. While I love to alert you to specific articles with the emails, you could unsubscribe from the emails and just read the blog when you have a chance. All of the articles are always available at http://www.power4patriots.com/blog
First off you should know that I reside in Canada. I have taken a serious interest in USA politics (and labor relations) for the past five years (around the time your president began running for his first term of office.)
Even thought I live north of the 49th whenever something serious (negative) occurs at your place the effects usually spill over to our side of the border.
I, along with many others, did not believe that Mr. Obama would win a second term. Granted the Republican Party did not run an effective campaign. It kept to the “high road” and did not use “gutter-style-politics” that the Democrats used. I could go on but this doesn’t fit in with your query.
If America does not wake up it is in danger of becoming a socialist country. If you want to see how well that kind of system works you only have to look at Europe. Your president is a socialist. He was raised by socialists and communists. Your economy affects our economy, we are each others largest trading partner. President Obama, in spite of what he says (you have to watch what he does instead) does not care a whit about the middle class. His goal is to keep expanding government until everyone must depend on it – he is will on his way of accomplishing this (approx. half of the USA is on food stamps, half of the homes receive some form of government assistance, and about half do not pay income tax.) He keeps spending, refuses to come up with a budget to reduce the debt, wants more tax money. Your Republic is in trouble and this is not good for Canada (or the world for that matter.)
I cannot understand why there isn’t more interest and public debate concerning the president’s decision to create a private civilian army equal in size etc to the current millitary (of which he is the Commander in Chief.) Your Department of Homeland Security has purchased so much ammunition (bullets) that the State of Arizona is running short (for its police/sheriff departments). It may take another six months for the order to be filled.
So, ask yourself: why does my president require a civilivan army/ I was told that it was to assist the public in time of need. If so (and I have my doubts) then this is a duplication of service since each state has a National Guard that, among other duties, also responds to public needs in time of crisis. So, you have a president who is reducing the effectiveness of the millitary at a rapid (and dangerous) rate and quickly building up “his” army.
So far your mainstream media has given President Obama a “pass”. Ninety percent of the media is controlled by six companies. This makes me uncomfortable: “control the media and you control the message.”
Now, here is a very sensitive question that a brave person might ask regard the president’s civilian army: Are the recruits asked if they are prepared to fire on fellow citizens if ordered to do so? The rumor has it that some senior millitary personnel, in the Pentagon, have been reassigned because they have replied “no” when posed with this question?
Okay, I apologize for the length of my reply. But, the economic health of your country also has a bearing on mine. And, right now, “things” do not look”good” on your side of the line.,.
ps: I apologize for any typos – I hate proofreading my stuff.
Hi Frank, I have written you several letters and never received any response, At the present time I don’t have any money or time to get involved with this alturnative method of powering my home. I mainly submitted this means as an alturnative when I do have the money and I was going on the assumsion that you may be removed from the net at any time. I am hanging onto the info that you have sent me and will get back to it when the time is right for me to proceed. Sorry for any inconvenience that I may have caused you. I have been working to the fact that I had to have my wife admitted to a nursing home so she could get proper care, which has been very time consuming and also trying to work Two Jobs at the age of 81 hasn’t been very enjoyable. I do appreciate the time and effort that you have spent with getting me straight, it (the info that you have sent) will get used in the near future. Thank You again, and will keep in touch!!!! Art J.
I want to know the best way to get rid of radio active waste so I can be sure when I read about things that you have shown me are not the only way to get rid of it ! Like dumping it at that building!
Where should this material be dealt with! I know first hand working as an inspector, and watching the back hoe dig up a layer of green yellow purple & black stuff, and wondering if I am going to die on the spot!!!!!!!!!
Or wondering if I had ingested this in anyway through our water towers & what is acceptable limits really!
Do they burn it & then we breath it, really where does it go!!!!!!!!!
Hi frank, every thing you havr put out there so far has been great, but what ticks me is the gov. going overboard in its authority and if the shtf the gov will stop del. of fuels from being del. so my questian is alternative fuel like moonshine,aka ethanol, turning veg oil into diesel and so on, if you have a chain saw or garden tiller or stand alone gen, will need something to make it run. will be waiting your reply and thanks.
Frank, I and my wife want to thank you for all of the advice you have shared with us. We have not put the plans into effect as yet. You see we are in the Philippines as self supporting Missionaries and we are working on helping a couple of schools to get up and running on solar and wind energy so that they can move to being more self supporting. That in turn will allow for more help to be available students in High School and College to be able to get their education. That is critical here where many young people come from family’s that are farm families and their annual income is maybe $3600 US a year. A college education is roughly $250 a semester and when they have six to eight kids that is a huge hunk of money for them. We are so blessed to be here and thank God each day for bringing us here. Thank you for your help that comes from your advise.
i an mostly interested in how to be more independant of large companies that seem to be controlling the country.
I here you and what really concerns me right now is our president not following the constitution and trying to take our rights away as American citizens specifically the second amendment. What do you think?
My concerns is that i am too poor to have the money to do what i know i need to do to help me survive. The time is shorter than i first thought. A few years before now it is down to the wire in my book.
Scared> Me never- fear is a killer.
Fighting mad not at all . I solve the problem with good clear thought.
All these things i just do not do never have and i hope never will’
There is one concern this Colloial Silver stuff how much of that would it take to sterilize 55 gallon of water rain off the roof, and how long would it be safe to use. I would get one of your generator for the silver.
Robert Hodson
You are doing a great job on the topics you share with us keep up the good work. I am interested in all you have. All subjects that you cover are interesting and educational. Thanks
I live in a townhome triplex. Many of the ideas are great and I like reading them and becoming informed, but many are not workable since there are community-wide restrictions and the portion of land that I own has my home on most of it and there is a very small patio outside the front door. Very little space to stock up on anything as well.
Frank,
What do you know about over unity electric generators? Are they real? If so, a book and plans would be extremly helpful to the masses.
Thanks
Ryan
Ryan,
Perhaps someday humanity will harbor a greater mind than Einstein’s and we will find a way to bunk Conservation of Energy. Until then, it’s snake oil.
My opinion is that being self sufficient and independent is important, but there must also be a basic recognition that we cannot do it alone, and there must be a spirit of goodwill and community that holds us all together. Human beings never could have survived and flourished for as long as we have without working together for the bigger picture. Socialism? No, just a plain fact. What makes our country unique is that we are constantly working to find the balance between individual rights and the community as a whole.
Look at the first American colonies. Many were founded purely for profit, and everyone ended up getting wiped out. Those that survived had some common bond of community, a sense of value. Now life seems to have little value to anyone. Our soldiers are used to enrich criminals, and then they are abandoned after returning from war by a broken system.
Society at the moment is every man for himself, with an attitude of “if you’re not related to me, then f*ck you”. Human beings can’t survive for long like this, and if you look at our country, you’ll see the very fabric of community is being ripped apart. Everyone wants to be rich, so you have CEOs and bankers looting millions of our tax dollars, and then moving that money out of the tax system offshore somewhere, never to be seen again. It may be invested in Dubai or Aisa, but never back where it came from. And so we all get poorer and poorer. The basic truth it that until we start thinking about our neighbor before we think of ourselves then our problems will only get worse.
Hi Frank,
I like and appreciate the informative e-mails you send out each week, but I grow frustrated with the constant attempt to sell me something.
Topics I would like to hear about are:
-A detailed comparison of food storage products i.e. Wise vs. Mountain House vs. Noah’s Pantry etc. It is very confusing trying to compare apples to apples with these products.
-Similarly, maybe a comparison of different brands of water filters.
Thanks!
What hapens to the volume of area when oil, coal or any material is removed from beneath the surface. What fills the area ? Is it just a big hole?
I appreciate all the information you have sent. It comes to no surprise as what is happening in the US today. I came across the information some time ago and what you have posted confirms what I have been hearing. I have seen the videos of the tanks and armored vehicles on trains being transported across the country. I have talked first hand to people that have seen the black heliocoptors escorting the caravans of FEMA vehicles on the highway. I have seen Army helio’s fly like the wind to check out a private BBQ of about 200+ people, slow down, break formation long enough to take pictures and go back into formation and continue on their way. Yes, I believe we will soon be under attack, wether it be from our own government or that of another. Yet, just like the hero’s in the Bible, I have peace in knowing I am protected by the one most high. Don’t get me wrong, I understand it may not be an easy task, but as it says in Rev. 17, the saints will overcome. I am fortunate enough to know how to prep and store foods, cook without the modern appliances and forage food from the wild. What I do believe is the more this word is put into public view, the better prepared the public will be when SHTF. Not too long ago, ice storms hit the southern Indiana area. A long time friend of mine’s son came to her and said the food in the fridge had spoiled – and he couldn’t afford to eat out all the time, because they couldn’t cook. She told him she put her cold stuff in a cooler in the garage and used her BBQ grill to cook on. He simply didn’t think about it. The younger generation these days has lost this kind of common sense training because both thier parents worked or they were raised in a single parent home. This is the kind of thing that people just don’t think of. Common sense survival stuff. People in the hurricane areas know, or have learned the hard way, that ya gotta do what ya gotta do and not depend on others. Look what hurricane Sandy did to the northeast or Katrina did to New Orleans. If these people had any common sense they would have loaded the school busses with refugees and moved them out of harm’s way and saved the busses from being flooded in the process. I keep telling myself that people get what they don’t expect because they don’t think things through. A simple checklist of what would you do if questions were given first. Like, ‘what would you do if the electricity was out for days at a time? How would you store your food, cook, clean and etc?’ I learned a long time ago, questions keep a person ready to respond. That’s what people want to do anyway. So make up intellegent questions that really make them think of their answers – before they want to respond or tune out of what information you want to share with them. I hope this has helped. Fran
Frank;
The info you have is very far reaching as it should be to help us listeners to think!
and then to take action to formulate a course that best suits their own situation..
all i can say is thank you for that
i am very proud of my country how ever in all my years i have never been as distressed some much over our current leadership,, angery and mad and ticked off
as stated many times our own government gives foregners more rights than its own people!!
we need to be as self sufficiant as we can be..
we give away so much to countrys that hate us why???
if we needed them that bad WE are in real trouble.
my dad told me years ago that we would be taken over by some other system without a shot being fired! And WE will be to blame, history repeats it self ,human nature will never change,
Warriors hate war ,but prepare for it , those who preace peace at all costs are foolish..
Ben Frankilin said A goverment big enough to give you what you want is big enough to take it all away!!!
Our founding fathers looked forward to this day when the goverment could go to far, thus the Constitution of these United State fo America. If our government can’t follow that what have they done and who put them there?? We the people have be come complacent in all fo our compforts.
just a country boy.
In reading some of the comments posted here and in other areas of Frank’s blogs, I have to laugh at some and agree with others. I too am an old guy and former military as are most of us old guys. I believe in getting off of the main road right now because I believe it’s going straight to hell and dragging us down with it. In doing this, I’ve for the most part gone solar, Im planning on adding wind power and would like to fortify my home against attacks. the only problen is that I can’t do it by my self and my house is by deffinition undefencable. I have decided that my only option is to turn my home into several different kiling fields. I can’t protect the front while the back comes under attack, nor can I protect more than one area at a time by my self. However; if my plan works out, that shouldn’t be much of a problem in the future. Boarding up doors and windows will help, (as in preping for a huracane) but God help anyone who gets past that.
It’s not fun living with these thoughts and problems. It’s not the type of retirrement I had envisioned when I was younger, especially after the so called cold war wound down and the ever present feer in the 60s of necular devestation eased off. Well guess what, not a lot has changed, we still feer mob violence, starvation, the brake down of society, and other natural desasters. Followed by yep, more mob violence… It doesn’t seem to stop and I wonder if preping is going to be worth it in the long run. I’m 72 and have what 10, mabe 15 years and I’m preping to hold out for months on end. For what? Well, I’m not a quitter.
Being retired Navy and never having spent a minute of my time in any court being accused of anything–I find it astonishing that I am a “suspect” in the eyes of the guy in the White House. He’s worried about how many rounds the magazine in my target rifle holds but seems to have no problem with giving a Leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, now President of Egypt, F-16 Fighter Jets, M1 Abrams tanks and many billions of dollars from the taxpayers, present and future who will pay for this largesse. Now, I even found out I am further suspected because I am preparing for what now seems to be the inevitable result of printing money as fast as Bernanke can get the presses to run (since 09) and a national debt fast approaching 17 TRILLION dollars with the President saying its “in a sustainable place” ??? Would someone who knows please tell me what the hell it is I’m missing here?
Hi Frank
I’m a old guy but I enjoy your articals . Now my son is retiring and this fall we are going to build one or more turbines . Also I have watched your add on yahoo .Keep up the good work Gordon
Your info is very eye opening and very informative…only wish more people took this serious…
The country of USA would be sure to open up new window even in a fainancially difficult time as
the true leader of the whole world. Still, some sort of people want to occur the conflict by uprising
the nationalistic sentiments even after 68 years ago. Arms alone could not solve the problems.
Religion seems also unable to lead the world in the end. So, Individual Independence should be
the foremost importance to advance the world to live in peace with good freedeom.
What we have to fight is not the person or the social body. Our last enemy might be within ourself,sure.
I would like to live full time in an RV and eat wild greens most of the time. I’m pretty afraid I might end up being poisoned one day.
My question is we live in an apartment and the energy bills are so high! What can we do if we live in an apartment?
I am now Disabled and have problems getting around. I am on a fixed income and not sure how i can provide for my wife and son. I think the president is planing to sell out the U S A to its debt holders for some kind of profit of his own. He is not creating jobs. He is raising taxes so small and big buisness’s are takeing the hit. Unemployment is going down because most of the people are running out of there compensation. His figures are based on pay out, NOT the actual people out of work!
I’m preparing to separate my living space from the masses. Feeling separate and able to provide for myself and those close to me is my goal. No sense expecting anyone else to do it for me.
an external alert/alarm system that when a person is within 3 feet of a window or door. most alarms do not activatuntil someone is in the house! the system should avoid false alarms due to animals or blowing items. thank you
the one best most efficient energy electric source that one would for a home to run a refig, freezer, and elec motor on a gas furnace for 2 to 4 weeks during emergency situations.
I would like to buy it as a kit or finished product . also, discuss stirling solar generators thank you
How about the possibility of making bio-fuel on a small scale affordable scale. I have pastures and cattle. Would love to be able to produce enough fuel for my tractor to run my pto driven generator. By the way, your dark background on your pages make reading them VERY difficult on my phone where I usually access the internet.
i want a price from you on the parts to build my own solar panels . then i want to know if u can be competetive in the battery arena. i am going to build a 3500 watt system,even if i have to do it 500 bucks at a time at harbor freight. what scares me is having our civil rights violated and nobody seems to care. people are silly, gullable, and think the only rights they have are to remain silent.i am interested in exercising my rights. Bob Webb
We again can thank all the dummies that elected him and again…….
What’s under my skin today is what I perceive as the breakdown of the justice system with respect to the Landlord/Tenant Act here in Virginia.
I own a few houses where I rent rooms by the week. All the tenants share the kitchen, furnished common areas, Cable TV, and washer/dryer.
Renting this way has higher yields, yet is definately more hassle. You can only imagine my clientele.
I think I have now heard every excuse there is about why they can’t pay their rent on time. These are people that are one step out of being homeless. This also spreads my risk out vs. the conventional method of renting to one person who can’t make the rent.
My problem is I try to be a nice guy if they are normally a good tenant. Yes, there is a late fee for not paying on time, but this mostly compounds their financial problems, and they get further into the hole.
Trying to play legal is about to put me out of business. I take them to court, they don’t show up, then I get a judgement, then I have to get an unlawful detainer, and bring in the sheriff’s office, along with 2 others of my choosing to remove their belongings, if any.
They run off owing me thousands, and I never get paid.
I now have changed the way I do business. I don’t let them get into me for more than their deposit of $200.00. I charge 135/wk plus 25$ late charge.
They get totally irate, and I’m afraid one day I’m going to go off and crack one of them in the head, or put a cap in one of their asses!
Problem is, they have nothing to lose, and I do. I can’t afford a criminal record or lose time in jail.
These deadbeats just move on and do the same thing to some other unsuspecting landlord. The court can tell you….. “yes, they owe you the money……… but I can’t tell you how to collect it.”
They normally don’t have bank accounts, and hunting them down is a waste of time.
Frustrated as hell, I want out of the rental business. I’m already pissed by the time I get on the highway going over to collect rent. I collect at noon on Sunday, because if they get paid on Friday, they are broke on Monday.
The court should put these people in jail, but then again the taxpayer would end up paying for it, and the criminal would get 3 square meals a day and a cot.
Trust me, I’ve thought of just about every possible thing to do that is legal, Now I’m out thousands, and considering the baseball bat treatment on them at night.
Any ideas…………….
trying to Survive!
To Frank Bates:
Today, when I read blogs, I see some people who have some documented facts and some intelligent discussion going on. But lots of the things written in blogs and comments are nothing more than uninformed, unconstructive vitriol and hate, soliciting others to join in with nothing but complaints that are not backed by any actual facts, complaints seeming to imply that all the troubles in the world are caused by just one man, complaints that fail to give credit for efforts to manage things as best they can be managed, where there NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE BY ANYONE to put on a quick fix that would solve certain kinds of problems forever.
Hate mongering, fear mongering, baseless accusations, suspicion creating… Such things I learned years ago, working at a swimming pool, are things even learning challenged individuals can do loudly and demandingly and angrily.
Looking around me at age 79, today, I see people who have made tons of money and are bankrupt because they have not managed their health well. I still enjoy strenuous exercise and excellent health, because I have managed my life. I enjoy minimalist camping and, therefore, know quite a bit about what is in a forest and WHAT IS NOT in a forest. To speak as if, following a nuclear attack on the U. S., people could survive in a forest is weird. To speak as if the answer to being safe in the social chaos following a national disaster would rely on having plenty of guns and ammo invites not just oneself to have guns and ammo but others, too. They would be used not only to defend against being robbed or raped, but by those who rob and rape.
I enjoy talk of survival, and suggestions as to how to stock and preserve a secret cache of survival food and water. HOWEVER, the only hope for many at all to survive a large calamity or attack would be CONSTRUCTIVE and COOPERATIVE work to restore order… and NOT an empnasis on living like rats on a stash of gear and killing anyone who approached.
Humankind has NOT gotten where it is today by self-serving and defending, only. And humankind will not survive for long if things get horrid, by a focus on self-serving and defending only. A bunker mentality might be good for a few days, but in weeks, months, years… following a huge, catastrophic disruption of cooperative living, the survival of more than a small group of predatory criminals would depend more on constructing communities, with ocmmunity goals and wise cooperation than on self-serving bunker-style survival.
I LIKE suggestions about storing food, and having a gun and some ammunition, but for many to live there has to be COOPERATIVE farming, COOPERATIVE food storage, COOPERATIVE plans to regain order after a major disruption of life.
What I fear more than anything else, is people who think solutions to things are all about what individuals do for themselves and their immediate family and cohorts, only.
I think we live in a very violent nation. The pilgrims came with a different idea and see how things have change thru time. We have become into a self centered selfish and paranoid nation instead of a caring and friendly and family oriented. I really thank you for all the information, its great and it comes very handy.
Remember together we stand apart we fall.
Frank, we also thank you for a lot of the information you post and especially the solar power information. I also believe there has to be balance in everything. As Christians, my husband and I are not scared, we serve a big God who has promised to take care of us. Yes, we do have extra food and water. We had to live in a tent for three months waiting for escrow to close on our home because our lease had ended in the house we rented and had no where to go except a tent on family property. That taught us a lot and that we can survive without electricity and how to cook without electricity. We have chosen not to live in fear day to day. We have planted a garden and will dehydrate as much as possible and we will be prepared as much as possible. We will share with those that don’t have. We believe no matter what our enemies have in store or what our own government has in store for us, Jesus has promised to take care of us, and if we don’t make it through, then for us it’s still a win win situation, we will see Him face to face.
Frank, Thank you for all the information you have passed on to me thus far.
My main concern is that my children do not take my suggestions/warnings seriously.
They are luke warm, and roll their eyes at me when I try to discuss survival.
I do see one of my sons has taken some steps towards towards emergency preparedness, and I’m hoping my other son will follow suit. The information I’ve collected from you is priceless for someone like myself. I am in my sixties and thinking of my children and grandchildren.
I live on a limited income, and do not have money to purchase a lot of things, so the knowledge you share with me is priceless. What bothers me is, if I lose my computer or electricity there goes my information. Thank you for sharing your survival technics with others, it’s much appreciated.
My parents live in Alabama where the tornado activity is getting ridiculous. They have a bunker built that they can hide in when they know a storm is coming, but who wants to live like that? What type of survival electric and water ideas do you have that can survive a tornado and still provide them with the essentials while they wait out the storm in their shelter?
How to hook up for your wind turbine and main power to use so when your batteries are low your main power will take over.
How can we stop the chemtrails spraying aluminun oxide and barium on us? WHO is doing this?
This is ruining our soil and contaminating our bodies!!
I’m worried about what the people will become after any major disaster be it economic collapse or loss of power grid or what ever. The general population will turn into something like a zombie. Just mindless creatures following each other in a mob taking and doing what ever they want. I want to be prepared to defend my home and family and my resources that I have here
Frank, I appreciate having someone in my corner watching my back as you do!
Having said that, I find myself in need of help? I’ve read the book and watched the videos many times, and searched the Internet many times. I feel really stupid, but I have to say I’m stumped by the concept of breaking free of the ” grid” via solar, or wind or both. I can see how it is possible to use solar, but is it practical? My concept is that batteries become ones source, but how does one find the quantity of the batteries they need? Now it would be very easy to return my products and just wash my hands of this concept, but I believe this is the real thing. Some of my questions are while the motor suggested for use is no longer made, what can be used as a replacement? I’ve shopped all over for a used electric mower, but people just seem to throw them away when they stop working. Even the junk yard doesn’t keep them around. I’ve also gone to several hardware stores asking for a voltage controller, but no one has a clue as to what I need. I could build one, but haven’t found any plans, as yet with specifics for what I need.
So, to tell you the truth, I’m confused and bewildered. As far as wind power goes, I hoped to put the unit onto my rooftop. Then I found a source that said rooftop wind turbines don’t work because of interference with structures and other buildings in the way. The city I’m in doesn’t allow towers, so what’s a fellow to do?
I’m likin’ what you’re saying, Frank, but I thought you would answer my questions that I had on solar power. I just wanted to know if Chicago Electric is a good brand of solar panels or inverters. Harbor freight had what looked like a good sale on 45 watt panels for $139 each and 5000 watt inverter for $399. Are they good prices or are they inferior products???? Thanks, Dale.
I, personally, have had bad luck with anything Harbor Freight sells in the solar space. Stuff does not last long and its impossible to get help if you need it because they don’t know anything about solar. I would go with these instead:http://www.spheralsolar.com/categories/Solar-Panels-and-Cells/Solar-Panels-By-Brand/Solartech-Solar-Panels/
I would like to pose a question that truly bothers me as I prepare for the downfall of our nation:
I know that there will be those who didn’t look, listen or take survival efforts seriously who will wind up on my doorstep begging for a handout. That person will be instructed to leave or take the consequences, up to and including being shot to death. But here’s my problem: If this guy brings his starving children with him I will be in a real stressful position. I don’t want the kids to see me shoot their father, nor do I want to feel like a monster by turning away starving children. In such a situation, I would like viable alternatives to actions to be taken that will not deprive my own family from the benefits of having sufficient water, foodstuffs, medications, bullets and weapons. One person I spoke with told me to simply shoot the father and the children…I know that is not an option I care to take. Any ideas?
Thank God we still have free speech, even if they are collecting our names as we post our comments. I want to thank you for all the varied information you already have provided and especially the Solar and Wind Energy info. One of the real needs are sources for low cost material for these projects, while maintaining quality of the products. The sourcing of material is a big chore for many. Also, regarding First Aid kits, a simple but complete kit layout is needed from experienced wilderness types. My training in First Aid was great for getting a victom to the nearest hospital, but I would like to know more for wilderness support. A good book on natural medicinal plants in North America would be handy. If things go the way we expect, there will be no doctors, hospitals or clinics for support Over all you sure have covered many bases. OH one more thing, how in hell do we carry all this information books etc.??
Thanks for everything.
When you are talking about a Power4Patriots system that gives out 1300 watts Solar & 400 watts Wind……..like Kriss mentioned in the video:
1, Is that a day, week or month……………..?
2. How many kWh does that convert to……?
3. What is the cost per kWh…………………?
Knowing this you can go back and figure what the payback will be for the initial investment.
4. What is the payback for the initial investment…..?
I would also say that I agree 150% with RJB Robert J. Brock’s comment about your sales pitch. I just wanted to say ‘DITTO…..!”
The reason I’m getting off the grid completely is because the day will come (and sooner than anyone would suspect) electric power will be turned off; my fridge(s), freezer, heaters, furnace, anything electrical will be useless. And those who are not prepared will end up in a FEMA camp (where they want you) wondering whappened.
My conserns are if I will ever be able to sell my home for what I paid for it?. If so, when?
Have you read The Harbinger? While I have been worried about this Country on the down slide for sometime, I now tie this into the gradual drift of this country away from God. We focus on taking religous and religious icons out of the public eye, removing reference to God in our daily activities for we have become a country that feels we can go it alone and continue to be the powerful country we have been without the blessing of the Almighty. The envy of several countries who are dedicated to the down fall of the US is a real threat that we must face, and not face it alone.
I am most concerned about fresh water. Even living in MI, with The Great Lakes. The water of the big lakes, especially Lake MI is VERY LOW. Where is it going?
Thank you.
I hope I don’t disappoint you with this answer to your question. I’m really not afraid of anything. I’m 70 years old, a born again Christian for 40 years, decorated Vietnam vet (Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Army commendation metals), spent 15 and half years in prison, have been married for 42 years and still am, I’m healthy and I don’t fear death. I originally got your solar info because of pure curiosity. I’ve an electronics/computer background and enjoy reading about that sort of thing. Have a great day in the Lord.
You cover & place importance on some topics that would not think of on my own. Some suggestions don’t seem completely though, like Purifying Water.
I doubt that our country will collapse any time soon. There are many serious people who make it work.
Our Gov. pays Farmers NOT to plant thier fields, & on top of that some ignoram-@$$es in Kentucky threatened to not plant their fiends & falsely claim they were suffering drought when they weren’t specifically saying they were going to purposely cause starvation in the U.S., … they were already claiming to have dought when the grass was green every where & the lakes & streams were flowing fine, but they threatened it specifically verbally to me the last time I was there.. So, I know for a fact those “threats”, are purposely made & orchestrated threats.
I never could understand how a loaf of bread could some day cost a wheel barrel full of gold. So, the Gold & Silver Hoarding seems completely rediculous to me.
I strongly support our Right to Bare Arms, but I don’t own a gun myself.
I don’t plan on leaving my home, which we own, treating injuries & illness seem most important, especially since our Medical Industry has been taken over by Non-Americans who we cannot trust & who obviously have been practicing Genocide on the American public for decades, decades!!!! That is a serious problem in this country, that we cannot trust anyone, even when we are paying for their services, & have Health Insurence. I hate having Health Ins., …it only means the Psychotic Doctor will be paid, even if he murders me, or injured, mames, sterilizes like a dog, or prescribes unneccessary medications that are guaranteed to destroy my Health with prolonged use, & the doctor claims they must be taken for the rest of my life. (I am not on any presciption meds., I don’t trust them at all).
So, there are many things wrong with this world, & our society. I don’t know that a financial collapse is really a possibility.
Hey Debbie S if all fails you sure have fath in the lord that the zombies are just a bunch of BS so that you will spend more of your money on junk that you don’t realy need.
I like all your suggestions for preparedness
Any disaster, either caused by terrorist or nature will be devistating. I like to be prepared.
get rid of obama an all the liberals…start over again
Initially, after a catastrophy, we have a lot of ignorant people in heavily concentrated areas.
Worse than a zombie horde, because some of them can still think. What can you do when this happens, with no fence (Even with fence) your crops and panels will be stolen, your house broken into, and we’ve all seen zombie movies, once you start shooting more come. So you can’t stay, you can’t go. Even worse if you have a family. You can’t talk to anyone about becoming a group because then you become marked as a terrorist. Even then most ppl think your crazy because you just want to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. I’ve only got one solution, to read my Bible and pray for those that wish me harm, and that God guides my bullets like David when I have need to legally defend myself.
Thank you for your e-mails, they are greatly appreciated. What bothers me most, at this point, is that we, as a nation, are distancing our self’s from what this country was founded on, and that is the Bible! I mean more than half of our founding fathers were, in fact, ministers as well as statesman and government officials. Our getting away from our Biblical teachings is very critical in these trying times. In Acts 4:12 we read, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved”.
Just look at the apostle Paul, there is no other person in the Bible, aside from Christ Himself, that had a more profound influence on his world and ours than the Apostle Paul. This man, who tormented and killed the saints of God, understood and explained grace better than any of his contemporaries. Why? Because he never got over his own gratitude as a recipient of it. God’s super-abounding grace transformed this once-violent aggressor into a humble-but-powerful spokesman for Christ. A man with that much grit desperately needed that much grace, and so do we!
Perhaps that’s why Paul’s life is such a source of hope for us today. If the chief of sinners can be forgiven and become God’s chosen vessel, can He not forgive and use us as well? The Biblical answer is yes He can, if we too become people of both grace and grit.
Along with all of today’s daily distractions and unsettling newscasts today, we, as a nation, must get back to the basics of scripture, and on a daily bases. God bless.
Give a city apartment dweller survival tips (aside from “Get out of Dodge”).
What about indoor gardening tips for us, too! Is it possible? Or will the weight of containers compromise the carpeted floor?
Frank,
I like what you had to say and you actually – for the most part – sold me in the 1st few minutes of your very long spiel – which was to long and over kill.
I cannot tell you how many times I almost hit DELETE.
At the beginning of the digital Sales pitch – you said to invest 3 minutes – it actually took much longer – which actually bothered me.
And the after the fact come-ons – were over the top.
Candidly, I thought we were getting “original copies” of everything on the $27.00 offer; when I hit purchase and discovered we were only going to get digital download (which you do not make CLEAR) – I thought SCAM.
Don’t get me wrong – I like what you are doing – and will try to put your ideas into action, especially at our ranch, but for legitimate Buyers – Please give serious people an option to “hear” and understand clearly – a “Cliff Notes” version of your painfully long sales pitch.
Yes – it worked – so good for you for selling me, but I can’t and won’t recommend this to any of my friends to listen to because of its droning sales pitch.
You and Porter Stansberry must have taken notes from the same mass marketing Sales pitch advisor.
Whenever I get email from Stansberry & Associates – I just hit delete.
Time is valuable – if you have something worth saying – say it – and cut to the chase.
Sincerely,
RJB
Robert J. Brock
anything you want to tell me. i am saving the information in case i want it later.
Research & write about WHEN most people think the SHTF… 3 mos? 2013? 2017 coincides with Bible? 2020 talked about on Alex Jones’. …WHEN?
Another topic: How to bring your family, relatives & friends up to speed as economically & quickly as possible for when THEY begin “seeing the light”.
AND… How to deal with the elderly & disabled? …What can THEY do to prep instead of just relying on us?
Also, What may be the most important SKILLS to being self-reliant?
How to go about organizing your local neighborhood?: being taken seriously & not as a nut case.
Well , I’ve got one major problem.! I’m responsible for the well being of a 90 year old Mother-in-Law.!
Alzheimers is another problem , cognitive skills , rational , senses…? Eeek..! Gone.! I Just thought I’d share , gives “Till Death Do Us Part”a whole new meaning..? EeeeeK..!
I personally am an extremest (out-doors type) , and don’t see any problems directly on my own.
My wife’s pretty tough and well schooled over some 26+ years.! Mom may be the death of me in a “Major” Threat.!
I’m so glad that someone is really trying to help get ready for the comeing threats. I’m sure that it will happen and I’m working on my solar and wind power system. Always wanted to build my own system but never knew how. Thanks to you I feel I will be able too. Didn’t even get the package yet but looked at it on line and feel it realy was worth it. Now I see the seed vault. But me and my wife are disabled living on $1,600 a mouth. And even $30 is a lot. I will be looking forward to any other thing you put together for those of us that know the government will be over welmed when it or should I say them. Cause a majer thing happens the riots and the battles with others that want what we have will change everything. Then god bless us all. And I just started to buy 10acers for 250 a month. I’m going too be ready.
“TRUST NO ONE, QUESTION EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING”
That’s how I choose to live my life. I am able to survive anything, anywhere, and anytime. Keep up the good work. You have people thinking and talking. That’s one of the things that make my Country so Great. Many THANKS!!!!!
Thanks for asking! I enjoy your material and got my survival seeds! I worry about what happens to the dollar when it loses it’s world currency status. i OWN SILVER AND HAVE SOLD SOME BUT I get back declining american dollars for my trouble. What will we use for currency when the dollar goes by by? Deb
I have bought 4 sets of seeds, gave some to my close friends. we all are excited that the seeds from our garden can be used to replant.
The polititians and the government should be everyones biggest concern. It should be noted that without the rich there would be no jobs for the middle class or the poor.
How many panels does it take to produce electricity and the connection for electricity was very poor. I could build the panels but? Also the wind turbine, where or how is the hub made or come frm. All this does is chg a 12 volt battery? Disappointing.
Inspite of all our preparation, if the worst happens, what do we do when the “zombies” come?
My guess is we will be on our own and have to accept that we did the best we could.
you have provided a lot of info on not only solar energy, but food for thought about being prepared for whatever might be in our future. Don’t know if we should expect trouble, but it sure beats not doing anything and then wishing we had. My concerns are with our polititians and the government in general. We elect these guys and gals to control our country’s business and money, but their goals are certainly not what we ask for. Keep up the good work and thanks for all of your info on solar power.
I am curious about having my system in a feed grid capability using my produced power while on grid to supplement my cost during my transition to complete my off grid needs so i can disconnect from the grid in case of needing full power supply needs in case of grid down is it as simple as having a separate disconnect like turn one off turn the other on.
This country was built on the backs and the lives of the middle class and lower class, while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. At the same time there is some oppurtunity for those who have a certain creativity and imagination to break free of the repetitive cycle of stupidity pushed on us by those wanting us to depend on authority. For the most part, people accept this as a natural part of living. Horse putooties!!! Thank you for showing us how we are getting ripped off!!! Just having the oppurtunity to make a difference in ones own simple life, as you offer it, is wonderful and a blessing!!! I am about to retire, and will make one of my major projects, solar panels, and wind turbines. Growth in ones self and creativity, with inspiration from those that actually care, makes a real difference. Thank you Frank very much for giving a sh .t !!! There aren’t many in this world that do….Especially politicians!!!
I would like to know more about how I can protect my solar panels, solar well, and wind generator (or electrical components inside) from an EMP.
Hi: Frank you are do a great job. I am looking to learn more about been ready for it all. Keep up the good work Think Mike
I have a couplle of things first is I purchased the solar and wind power and saw a add for less money for additional programs how can I get the additional programs or should i return this package and re order the one for 27.00
second I think we need to rid our government from all these lying cheating and imoral people in washington.. HOW do we do that when the adverage people has no chance of making changes when 47 percent of other people have nothing to loose by putting in incompetant goverment officials
Fix the government and the rest will fall into place
I like the info in the package I have seen so far but would like the water purification and the other programs you advertised
I bought your Power 4 Patriots solar info, an excellent package, so that our small charity can provide power – light, and water pumping for many clinics and isolated villages where we work in bush areas of East Africa.
My husband and I are British- actually from Scotland and have worked all over the world for over 30 years. Our kids were raised in East Africa in both Christian and Muslim countries where they ran free from an early age and grew up speaking 4 languages. They were the only white kids for 500 miles yet were NEVER in danger.
I have spent time with friends in various parts of the US and find it a beautiful country yet It is the only place I have ever been where I have found people to be living in fear and so absolutely paranoid that they are about to be attacked.
PLEASE can you tell me WHAT exactly is the US so absolutely terrified of ?.
I think it is very SAD that people are kept in this state of constant fear.
The thing I feel that we are going to have a Civil War. I am Ret. from military and worked as a Police Officer and Ret. from there as a supervisor. And I am also part of the Masonic Lodge. But with dealing with the intercity kids have no Patents that give a *uck.
But us people need to have a party and invite ur friends over and make a game of them put their best thing that their good at and set up a small commenity with ur friends. And take care of each other.
Many of us take maintainance medications. If the supply chain were interrupted for an extended time, we would need to seek other remedies. Do you have anything to share on that subject?
were can we get cheap ammo and high cap mags? .223 surefire mags 60 or 100 rounds.
You are doing just fine, I like the variety. I live in an adult community, so I can only dream about some of you DIY things. I haven’t brought up the possibility of solar water heating or power here!
thanks
office of homeland security, looks like SS sounds SS feels like SS. I wonder, Germany 1938
I need all the information I can get on being energy independent. I want all I can do to be free of the energy company.
The thing that really scares me right now, is the dictator wannabe, barack obama. And, just in case
you might be wondering why I don’t capitalize his name, is because I refuse to capitalize the name of anyone for whom I have no respect.
I have been doing that practice for quite some time, now. And the fact that all these poor schmucks who are so blind, to have elected him in the first place, & then re-elected him, that
scares the heck out of me! Right now, I am in mourning for our country.
We need to get this country back on track. Every time I think about obama, I go ballistic!
So, I won’t say any more. And as Forest Gump so eloquently stated, “that’s all I have to say about that.”
i would like to know more about Department of Homeland Security preparing for civil unrest in US.
They are purchasing a multitude of weapons.
30,000 Armed Drones (Land & Sky)
Tens of thousands of fully automatic assault rifles
and recently 2,700 armored cars
over 4 billion rounds of ammo
and building a private “Black-Ops Army”
My greatest problem is getting a job I got fired for making a poor comment at a liberal company during the election season. I have not worked a day since. The state gave me unemployment because they said I was fired unjustly, very true, however I don’t like not working. I have been employed since I was 18 years old set all my kids through college an I am sitting at home sending out 8-10 applications a week with no offers. I put myself through college when the steel industry was going south 12 years ago an even with an associates in electronic eng. hear I sit. I am using the time getting ready to build my power system and stocking up on amo. Let them come for me I will die as a patriot and then they can take my gun from me. sick and tired of this economy and sick and tired of the liberal press.
What do you suppose Homeland Security is going to do with 2700 armored vehicles and 1.6 billion bullets?
Hi Frank:
What scares me the most is an EMP attack. My husband and I are from farm backgrounds so we know what hard work is. But we are in our 70’s and would find it very difficult to survive an EMP attack for a length of weeks or months..
Hi Frank, I am an American Vetran and proud of my Flag. Can’t say I am really proud of my Country Right now .With what is going on and all. My peeves are is that we have a President in office that has broken so many laws and told so many lies that had onyeone of us tried what he has done or a Republican had done we would have been put under the jail. No but for some reason when Nixon admited he lied they were ready to impeach him but he saved face by going ahead and resigning. Why is we can’t do anything to Obama about his wrong doings? I have a 63 Page Document from California Suprem Court That proves Obama is not a citezen of the USA. The last time he filed Income taxes the Social Security Number he used did not match to him. The document mentions 3 Social Security numbers None of which is actually his. Three names that he has used in his lifetime. All false. The papers say he was born in Indonesia and he even talkes about growing up there. The so called Czars he has up there this is unheard of with any other President. Over 2/3 of the Czars are COMMUNIST. So please tell me why is he President. I got more right to be President than he does. And he defames GOD tramples our Flag and trying to destroy our Constitution. Now he wants to disarm us. There is 200,000 Russian troops in America with German troops here and somwhere around 60,000 or more Chinese Troops on a base 65 miles south of Laraedo,TX.in Mexico. You have Mexican Officiales asking The Senate to give them a list ofnames anaddress of legal gun owners in all states that border Mexico. They have no right to have this info except to pass it to the Chinese. What can we do. How can we stop Obama and what he is doing to destroy America?/??
I am a 90 year old man with type 11 diabetes, and nueropathy which causes me to fall a lot. I used to be a work-aholic, but not anymore. I was a do it yourself-er all my life(machinist tool maker model maker), but not anymore. I am a stronge old man after working out at the gym 3 times a week for 30+ years.
I am now in the proccess of planting seeds, but it is very difficult to keep my balance when using the spading fork when turning over the ground.
I don’t know what things I need to know except how to get rid of my diabetes. Jesse
Hi Frank,
How about a newsletter on the government continually printing more fiat currency to cover the national debt and affects on the average people, inflation/ hyperinflation and what we can do to prepare for it. Is gold and silver truly a hedge against inflation and a good buy at historically high prices or is it way overpriced?
C
I do not expect a sudden collapse of our currency system as the next disaster but a slow continued inflation that will accelerate exponentially over the next year and have found no insights, except for wealthy, on how for a small business man with no real capital or reserves to invest to survive I own my own tools and have 1/2 of my property’s current value mortgaged. how to keep up with inflation on a daily or weekly basis, know when to raise prices, and survive the banks taking over secure mortgaged properties (that is desirable equity positioned) .
Our group lives on the coast. Very concerned about lack of fresh water. Been reviewing different
boat pumps to convert salt to fresh. Any knowledge of those?
Also, tired of being angry. Just now concentrating on protecting my family.
Thanks
Let say I don’t want to be all the way off the grid just cut my bill in half or more but if the day comes I can be 100 % off the grid? As it will take a lot more time as I live in Rockford , IL and will need to get permits and all that.
Hello Frank,
I have received the cd rom on power for patriots; wind generators and solar generators. I would like to see some information on air water generators. They consume some energy but would also eliminate the need for water purification at least as a percentage. Also if i build 2 wind generators and a solar generator my power requirements can be modified to fit any need. This 3rd element in emergency preparedness seems logical to me. Wind, solar, water. Many of my emergency food items include dry soup mixes, if i was running a water generator i could use this water for drinking as well as making a nice soup. The cost recovery curve is around six years. Do you know what the cost of an air water generator would run.?
On another note, i would enjoy it if all of america could have emergency power and all of America could enjoy a garden. This would reduce America’s carbon footprint by 10% per year forever.
I know that you are entitled to generate a profit, But I can’t help but think of what Benjamin Franklin did when he invented the lightning rod! he did not patent his technology nor charge any one for the information neccesary to protect their home or buisiness from a direct lightning hit his view was that this invention so benaficial to mankind that he gave the design and installation details to anyone that wanted them for free. He felt that strongly about the benefits to our society overruled any monetary compensation the would come his way. A truly honorable man and i can assure you had it not been for Mr. Franklin that this country would not have the lasting foundations that are spelled out in our Constitution as well as the declaration of Indapendence. I am not saying that you are charging an unreasonable fee for this how to hand book however that is all that it is, the succsess of the product is dependant on the buyers mechanical ability. even despite your best efforts if you do not have an understanding of the basic theory you could end up with a pile of “Widgets”
Frank,
I am most angry that this illegal usuperer Obama has thugged his way into our White House and the Supreme Court and Congress has done nothing to remove him. He is a Communist, has overthrown our constitution and no one is loyal enough to arrest him and throw him into jail where he belongs. This infuriates me!
Mad that our jobs are going overseas!
I’m being laid off after I set up the foundation.

Hi Frank,
In my humble opinion our country is rapidly becoming a socialist, communist form of government. The people running the country have an agenda to destroy everything the original Founders established.
I am not certain this trend can be reversed since at least 50% of the citizens have become dependent on the government for freebies paid for be those who work and strive to achieve the American Dream.( The so-called wealthy!)
All your info is encouraging but in my case it may be too late to take advantage of your ideas.
Thanks, Ken
IF I CAN SEE THE DANGER OF SPENDING MORE MONEY THAN I TAKE IN…WHY THEN IS IT SO HARD FOR THE PRESIDENT TO GET THE MESSAGE, AS WELL AS CONGRESS?
THIS IS NOT THAT HARD TO SEE….AM I NOT SEEING WHAT THEY ARE SEEING OR WHAT..AFTER ALL IT IS THERE COUNTRY AS WELL AS MINE..AND IT IS THERE FAMILY AS WELL WHO ARE GOING TO SUFFER ..PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THEY SEE THAT I DON’T?

Have enjoyed the info you’ve sent out since i ordered the solar panel info. I’m retired and have been gathering info on several fronts and working to putting investments, protection, survival together , not only for me and my wife, but my 4 kids and their families.
There is a lot of fronts to be working on ( while still working part time, after retirement) so I’m not sure what to tell you that you haven’t already covered.
On the survival front, things like ‘ what do i do if I ( and each of my kids families) need to think about to be ‘READY’ if they need to ‘grab and go’. What do you need to have ( list) in your grab and go bag(s). How will you survive for “x” days? How will you protect your home (if you stay there)? You’ve covered the power, water, food, protection. I’m thinking about any attacts on the air we breathe, what if we get a solar flair or energy field boom that knocks out the use of our communications.
Also what if the US Dollar Bill, becomes worthless, how will we ‘barter’. How about fuel for our cars or motorcycles…..can we come up with a conversion to make them work?
What are you concerned about? obama and what he is doing to our country…
The one thing that concerns me most is, how do I protect myself and family from a solar EMP. Do I need to build some sort of special shelter or can it be survived if we stay in our own home. I have food supplies and the water issue sorted out, so I am basically prepared for afterwards, but not the event itself. Can you help with this please Frank. All your info so far has been of great help to me. Thanks
I would also be interested in learning how to build a root cellar. I think I sort of have one already as I have some space behind a wall of my basement. When I open this little hidden door in the wall it leads to cement steps that used to go outside, but many decades ago an addition was built on to the house, so now those steps just go to the floor of my bedroom, but according to my plumber there is quite a bit of walking around space back there. I’m thinking that space could be a great little root cellar to stash some extra preps, but I’m a bit concerned about mice. I would love it if any of your readers, or you, yourself Frank, could teach us about root cellars and food storage in them. Thanks!
frank ,realy enjoy and appreciate your blog and information,the only thing missing is the true information on the days after a big event,as i see it most of us fat spoiled americans couldnt go a day without indoor plumbing not to mention actually having to live without police and emergency services,there wont be the well prepared at the end there will be the unfortunate,even if you do survive the nuke waste and nuke facilities will fail and the rest will die shortly after,instead of being frietened we to move towards gaining control back of our goverment and move toward a peaceful leadership instead of spartans gone wild,our economy is based on war and incarceration instead of science and education,again i appreciate the knowledge i have gained from you,all due respect,charles sabotta, U.S.M.C.ooooraaa
Frank,
What has me hopping mad is to hear that Michelle Obama shows up at the Oscars (probably at a taxpayer cost for SS and Air Force 2 of over $1,000,000.00) to aid and abet the hypocrites in Hollywood in celebrating getting hostages out of the Embassy (her husband did a piss-poor job of that in Benghazi) with the aid of Canadian filmmakers.
Th real heroes back then were those who had to fly ravaged military equipment (Carter gutted our Military) in attempting to free them 30 years later we allow one of the kidnappers to become Preident of Iran (Achmedinijad). Carter and the Libs were abject failures. It’s like to the Protesters of the Vietnam war thinking they were the brave soldiers and heroes.
Ronald Wilson Reagan got elected and the Iranian pansies immediately surrendered. Remember history? Too bad they don’t teach it in schools anymore.

Hello Frank! While I’m not quite finished ‘digesting’ the info You’ve provided me with, I HAVE decided how to begin my switch to free power. I mean, face it, You are a serious wealth of knowledge regarding self-reliance and preparedness and I appreciate that and value it to the highest degree. My wife thinks I’m crazy but when the time comes (and it will) she’ll be glad her husband is nuts!. Currently I have asked the state of Ohio what I need to do in order to begin the implimentation of wind turbines and attachment to my panel. Permits, zoning etc.I live in an older neighborhood but it is still pretty nice. Not too much vandalism or theft. I do have a privacy fence topped with Nixalite, a bird deterrent. For those that don’t know what it is, it’s stainless steel needles ranging in length from 2″ to 4″ and VERY close together. Often it can be seen on the tops of signs where pigeons like to roost. It’s not the easiest to work with but the city frowned on barb wire and electric fencing. I asked. I mounted it on the inside of my fence with #8×1 1/2″ galvanized screws at the top rail. It can’t be seen from the outside but the warning signs can. While I wait to hear back from the state and city I have begun planning for my aqua garden and am planning on getting a few chickens. I am rebuilding my shop to help accommodate my endeavors including a 2nd floor and wood stove (which is what I have been using in my home home for several years) Guess who is everybody’s buddy when the power goes out? I have saved every scrap of e-mail to a file on my laptop as well as a portable hard drive. I think I’m gonna build me a Faraday cage this week using a steel trash can and some of that rubber stuff you dip your tool handles in to insulate the inside. I have also been buying scrap silver for quite a while and will continue to do so. Always picking up ammo here and there while/when I can and have begun my own AR build. This is the first time I have visited your blog page (btw what does ‘blog’ mean?) but will stop in with tips and updates as they happen. If any visitors have any questions regarding what I have published here today, by all means feel free to contact me. I’m more than happy to help anyone any way I can. To Our Freedom, Keith
Hi Frank
I’m enjoying the informative selections you have been sending out. I’m mostly interested in “off grid” sustainable lifestyle. I’m concerned about economic crisis and food storage. Thanks for watching out for those of us who are trying to be part of the solution. Melissa
Frank
I would like to hear more ideas on alternative shelters and hidden root cellars. Thoughts on how to prepare subversively. Why would I want the neighbors to know I had more food & water than IGA?
Got to buy with cash guys, or someone knows what you got.
Maybe, some thoughts on creating a local trusted group, with out publishing that we exist. Like a coop, you earn your share or place in the group.
Tawny
hello frank i live in mexico and i need to find out more , like where do i get the videos . when i was listening to your videos the power went out , and if you think the electric bill is high in the states you need to see the ones down here in mexico . thanks
Anything about/on Aquaponics.
Frank,
I appreciate the question of what makes me fighting mad, but I am no into being fighting mad. I am concerned about gun control, empty ammo shelves, iinvasion of rights, background checks and all the issues involved in protecting our children and schools. Problem is, I do’t think that the solution is iin gun control.
I am concerned about all the regulations we are facing in education that backs lower paying teachers, rediculous testing and mandates to raise the level of intelligence of our students, a third year of math requirement required in schools when they haven’t learned the first two years yet. Like unto the space race,which involved billions of dollars for the few, we are enacting an intelligence race with irrelevant opponents.
I am concerrned about the cost of fine arts and music teaching jobs and the intelligence these cause to the students who are priveledged to attend fine arts and music classes and training. If our country dismisses the arts from our curriculum there will result in lower intelligence and more football teams, that literally help no one but the ones on the money end.
Like yourself, I am committed to lower fossil fuel use and more solar-wind power, however I think a world full of windmills is unfortunate.
I am concerned abouut inaccurate information from the white house concerning half of the national debt being paid off. I am concerned about China holding us hostage and owning our debt. I am concerned about jobs going overseas and the president expecting us to start new businesses, as if everyone could, or wanted to.
Honestly, I am liking what he is saying in general, but aware that he “speaks with forked tongue”. Iam also concerned with the overuse of minorities and imports to get votes. I am concerned that the minority is actually the majority and the whites are supporting all the other races that have hands out, yet when whites are in equial need, they are too white to get representation or help. We have an unbalanced society. All the rhetoric about avoiding racism, yet every job application asks about your race, age, income level and much more self identifying, segregating information to cause someone else to get the job you are applying for. I am concerned about the tax breaks given to business for hiring pseudo minorities that are no more entitled to the job handout than I am.
I am concerned about the credit bureaus and how they betray our civil rights and keep us in bondage for our entire lives. I am concerned that there is no regulation of credit bureaus and they can report whatever they like and be responsible for nothing that comes from destroying our names and defaming our charactor. I am concerned about the power these credit bureaus have to put us into the mode of paying higher rates for insurance and credit for no geood reason. I am concerned tha no one knows how they determine credit scores, and we are not allowed accurate information as to how to overcome credit reporting woes. I am concerned about the slavery that they cause by discrediting us for our entire lives, and the lies and perceptions given to us that bad credit only lasts for 7 years, as if that were a shor time, yet bad credit scores have a way of self-renewing.
I am concerned about how the US democracy is a ponzi scheme when it comes to electing executive office candidates. How we never have a choice at voting for a real leader who is out for the people, not for his party or himself. I am concerned that the current president is trying to have a third term. I am concerned at the breeding he will do at putting our next president into office.
I am concerned about the political agenda of the “first lady” and the “second lady” of the whitehouse. Where do they get off making policy. The “first lady” is making policy for our school administrators to have to submit to. NO! NOT NOW. NOT EVER!! Now I am getting angry. Sorry.
Dan Stiverson
If you want to know what I think is one of the most destructive things happening it’s Fracking. It’s already damaged the US and is happening over here in Australia. Water and mainly underground water is our most precious resource and it’s destroying it.
A nice way for a foreign power to destroy your food source, ie China to offer billions for the gas for power that can be self generated.
I would like to know if it is possible to build a solar electric system that is protected from EMP from a nuclear explosion in the atmosphere.
well the thing that wories me most is the Electric Co. and the rising cost of food in the stores. I know that they have to make money. but the cost has risen drastically and our measley pay checks are getting smaller, not really smaller just cost more to buy even at the dollar store. Where at one time it was cheaper to buy things there. The best place so far is the Dollar Tree Everything is a dollar.. I live within 8 miles of Peachbottom Atomic plant and pay the most in electric. I found out on our line that goes to Philidelphia then back to us. people pay way less for elect. than I do which sucks.
I’ve got a small book for you to read!~~Heaven is for real ~~by Todd Burpo it’s worth your time.
best regards Ed
Tuesday 2-19-13,just at sunrise, 2bolts of light entered through my window.The first 1 barley made it to the window but seconds later the 2nd one was so bright it blocked out 1/4 of the room,couldnt see anything else. How do you find out if this a hoax and if not a hoax who do report it to. Satillits shurly piked up on it and the direction. I have to say I live in a city of itiots to put it mildly ,so I take it very serious.maybe you can help?
I currently use a outdoor wood stove to heat my house and was looking to see if the solar panels would be sufficient to power the pumps and fans. also a possible solar panel to heat water that I could interact with the wood stove for heat source as well Do you have any knowledge related to these topics
Hey Frank, I will try to keep it short. I want to build my own solar panels, so I thought the book and videos are a good idea. As far as the dooms day prepping, I feel that’s for people that don’t know God or don’t care to know him. God’s has a plan to get his church out of here before all the crap starts. It’s a real deal happening that’s been going on since Christ, it’s the Holy Ghost rebirth experience. Just like the stories you here of people dying and having out of body experiences, you tell them about it, but you can’t make people understand what it’s like. God’s real my friend. I feel bad for the people that are going to go through the tribulation. It’s going to be bad. My suggustion to anyone that’s still around during the tribulation is don’t take the mark, chip or what ever the goverment is going to place on your right hand and forehead. The goverment will hunt people down as religious fanatical terrorist and put them to death. The worst part is that a 1/3 of the world is predicted to be destroid. The way I see it, it’s 50 50. You either in or out. You can put your faith in preperations to live through it or you can put your faith in getting out of here in the rapture.
Sincerely, a true born again, Holy Ghost Filled Believer
enjoy knowing what you know.keep it coming please.am puschasing first house in the city on a main street and am gonna be a meek neighbor who has a 16 month old son whom i will build an enviornment for that will allow him to gain virtues while still being protected.
I enjoy your post and read and save each one I am very interested in solar power I have your material on Guide to Energy Independence. But haven’t had time to get going on it yet, thank you for your encouragement with your emails continue. Thank You Richard Milligan
I need to build a tornado shelter, but if I’m going to go to the trouble I want to go ahead and build a bomb shelter. The info I have seen on the Internet mostly seems ancient (1950s), or advertisements for extremely expensive turn-key setups. If you have any information on how to build an economical shelter 3 to 4 feet underground it would be helpful. I think you have already covered some of the water, food, power needs for an extended stay.
I get really angry when many of us that are older Americans that are close to retirement age but the Governeo0r here inMaine is happy to brag that we are a Tourist State living on POOR MINIMUM WAGE JOBS. mORE JOBS ARE BEING SJIPPED OVER sEAS WEVERY DAY AND wHOOPIE THOSE OF US THAT CAN’T GET ENOUGH MONEY FOY BASIC THINGS IN LIFE NOW GET A ENOUGH MONEY ON HEAP FOR ABOUT 100 GALLONS OF OIL FOR A WINTER, bUT WITHOUT HEAT MAny elderly will die of hyperthermia during the other 6 or 7 months we are averaging 55F degrees or lower, But our jobs go to the Somalians or other Musliums who are given more jobs and things to live with than our Elders earned in a live time along with our Soocial Security plus twice the oil along with the jobs because the are a minority. My granf=dfrather Came to America with a suit case and a green card to try out a job and in 6 months if he learned to Speak English and learned the constisution he could work hard to buy the basics while raising a family. It makes me sick to know more than half my SSD goes to a Samalion who never had it taken out of their paycheck yet we will freeze and fight to survive. What iso very good about being born in American? the right to havve no helpfrom our goverment unless it’sto keep up barely alive
Will a sea/ land shiping container work as a Farady cage!
I have about ten acres of land. A stream bisects my property. I’m interested in the idea of using the flow of the stream to generate power for my property using water turbines, but am concerned with costs and getting the project approved by both local zoning and state (NY) and federal environmental regulators. Is this something you know anything about?
I would like to see some home heating projects that work hand in hand with solar and wind power. To survive the coming economy and poor goverment we have we will need to save in every aspect of life . We as voters in the next election need to stand up and vote out those who do not stand for are freedom .
First and foremost; the mortal fear is the separation among the American people, this left / right rhetoric. Somewhere we will need to find a happy middle and live with it. Keep in mind the age old rule of battle is to ” divide and conquer”.
Second, America is controled by Corporations; Corporate policy controls everything we hear, purchase, see and what we are and are not allowed to do; this includes survival materials. “They” decide what the shelf life of everything will be. Weapons are useless without ammo, cleaning materials and replacement parts. The list is much too long for an email.
The political environment is controled from the corporate board room and it is a fact that the majority of those board rooms do not have the best interest of America or the American people in mind. Capitalism is just another of the evil (ism’s) we have heard most of out lives. We are slaves to Corporate Communisn. The rhetoric of conservatives and liberals is a Mao / Linnen / Stalin / Hitler tactic aimed at the old devide and conquor ideal.
None so far. We’ll see later.
Many thanks and best regards
Dear Frank,
I am a retired state worker, and finding that I am falling short in my monthly budget. I have found your material very good, and fills a need for situations that might occur rather quickly. Unfortunately with my financial status, I find that I cannot begin to compile the neccessary equipment for the projects. I have thought previously about getting a natural gas generator and hooking it up to the city gas line, that would provide electricity for my home in the event of an electrical outage. But in pricing them at Lowes, I found them to cost around $3,000, which was prohibitive for me too.
Thanks very much for your step by step instructions. I think I could follow them, had I the funds to invest in the projects.
Thanks, Dennis Chambers
Will Congress ever get the two parties together to solve the 16 trillion debt crises before the country is so bankrupt that major inflation causes grisly infighting.
right now becoming debt free and retirement planning are my biggest concerns! thats why solar and wind energy with no or little electric bills will make my retirement years easier. beyond these gun control is the most important because if we had gun control 200 years ago we wouldnt be the great united states that we are!!!!!! i personaly might become one of the ones they (government) are worried about, my right to bear arms (any gun i chose) means i can defend myself, my family, my friends, and gather food as required in a catastrophy!!! take my guns and i WILL rebel. I live on 2.5 acres a quarter of a mile down a private dirt road off of a county dirt road 3 miles off of pavement i can see them coming before they see my house. with power i have water and there is antelope and rabbit pretty abundent we grow and store our own garden allready!! country livin is great!!! great web site and thanks i’ll be in touch greg
The US constitution is a guideline to the best governmental system yet devised by man. It depends on honorable people who believe In the document and act accordingly in following the directions given. Today, only a handful of elected In DC meet that criteria. Those In leadership positions, regardless of which major party, have fallen to the temptation of greed and power, They are subservient to a cartel pulling the strings behind the scene who want a new “single word order” system with the cartel at the top, of course. In their way is the US constitution, personal responsibility, individual thinking, cultural values, the Christian religion, free enterprise, entrepreneurs, etc. The cartel, last several decades, has successfully attacked all of the above attributes of a successful, growing culture. Weakening of America and our liberty will continue until the people replace DC leaders with people who believe in freedom and the US constitution.
I am age 90 going on 120. I am concerned about people who think that they have been born again by just saying “I believe.” They are being mislead by Pastors in congregations of the ONE church that Jesus the Messiah built. The scribes made errors in handwriting copies of the original Scripyures as well as the translators that have made copies in other languages.
Also, I purchased the info to make the solar panels and wind generators, but I cannot find anyone here to make them for me.
True I agree we all need to prepair to protect our family and homes and
I also know that there will be a day we will see economic collapse in our country,
So yes I also prepair for economic collapse in our country and other countrys
but at the end we all will die and I hope that the gift of salvation is in your lives
so for me the most important tool in my survival kit is the Bible the Gosspil of
Jesus Christ and thru true faith and his love we all can live forever.
Also would like to see you talk about diffrent sources of heat? maybe a plan for a outdoor
wood heater? I know you are in a warmer place some of us still deal with the cold weather
thank you in advance for any insight
The public should know how to protect themselves from our food industry. The F.D.A. doesn’t have our best interests at heart and our Government stands by making money from it. Cancer is caused from our food and environment. We need to protect ourselves through knowledge.
I am troubled that for so long our countrymen have been asleep and many still think that the so called “progressives” have “good intentions” and that the negative effects of their socialist policies such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, and now Obama ‘s “Affordable Care Act” are “unintended consequences” and that they care about “the poor” and now “the middle class” and “job creation” yet all the while since assassination of JFK, doing all they can to bring down our free market economy in order to replace it with Marxist’s socialist economy is beyond inexplicable to me. It is the stuff that would make a great episode of “The Twilight Zone”. Also the training of FEMA, TSA, FBI, BATF, etc. in use of UAVs (and stockpiling of hundreds of millions of small arms ammo as well) to combat “domestic terrorists” and for other law enforcement purposes is extremely worrisome. This would be very dangerous for anyone not willing to be subjugated to our new ruler’s “Executive Orders”.
My worry has to do with total economic collapse in our country, and that such a collapse will trigger social chaos, lawlessness, gangs roaming neighborhoods and the countryside, looking to take by force from those too weak and unprepared to defend themselves. We’ve seen news footage of such chaos in other countries and I believe it is the foolish American who thinks such lawlessness can’t happen here. I fear that with economic collapse, gas would skyrocket without warning, and food would disappear from shelves overnight. I worry that it will happen so rapidly that I would be extremely fortunate to be able to single-handedly fight my way back to my adult children and grandchildren 300 miles away. I have such fear of this scenario that for the past five years I’ve maintained a 55 gallon drum of fresh gasoline..to give my wayward ass a fighting chance of getting back to my children’s compound.
It seems like you’re afraid of just about everything and trying to prepare for every possible disaster. But in spite of all your preparation, you’re going to die someday, whether sooner or later, that’s unavoidable. So you’re trying to prepare to survive, but are you prepared to die? You need to be prepared for the inevitable. Personally, I’m ready to die because I know what the future holds for me.
thanks for your great website and products. i would like to add something to the discussion but the other contributors are doing a great job. i guess the only topic i would add is healthcare as i am concerned about the plight of america and the coming onslaught of OBUMMERCARE. if it is anything like our NHS i suggest treating yourselves as best you can and prevention is better than treating symptoms with big pharma poison any day of the week. natural supplements are also fantastic as mike rivero so eloquently puts it. thanks again and keep up the good fight! god bless america!

Phone apps for plants to eat, herbal medicine, stick for computer with survival
info on it for later. Solar set up to keep in anti-emp trash can setup so can
use phone memory as reference library after SHTF and can recharge ipod or
phone for help?
Lost electric for 3 days so lost heat, water pressure, sewer (cause live in
country on septic) and electric lights. The main problem was water.
I did not realize how hard it is to get water!!!!! No way can you store
enough for toilet. I am only one person and could not do it for only
3 days. I will put in outhouse and have lime. (Disguise as garden ‘
shed). Please stress to everyone that a dry run should be done.
Only then can a person see the weak points. Also, can perceive
cleanliness will be a problem–dysentary etc. Need natural cleaners—
vinegar, essential oils etc that are easy to store.
Thanks for listening.
I am very concerned about lossing our second amendment rights. If we lose our right to keep and bare arms what other right will be taken away. If these people in Washington we elected to protect our rights through the constitution start rewriting the costitution, there is no stopping them. They will have all of us under there thumb, and do anything. We would no longer be a free country.
hi, not sure what to think , seem’s like a lot of information that is not needed , making it out like alot of work where it a lot of mumble jumble, there is no contacts on getting solar panals, like contacts , yeah , contact ‘s and what kind of panel’s are best to purchase, boring interview’s , not enough of actual hands on,
Survival is the topic I like most.
So far this all fits in with my domestic preparations. However, I live in the center of LA and the chances of my getting out in a sudden crisis are almost nil. I have survived the earthquakes and riots in fine shape, but in case of massive civil unrest, i will have to survive in place.
I have prepared massive retaliation devices for mobs, but only enough for a couple of waves.
Mostly pepper gas and high pressure water hoses. Mostly.
Beyond that, all I provide is secure cover and firepower.
I don’t wish to be afoot in a mob, miles and miles from any way out of the city.
That’s suicide for sure.
I won’t make it easy for them, and i have a few like minded neighbors to help at the
barricades.
I sponsor my friends and neighbors to the Appleseed Events, and have supplied everything
they need to go, and have gotten their kids involved, too.
Makes my neighbors less gun phobic, and makes me the nice granpa’ guy,
who takes them shooting and talks about American history.
Survival in place. Sad but true. I’m too old to fight my way out of the city, and too old to hike.
Not worried about nuclear war (so long, LA) or plague (I’m old), or zombies (don’t exist),
just other crazed Angelenos.
Regards,
Phil
I am interested in all you topics and would really like to know more about solar home heating and cooling, and solar hot water systems. Home defense, spying and nuclear sounds very interesting also.
GMO ‘s the#1. The electoral college#2 food additives& chlorinating the H2O. All things that fire me up.
Iran and Israiel . Irans nuclear denial.. The second amendment. Tyranny in the government. Their salaries and benefits… Rise in taxes. fed and state.
More info on what can and might be done in an urban area, Suburbs. Maybe how to talk with neighbors so they don’t think I’m a nut job….
How to source and treat water for potability. If the feces hits the fan this will be the number one issue in a lot of communities. I have seen all of the water born illnesses that I ever want to see….they are ugly and sometimes deadly. I have my own knowledge and plan, but I am afraid that the average American doesn’t have a clue. If they think that they will just diddy bop down to Kroger and load up on water they have obviously never been some of the places that I have been.
I would love to connect with other people in my area that believe in getting off the grid and producing their own energy. Is there a way to find them? I purchased your kit for my son for Christmas as he is very interested in energy; he even has is own Leaf car. He is in college in engineering. Would you have some suggestions. I would work on someone’s project just to learn to do mine. I have a hous that needs energy workup, etc. I love the idea of being off the grid and maybe in the plus.
Hi Frank,
With all the ado about gun control and how the majority of the public and government is reacting to the cosmetics of the “assault weapon” rather than the real issue of the person behind the weapon, I would like to know if there’s any particular firearms you would recommend purchasing prior to any new legislation that may outlaw such purchases.
Love all the info you provide! Thank you!!
Hey Frank, and the rest of the world! RE: Snooping , and those type issues, and thoughts.
Some time ago I got wind of a super secret listening FARM ?, which has been built in the DEEPEST HEART of ARKANSAS. Odd HUH? a one way in one way out type place which has been under construction for at least 8 years now. And is supposedly fully functional.( IT ) is a 2 fold program to SNOOP on all external sensitive radio telecom and TV, and Band radio waves as well as ALL levels of encrypted transmissions. They are seeing this as we speak, probably letter by letter. The strange part is not that we, America has this type of facility but the fact that it is where it is, and how seriously it is protected and hidden. I have been told you don’t want to find it accidentally on a mid- summer COON HUNT!!! 1000 acres + or – and 4-5 levels of electronics and fence like have never been built before. NO ONE FROM THE LOCAL AREA’s were used in the construction of it. Most came from special OP military and FEMA, and Homeland sources.This facility is mostly underground for good reason. It has been said it follows the same security as FORT KNOX, and AREA 51.Which is understandable. MY ONLY QUESTION IS WHY? I suppose there are a thousand reasons. It was not until after 9/11 that it was approved and funded. So I can see a connection their as well, TO KNOW WAY AHEAD WHAT IS COMING RIGHT? I am not fully knowledgeable of the exact local, I was told upper mid central, Like the Quachita Nat’l Forrest. I would hate to be lost in that area. Anyway I was just putting this out to see if there was any more info on the concept, and to try and validate my story. If I am still here next week I will check to see if there are any responses HA!. P.S. I did see a FULLY blacked out late model work truck parked off in the woods near my house not too long ago. That was really odd, so odd that I went out and drove around it, no way could I see inside that thing, so odd that I called the sheriff but they left before the law showed up. IT was listening. Ya’ll be safe now.
Hey Frank,
If you want to get into some really crazy stuff, you need to research the FEMA camps that have been set up by the Goverment. I got a contact that drives a FEMA semi who told me that they have delivered over 3 million plastic coffins to those camps in Colorado and Texas. He doesnt know how many more have been delivered to other camps. He says that the camps look like modern day German prisoner of war camps with the double layer fences that have the concertina wire facing in and not out.
What do you think that is really all about?
i drive a truck. to help the food budget a TE cooler is all thats neeed.
this could be the next big thing although i realize it has its limitations.
i’m talking about a thermo electric cooler, they work with ac or dc volts. thks.
Live off grid as much as posible as it may be a requirement later I am buying like crazy as the money could be worthless by supprise any time. I have 14 interstate 6 volt 420 AH deep cycle batteries in series parallel for 12 volt system for my solar system and 64 amps from my panels to charge. Going for 10 more bateries and another set of USA made solar panels for storage in a faraday cage. 5460 AH should keep me in power with a good margin. Got 12 volt pump for my water well and a lot of LED lights. Have a 3 cu ft fridg for minimum cold storage. Getting into hydrophonics & aquaphonics plus my conventional garden fenced uo to 8 feet high & locked. A loud mouth doxadore doggie near the garden. Portable water purification as well as permanent purification.
Spend your money now or loose it to rapid inflation or just all out theft by the bad boys. Glad to read all these postings, love it.
While I think that many of your topics have merit, I would prefer to hear a bit less about survivalist trends and skills and more about how to conform a modern lifestyle to free energy and living. I do enjoy knowing how to live in emergency situations (stranded in wilderness, etc). But my primary interest is in how to do more with what I have and live free, off the grid, grow food more naturally. Helpful skills and hints to gain back what has been lost about living over the past couple of generations. Thank you again for all of your hard work and information, you are providing a great service.

I am a high rise engineer in Dallas, Texas and for a lot of years I have considered energy savings as a top priority. The down side is the initial investment required to achieve these savings has been the main problem for my managers and owners. I wish I had the time and capitol to have the time to proceed with some of my ideas I have formulated thru the years. Maybe one day we can talk?
There has been a lot of great info. Just keep me informed. I need to know stuff and can us it later.
Right now I have to have work done to house. Got a deal and my deal needs to be fixed.I do some of the work and I have someone to do other things.The weather has been bad and cold and I do not work well in the cold. More things I see my list keeps getting longer.I save all the e-mails so I can go back to them. I will need the information later. Thanks
OLD MICROWAVES THAT DONT WORK /KEEP WELDING RODS IN OR ANYTHING YOU DONT WANT MOISTURE TO GET. SAVE ALL YOUR SEEDS.YOUR LETTUCE WILL GO TO SEED DRY AND REPLANT OR LET IT COME UP YAER AFTER YEAR.AMMO KEEP AT LEAST 200-500 ROUNDS PER SURVIVAL WEAPON./ FRESH WATER WITH SOLAR/MEET YOUR FAMILY AT DESIGNATED DAYS AND TIMES IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. WILL GET BACK WITH MORE THE MORE YOU SHOW THE MORE THEY KNOW BIG BROTHER ALWAYS WATCHING. MIKE
How well do the solar panels work under a bunch of trees. Is it necessary to cut a bunch of them down because I do have a lot of trees around my place.
I Am very interested in your interview with the top security guys.
I would like to know how to be under the radar.
Keep up the good work.
More on how to choose solar power and the size needed. How to keep a water pump going for a dairy farm. Can a freezer be kept going on a portable solar generator. Can power be stored for later. Is it best to buy much equipment now before an inflation or money is evaporated. What would be the best investments.
I am interested in the best and cheapest places to by Batteries and solar panels and wind generators, thanks James
Today’s government seems to be slowly choking our freedoms out of us ever so slightly these days. My case in point, HR 1505. The department of Homeland Security enacted Constitutional Free Zones around the borders of the United States. Any citizen, living within 100 miles of the US border, may as well give up his or her 4th amendment rights. DHS can search, seize, and summarily detain anyone within these regions without due process. How could this happen? Surprisingly, the bill was passed by Congress and the president and was never challenged directly by the Supreme Court. Our politicians, our representatives, decided that the Bill of Rights applies, but only when they want it to. With this fundamental right given away so easily, it scares to me think what else will be torn from our near-empty hands. I live in New York and within this 100 mile wide “Constituional Free Zone.” I should be careful what I say I guess, I am only protected by the First Amendment.
What really bothers me is that hard working people of all races and natonalitys are being pentilized for living the american dream and trying to make something of themselves.
If you dont work for it you cant have mine!
If you are going to raise my taxes, what am I going to get from it???? I dont mind paying my fair share.
What about all of the people that break the law (illegals for any country) and then get pardoned thru the imagration reforn bill. Can I go out and break the law of my choosing and get away with it?
I am prepping for what ever comes, (hopefully never) I will take care of my own and other like minded persons that are working together but all of the medicar and welfare folks are on there own.
Maybe that is the way to break the handout cycle. Let them starve.
The US Green Back money wont be worth the paper its printed on. Traditionally bartering was the way people got what they needed. Gold, silver, salt, chickens, whiskey was used. In your opinion what do you think would be the best thing to put aside to use.
Thanks for all your doing. Burtis Bills
one thing we need to mention is to have basic fishing equipment ; lines, hooks, jigs, etc. if the pilgrims would have known how to fish they would have been alot better off.
A lot of the stuff that you sell can be found on the internet for free. Just go to any LDS website and they have a wealth of information on preparing and storing foods. Much more helpful than the items 10 items that you recommend we store up. LDS website has hundreds. You can also get info on solar ovens, rocket stoves, gardening, canning and much much more.
All of the subjects covered by your blog are well and good. You have asked me to write regarding my fears and concerns. All your survival tips are for the here and now. Some things are beyond our control no mater how we prepare. “In the end times, the enemy will be the deciever withch returns before Christ.” My fear is for those who don’t know that. He will be very conviencing. Please! as a survival tool recommend that everyone read Revelations after asking for a word of wisdom from our Heavenly Father. With eyes and ears opend through the power of the Holy Spirit revelations will give us the true tools we need to have eternal life even after this small test peroiod we are here on earth, before the Lord our God returns. God bless all them who prepare for the six trump so they may be ready at the seventh.
What concern me are the current government and the agenda that it is pursuing. Everything that I spent 26 years serving in the U.S. Navy giving other countries the chance to have (Freedom of Speech, Religion, Voting, the right to bare arms, etc…) is being slowly taken away. And the people of the once great country want it that way. I do not care so much for myself. It is the fact that this current government and its decisions are seriously going to affect my children’s future. That really chaps my behind. This country is being systematically divided and conquered and the general public is cheering it on. I could continue but I have said enough. Thank you.
I see geo-engineering/chemtrail operations goining on weekly for several day, especially before a precipitation event. I have heard that the Aluminum is poisoning the soil and I am wondering if there are any soil ammendments that will counter the damage so that crops and gardens and fruit trees can still produce. Also I have heard of Chembusters but I am not sure if they really do work or not. I would like to believe in them and use one if I knew it was a valid option. I am putting a link on here that does a good job explaining the issue and problems.

This is one of the big concerns I have. I think it is what has caused the drought that we are enduring and I don’t think it will end until they get control of all wells and water useage so that they can totally control food production and land use.
1)I rent we have recieved your on solar power plans and check out the cost and want to set up something to lower our electric bills at our rented house.
2) the gun control issue. the media is going crazy over it, but that what sells, the media tells half of the truth and leaves out parts to miss guide the story, because thats what people are not really hearing all the facts to form a opinion. we have the right to bear arms
The government scares the fuck out of me. Obama is the final of a long line of leaders selling this country out for personal benefit.
I want to know how we are going to unite a divided country against the very government that divided it?
How do we turn a nation back toward it’s God ina a time of foretold apostasy?
The San Andreas Fault will have another earthquake of 6+ in the next decade. The grid will go down and people who are unprepared will suffer. With the offgrid solar system that Power 4 Patriots has helped me design my family and I will continue to enjoy life as we currently know it.
Thanks,

I feel that we are going to have a blackout for 2-3 years due to a massive volcanic eruption in the Indonesia area. My husband is concerned about the polar flip. Both of these will leave everyone without use of their electrical devices. How many people know how to live the way the settlers did. There is more skills needed than just stock piling. How do you make soap, what plants must you grow and how do you use them? Nutritionaly when you don’t have all your packaged can goods what do you need to survive. What are the basics to live that will grow almost everywhere. Living on beans, corn and occational proteins. You are covering bugging out but missing long term skills. If there is a blackout, solar won’t work. Don’t know what the wind condition would be. Where would you get electricity. Growing hydroponically, how would you do it? Where are your Rabbits and Chickens? Eat little but give you alot of protein. It would be nice to think like you were the only family left and must survive for repopulation. Is my family ready, not at all. My children don’t have a clue, I have collected literature and recipes and we are beginning to learn cultivation, but if it comes sooner than later they can read and follow instructions, but basically are lacking the appropriate skills to move forward. What are your thoughts?
I am concerned about how this Government has been stripping the people of their rights, devaluating our currency and giving us huge inflation by printing money around the clock.
The same as stealing money out of our pockets.
THe Government rying to take our guns away and leaving us defenseless against crime and more.
I’m concerned about outsourcing and so many good jobs leaving America.
I’m concerned about this so called “New World Order” that only the Rich and Elite want in order to make more profits for themselves and gain more power over the people.
I’m concerned about the corrupt rich pigs and politicians of this nation who are selling us out to China due to their own greed and a way to even more riches.
Greed, Lies, Apathy and Stupidity are the real problems with this country and we should all know it is very difficult to fix Stupid, which is what allows the first three to exist.
Solar and wind are my 2 key interests.
As a Soldier, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. What has me angry is what are the senior leaders in the Pentagon thinking and when are they going to arrest this POS for his attack on the Constitution? Obama,Holder Clinton, Emmanuel, they all need to be locked up! What agencies does obummer plan to use to take away our guns? I will not freely surrender my weapons! What do we do when they come knocking on our doors??
Deriously , I’ve been watching videos on you tube
“Obama’s Deception”, videos taken of trucks on Us highways carrying coffins, the concentration camps are in place worldwide they have guiotines ready, hour byhour and minute by miute corrution of these free masons, illuminati, satanist are pushing to take all guns, (ALL GUNS), tomake us powerles/ defenseless to form their New World Order.
So I Would To Know If Americans are going to sit back and Let This Happen ?What is the PLAN of ACTION And WHEN and WHERE ? We are inthe LASTDAYS BIBLICIALLY . Yes, we do not know the hour or day but Our Lord is Coming.
We must stand beside Israel as well.
These elected politicians are set on destroying half the population so they can Control Them.
That is what I think.
The thing that I am most concerned about is the erosion of our right to bear arms, which also infers the right to have access to ammo. the current Adminisration is on a warpath to restrict this right, they do not have the right to do this! We need a well armed population to ensure our Country is safe and sound from internal as well as external forces.
I recently posted a comment about not receiving my dvd information. I did receive it . It was under some things and I just did not see it. I am sorry for any wrongful thing that was posted. The patirot company did respnd promplty to my e-mails, and acted swiftly to accomindate me. Robin
I think the information on video number 6 is vague.
My concern is that the information about how to do this solar technology is just a bunch of hype and will add more yearly expenses in the form of battery maintinance and maintaining the efficiency of the solar panals.
I would like more info on hydroponics/auqaponics and tomatoes grown in a wind tunnel
Samuel Hall, I am with you 100% my friend and actually more of us than it appears. Thanks for your stand.
Well I To Fell Like The Goverment Is Doing Just Like Hitler Did In Germany & Stalin Said Would Happen to America & I Might Add Rome From Within Will Great Nations Fall & Have Fallen Unless We Americans Stand Up & Fight For Are Right & Constitutin As Are Forfather Did So Many Years Ago We Must Stand Togather & Stop These Senetors & Congres Men & Women From Taking Are Rights Away. This Is No Easy Task Becauce They Have Made It So That We Must Work All The Time To Pay Bills & Eat That We Can Not Find The Time To March On Washington To Protest There Take Over So Im Sorry To Say The Day Will Come When It Wont Matter & We Will Have To Have A Civel War . & May God Help Us. Sorry About The Spelling Im A Old Man Not So Good On Keyboard.
My main concern is to know and understand the indicators for the coming crash. I am watching the dollar because I know that when it sinks infation will increase rapidly and interest rates will rise. What are some others worth watching?
my greatest concern is the hostle take over of our country by the obama administration. now I see that he has ABC news network banning all American flag pins, did you get to view any of obama lame 2nd enaugeration? how about the word God removed from the pledge? how about those ugly golden yellow drapes behind him on the presidents podium, which are muslim along with its symbols and the lack of the American flag,that all the presidents before him had? how about the creation of the new biden gun control task force,created to disarm American citizens,not the thugs and to ablolish the second amendment. how about the President passing a law for himself to invoke martial law without the approval of congress when ever he feels ready?
I think the conceal carry license or permit is of course to make money but also to find who has guns to take from them when the gov. choose to. no permits for me I will take my chances good luck to all that have conceal carry permit.
I would like to know how to read the numbers at the bottom of a barcode. I have been told the first three numbers are the country of origin. Is this true ?
Just want to thank Frank and the team members for caring about the real issuses in America.
The questionaires are great and a nice way to vent to the only real people that are caring and thinking forward to the future.
RALLY ON PATRIOTS!!
Charles this is AMERICA! Why should you even have to think about using your field abilities?
We all should be able to live free and prosperously. We have the resourses, the intelligence,
and the back bone to stand up and get back to the future! Why do we as a people only rally when
backed into a corner? We need to start taking control now and making our country the way our fore fathers did. Waiting for the enemy to come aint my cup of tea! We need stronger penalties for crimes committed. Today you can kill a man and be back on the streets in no time. An EYE FOR AN EYE justice works and so does a punishment equal to the crime! If they take away our guns and rights to defend we are toast!
Why can’t we just stop the Government! I don’t want my kids living under the Chinese rule! Why do we have to hoard food , arm ourselves, and have bobs? Stop the illegals and the system that pays them food stamps and benefits. Stop paying farmers not to grow. Start the factories running and producing
You are to fast to make an assumption. I haven’t told you about the fact that I am a Marine and I can take care of myself.My nature is to always be prepared for any possibility.I have had wilderness training and can live off the land and the surroundings
I am not afraid of anything or anyone.
Can to tell us where to purchase items that we can use to make solar panels as well as wind generators?
Frank
I am fortunate to live in alaska. I have a cabin built out in the remote part here. I am worried that obama and his croneys are attempting to disarm honest americans while all the crooks run wild with stolen guns and nothing happens to them. I guess the have nothing to lose. I am prepared to live at my cabin for at least two years with out coming to town for supplies. I have my main cabin (two story) and a guest house also two story. Iam adding another 20X20 two story unit next to my main cabin.Live on a drinkable water lake with moose and caribu around. If the government keeps up it dishonest crap, and they will,I’ll be moving out there. I wont’t give up my guns and freedom for the likes of congress. once they got a taste of limitless money and power they gave up on the honest tax payers.I’m prepared to defend this nation and the constatution like i did in 1962 when i joined the military.
Sincerely
Sam
Right now we are in the process of getting hunting licenses to increase our food supplies.
I would like to Know with all the imformations that they have showed. Imfo showing that Obama is not an american. They should impeach him asap
When the “Storm Troopers” in their armored Hummers, armed to the teeth with the very weapons they have come to confiscate, come to my home to confiscate my guns, what can I do?
Fight and die?
I am not wondering about anything anymore…. 50% of Americans choose their supreme commander… voting has consequences…. like physical laws…. who isn’t learning the easy way must suffer…. not me….
I needed your solar energy supply system in my protected small oasis where no idiots rule.
Friendly greetings, from
Andrew
I was wondering what the effects of EMP or solar flares on a solar system. I want to know if there is a catastrophic event that brings down the national power grid, would a solar power system not tied to the grid survive.
The second major concern that I see in the coming months is the very real possibility of hyper-inflation with the result of economic chaos. I keep seeing pictures of post-WW1 Germany where civilians carried wheelbarrows full of worthless paper currency in the hopes of buying a loaf of bread. The picture of an entitlement society demanded the government do something, and the government (on all levels) unable to function paints a dismal picture.
Thank you for all your information. It has helped focus some of my preparations.
Dale L
I LOVE ALL I HAVE GOT FROM YOU.THANK YOU! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.I NEED TO BE REFRESHED OFTEN.
You are doing a great job in putting all this information together. Have not been able to put much time on all the sujects up until now. THANX
Frank, I read your emails religiously and have saved them in my prepping folder when applicable. However, one of my biggest concerns is the possiblility of the NWO and the govmt instigated martial law because of say economic collapse, EMP, any other threats to our safety. I understand it is a subject no one really can feel free to talk about especially with the Utah electronic data storage. I am most concerned about timetable range as I have put plans into place but need time to carry out my total preps. I feel that things are accelerating at an alarming rate and forget the Lame Stream Media. They won’t even discuss anything especially Fox News Channel because of what happened to Glenn Beck’s program. Lest it happen to the rest of Fox NC lol. If you cannot discuss this, I will totally understand. I just wonder. Thank you and God bless you my fellow Patriot!!!! Shannon Baker
The survival information is very helpful.
MY BIGGEST FEAR…
Obama will run a third term. I’m told this is impossible, however
he could by proxy perhaps, or he might overide our Constitution. If so, our country WILL be a socialist nation, it will colapse and everything my great grandfather (Civil War) my dad (WWII) and son (he just returned from a tour in Afghanistan Army Infantry attched to Special Ops) fought for will be in vain. I pray for our country and want forgiveness for taking our great nation for granted for so many years.
I was born and brought up in Mass and neither my family nor myself have ever voted on the Democratic ticket, although now I give my eye teeth to have President Kennedy back in office. It has been Glenn Beck and your website that has woken us up. My husband and I attended Glenn’s meet in D.C.and from that point on we are aware.
Today my husband and I are gearing up to take care of our own. We own two homes and THIS SPRING WE WILL BUILD OUR FIRST SOLAR PANELS (your video). It gives me a source of peace because…
..MY SECOND BIGGEST FEAR
is the cost of home energy. My Dad was ahead of his time. He always said one day there would be a civil war and we would be energy deficient. I didn’t understand why he had me build my home with low ceilings, and invest in pellet stoves.
We also have a well, 300 ft deep so we’ll need the solar panels energy to keep in running.
We also need to figure a way to convert our pellet stove to either process wood chips or find a way to process the wood chips ourselves bc it’s only a matter of time when the cost will soon be unatainable.
…MY THIRD BIGGEST FEAR
food shortage. We are focasing on energy bc without energy I can’t house or freeze food, so right now…really I took a breather to write this…I am clearing out our basement that has become an unnecessary storage bin. I figure by spring we will have an excellent cold storage/root cellar and we’ll educate ourselves on food storage.
We are also going to get our gun license.
Thank you for listening, I could go on for days about fear. Something bad is about to happen, my husband thinks it will be DC. Something bad, this summber perhaps. God Bless America
Ruthie Weick
ps please pardon any spelling errors, I’m going back to the cellar, far more important than worrying about my spelling.
Water storage. I want to know about long term water storage.
I will by the end of summer probably have made a passive solar water heater and attached a solar water to air heat exchanger to may air conditioning air handler. My next plan is to build a passive in floor heat in a cabin in the Garrison , ND area. I will also be starting up an organic farm in northeastern MT. I don’t know if I will be able to get everything done. Backup Plan is to start some wind energy projects around both of the above mentioned locations. My biggest concern is if the government starts there internment camps which I believe will lead to domestic unrest then hang on to your hat everything goes. I believe there will be law and order in most of the states that did not vote for the current president though I can’t say a lot for either of the Bush’s both parties are idiots. Some politicians may be seeing the light I see that our newly elected Democrat from North Dakota told Obama she will not support any new gun legislation I guess we’ll see when the rubber meets the road.
i am most concerned about potential EMP (man-made or solar). I have ordered, received and partially completed reading your manual on solar energy independence. Great so far! But, (and maybe this is addressed in the part of the manual I have not read yet), would I be correct to say that an EMP would wreck a solar panel array and any attached devices (charge controller, batteries, etc.)? Then what? Would an EMP render batteries useless (even if not connected to anything)? Would it make sense to store a small solar panel system in a Faraday Box, to be deployed after an EMP? I assume the electronic components of a wind power system would be likewise rendered useless byan EMP? What (if anything) can be done to protect the investment made in solar energy in the event of IMP?
Great job Frank . But I’d like to see more no bug out bags and survival shielters and a good list of books to read. I bought farm 2 years ago just off I-40 . So I’m thinking of a secure shielter in my field.One that will last for years.
One of my biggest fear is the FEMA prison camps,they are like the concentration camps, and them taking our guns away.
Because of my age, disability, and very low income I have no way of much preparation. Do you have any ideas I’m open to anything, thank you
I forgot the biggest fraud of all-OBAMA CARE. If this is so great for the citizens of this country why have insurance premiums tripled and/or benefits decreased and Congress, The Senate, and the President exempt from OBAMA-Care. Why do a vast majority of American’s think that OBAMA-CARE is “Free” Health Insurance.
I can tell you…Mr. Obama is a liar and a fraud.
What alarms me is that we are following the path of Hitler and men of his kind. Hitler was an eloquent speaker and convinced German’s to do unspeakable things and it is not just the killing of the Jews. He committed so many crimes against humanity it is mind blowing. I lived in Germany in the 60’s and 70’s as a military dependent and we lived off base for many of those years. I lived with Germans and listened to the stories of their parents, friends, and neighbors. Reading books does not give a person the kind of understanding that hearing it first-hand gives. Hitler was both a genius and a tyrant. He made everything he did sound so wonderful and he put people under his spell. Then before the people could react, came the concentration camps, mass murders, taking of the children and the list goes on and on.
America is now following in Hitler’s footsteps. Obama stands before the people and convinces them that we need to disarm the American citizen. He speaks so eloquently that he convinces us just to follow along like a bunch of sheep. DON’T fall for it. He is lying! Even if you don’t own or don’t want to own a gun you must stand up and fight for YOUR RIGHT to own a gun. All American’s must fight to uphold the Constitution in its entirety. Our forefathers gave their lives for each and every right we as American’s enjoy on a daily basis. The President cannot pick and choose the Amendment’s he doesn’t want to uphold.
Mr. Obama has more armed Secret Service that any other President. He has armed guards at the school his daughter attends, but other children can’t have the same security, to make “other children” safe we must take guns away from law-abiding citizens.
Another alarming issue: While telling the citizens of this country to tighten our belts (my belt is so tight I’m turning blue) Mr. Obama and family are taking multi-million dollar vacations and our elected officials are flying around the country on the taxpayer’s dime. Congress isn’t doing their jobs they are just blaming the other party. The Senate is a place for bills to go and sit until they don’t matter anymore. The party systems and the Electoral College must go away. They both stand in the way of our country running efficiently. Congress should not spend 4 hours each day on the phone soliciting money for their party, they should spend their time doing their job…taking care of the people who elected them, not the people who paid for them. Obama says do what I tell you to do or I’ll quit paying Social Security or quit paying the military (my nephew didn’t get paid last month, he is in the Army). He is using scare tactics. We need to scare him right back and inform our elected officials including the President that they money that won’t be paid is their paychecks.
Another lie, no one that makes less than 250K will have a tax increase. Well I make $150 a week at my part time job. My taxes increased 5%. Two percent of that was the Social Security going back to the normal rate. So Mr. Obama why are you getting an additional 3% on a paycheck that earns less than $10,000 a year. Every person needs to take a close look at their paystubs.
Mr. OBAMA is not an American citizen, his education records are not real, he is a fraud!!! Yet the House of Represenatives will not take any actions against him. I don’t even think that he was re-elected in the 2012. I believe that American’s have been duped and the election was a fraud!
Well that’s my nickles worth.
All I was interested in was cheaper energy and independance.I don’t wish to get paranoid about the sky falling and all the rest of these what ifs. Being prepared and living in fear are not the same thing for me.
What really scares me is that we could eventually loose our right to bare arms. President exercising marshall law to remove the guns and how crazy it will become. The plan is already in action with the secret prisons they are building. We are in for some crazy times ahead.
Hi Frank,
You ask for an opinion about what is happening. I am a old man at 75-76 soon, crippled an in a wheelchair. I hear our political leaders, who has never done a honest days work in their entire lives, working daily on arms control. Why? Because an unarmed nation is not able to remove the scum which always floats to the top. A man in a wheelchair can not jump into his rig and race out into the wilderness, and besides who else would be out there preying on the weak and elderly.
So what is the real answer to America’s delima? Out of control government, regulators every-where? You are partially correct with you alarmist survival attempts. What America needs is for the younger generation to wake up, impeach and vote out the gun controlers who swore to protect
the constitution of the United States when they took office. Start a new honest political party of Truly Patroits. Do something about the mental health patients and criminal elliments, throw out anti American rights groups, such as DSHS ,Planning commissions, regulating agencies that do nothing for America but enforce more government control on the people. If you ran out into the woods and built a shelter to protect your family it would certianly be in violation of many State and County laws without their permits and planning along with enviromental studies. Besides you would proably be shot by an illegal alian who is out there raising illegal pot, which should never have been illegal to use as a healing plant when not being abused by fools. Everyone talks to everyone else today on these computers, our government knows how powerful communacation is and they have concerns about this freedom. But it seems these same people would rather play computer games instead of discussing the dangerious political enviorment gathering all over the world to enforce control over us. Do you want to learn something? THEN LOOK AT THE PAST WORLD HISTORY, THIS WILL TELL YOU THE FUTURE OF YOUR WORLD. Well excuse the poor spelling and grammer from an old man who will set here in a wheelchair and watch as the fools give up their freedom and rights to those who have never worked or accomplished anything other then law school and working the system to support their crooked lazy life styles. Old Hugh
Frank,
The ultimate frustration for an engineer is to know a solution to a major problem and not be able impliment a solution. One of our most serious problems these days is inexpensive energy. That along with the fact that whoever controls the energy supply is actually in control of everything … especially the econonmy. Our leaders seem to not even recognize that problem and have limited the production of petroleum, and a the distribution. On top of that, India, China and Canada are progressing in that realm. The “winner” in that effort will control the world economy. All three of those nations are going after energy beamed down from space. An energy delivery system in space is a lot like a generator energized by river with a dam. The energy is “free” and the only cost is the construction and maintainance of the facility. That has been proposed by engineers at NASA all the way back in the 80’s but has been turned down because of the high cost of delivery to orbit. Engineers at NASA have been trying to get NASA to work on a low cost system (the big dumb booster) but that has also been rejected. Obviously that would reduce the NASA budget. Every effort to convince the management that it would be a “boom” to the overall space program … including ventures to far space … have been ignored. There’s an old saying that we deal with evil in high places. That’s almost an “understatement”. Our nation is in trouble in a lot of ways, but the economy (economical energy) is where “the rubber hits the road”.
Your effort to economize the use of energy is the immediate solution to the problem. And it will suffice for homeowners. However, a LOT of energy is required for manufacturing, transportation, national defense etc. The supply for those items is best supplied by electricity and/or petroleum. Both are available in sufficient quantities, but we must convince our leaders to listen to the engineers regarding the alternatives for the solution and impliment their “best” choice.
See the most “modern” version of the “big dumb booster” in the Web site Advent Launch Services. The last three years of my career at NASA-JSC was devoted to getting that project implimented. 1997,8,9. After graduation (employment at NASA is like goint to graduate school) the Advent project has been the primary activity. Seems no one will subsidize a project that NASA rejects. :o( We all need to do a lot of praying. ;o)
There are so many what if’s in the world – well, a person could spend an entire life preparing for one catastrophe or another. The “what if’s” are mind boggling and the prep entirely all too consuming. But, there is prudence in being basically prepared in food, water, shelter and protection. Loosing a job or getting hurt or becoming part of a natural catastrophe are happening all around us and it makes sense to create personal insurance for those possibilities.
We have focused on the basics with no particular catastrophe in mind – just general preparedness to carry on if any one of the things we now rely on were to implode or simply cease to function. When things get tough (and they probably will) being able to provide for ourselves makes perfect sense no matter what the circumstance. And, it is fun to be more independent from the rich resources we generally enjoy now!
We are very interested in clean water, food storage, electrical off grid systems and the like. WE are interested in protecting those resources without becoming a military operation. There is a balance in the whole affair which we generally do not see in the people on TV preparing for one dooms day scenario after another. Any one of those situations is at least possible – but most are not immediately probable. Common sense needs to be a part of the equation and it is evident many of the so called prepping people on television do appear unbalanced – even panicked in their preparation pursuits. Getting into huge debt during the preparing process does not make any sense!
I grew up living off the grid and at the time, it did not seem to be much of an inconvenience. We canned and stored food much the way they managed in years past and we were able to live well with no panic at all. We had no electricity at all for many years and we managed to do just great.
Then, I grew up and had to have all the modern conveniences until we realized the dependency – almost slavery we owe to the present lifestyle. It is prudent to discover what is enough and be perfectly happy with it.
People can live perfectly happy lives with considerably less complication. Previously, people managed for centuries without all the things we now believe we must have to survive.
So – we are interested in many of the general concepts of being less dependent but are not interested in fanatical – fearful indulgences.
Survival……from a Neuclear blast above the stes that fries all power frids and in short puts us back inthe 19th century.
I figure that as weird as the world is getting, it will be only about 2 years before we see our economy collapse and everyone goes feral. Our leaders are working to their own agendas and are not really working for the people, we are VERY vulnerable right now with our debt to earnings ratio being as bad as it is and getting worse. I’m looking at becoming more self sufficient for a couple of reasons: If things go bad, I will be a little more prepared than the average joe and if things miraculously turn around, I will still be better off for not depending on outside entities. My wife and I have started our gardens, composting, we have a septic system already, I am looking at getting solar panels for the house and building others for individual items. We are dehydrating food like crazy and have multiple ways to purify/store water. Home security is getting better and I am setting up some ties with the neighbors. But I am always looking for new ideas and ways to become less dependent on others.
I like what Steve has written.
Is there a low cost feasible method of storing electricity? If so, what would this entail?
For instance, is there a way of taking old 12 volt batteries, and reconditioning them safely, to hold a charge in a battery storage rack?
As for heat storage, what are the most cost effective methods of storing heat from Radiant Solar Heat or Hot Water Solar Heating?
Dan
I would like to hear more about energy storage. There are many ways to produce energy but the storage and distribution to me is the key. Not just electricity but steam, hot water, air pressure, chemical, etc…. There are huge battery storage systems but unless you have millions you are out of the market. There is A123, and the failed Ener1 and Becon Power systems. I can produce it but in what ways can the average Joe store it?
Steve
i a gree 100%
My biggest concerns have to fall into the general decay of our society. I believe it’s a human condition, which can be corrected. I fear, though, that at this juncture in our country when the majority of people seem to have re-elected a Constitution-despising demagogue, that our time is very short. I’m not about fear-mongering or paranoia, but when one must look at how our country was founded and the principles it was founded upon, we are radically far away from that founding. If you do not fear God, you should. If you haven’t been grateful for the many blessings that have been bestowed upon us by our Creator, you should. If you’re living your life in selfishness and doing what you can to step on the next guy to get ahead, you should wake up and realize that YOU, too, will see a day when your eyes will no longer open. The attitude of entitlement is destroying our civilization, just like Greece, Italy, the UK, Cuba, North Korea, etc. Even Russia has come to its’ senses and established a 13% flat tax for ALL citizens.
No amount of preparedness can give real security in substitute of preparing one’s soul for the uncertain as our founding fathers did, who feared and trusted our Creator.
All of your information are though provoking and hit some of our many concerns.keep it up!
I recently well about four mo. ago sent in a deposit for the powerforpatriots videos and how to make stuff to produce my electricity and have never recieved my disks, and packages could you help me out and get them, my deposit was recieved via credit card and still nothing in the mail. Seriously??
I’m retired because of disabilities caused from working a job.We had an idiot who was the manager at the time in a retail Store install a high shelf with an S hook rather than the bracket made to hold the shelf. When that shelf fell my instints had me catch it.When i retired on SSD in my late 40s I was only able to get less than half of my SSD and it was slightly less than half of the amount I put into the program every week I worked.This was because I refused to divorce my husband of 25+ years. Every week I worked there was a deduction taken from my check just as happens to any American who works. In the past when others came from another country they had to earn the right to be an American. They had to get a green card to work then learn our language and take a test to be here. We work for every thing we own. My Grandfathers came to America on a green card because they had a sponcer for a job as had my husband’s family. They worked hard for everything they had. The wifes stayed home and worked farms while their husbands worked jobs as well as the farm to but their housing, furniture and everything they could afford to buy themselves.The harder they worked the betterjobs they got. One grandfather worked in a stable and earned enugh to buy the company from his older boss. When cars started coming in he got ahold of some and learned to repair those and sold some to others. He came from Ireland. Everything he had he earned including his citizenship.No one gave him anything but the right to be here with what ever he carried off that ship he got here on. My Other grandfather was Canadian and the oldest of 8 and newly married. His Father had passed away. He managed to get green cards for himself, His widowed Mother and Sisters, Brothers and his Wife and her Mother. All the women worked a huge farm and the ones that were old enough all worked as masons and carpenters.They built homes and Factorys. When the wooden Church burned on on the Mills they built bought enough Granite to build a stone church. Every one who built the mill or homes gave their skills to rebuild the church. The money saved was figured to be $50,000 dollars for their labor.It’s one of the most beautiful churches around this area and being graniteshould last for many generation and is now serving the 4th generation from those laborers who gave their time freely.That part of our family came with what they could bring in a few wagons with horses.
In these times immigrants are citizens the second their feet touch the soil.Now this is automatic. The thing that makes me maddest is these new Americans have the right to get SS as soon as they come into our country. They are given a large amount of money for each family member,money for furniture,newer cars,foodstamps, housing,and more than some of us earn in a lifetime. Many of our older folks go without but nt these new immigrants they have it all. I have a friend born in the small city below us 30 miles where many of these immigrants live. She has to travel 20 miles to work now as these immigrants get the jobs in thecity. the ones born there can’t get hired. Why do these new people have more rights than the people born there? Because they are a minority now. Some of our own people end up on welfare because there are no jobs if they can’t afford to buy an expensive car and travel to work. Plus in this state you must have insurance. Many factories have closed and so have some of the larger mills. The governor is proud we are now a tourist state. Most jobs are resturants, and other minimum paying jobs catering to tourists.In a few months my husband who being the oldest of 9 and not having any education because his mother was in and out of mental hospitals and he had care of his brothers and sisters. He worked any job he could and will now be retiring too.What are we natural born Americans supposed to do to live now? Our government does give us oil. The vast sum which is enough for one month. In these Northern states we have to heat for close to 7 months how many sets of closthes can one person wear to keep warm?. On less than 2K a month how are we to live? Thank God for places like this site.
Frank,
I’m not fighting mad. Some think I should be, but I think that would be acting similarly, and in the same league, with what I understand as being The Great Male Conspiracy. Let me say first that I appreciated you Power 4 Patriots CD-Rom. I haven’t built a solar panel yet, but I will this summer.
The Great Male Conspiracy, as I have “imagined” it to be, is basically the current (though ancient) human understanding of reality and how humanity fits into it. I say imagined because I believe imagination is largely (at start) responsible for everything people the world over think and do. And since it was men who originally ruled the roosts, as basically they still do, the paradigms of understanding, (imagined) and thinking about reality is founded in the ancient male takes on reality. And since little has changed, we are now in a world of shit with pollution: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other greenhouse gases, plus all the water and land pollution all over the world. That will never change by people becoming angry. In fact I think, it will not change at all for the people alive today. There is already enough carbon pollution in the atmosphere to eventually kick humanity’s ass, and still people worldwide are pumping humongous amounts up there daily and they won’t quit until they wake up to the disastrous truth of their (our) actions: carbon pollution! Who in this world is willing to give up their coal fired electricity, their transportation, their air conditioning? Get the picture?
If I thought this life on this world was all, I would be extremely worried, and yes mad too. But I don’t. And that is another subject.

Hi Frank
I am a hard core Patriot and am fighting mad about our administration on Capital Hill threatening to use administrative orders to take away my right to keep and bear arms. My fear is most Americans DO NOT know what our right to keep and bear arms is really about. Each Citizen must be willing and able to defend their family, community & State against foreign and domestic threats.
If you are NOT willing to be armed to protect your family, and community, YOU should pay a fee to depend upon police protection.
This may sound harsh to some, but we as a nation have been taught to depend upon government for protection, and shirk our responsibility.
I would like more on being prepared.
Kind regards,
Ted
I consider myself a patriot, back to earth, as far off grid for cost benefits more so than EMP or service disruptions… Trying to keep a positive viewpoint of what I can impact. My family, My work (for many more years) and community…
There is a very fine line between what some are thinking and planning for while blaming the Obama administration for problems mostly created in the early 2000’s and many before that.
I would like to hear positive things that we can do and impact no matter who is in power globally or locally… How to work with your local government to impact change or get what you believe to be fair (safety project, opposition to spending…) –
How to work to help your community to organize in preparation for weather disasters or other calamities to avoid the problems when some are woefully clueless or unable to help themselves (our seniors, disabled and sick) (I work in emergency management and response)
Discussion about how many / what type guns are needed. Whether there should be a firm stance on the assault weapon discussion or whether we should be allowed to have RPG’s or our own drones for self defense… Could be an interesting dialog for your group…
I also want to hear more about solar and wind technologies in everyday use… interview people that have made their own, maintain their own and the issues they have encountered (I am in a northern state)
Keep up the positive and good work! BF
Hi Frank,
Thanks for all the info. Could you go into detail about what specifically is needed in a bug out bag and all the other necessities required to survive? I know you’ve talked a lot about what is required to survive, like water, the seeds, our own source of energy, etc., but could you talk about everything else that is required, like certain blankets, clothing, knives, boots, gasoline (and how to safely store extra gasoline), etc. I appreciate the help. Thanks.
I would like to hear what you have to say about digging your own water well..
I’m particularly concerned about O’Bama “Care” kicking in and completely screwing up our health care with it’s “death pamels”, etc. Too, “Fiscal Cliff” contrived by the O’Bama administration will continue to be an “issue” for our detriment; not our benefit. The forecast for the taxpayers (Us) is not only not good but downright ugly.
I bought your package (and I love the content) but, I haven’t implemented it as yet. I figure I’ll know when the best time is to do so. What I’d like you to cover if possible is preserving meat. If such a time ever comes (GOD forbid) where our society breaks down to such a state that there are no more food stores, I’d like to know how to preserve hunted meat; i.e. drying, curing, pemmican, etc.
when i saw your ad i thought 30 bucks would not break me, so i took a chance. I am dissapointed because i did not get the cd’s and books about solar power, but you did what you said you would do. I am on Hughs net and don’t have the mem to view all of the video you send. Anyway just to let you know.
John

An American revolution and Fracking
Back in December I was worried about what was happening on 21. Now that is passed, nothing happened. Now worried about goverment trying to run us into camps,in middle of night. Hope that never happens. Also worried about magnetic field.
Your excellent information is appreciated, however, your range of issues should focus on the most realistic threats (man-made and natural) and survival imperatives. Please help us fine-tune our abilities to develop efficient off-the-grid energy resources in both urban and rural environments. Further, the essential need to be prepared for EMP attack is so compelling, I feel more needs to be devoted to this topic. Thanks for your investment in our independence!
I appreiate the info you been sending I havesaved it all.I feel the same as you-something will behappning & you need all the info you can get.Right now I have got a couple more guns for protection.I think somthing is going to happen also.Thank for all the info you seend me- Dan
I believe that all your precautions are advisable. BUT .. Right after 9/11 the congress was passing laws during thanksgiving or Christmas break. I remember one law that shocked and made me mad ! If the president declares a national emergency then the government can come in and take all extra food you have stored and leave you with only 2 weeks food. I am fairly certain this is remembered accurately. It shows how much my government cares for my FREEDOM. Luckily I live where there is the widest variety of plant life in the world except the Black Forest in Germany. The wider variety the more food plants growing wild ready to be picked and eaten. I do intend to order your seeds but will have to save cause I have a very low income on disability
stick to alternative energy, off grid power, maybe even maintaining or hardening ones own power supply
stay focused
BEING VERY CONCERNED About the direction of the current administration and liberals in general, I look for ways of properly uniting to overcome this troubling happening. My children have even bought the line of crap being slung at us, giving me fears of a coming split of families and parties, worse than it is and ever was. The administration is succeeding in totally dividing this country into three or more sections breaking up the strengths that we should have. Several demi leaders are already vying for their parts in this divide, thus making it even harder to unite in a single cause. I believe that I know the ultimate outcome, but am fearful of using any electronic ways of expressing these thoughts. Ideas?
Dear Mr. Frank,
I would like to know how to build a Tesla coil for our little foothill community. We have 9 neighbors. Thanks so much for all you do. Louise
@Jimmy eich … not sure about them selling email addresses, but there have been a couple of sponsors of GB’s enterprise that I have issues with. I don’t know if my emails ever get thru, but I write principals involved with The Blaze and tell them why I object and ask that they do their homework and make the appropriate decision. Just recently, I petitioned them to drop CheaperThanDirt.com as a sponsor due to their lack of support for 2nd Amendment rights and some other information that I have on this company’s (lack of) scrupples.
@ George … I agree. I think we’re approaching a very dangerous precipice in time that could make the fiscal cliff look like a mole.
Question Mr. Frank,
How do you protect your Solar panels from the weather?
(1) from strong wind
{2) from hail and rain
since I am a person of faith, I really do not have actual fear of anything.
I was only promised by my constitution certain freedoms and rights. it must also be remembered that we were only promised the PURSUIT of happiness.
I do believe in fore planning and preparation that will help with short and/or long-term catastrophes, including governmental craziness. I do not like my freedoms to be taken away.
I will prepare for that and natural disasters.
I like the ideas you are sending as they assist me in my endeavors.
thank you
The main thing at this time is the left’s all out assault on banning assault weapons. The second amendment has absolutely nothing to do with those who hunt, who shoot targets, who colllect guns. The second amendment has everything to do with DEFENSE from tyrannical government that would limit or ban first amendment protections, that would limit or band second amendment protections or any other protections established by the founders in the constitution. Should the federal government shake down the American public for weapons, that is the one thing that could lead to a very volitile public unrest. The constitution is about individual protections of American citizens whose reponsibility is to not only DEFEND those protections, but to DEFEND themselves, family and other Americans.
Frank,
I thank you for you asking for feed back. I mainly wish to hear about ways to generate power inexpensively and in a Do it yourself manner. The ways to incorporate into daily home use to reduce bills. The survival thing is not of great concern for me – we are rural people and very self sufficient if need be and can be more with a very short or no lead time. I do believe that our civilization especially economically has very little room for error that could lead to failure. Spend a little time in third world countries or just open your eyes and you will see how what most people see as security is not real.
Social unrest between people, and being able to laylow till things sort out
The things that worry me most is government not in touch with the real world! I’m also a para and use a wheelchair
Dear Mr. Bates:
It is not that I am not interested but rather that I am suffering from information overload. Perhaps I have taken on too much.
Nevertheless, it will take me sometime to process all this information that you supplied to me and all the other information coming my way about the state the world and the weakness of our economies and their effect on my ability to survive.
Also on a practical level, I live in a basement which I rent. Therefore, I am limited by what I can do.
I am more interested in building portable solar generators. I have built a small one that works fine and now want to build a bigger one to be able to move to specific sites, and not be relegated to one site.I beleive their will be rolling blackouts as early as this Summer as the goverment starts shuting down coal fired power plants. I want to build at least 3 portable power plants. I had hoped to be able to find the necessary parts that are needed to complete my projects, but I am still having to go on line to multiple sites to get parts. I have been into alternative energy and self sufficency for many years and have done a lot to prepare fore the coming problems,be it financial collapse, magnetic enrgy bursts.
I worried about the price of electricity and the unreliability of it. I want to learn about a free
standing generator system outside my back door, not to ugly. I worry about clean water.
I am interested in collecting rain water for my plants.
I am moving to North Carolina in the summer. Can’t take the real cold anymore..it will be in the country on a farm…what do you think..is this good. Thirty mile below Greensboro.
what’s the best defense for the effects of an EMP strike? thanks
Dear Frank; I am not afraid or worried about anything man does…because I know in my Heart that my God is in control of all that goes on. He WILL take care of those who chose to take away his blessings that he has given out. This country has wanted to take him out of everything..now he turns his back on America…God does not force himself on anyone. But those who still believe know he is in control..and will take care of things in his own time..not ours.
But, I am mad as all get out…….because I want to know how Obama got into the White House and can be put back in without any one doing anything about it. I know the election was crooked
I know his goal is to strip all people of their rights and undo the Constitution if he can get away with it. So far the government has accomplish dumbing down the children in the previous generations so that no one cares ….as long as they get someone to take care of them. What happened to Common Sense and self respect and self worth. They don’t even realize they are throwing away their freedoms. I guess the big thing is to survive until Christ returns. Hopefully soon
Do you have an suggestions on how a single female can live safely out of their vehicle? I have a 2007 Kia Sportage, my backseats fold flat. I live in the Charleston, SC area. I was thinking maybe I could rent a space at a campground? The weather is too volatile and changes so rapidly, living in a tent would be out of the question.
I am a 74 year old widow and have a lot a worries. I can get around, but am not real fast but not on crutches or such. I am not real strong and being alone, I need to know the most important things, My grandson was interested in your elec and wind energies, but in the process of moving, I am unable to find my book. I have enjoyed your short printouts on things such as the cooler cellar, foods and seeds that one can use and just other things. I do not have a lot of money, but I have kekpt some seeds in a sealed jar and I have used them years later. Is that wise to depend on them? I do know that some do not germinate. I also keep some (about 20 gallons of water on hand, but if I have to flee, that is a lot to carry. Any other help is appreciated. Oh, I do not have a gun and probably could not use it against anyone.
RATS & METH IN THE UNION. As a confederate imprisioned in the north, I report again on some current conditions from prison chicago. The homeless live in the alley behind our business and have been there the last 15 years. Most in the past have been alcoholics or cokeheads. The new breed seem to be meth addicts. They have a funny crooked walk and do not communicate in any manner as the others did. We leave them alone just like the ones before them, as it seems to keep down the number of attempts at break-ins. There has always been a rat problem, thus our need to employ and care for 2 cats. For us they keep the rats off our property. The city baits poison each year that , in the past kept the population manageable. No longer. The economic conditions have seen cutbacks in all services apparently including rat abatement. The population is out of control in numbers unseen before. The locals complain to the city, but the rats are bigger, more agressive and no longer only nocturnal. The homeless sleep amongst them and with them. Our killer cats are still keeping them at bay, but for how long is questionable. My position is just outside downtown chicago, and may provide a guideline to the slow breakdown of the advanced societal aggresive north. Violence in a city up north may not surprise you, but I say again, things are “different” now. The meth addicts beg on the local corners. You can tell they are drug addicts, alcoholics etc. yet people constantly give them monies. For what I ask ? More drugs. Idiots ! No worries. These homeless our my neighbors. They survive. The youngins (yuppies) that move in to the shabbily built condos, do not stay long. They think they are tough, but the addicts, rats, violence and government corruption run them off quick. The turn around on condos is quicker than the homeless movement. That big real estate boom in years past is proving a fluke to the max. Many condo buildings built in the last 25 years are already falling apart. The no. 1 problem is shoddy roof materials that come with water problems and the occuring after effects, mold, mildew, odors, stench etc. We work those buildings every day. In some cases conditions are kept just above appalling, so as to be able to turn it over to another youngin looking for a cheap living arrangement. Then the dat blaine same thing happens all over again, each keeping the unit in worse condition than the ones that preceded them. Condos are now becoming abandoned just like the vacant small business store fronts I reported on in my previous post. I am conviced what is to come, is already happening in the big cities, yet squashed and undereported. I will keep you updated as I see the new concerns. People around all seem to be on edge, uptight, and some just outright terrified. We each live on every day,to pay the tax man that cometh reaping the benefit of their spoils. Strength & Honor.
I work in the hospital. So, I can’t just pick up and leave. I am on the list when a disaster hits
to be on call. How will all these escape routes, knowing when to leave and where would I
run too????
Food storage and prepping in RVs.
I have great concerns about being able to purchase a couple of acres of land before the depression hits and where a safe place will be for me and my daughter. I want to be out of the major cities, but 2 women living alone brings about real safety challenges.
Greetings.
Some time ago I made a list of everything on my “master” shopping list, from lettuce to kitty litter. And everything in between. Then, on the right side of the paper, an alternative I could use. It was a most informative exploration of what life might be like should going to the store no longer be an option.
As I live off-grid for the most part, it was not that bad. Well, save for toilet paper. Anyway, if you did an article on alternatives for most normal items and alternatives available, that would be kinda cool.
Thanks for your news so far. Life is good, if we live it and enjoy it.
Crow
I’d like to know how & where to go about contacting a prepper community? Safety in numbers should the need arise. Also, would like info on Aquaponics if you or anyone have any idea how to get started without breaking the bank.
I have appreciated your tapes, however my wife passed away recently and I may get into this
at a later date, Thanks, I’ll be reading your guide as I go.
stick to everything solar and wind-cut out all the other bullshit
Our Government is much too BIG and Powerful and is Very Corrupt. They have been telling LIES and putting out mis-information for over 50 years. The US Government has been building secret underground bases for that same amount of time without any explanations. On the surface they have built FEMA prison camps all over the US, they have bought millions of body bags and coffins, Plus they have dug graves to put them in different parts of the country. FEMA has bought over One Billion Dollars of emergency food and supplies recently, probably for the underground cities that were built. Homeland Security has bought over 450 million rounds of 40 cal hollow point ammunition. They have been asking the military if they would shoot US Citizens if ordered to do so and they have been training foreign troops in the US for years in house to house tactics. The Government has passed many laws that have taken away almost all of our freedoms. The last presidential election was a total fraud, the same as Obama, who is a criminal and a puppet of the Bilderburg Group. Gun control is the next big thing on the Government’s Agenda. If they succeed in disarming America it is all over for this country. These things and many more that I could mention are the reasons that nothing you can do will matter if the Government declares Marshal Law and starts picking up people to be brought to FEMA Camps and possibly exterminated. Most people are brainwashed into believing the Media which is owned and controlled by the Government. This same pattern has happened many times in other countries. We would have a better chance of surviving the worst Natural disasters then surviving what our own Government has planned for us.
My concern is America leaving the protection of God and even possibly bringing judgment on us. Thus subject to terrorist & dirty bombs. Also if America sides with dividing Israel, the New Madrid Fault might divide America. (See the Navy’s projected maps)
We know that all the blood of unborn babies are crying out.
I’m not worried about personal judgement but would have to endure judgement on the nation.
@Bill When buying your reloading gear,you may want to consider Lee reloaders.Their equipment is first rate,and inexpensive-about half the price of the other companies.Look them up on the internet,and get their catalogue.A complete reloading outfit for a rifle,or pistol caliber goes for a $120 from outfits like MidwayUSA,NatchezSS,or Cabela’s.A complete shotshell reloader goes for around $40.Hope this helps get you get started.
I enjoy your articles and advice.
As an avis survivalist, and one that is interested in a simple life style that is not hooked to the power grid in my area, I find your advice very helpful.
Thanks and have a Merry Christmas.
What about these shelters that are prefabricated? Can we build our own?
How to know what to prepare for. It is one thing to prep for bugging in. It is quite another matter to know where to go if we have to leave. HOW do we find safe places to go?
Thank you for the information. I have added a funnel and cloth strainer to my water container supplies. We have a creek within a quarter mile of the house. I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Fukashima is affecting water in the State of Washington. My info cimes from a major corporation working in that state. Please keep us alert on the spread of nuclear contamination.
I can see the writing on the wall with these socialists now holding a second term. I just purchased a carry/conceal pistol, I’ve taken the course, and I’m now waiting for my certification to go through. I’m becoming accutely aware that our now anti-2nd Ammendment government wants us unarmed and one of the ways to do that is to tax the heck out of us. The price of ammunition has gone up considerably and my guess is it won’t stop. I’d like to get a reloader, as many of my friends have, however, I know that those components will become harder and harder to come by.
What can I do to off set this right now? Where can I obtain these items without breaking my bank account?
Thanks for all you do!

Money! Not having the money to prepare. I had to file Chapter 13 Bankruptcy to save my home from foreclosure. I already work two jobs and it’s still not enough. I really don’t have ANY extra money to prep. I can barely feed myself in the here and now, much less buy a few extras each time I go to the store. I’m already down to one meal a day, if that, as it is, so it’s extremely hard for me.
I want to do a garden and start canning my own food. That too takes money and time I don’t really have working 7 days a week. I was trying to get the plans on growing a secret garden. I thought I bought that DVD from you, but it never came nor did I get a link for it. I got a bunch of other stuff, but not that, the one thing I really needed. So I’m quite disappointed in that part. I’m not handy with wood working, I’m sure I could learn…BUT!…you gotta have money to buy the equipment and the materials for your projects. I can’t even get someone to build a solar food dehydrater for me. And I offered to supply the materials needed.
So! Anyone have any ideas on how to earn the money needed to buy what is needed to prep? I want to take my house off the grid, but solar power is so out of my price range, that’s not going to happen any time soon. Building it myself is something I know I could do, however, once again, you have to be able to afford the items needed to build it. It’s just a vicisous cycle.
Unless I can find a way to come up with the thousands of dollars it takes to prep and get off the grid, I’m gonna die right along with all the other ignornant fools that failed to heed the warnings and didn’t prepare…that’s a scary thought when you’re a 52-year-old, single female.
the destruction of our currency by the fed and obama will affect our lives in ways we cannot imagine
My biggest concern is the direction or country is going due to the policies and the agenda of our Socialist President and his socialist pro-Muslim anti-Israel administration and appointees. This impacts the entire world because our country is being destroyed from within through our re-education system, dismantling of our defense, destruction of our way of life and capitalist economic system, etc. The world depends on the U.S. to maintain any type of resemblance to civilized behavior and normalcy and security both physical and economical.
Hi Frank,
I am currently living out of the country and working for the Department of Defense. When my wife and I return to the U.S. eventually, we would like to live off the grid. We already have a country home, have our own well, but want to install solar and wind, as well as geo-thermal for water. I built the house with a reinforced storm shelter in the basement. My brothers and I grew up hunting and fishing and learned survival skills from our grandparents and parents – who learned them from native Americans. Would like to know more about the establishment of networks of likeminded people like us, who love freedom and appreciate independence. How can we all work together and share resources, skills, and strategies like you are here. Maybe you could highlight what others are doing using your methods and strategies. thanks.
Hi Frank –
As a native southern Californian, I’ve been watching for years how this state embraces illegal imigrants from Mexico. Since we have become a sanctuary state for them, I am seeing things on-line like the term MEChA. Occasionally, some of their members will direct disgust for anyone who defends a states right to defend their own borders such as Arizona. Many high ranking officials in this state also support MEChA. (Such as the mayor of Los Angeles). I wonder how long before we start seeing caches of weapons delivered from the cartels for these people who have no desire to be Americans to begin their third independence push. First Spain, then France, next the US. When it all comes down, I see my biggest challenge besides surviving, in trying to get my family out of California.The liberals here don’t seem to understand that once amnesty is granted to “La Raza”, swelling the liberal voting base won’t even be the intention. MEChA believes that they will retake the Southwest US without a shot being fired through the legislation of our own government. It’s concerning.
Your fellow Patriot,
Scott
I have been reading your info for a while and I like most of what you write about. I agree with our country is in trouble and I encourage people to prepare for hard times ahead. Fact is I recently published my book called Flee to the Mountains, a fictional story about a family who builds a sanctuary ranch to escape persecution in the cities. It can be found on Amazon or Barnes and Nobles. I joined your site to gather information for the book so I thank you for your help.
HI FRANK:
WE LIVE IN A SMALL NV TOWN VERY REMOTE, COLD w/ SNOW IN THE WINTER… HAVE A MILITARY BACKGROUND AND AN AN OUTDOORSMAN…
MY MAIN CONCERNS ARE:
1) FOOD & WATER STORAGE (MAINLY IN THE FREEZING WINTERS)
2) LONG TERM SHELTER & WARMTH
3) PERSONAL PROTECTION
4) PERSONAL LONGIVITY
5) IF I HAVE T LEAVE WHERE TO????
THANKS Lm
I am IT personnel and over 55 years old. I have enough power shortage with 5 years storm and electric bill jump out high with three years. I read manul and watch vedio on CD and your email from you. I have been reaseatch and review other vedio to build up my OFF-GRID solar power. I try to set up and don’t know how much I need on solar panel with 250W solar panel, battery, charge controller and inverter to match my current 150A main switch grid. I have no way to get answer from you and your website. Please give me techinical advice on this question.
My question is what is your background and credentials with regard to survival issues beyond the various power sources of solar, wind, and the electric grid.? My understanding is that you are an electrician and now a business man. Please reply. Thanks-Frank Stolz
I would like to have items that relate to “stay in place” in the country from a town 40K or more folks.
Things like weapons; underground shelters; water saving/storage; bug-out of last resort with best and worst locations(presently located in central Texas 50 miles south of Waco); best books onand more articles on doing things like all tasks needed for self sufficiency, power, water, skinning animals, trapping, articles like “Prepper Porn”site. Still need to have your articles that give different ideas and tasks. Keep doing as you have,
I am a re-incarnated confederate soldier sent to the land of the Yankees as my punishment for my roles in the civil war. I report to you from the killing fields of the Union city of chicago. You may read about the gang wars here, but the truth is far from reaching the masses. It is much worse here than is being reported. My sentence in this hellhole is life, and has so far entailed 56 years. The gang war is over the control of drug turf, and the killings are daily. The shootings each day are in the ten-fold, and those are only the reported ones. Initially, I thought my purchase of your material was a mistake. A quick review showed solar is still too expensive and complicated (for us) to integrate into a home grid, but the tutorials will come in handy if all else breaks down. But, I am feeling well more than compensated by your subsequent informative e-mails. These are very good reminders, and hard copies of them can make for an educational manuscript of what may be the inevitable. As a nascar fan that visits the south quite often, I run into many folks saying they hope to visit the Union land. I tell all to not come to Chicago. There has been a rash of mob beatings of tourists and locals for cell phones, laptops etc. There is a gang initiation called “knock-out”, were by, they are accepted, if they one punch knock-out a citizen. Taxes are causing a mass exodus of small local businesses that made my community thrive in past years. This community is just outside downtown chicago, and, as a small business owner, we have fought off the recession, just as I fought the yankees before in the big war, but my small world confederacy is about to fall to yankee greed and yankee corruption once again, both of which are increasing daily, on a massive scale. If I had the time to video the surrounding local business store front closures, you would see the makings of another detroit. The violence is the worse in my lifetime, and I was once affiliated with the outlaw biker movement, so I was aware of it, seen it, experienced it and moved on to a conventional lifestyle. At least in those times, you knew what to expect, and who may be gunning for you. The new violence has progressed to guerrila type warfare from both the street gangs, as well as the corruption in government, which is very well disguised by austerity measures already put in place years ago. We can no longer afford our healh insurance,building taxes, and other combined taxes, and have bought a small land parcel in the northwoods, and are slowly preparing for a total move as soon as I can break these shackles. It is a known fact that the breakdown will occur in the big cities first. Also, I read somewhere that small business is the gauge to use on the financial problems that we can expect. Our state is bankrupt, has been for years, and I ask, Mr. Lincoln I wish you where here, the republic sure has changed in a hundred years. I do not think it is working out like you planned. (Hank Williams Jr. ) We are living the nightmare every day. After 16 years in business at the same location, we now had someone try to break in during the daylight hours for the first time. My wife feels more comfortable with our new german sheppard watch dog. We do not call police for daytime or night-time break-ins, as they are just reporters of these incidences. They are bad-ass though in attacking and taking out gangland warfare, and they are also being targeted by gangs during off duty hours (no access to cb radio – 3 shot in the last week) We need them , but do not bother them with break-ins, as we now protect as necessary thru our own means. My father was slave laborer for the Nazis in WWII. Before his death, he said son, every country needs a revolution at least every 100 years to weed out corrupt government. Frank, we are past do. My request to you, is info on this type of response to a government unable to govern anymore. It all is soon to hit the fan up here. Strength and Honor.
I just happened on this blog, and will add some of my history hoping it doesn’t bore anyone. I will be eighty six in January, so I’m far more able to meet hard times than so many computerized younger minds could. I was brought up on my grandparents farm. we had no electricity, an outside well, an outhouse, and only a kitchen cook stove. I worked for a dollar a day in the fields, thought when I could harness a team of horses by myself I was a man. I joined the Marines when I turned seventeen, and after the war joined the Navy for twenty years. I earned a federal Air Traffic Controllers license, an aircraft mechanics license and a commercial pilots license. I flew for the Civil Air Patrol in Hawaii for nine years and became a Lt.col. I have run D -6, D-7 and D-8 Caterpillars.While logging in Idaho I got backed over by my cat when the brakes slipped, picking up the choker cables behind and thankfully the sawyer down the hill was able to drive the cat off of me. Nine days in the hospital with a broken pelvis and crushed leg I was told to go see a Dr. He said I wasn’t hurt, I was just wanting some workman’s comp. He wasn’t aware I was working as a heavy duty mechanic while on crutches. I called a lawyer, and he wrote a couple letters. I later read that he was representing the same doctor in a malpractice case. What I’m saying is there is too much greed and it is growing in our government. Lifetime pay after one term? Free tuition for politicians kids? Four million of tax payers dollars for Obama’s Christmas vacation to Hawaii? And they want to take our guns away? When that illegal immigrant wants to declare a martial law, it will open the Pandora’s box and we will show who has the guts and brains. God bless America.
you are giving me much food and everything you talk about is interesting and useful. Just keep it up, you’ve got my ear. I’m kinda new to this but taking action by what I read from you :-)
I think you are doing a good JOB. Solar is a big thing for me, I have purchase a solar system, 7.17 KW . The bad thing is that I am still GRID tied. I have to buy 2 inverters that are stand alone.

I own 5 horses. I fear that I will not be able to keep them healthy if the feed stores close down. Having horses might be a positive thing to use for transportation and to do work such as pulling trailers or plowing when things start falling apart and we have no fuel to use conventional vehicles. But, I will need to learn how to grow grain for them or find other ways of feeding them. I know that, in Illinios many years ago, there was a friend of my husbands who learned how to grind up the grain he fed to his horses along with the green part of the grain plant that had been dried.It was ground up to look like very coarse meal…..and he said that kept weight on his horses all year round and seemed to keep them in perfect health….along with pasture. He never bought bagged feed after making this discovery. I want to say that he used corn kernels ground up with the dried corn stalks. Having the plant part in with the grain provided roughage and gave them other nutrients besides what is just found in the kernel. The key is getting it dried well enough to not allow molding during storage. I was wondering if you had anyone that knew about this problem and had some advice to share with us? I am sure I am not the only person with livestock that will need food for them when everything hits the fan. Some animals, such as chickens, can ‘free-range’ and get a lot of their nutrients from roaming and eating whatever they can glean. But, horses can only depend on pasture as long as the grass is alive and healthy….once winter comes….there has to be more. Hay is a partial option…..but few have the equipment to put up large quantities of hay. Guess we might have to learn how to do it by hand….like the Amish folks. I would like some lessons on this problem.
I, as a “prepper”, have begun collecting items I know will be useful in event of a disruption. While I may have several areas of needs covered, I think it would be helpful to have a numbered list of items by importance. This would provide me and others with something of a checklist and guide.
Trust that this might prove helpful. Additionally, much of your blog seems to be about new and good ideas for getting off the grid. I’d like to know specifically what you’d recommend with what you know is available right now.
Thanks.
I like the information on solar, hot water, and etc. I am not interested in hoarding or such for Jesus Christ has promised to meet my needs.
I’d like to know which is better: To stay in town amongst friends and relatives or to get out of town to a better location (and possibly take some of the friends and relatives with us). It is an “argument” that my husband and I have quite often. We can’t afford to fulfull our needs in both places so which is better?
I would like to learn more about wind power, and how to set up a “wind generated” system.
The value of the Greenback worries me. The govt just keep PRINTING new money, this is the ONLY reason that GOLD & SILVER are as high as they are now.
As gold goes up there ALSO goes gasoline. I do NOT have the means to move out of the USA
I can not understand why the populos, do NOT see how this MARXIST president,is taking the country !!!
The Idea of “Prepping” is not to be scared about the future, but simply knowing how to deal with what come up. And once you have the basics and a way to provide them, it is about redundancy and comfort.
I bought your Electric DVD’s… they are not the first. That does not mean I am Looking for MORE. The constant up sell is not getting me more interested in purchasing, but less.
Are there real concerns out there, yes. Are MOST people DONE in a real emergency… YES. Look at those not prepared in Sandy. And they had DAYS to “bug out”… And those people may need more information. But, for me and many of those that I know, we have the Bug Out bag, some tools, etc. (more but lets leave it at that) we sometimes buy things working on COMFORT… and SKILLS.
I am 71 yrs old and there are not to many things I worry about anymore. However, I am worried about Obama destroying our Constitution which he is trying to do. I worry about his trying to take the Second Ammendment away by means of the U.N.
Why are our Senators and Representatives so afraid of Obama? They have had almost 4 yrs now to go after HIM for not presenting proper documents, almost 4 years ago, proving he is a “Natural Born Citizens?” Why are they not going after his proper Social Security Numbers, his school records, etc??? Sheriff Joe Arpaio, from Arizona, has already done all the work for them. Now its up to them to follow through – BUT – none of them has the balls to do anything about it other than talk, talk, & talk, complain, complain, complain, etc.
By that means they can stop everything Obama has done since day one as the President – EVERYTHING.
But, every one is afraid of President Obama. Much can be said about this.
I don’t want another revolution in this country or another civil war with so many States talking about withdrawing from the Union.
These are the only things I am really interested in reading about.
To think that we can stop the unstoppable is over, now that the nation.has chosen a path that looks overwhelming ,we must now protect the fort we live in.your blog will give up hope to stand as other choose : if the blind lead the blind then let them both fall in the ditch but as for me and my house we will serve the lord and be wise as serpents and harmless as doves till the day comes.
You asked, so here goes. I find your articles on wind and solar energy, but difficult to comprehend. I would like a link to information for those who are not aware of the technical terms. You also talked about connecting my system to the grid, but I couldn’t find any details concerning how to do this. I would like to see examples detailing how to determine exactly how many solar cells would be required to build to power a home furnace, or an electric water heater.
Well, I hope I haven’t taken advantage of the offer. This is just for consideration.
Thanks, and keep the info coming!

I’m 72 years old,was born in a war zone,ate my dog to survive,and came to the US as a refugee,although I was an American citizen.As a kid,I grew up around Native Americans,learned their crafts and skills.After high school,went into the service.Dad did 32 years in USN,so it was expected.Later went into a “special skills unit”and did 28 years in Federal service.I’m an expert rifle and pistol shot,gun builder,expert archer and bow builder,master electrician,certified welder,and licensed small plane pilot.I still lift 200 lbs.So what I’m trying to say is that there are a lot of us out here that have already been exposed to a great deal of this training as a matter of course in our life times.I enjoy reading the input of all the others out there,because I am always learning something new.At the very least,I get a different slant on how to approach a problem.I always say that when you stop learning- -you’re dead.Since I have already lived about as long as I can expect,I will fight to the death when the Nazis come for me or my guns.You’re doing good work for your people- -keep it up.God bless the United States of America,and Long live the Constitution !
WHAT TO DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOUR GUNS .
hi frank I am a74yo vet single amputee.3 dependants and my self. only incomw is ssi and ss.
I have been looking for your information for several y7ears now and believe it fits my situation to a “t”.
I live where I have suffient wind and solar available to take me off the grid and sell some. my problem is getting suffient funds to purchase what I need. Like maqny of the others I am worried about my income.
I want the people who will not paint obama as an illegal, marxist to be identified, personally so I might work on their opponents re-election campaign. Why hasn’t this Russian trained, Iranian funded imposter been impeached?
Mr. Obama and his allies remind us that THEY won the election, but what does “won the election” really mean? We still have a huge debt and deficit and all of the American people are the losers regardless. The nation has to quit spending money it does not have; we can eliminate enough spending to get us out of this mess. Class warfare will not solve our problems because the rich do not have enough money even if you took it all (the money needed can only come from the 75% who claim to be middle class). That “47%” number was obviously incorrect and should have been at least 50.1%. Everyone who relies on a Federal (or State) payout (or paycheck) should be seriously concerned because those payments are now in real risk of continuing (what will you do when the check bounces?). We are worse off financially than Greece is except we don”t depend on the ability to borrow; we can (and rapidly are) run the printing presses, devaluing the dollar and putting all equity at risk. There comes a time when no one will want the U.S. Dollar.
We are in for a rough patch of unknown duration in this country that will put the last four years to shame. The solution starts with outlawing unions (COLAs are the initial cause of our demise) and cannot be concluded until we get an electorate that will really learn the issues and vote for those who have the long term future as their only reason for serving. The USA does not tax too little, we, Americans, need to say “No” to government handouts (regardless of the supposed need or benefit) and become more self sufficient. To be defendant on anyone or anything besides yourself for a pension is foolish, it is slavery.
We, as a country, have to encourage (insist on action) our leaders to balance our budget through cuts and less government. We have to take our medicine NOW.
Frank, I enjoy your postings on how to become less dependent on the power monopolies. At the moment I live very much “on the grid” but gather useful information for a time in the future when I may live “off the grid”.
I am a 62 year old, physically disabled computer consultant with a lifetime of experience in the mechanical and electronics fields. I have enjoyed watching your videos some of your emails in reference to living off the grid. My wife and I live in a nice house somewhere in SoCal in a fairly nice neighborhood. However we aren’t that far from what I would describe as the welfare classes. I’m well armed and out house is sturdy and has a good monitored security system and a video surveilance system. Of course these would be worthless without electrical power. We have natgas in abundance and it’s cheap for now. I was wondering if you have any knowledge of using natgas to fuel a diesel generator and also about compressing natgas to store in high pressure tanks as a reserve. My idea is to use the generator to power heavy duty loads when necessary and to charge batteries that power inverters for off peak use. Thanks – Edwin
” What do you think? ”
I am glad to be here with you. I am grateful to live in this blessed great land of a mighty people, full of talent, living among creative capabilities and many many good and kind hearts full of well meaning intentions. I am a very fortunate person to live in this mighty land.
I think, the USA MUST – “Remember and Appreciate” that this nation as Lincoln identifying this country said : a nation under God, is a government of the people, by the people, for the people.
America is made up of winners and winners don’t quit. America has the ability to making good and the right decisions. To stand up for Truth, get all the facts correct and make the mature stand for what it right. If the ancient city of Nineveh can clean up its act after Jonah gave the warning message, America so can, too !
The USA still has the chance to choose to make good differences, this nation is still a blessed great land of a mighty people, full of talent. I am grateful to be living among great creative capabilities and many many good and kind hearts full of well meaning intentions. I am thankful to be here with you, just as you I love my country too.

…disabled vet, broken neck/unwrapped spine… 10 percent disability…. went to civilian doctors who said, “we can’t do anything.. your neck is broken” go back to VA and tell them the civilian doctor and they said… ok… here’s sixty percent… and stop crying… don’t like it.. then appeal… over the next ten months they just kept asking me, “why do you keep coming back…?” Isn’t this the VA? I’ a thirty year veteran who cared for your kids and you tell me go get a job… we don’t do dental without being 100 percent… go get a job…
my son was ready to swear in…. recruited to the Rangers all set to go and I convinced him to look and think twice… you can serve the public without a uniform and a gun… VA seems to be running a school and pharmacy…. not serving the needs of the vets…. “your injuries don’t fit our classroom schedule…” go home and die….
I go home and they have a home nurse call and offer … 1300-1500 a day…. thrity thousand a month… but they won’t just document my injuries so my wife gets bennefits when I die… one doctor gave me a letter finally and then the VA sealed my records…
my son has been a police officer for the past six years now and I still can’t get what I need from the VA… I guess I can thank them for that…. you’re welcome seems to be a long way from the truth…
I highly recommend that everyone read the book “They Fired The First Shot – 2012”. It not only helps us know who our enemy is and what he/they are up to, but it gives the answers for how to defeat them and save our country.
I am 73 and concerned about the medical care we will be receiving from OBama care. Also, first of all I am’ worried about the moral of our country!! I don’t think people realize America was founded on freedom of religion and God. God will protect the USA if we keep Him in our land and we have taken Him out of our schools, we cannot even say Jesus, celebrate Christmas and the meaning of Christmas. If you know your Bible, all the above is prophecy coming as the Bible stated and on time. Just make sure you are saved and believe the only way to Heaven is Jesus Christ. God Bless America and lets put God back in our country!!!
Please, we are so doomed if you cannot encourage people to research the facts. It is not on TV. But the facts are so very available in so very many resources. It is not for me to put all of this on your shoulders, but, I truly sense, you do know what is coming down the tube.
I’m concerned that the US Government is headed for bankruptcy and will drag ua all but the rich down. My wife is not concerned at all and stops me from purchasing any supplies. We are probably the worst shape of any of our neighbors or the neighborhood. I apprediate all the information you share though. Thanik you
Hello Frank!
I have made some changes to my “routine living”, but am concerned about my “vocation”.
I haul gas and diesel for a living, and worry a bit that when the “defecation hits the fan”, I`ll be a rolling target for those who would relieve me of my cargo prematurely.
I have been watching some shows on things like Edgar Cayce`s visions, and things of similar ideas.
Being a christian who relies on the Lord is my main anchor, but it is more than coincidence that things are coming out in press that the world , (and especially the U.S.) is in dire straits. I guess that we will just have to cross those bridges when we get to them.
Take care, and thanks for the help.
Steve……………….
I am concerned about continuation of my social security checks and also about how to cope with the persecution of Christians and the liberals bad influence in our schools.
The more Christianity was a part of our culture the safer it was . Push Christ out of our culture and the more you get of what we got / the more unsafe we are .
Schools that teach you all you need to know without regard to the God who made us will raise generations of people dangerous to all , even themselves .
To effect change you need truth at every level of education . Not a fraternity of educated ones joined together in agreement to propagate the same boloney .
Have seen lots of good info as well as much “so-so” stuff. My problem is that as an 81 yo retiree, w/limited funds, supporting a divorced child and grandson and 84 yo wife, there is very little left to
purchase the equipment needed for protection and survival.
What I see as a definite need is VERY CLEAR, STRAIGHT FORWARD instructions for putting together solar units, for water well (for pump motor) and even for removing house from the elec grid.
Perhaps some local seminars by people who can breakdown the info and present it in easy to understand terminolgy.
Enjoying the information and occasionally sharing my information as well. Doesn’t do any good to get mad, we just need to get prepared.
RT Thanks …Your info was great…I also have the Global LF Series 3000 watt invertor from aims with charger and voltage controler and 4.. 60 watt panels and 4 new 800 amp crank batteries…My problem is the batteries will only last overnight running a 75 watt light… I guess I need more batteries… Anyway thanks for your help…Fred
Dear Mr. Bates
How close are we to a national Sunday law.
My concerns are multiple, I’ve been hollering about the EMP problem for years. I read the Congressional reports years ago. Its a serious danger, be it from natural causes, China/Russia, or a terrorist nation like Iran/North Korea. This kind of dangerous situation is the kind to take us back to the 1800s and leave us there for decades to come. The last lines of the reports are “its not a case of “if”, it is a case of “when”.
However, my biggest concern at this time is economic collapse caused by those fools in Washington, mostly the one fool in the former White House. You can’t spend and spend and spend without raising your income or lowering your expenses. Raising income by taxing when you are at the level of economic flux we are in is stupid, passing out entitlements is nuts, raising taxes on those that run businesses is idiotic. Foreign aid is the most retarded thing I have ever heard, especially when the bastards we are giving it to hate our guts. Sooner or later its gonna bite us square on the arse. Whether it starts in the US or overseas, the economy is gonna collapse sooner or later. I’m wondering who is pulling Obama’s chain?
I’m not ancient, but certainly way past being “spring chicken” anymore. I live on a mountain top, in a fairly affluent “bedroom”community. The city below us is not huge, but that city is on a straight line shot from 3 major metro areas, combined population is multimillions. While this mountain has surprisingly good tactical advantages in that the access to our residential areas is limited to only 4 significantly steep roads up, and 3 of those can easily be blocked or easily defended. The 2-300 foot shear rock faces around us are not going to be climbed by many bad guys that want an easy and quick meal. The other road comes in from “the country” and is not an easy road to travel, either. We have a natural water source on the mountain, and while it would be stretched to handle those that live here, it would be better than nothing. Rainfall is sufficient to be a good source of water. I plan to remain in place. My preps are significant, but won’t last more than a year or so without growing my own food. There are a surprising number of preppers in the areas, also. If we had some decent leadership, this mountain top could easily be a serious fortress. However, my question to you is, how do we get the leadership of the mountain to plan the kind of response we would need without them thinking us to be total whacko nutcases?

I enjoy your articles. I don’t have a request subject at this time. Just busy with honey doo’s and some remodeling projects.
I am frustrated, as are most of the other inputters, with our elected representatives lack of resolve to enforce our Constitution. Their lack of “tough love” to keep what America once stood for is terrible and embarrasing for the everyday worker and tax payers. There is no application of logic with our benevolence. Most unemployed people receiving various forms of monetary assistance could be put to work. Handicapped individuals often are capable of being productive: Criminal illegal immigrants should be returned to their home of record or birth immediatly after iris and finger pritning with very stiff penalty for any illegal return.
There are thousands of foreigners wanting to visit the U.S. Our system of promoting these visitors is shameful. The passport process and lack of personel & offices in other countries is the reason. Our reps/.government could put hundreds of unemployed U.S. citizen into the high request countries/cities with very little training. The fees for the passports would cover the employee costs. Our airlines, visitor centers, hotels and wonderful scenic and recreation area’s would respond to to the opporrtunity and potentially help with the passport issuing process expenses..The potential income to our country is staggering.
Another disgrace is our education process. Some of our schools have very good teaching techniques. Most don’t use the latest and known best methods. Our Federal Education Dept. overseer has not implemented quidlines to maximize the learning process of our students
If and when a student drops behind in any class, they should be moved to a different teacher better equipped(trained/specialty) to implement that students better(best) learning capability. With several layers of specialty teachers our nation would end up with a graduate recognizing and using their born potentialj. This process would require a large increase in the number of teachers. This adds employment and the resultant increase in employee income tax revenue into our State and Federal budgets. School hours and electives need to be increased to bring out the potentials and talents of our students.
So none of this is quite what you wanted in your input offer, but you did ask for our frustrations or wants. Cheers- BG.
Thanks for the opportunity and your articles. BG
Thank you, Mr. Bates, for doing the stuff you do. I am not sure what you folks are thinkin’, but as a Retired Soldier of the United States Army Infantry, I regretfully hold Barack Hussein Obama in contempt of the Citizens of the United States of America. His multiple perjuries, his multiple acts of treason, his multiple acts of theft, not to mention his obvious psychosis, manifesting itself in delusions of grandeur, leads me to conclude the ******* is a raving insane boy in a man’s body! His leadership ability is lacking, since he is thinkin’ he’s a king, or some **** thing to that effect! He needs to be reminded–This is the United States of America–the only Kings here are those with that time honored last name, such as the Honorable Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr, who had to sacrifice his life for the cause of justice for all humankind, regardless of color, gender, or anything else. I wish the Honorable Mr. Herman Cain could have been our President, if Obama and his *******s hadn’t assassinated Mr. Cain’s character unjustly. I would love to fix Obama’s red wagon, but I can’t. The United States Code doesn’t allow me–or any other American in his or her wise mind to do so.
My big concern is EMPS. I am prepping for an EMP attack. I have tried joining some of these prepper sights but there is no one in my area and I don’t know if I really want to let others know just how much I have. What do you suggest? I am preparing for my husband, myself, our two sons thier wives and four grandkids.
Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pamela
INTERESTED IN SALL WIND GENERATORS FOR 5TH/WHEEL RV. GOT ANY INFO ???TONY J.
Well, i do see the beginning of our economic collaspe. With that will come hyper inflation along with some food shortages. What will follow? Who knows, I do know I wanna be completely off the grid when it happens. As to Mary, The Harbinger in not fiction. Its based on Old Testament, the judgement of God on his people. And yes, we also are currently under judgement. Get the DVD, the Isahia 9:10 Judgement.
I keep hearing about food shortage that is to come; what is the cause for this to happen. Is this due to a sudden climatic change or do to a flood, famine, or war? Could you tell me what i anticipated or is it any of the above?
Thanks

I like getting all the helpfull things to be more self sustained. Problem is, I was laid off work in May this year. Due to my back injury, no one will hire me anywhere. Im stuck doing little jobs here and there to provide income. I was planing on using solar cells to provide power, was going to get a large 7500 gallon stainless steel tank to put in the ground for water. But with the loss of my job, everything was put on the backburner. Im a custom welder by trade. If anyone out there you might know need something built, no matter what it is. Give them my email, its. [email protected] . Im in north Texas, Ft. worth area.
Thank you
Everyone on your list should first know why the trouble is here and what is coming next.
Invest in a few bucks and get John P McTernan’s book, “As America has done…” and you will get more comparative facts than the majority of people have even considered.
Granted, it first seems like a “little possibility” until you read the dates of the tragedies we’ve had that are increasing ALL the time.
Another interesting book is “The Harbinger” written as fiction, but relates to 9-11, not as a rambling conspiracy, but again with many facts people simply have not heard and do not know.
Preparation comes in many ways, but so does protection and/or the lack of it.
Sincerely,
Mary
Frank, What concernes me and what I am mad about is the greedy deceving SOB’s we send to DC. They tell us one thing to get there tthen do what they can for themselves not the people. What scares me…..NOTHING. I got off the grid in 1998 …….solor,water,and wind with genrater back up.
Fred Chantler: I bought solar panels on Ebay from seller Fred480V. They are American made and one panel puts out 12 volts @ 16 amps. I have 2 panels in parallel charging a bank of golf cart batteries (4-420 Ah) and the charge controllers are on Ebay, got mine from Coleman Air in Texas, 12 volt 40 amp. got it from seller greenenv for about $55. You can find all the cables & connectors on Ebay. I built a battery box for batteries (remember batteries are the heart of this setup) 2′ x 2′ x 6′ where the charge controller goes to one end away from the batteries. Plan on venting the gasses from your battery containment with a vent on top as hydrogen rises, I use a computer cooling fan on timer for venting. The inverter is available on Ebay in endless styles. I bought the AIMS 3000 watt unit 4500 watt surge in a PURE SINE WAVE type. Buy only the P S W inverter as the square wave inverters cause motors to run at a higher temp, several devices do not like square wave inverters. The one I got was buy it now on ebay for $699 and it is right for any use in my home. Read all the fine print in the auctions and avoid CHINA made electronics. Purchase your equipment quickly or it may not be available in near future. Take care of details as you need but equipment needs to be on hand ASAP. OH yes, I worked for the electric compny for 44 years so I do know a little :) Take care my friends
Gordon just a couple of comments from someone nolonger near a desert but who did a great deal in US desert area beofre: swamp cookers work by evaporation which mean you need water. Air Conditioning removes water from air which if really dry is not good option. If you look at persian and other middle eastern and nortern african traditional dwellings which are underground for a great deal they have a system which pulls cool winds through the dwellings and some simple materials for buildings. One I really like personally involves building a house out of clay and putting a pot of salt inside and then building a fire inside the sealed off dwelling which bakes the house into a one tile building with salt glazed walls on the inside. Bought the book in the US about 15 years ago. Check the net.
I would not plan on having petrochemicals or fossil fuels available unless you have your own oil well with you.
1. What concerns me? The past tense fall of the morals, values, and ethics that once bound our people together and were the strength of this nation.
2. What scares me? Controlled fear is healthy. I fear nothing that would take my eye off the ball.
3. What’s got me fighting mad? I never loose sight of the “Big Picture” and I never get fighting mad less I render myself incapable of reaching the goal I have before me. Again! It is control, determination, and fearless in the face of harm or death.
I have not entertained your materials on solar, survival, nukes and terrorists since I was out-of-state since on a family emergency from Sept. 2nd to Nov. 27th. So! I cannot comment on the value of your recent materials.
Your salutation, “To your freedom” (should have been all caps), this day and age, has been rendered as a mute sarcasm. Our freedom is protected by the U.S. Constitution; the Constitution is no longer the binding document of this nation’s leaders or, it is now vividly clear, most of it’s citizens and non-citizen vacuum tubes. The United States has become a Marxist society, immersed in a vat of altruism and narcissism.
Respectfully,
Jim
Hi Frank – going off-grid requires provisions for shelter, extended food/water for survival circumstances, heating, cooling (depending on location), water, sanitation, and ideally, Internet connectivity.
For me – desert is the likely off-grid location. That gives me solar, and depending on location (I’m thinking Mojave) might be reasonably good wind potential as well. The area I am considering has plenty of water but it’s about 200 ft down. Options for economically drilling a deep well and casing it, and low cost (energy wise) ways of getting water up that steep hill are of interest. Given the climate – swamp cooler and reasonably insulated shelter would work fairly well. Construction plans for swamp coolers might be interesting. One concern is heat – wood is not available – and electrical heat is expensive ‘energy wise’. I’m thinking a large fuel oil heating tank and a relatively modest furnace (it still gets cold in the winter, lots of 30-40 degree nights even in the Mojave – dropping slightly below freezing at times – even snows about once or twice a decade).The fuel oil could also feed a back-up deisel generator – and possibly a 4×4 pickup.
Internet – assuming cell is not practical, is one of the major complications. I have worked with cellular data – it’s usable but not much fun and one cannot assume 3G is going to be an option.
The freaks in Washington DC turning US into a police state. I viewed the tape by Thomas Schuman (ex KGB agent) who escaped to US thru India and moved to Canada to give lectures on how the US is being subverted. I have the document which came with the tape and I will donate it. The document shows the movement from open society to closed society. The process is almost complete. Mad @ society across the board, seems a ball game is more important than life itself! People are not waking up!
I am glad you asked I wonder how crazy a government can be with unlimited spending 3 wars we got into and why? Now they print money which will devalue the dollar and there is nothing to back it up with.That’s just one of many worries we all should have.
Frank, thanks for all the information please don’t stop I read it all. My biggest concer in the dollar decline and the bubble that will burst. I have collected some silver coins to have some trading power when it does. Gold is too pricey. I’d like to have some GMO seeds too.
Thanks
Andy
How can farmers get off GMO SEEDS?
Hi Frank – All your postings and videos are excellent and looking forward to reading more. Could you provide information on communications during a black out – short-wave vs. amateur radio.
Did you know the muslim brotherhood has a ten year plan to make any negative free speech against the Muslim religion hate crime rep banner over a radio interview stated that Hillary Clinton wrote a resolution for the U.N. Supporting this view of free speech a hate crime and i congress votes on this treaty Christians who minister are subject to be put in prison over religious views as hate speech this president is backs the view of the Muslim brotherhood within six days he had all the F.B.I. sors and taking all reference to anything about Muslims being mentioned in any of the F.B.I. Training manuals. Rep. Banner was right the American people need to wake up soon o r it will be game ver for freedom of religion. It only makes sense for a government who supports acid and lies to it’s people would welcome this.
Concerns: Survival …responsible for entire family and I am disabled and on SS. Our home of 45 years burned down last year and I used to feed 5 families with what I grew, restored musical instruments for free for those who cannot afford to rent etc.. Now, I have no way to make an income and I must do all myself including taking full care of my 89 year old mother with Alzheimer disease. Grow our food and pay expenses which are minimal since I do as much growing of our food as possible, and only buy what is needed. If any SS payment or Medicare is decreased or my minimal taxes increased…I do not know what to do. All of my tools burned and so did 100 instruments and all of my supplies gathered over 25 years…so I cannot do restoration until and if I can find the tools again…and parts are so expensive…I had lots.
We are in Texas…so water is a concern. I had to move to another county after the fire…and there is a lake nearby, but its level is decreasing daily….forest fires are happening… I need additional information on simple solar to take care of all power needs…small ones that I can install myself and maintain…as I have no help and cannot afford to hire help. Need simple ways to put food by, increase yields etc. Life without money and help of the usual sort….hired that is…
The one thing that pisses me off is the HUGE theft we have allowed since 1947. Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, known as cafr’s. Go to http://cafr1.com/ READ and watch the videos, then call Walter with any questions you may have, his number is at the site and he is most accessible and will answer any question you may have. That and Keshe Foundation of course, not one word from ‘our’ government. Time for US to get the ball and run with it, gov’t will just sit on it forever. Too much greed, corruption and control in this society. Until those in power are removed and arrested nothing will change for the good, problem is the people are all brain dead or too lazy to get off the couch, I do not have a good feeling about where we as a species is headed. We are little more than farm animals to those in control and we do absolutely nothing about this insane situation but bitch. May as well just be a bunch of sheep,bahhhhh…
Frank….when you talked about the solar panels you don’t say much about how to set up and use them,,or the battery banks needed…I didn’t care that much for the vidio…also I never got a price of the panels when I asked…sorry…also how much power does the panel generate to charge the batteries….thanks …looking foreward for your comments…thanks fred…
Hi Frank,
I DO appreciate all the information you supply – excellent!
One area I am really concerned about is Water; would like info on Solar Powered Pumps (especially small, portable units) and purification Filters for same.
Please keep up the great work.
Thank you,
William Batchelor
To tell you the truth, every article that you guy’s cover are of great interest to me thats is why I allways look forward to the one. Knowing that you will write somathing of interest for all your crazy followers. Keep up the beautiful work.
thank you
Greg
There appears that there is some very serious fallout due to the earthquake in Japan that destroyed its nuclear reactor. Yet, there is nothing in the news about this. Evidently Japan is dumping tons of waste into the Pacific Ocean. There is also the exposure to the USA’s and Canada’s West coasts as a result of trade winds, but nothing much is being said. Do I smell government complicity and a cover-up? Please let your readers know what you know about this situation. Thank you.
I would like to know why I paid for 50 years into Social Security so that i would have a retirement and now the government is calling it an entitlement and I could lose it. What happen to all the money that I paid and my employer paid on my behalf? Senior Citizens are really concerned about this plus if we have 401K which was provided by our employment we stand to loose them now to or be taxed on what little we make from them. How are Seriors to survive if everything we worked all our lives for is now taken away and just plain GONE!
Hello, Mr. Bates,
I am 39 with a wife & 10 year little girl. I follow everything you post. I have multiple sclerosis, & have been forced to take disability(450$/month). Had to because of high insurance cost. I am limited as to what physical labor I can accomplish. Do you have any recommendation or advice, as to how to go about moving in a self sufficient manor? I can get some help from friends, but goodwill goes only so far. I can’t really pay them on my present pittance of an income. Looking for anything to help me push forward. I also, wanted to thank you for all you do with your articles and blog. Long live our faux freedom.
I’m an old guy in a wheelchair, so my options are limited. I’ll be trying to survive in-place, if a severe crises occures. I live in a deteriorating suburb and have a food and water storage locker(four 55 gal. poly drums), as well as security cameras, alarms, guns & ammo. I am hardening my home against intrusion, but realize the batteries have to be maintained after the power goes off. I am also concerned about my perimeter, as city codes do not allow for front fences. Like most folks, our income is not only limited, it doesn’t go as far as it used to. I will be acquiring some solar (not enough) and a generator (limited by fuel supply), limited by what we can afford. I still have a bug out bag, but feel it should be an enclosed trailer. I have relatives that live in the country, but getting there might be more dangerous, than digging in.Your articles are informative. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thank you for educating all of us who are interested in what to do re crisis scenerio.
My issues would be considered imperitive to solve if impossible to “bug out”, which would likely be the circumstance, at least short term for both city and rural folks.
Living in a country environment one realizes the cities will empty and most will go to small, better prepared towns. Any hints on how, in a nonthreatening manner, to organize others encouraging teamwork and trust? Best ways to create protective barriers against desperate, possibly violent others when guns are scarce? Where and how could small groups protect small towns, again when guns are not abundant? What kind of alarm system and/or trap systems could be set in rural conditions? Roads are the obvious but there are many various points of entry to every town. What would be a safe system of stopping ingress? How can we be sure, if we DO bolt, it is safe to return? How could information be trusted? Is there a network, perhaps off the grid, whereby we can approach now vs after a crisis, to better build trust? Some way to safely communicate?
These questions may seem ridiculous due to the inherent secrecy involved in successful prepping however there may be some simple possibilities you could put forward. Thank you and will be checking back….
I have more survival skills than I can count, but I am fully prepared to hunker in place in spite of the fact it is the south side of Chicago since I am now a senior and disabled and alone. I can still drive but it wouldn’t take much to take out all the road access/exits, since most of them are “fly-overs” ie built up and over other roads that are built up and over. Surface travel would be impossible, as we are at gridlock most of the time now, even at non-rush hour.
What you have presented so far is excellent. What I want to see is something useful and positive for us old farts instead of the usual “oh. Well you have to be fit to Get out of Dodge”
Hi Frank. I’m concerned about our country’s economy. I’m very interested in getting my house to a point where we could live off the grid using wind, solar and geothermal. I’m interested in sustainable subsistance living for my wife and myself. i’m also interested in home security and defense.
Frank, my worst fear is obviously a nuclear war that will change the world as we know it, if we survive it. The destruction of water and food sources would be a definite reality. But I don’t want to live in a world of constant fear of disaster, the stress of that is too much to handle. So, in keeping a good balance of living our lives to the fullest and being self-sufficient is an attainable reality and what I am focussing on. I recently purchased a 1 acre parcel of land with a small house in Denmark and plan to re-build the house to become independant of the expensive government and city services. Property tax and internet service, food and heating fuel (wood pellets), might be the only costs I will incur. I already have a certified water well but still need to build solar and wind systems. I will be a happy person once I am not dependant on city services. I am also intending to grow all my own vegetables, raise egg laying hens and whatnot.
On another subject that you mentioned, a home invasion is a fear I have that is very real. I have friends who have had this happen to them. These criminals are deperate people who will stop at nothing to get what they want. I am looking at serveillance cameras, security lights and having a guard dog, and of course a defensive weapon close by.
thank you for all your insight in finding ways to adapt to our ever changing world.
i have e/m yall aready with no reply video i purchased
Frank…You ask about what “scares me the worst?” For me it’s the covert “chem trailing” going on in our skys….
People are getting sick from it, and those creepy people in charge won’t say a word about WHY they are doing it…
A Swedish politician “Pernilla Hagburg” has spoke out and has spoke out and admitted the Swedish gov. has allowed US Army Jets over Sweden to spray…
They are burying us in this chemical crap up here in the Okanagan Valley, in B.C. Cananda as well… There is a site on “facebook groups – gsac” to support this person…
It will “go viral” and expose this world-wide poisoning of our planet…
The chemicals being sprayed are Strongtium, Barium, and Niobate… Notice how the pavement “bubbles” like somebody dropped some laundry soap when it rains? That is Strontium.
It changes chemical properties when it hits water…
Anyway, there is NOWHERE to run…or nowhere to hide… What these freaks are doing is everywhere…No amount of preparation is going to protect us from this horrible deal…
So Frank…That’s what’s stressing me…Linda.
I would like to know how we can get rid of this trader in the Whitehouse. He has violated the consitution many times. I have gotten letters from 2organizations outlining why he should be impeached. He runs around the world laughing because he knows he’s taken control of a ship of fools and maybe has stolden the election. In his book by his own admission he spent the last 2 years of high school totally wiped out on hard drugs; now, how do you think he got into college. Rev. Wright knows. Why is everyone being silenced?
I do not like videos, would much rather read what you have to say as it is easier to sink in.
Frank: I am in the process of designing and building Styrofoam geodesic domes for winter gardening. I want to boost the temperature inside as much as I can to enable the growth of more vegetables. Solar is good, but how? Geothermal has great potential – any ideas?
Bill (Wicle Enterprises)
Frank I am just trying to gain some incite for what I think is an impending situation and its just a matter of time before our way of life will change for the worse. I am a country boy at heart and live it most every day in some way. I hunt and fish and do all the things most only dream of and its not hard to do. I am not the smartest fish in the sea but I might need a little help. Thank you for items you have provided me. Thank You again.

In 1987 as a member of The Greens’ of Ventura County Ca myself and 18 other Greens stopped a residential Dump in Ojai Ca. Today we are loosing our Freedoms and NO body seems to be leading the fight to reverse it. A lot of little fronts, but nothing organized to and most attitude’s are similar to the Holocaust Victims. Our media is owned by the Agenda 21 folks.
Frank, how about some more info on water storage options for urban areas. Tank sizes, purification techniques, rotation cycles for your stored supply. Any systems out there for those that will most likely “shelter in place”?
thanks for all the info to date, keep up the good work and have a joyous holiday season.
I had neglected to mention that FairTax is already being submitted to the Ways & Means committee in the House (HR-30)…it is also, already poised in the Senate (S-13). It calls for repeal of the 16th Amendment (which empower(s)ed the IRS, and its anti-Constitutional methods of breach of privacy; & guilty until proven innocent). Bottom line: It’s your money!
Would love to hear more about water purification and which products work best for which types of contamination as well as best resources for the products.
Would also like advice regarding safest way of connecting solar generator or solar panels to one’s home. Assume using qualified electrician would be safest. Also, instead of installing panels on roof of home, can panels be in frames resting on the ground (as is seen in pictures of great numbers of panels used for commercial purposes)? That would make cleaning them a lot easier. What are pros and cons of installation on ground versus roof?
Any information you provide will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Janet Neubaum
My main concern is about the economy & freedom (they are tied together). There is a proven method to making huge gains in both arenas…FairTax! What do most people not understand about FairTax? The fact that 1) The broader base provided by a national sales tax provides much more revenue to the Fed govt, with a lot less bureaucratic waste, red-tape & expense: Many states already have a state sales tax, so the mechanism is already in place there…notice that most do not have budget problems rushing towards bankruptcy. 2) There is in the proposed legislation, a prebate based on the poverty level, giving every American household a monthly stipend of over $220 per head/household, Plus another exact amount given to the spouse of that household; Plus another $over 75 per dependent child living within that household…this is money to recoup the expenses for necessities, which goes right back into the economy via savings, purchases, charities or investments. 3) There is currently an average of 22% of hidden taxes already assessed against what we purchase, that vanishes with FairTax, replaced by 23% sales tax…this actually amounts to an additional savings of about $40 per thousand spent per month. 4) Used items are exempt from the sales tax (they have already been taxed once: no double taxation) This includes purchases from Goodwill, & other charities, appliances, cars & houses: a huge savings to those of modest income/wealth. 5) All the savings would also go to further purchases, savings, charities &/or investments; 6) IRS is actually a mechanism for debtors’ prison…you don’t pay what you ‘owe’, guess where you go? 7) What you buy determines what tax you pay, which means you have control over your ‘contribution’ to the Govt. 8) With all that money going into circulation, means a more favorable climate for business to start-up, grow & expand, thus creating a larger, more favorable employment situation (likely to bring foreign companies in to gain market share, that would include American companies that have already emigrated). There may be a number of questions about FairTax…they can be answered on line, or better, via local monthly meetings in or near most cities & towns.
Would like more info on solar supply and charging systems, for short wave radios, cells, lights etc.
So lets assume we have the world’s best bug out bag ready, and are out the door in 5 mins. Just where are we supposed to go? I don’t own another house, or even piece of ground in any other location away form my home. If you trespass you will likely get shot. So once you are on the road, where do you go?
How to protect my family in the event of a break-in to my house.
Thank you Frank
I thought it was a great service you did and I thank you for it. Even an old fart like me learned somethng I can use!
Blessings to you all!
Although I read some on self-defense, I am most interested in the primitive survival articles you’ve sent. Anything that allows me to go into the woods with shorts, a t-shirt, and a pocketknife, and survive is what I want to read about. Thanks!
Fighting mad only comes up w/me when children or innocent helpless people are harmed. It’s the the thoughtless, thankless, selfish attitude of most so called Americans that is constantly irritating to me. In the Christian realm God has no grandchildren + so it is w/ true dedicated patriotism. Most newly sworn citizens have it where, born + bred here “Americans” don’t…Why? What do parents teach their children + who? It goes back to the above. It’s not an us against “them” situation really.It’s a self induced “infection” passed on to the next generation by “WE the PEOPLE”. The “them” just assumed the position “WE” don’t really care-enough- so they have to… Unfortunately “ETERNAL VIGILANCE ” is the duty of all Americans; not just when they wake up! Perhaps too late…Just drive down the U.S. roads any day + see the selfish ignorance first hand!? Godliness isn’t just a virtue but A LEARNED + EMULATED LIFESTYLE missing in today’s U.S. society. There is NO substitute. IT respects marriage[real], motherhood, family[normal], womanhood[not toyhood], property rights, rule of laws[not men]. GOD]principles]+COUNTRY[pd.in blood History]; AKA moral decency! “WE” gave our country away + only “WE” can bring[not take] it back; but only w’Gods help, as it was from the beginning.
I appriciate what you are doing. My focus for the future ahead is to get ready for when there is no electricity for a long period of time. so water and the sorage of food is my focus. thanks again
What bothers me is looking at the countries in Europe that are on the verge of collapse and see how the people are responding. Rioting, looting, killing. Some of it is legit. to get horrible leaders out of power, However some of it is just because of their economies, and lack of jobs.
I worry that without a complete turn around in policy and goals. This great country will end up the same.
My biggest concern is the money I have in investments. Not being able to get it out, because the goverment has shut down the bank withdrawals.
To start taking some of it now to stash away some place for fast access is kinda retirement suicide.
What happens to the banking and financial system during time of crisis and what are the signs that would tell a person, “get your money out now”. Before the crash, not the usual ups and downs of the market, I’m ok with that. Losing everything because of a goverment melt down would really piss me off. It has already happened in other countries. ,
I am prepared in alot of the ways, I have an extensive ranch with food supply, water, solar, wind power and lot of the things you and others have suggested. What happens to the banking system? Are we just at the mercy of the Federal Reserve policies.
Frank, Dale is right; cut the longgggg promos. Please devote some time to Michigan/unions and inspire the folks who live there to support Gov. Snyder. He has and is doing a lot for the state. My greatest concern is surveillance by our own government and destroying our Constitution – our freedom of choice and Christianity while protecting the “rights” of all others. You bet we support the right to work. Unions have destroyed MI.
Hi,
I’d like to know more about new techology to store solar energy instead of the costly, and higher maintenance battery backup system – such as what Daniel G. Nocera is working on at MIT (splitting water into components…) Is this really fesible and will it become affordable for homeowners.
Also, new wind turbine technology that generates more power such at the verticle axis Eddy wind turbine – Nick Blitterswyk, Urban Green Energy – that uses wind from any direction.
Information on how to get a home (affordably & efficiently) completely off the grid for power, water, food, everything…
Thanks,
Stephaine
I am confused – I keep hearing about the impending doom of a “fiscal cliff, the end of the world as we know it, that the economy is improving (but I just paid $4 for a loaf of bread and gas is just under $4 a gallon ), there are more “infomercials” on the internet about how to protect your home/feed your family/keep your appliances running when the electric/gas companies shut down/what weapon is best suited to protect you, your family and your homestead, etc. – I’m sure that there are truths in some of what we are being “fed” but is most of it just “hype”?
Frank, I am really appreciative of the resources you offer, but I must say, forcing me to watch such lengthy promo’s first, is costing you. I haven’t the time or patience to wait thru.. I know in the first 2 or 3 minutes whether I’m interested, and your tactic of repeating the the message so many times, saying the same thing in so many ways, makes me walk away. I would glady click a button (maybe label it “I’m convinced”) that lets me skip to the last 60 seconds of the promo and get to the “add to cart” button right away.
Hi Frank! What truly makes me mad is how the general public are so dumbed down to the facts of what global tyranny is that when a person like myself tries to wake them up-they’re ready to KILL me for trying to warn them! If you could possibly plug the infowars.com prisonplanet.com and planetinfowars.com websites in your blog, that would be awesome! Keep up the good work and the fight against the NWO! Thank you!
I would like to know more about the options of digging in some kind of storm shelter. With all the Earth changes and global warming, things are going to get rough and at some point you’ll need to be underground as your house may collapse.
Frank,
I would like to know more about these “dissident camps” I keep hearing are being built across the country to put the non-conforming they round up into. Is there truth in this?
I think we’re living in an idiocracy!
I would like to hear about you doing an episode on the TV show “Doomsday Preppers.”
But seriously, not everyone who wants to use alternative energy is planning for the end of times. My calendar is not based on the Mayan calendar. I survived Y2K, so I think I will survive the Mayans and the idiots in DC.
I like solar, wind, and other sources of energy for economic and environmental reasons. I find your articles very informative, but I can’t help but think you have a bunker somewhere stored with years of food stuffs protected by boobytraps. Nothing really wrong with that, but I would like to hear more about common sense stuff all of us can do. Your bug out bag was a good idea. I bet some Sandy victims wish they had one. Info about what household appliances consume the most energy, passive solar benefits, cost of solar per kwh today vs 5-10 years ago, … and stuff like that would be helpful.
Hi Frank
Thanx for the blog…informative.
What bugs me is ..how we as a nation, have let congress and the senate turn itself into a group of eletists that have created laws and rules and situations that have put themselves into their own group of people that have made them untouchable and privaliged beyond belief. AND to top it off..they are ruining our country.. just so they can get what they want..and not do what is best for the country.
I’d like to have you cover emergency shelters and living off the land
Hi Frank,
I want to do more. What do you think about having a satellite operation here in Central Maine?
Let me know what I can do to make this possible and help make this possible.
I would like to be local access point to help people prepare for survival if something unfortunate comes our way.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience.

After election campaigning by the President on his Robin Hood tax plan. It may sound good to the poor but poor people do not pay taxes or have the ability to build companies that employ people. I am one of America’s poor at least according to the government and I think it time to cut over spending and the blame game. The president spends like my 19 year old with policies that have no long term benefits and very little short term affect.
Hey Frank, let’s talk about WATER! The world’s water, it was here before us… We need it to survive and it’s been polluted beyond safe consumption. We must filter all water received via piping. You know it’s more than oil. The grab for oil was a grap for wealth and big business, the gaurantee for power. Water adds the power to absolute control. Deals cut behind closed doors… criss crossing waters until the increase in new desert regions travelled through the corridors of Fair Trade, manifest. We gotta talk about it because we need water to survive.
Civically we must all stay active educating ourselves about water. Responding to the knowledge we gain, engaging in some kind of action. MULTIPURE provides two opportunities: The power to gain good quality healthful water for yourselves, friends and family; and the power to establish continuity in your financial stability by becoming an Independent Distributor of what everyone needs.
Thanks for the demonstration on how to PURIFY Any Water, it was awesome!
Well Frank,
I’m concerned about many things. I worry about the gov’t confiscating gold like FDR did in the ’30s if I diversify that way. I worry about protecting the garden I grow from looters. I worry about supplying power to the well pump if the grid goes down, even though I’ve purchased many different plans for alternative energy sources. I worry about catastrophic crisis that would inhibit all the people close to me in making it to the “safe zone”. I just can’t seem to get them to take this seriously enough to prepare enough to have a plan.
But, most of all I worry about being able to get home if the system collapses into chaos. I can prepare with all the necessary plans, but won’t be able to do anything to help if I can’t get home. I’m in Afghanistan, and that entails a lot of coordinated travel.
Frank,
I don’t have the $ to put in one of those under ground shelters. Would like some ideas on beefing up/ making my cellar a better shelter, I know it still would not be as good as an under ground shelter,but you have to go with what you have.

I worry about the moral deterioration of our people. Are there enough honest people in our government who care enough about the country to really try to fix it? Or are our leaders only interested in themselves and being re elected. Our president strikes me as the latter. I also worry about the “dumbing down ” of our educational system and our falling academic scores related to other countries.
What worries me the most is the explosion of citizens looking to the government for help. I know that the economy is bad but there are jobs for those who are willing to work. The country as a whole needs to cowboy up and try. Don’t just give up it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked on your keaster as long as you still get up again and try to help yourself. Whit all of the depressing news from the media you would think that the sky was falling. The sky is not falling!!
So get up and fight for yourself and those around you.
I like learning about the clean water ideas. I also continue to want to lean about being self-sufficient. I hate the idea of depending on our “government” or associated agencies. I believe they will lead us down the road to. . .
I did buy your books on power and started reading. It seems a little complicated but will learn as I go!
thanks for your help!
to our survival so I can preach the gospel!

What scares me the most, is that the conservative Republicans are trying to create a slave state.
\That laws will be enacted to keep the populous in minion status. Living only to serve the Wealthy overlords. To remove the freedoms we’ve fought so hard to attain.
I find all your information very interesting and wish I could implement some of the suggestions. However, I am in mid 70s, somewhat deteriorated and only have SS income, I did buy the Power For Patriots info even though I rent and can’t make alterations to the house nor have the funds to do so. I also have no garden area (rats). And, since I can’t afford a gun, I’m getting the wasp spray. Sadly, I don’t have anyplace to bug out to so I’ll just have to hunker down. I started my bug-out bag (it has wheels) just in case the authorities say we have to get out of town. I’ll be looking to see if you have any suggestions for people in my situation.
Blessings on you for your good work.
Georgia Mae
Hi Frank,
What scares me is that our currency will become worthless. I’m retired and living on a fixed income so I can’t stock up on gold or silver or much of anything else. I’m trying to do what prepping I can, but its not much. Luckily, I live in a small community out in the desert where I won’t need to bug out.
What makes me mad is the attack on the 2nd Amendment and the insanity going on in DC. I just don’t see a cure for that and it seems this country is doomed.
Frank,
Keep up the good work.
I am just now starting to implement some of the things you’ve recommended.
We’ve got to get moving on being prepared. Just look at the East coast after Sandy
They keep waiting on a Broke government to help them instead of acting!!!
I’M NEW TO TH BLOGG SO IF I BRING UP A TOPIC THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY ADDRESSED, JUST LET ME KNOW. IS THERE SOMEWAY WE CAN PREPARE OUR VEHICLES SO WE CAN USE THEM AFTER TH EMF EVENT? IS IT A GOOD IDEA TO STORE FUEL & IF SO, HOW MUCH & WHERE. ARE GENERATORS A GOOD IDEA? WOULD PACK ANIMALS BE A FEASIBLE INVESTMENT? ADDRESS MICROWAVE APPLIANCES. WILL OUR RV’s BE OF USE? WHAT WOULD BE TH BEST, QUICKEST WAY TO PROVIDE HEAT?
Concerned about agenda 21. Comments made recently by secretary of agricultural. The current administration willingness in assisting the UN.
I’m a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. I also retired from the state of Florida Office of the Inspector General as a Senior Investigator. I say this just to establish that I am NOT some survivalist that wears a tinfoil hat… However, I am definitely a “prepper.” My B.S. is in math and my Master’s is in financial statistics. Many folks worry that at our current rate of spending that our country will go broke. Folks. WE ARE ALREADY BROKE. We borrow between 46 & 47 cents of every dollar we spend. Much of that is simply digitally “created” with the click of a mouse button. We now owe more than we can ever hope to repay. Our only options at this point are to declare default or to go through the Zimbabwe style hyper-inflation… Both will result in the loss of the US Dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Get ready to live in a Third World country. You won’t even have to move…
Gary
Hi Frank,
Would you have a way to convert a gas car to an alternate energy power source, that would not be to expensive or hard for a person to do.
I noticed in one of your blogs that you heat with wood. So do I, I have a Central Boiler outside heating system. I have a lot of excess heating capacity and would like to know if there is some way I could run a Stirling engine, or waste heat engine with this to generate electricity? I have questioned the central boiler company with no response. I have encountered other central boiler owners that posed the same question.
Calvin,
hmmmm….It seems like you could…maybe use the most of the wind turbine parts. I’ll investigate this.
I am no afraid or worried about any of the worldly things because of my trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. I an interested in the solar and wind energy just to see if it will work for me, in that if may be able to unhook from the grid and corporatation controls.
I’d like to know more about chemtrailing and what effect it is having on our environment as well as our general health
I am not pysically capable to put anything like this together.It wouls be nice if yaw new of someone in mmy area to install this stuf since I bought your whole kit solar aand wind. The electric Co. sure won;t recomend anyone so right now my kit sitting in my ofice doing nothing. Could you possibly find a personn to do this at a reasonable cost otherwise you can sell all the kits in the world and it won;t do any good. Thanks Renny
shelters if the bomb is drop on the u.s.a.
Unfortunatedly, we purchased your products before my husband could be able to explore the options offered. He’s working 40-50 hours/week, and since I am craft and technologically challenged, he has to be the one ‘doing’ the work.
I agree with everybody here. We are all facing an uphill battle against dumbo. We all have stories to to that are heart breaking. We need to band together as Christians and realize that Revelation is coming. If you are Christian, The Lord is coming back soon. All I can say is Proverbs 3:5,6. If you don’t know it my heart look it up. I am facing the same stuff, without a job for 2 and a half years after being laid off. What do we do next is my question.
Since all grid connected solar systems disconnect when the grid is lost, why has no one designed a controller that allows the gird side to disconnect but allow the solar system to still power the house?? This is very do able. As it stand, home solar system are no more then a source for grid or power companys. And this must be my design
You Asked! GETTING OLD! You get put in a box, no not that one, and become a burden to those who are younger! Get ignored, you have years of experience all in your head and then you are still ignored. You see the stupidity of the younger generations and they are doing the same things that you know the outcome of. YET warnings are ignored and reality gets em! NOT an atomic war that will destroy humanity but self indulgence and ignorance. Even you need to wake up and review where and what you are. Your future is not a solar panel but inside your head. FIND IT!
I’m concerned about communications. Can you shed some light on this. It’s a way to find help, it’s also a way to be had.
I have not seen much about long term reliability of solar panels. I have heard that over about a 10 year life the panels degrade in their ability to operate.
Batteries or alternative power storage, once the power is generated commonly used batteries have limited lifespans.
Obama is an arrogant and unyielding man. His actions and policies are detrimental to America’s economy and defense capabilities, and to the constitutional rights of all Americans. What is more disturbing is that roughly 50 percent of Americans voted him a second term. This really scares me. What this will all lead to is anybody’s guess. But in my opinion, it won’t be good. It may be catastrophic.
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.”
What has me the most disappointed is the incredible blindness, self-centeredness
and apathy of the American people as a whole. We think only of ourselves. Me, my four
and no more . . . We don’t see the remake of Nazi Germany happening in our own backyards
and towns – “it won’t happen here, it won’t happen to me” the same thing that all targeted
peoples groups in Gernmany thought. Then they went for the last train ride of their lives.
Wake up America!
It starts with me, with you. One person can change the world. If you are hopeless, you are
a victim and defeated before you even start. With God all things are possible. Faith instead
of fear, hope instead of despair, a will to fight instead of giving in.
Find what is dear to you – then stand up and fight for it. They can shoot one person, but they
can’t shoot all of us.
Hi Frank,
I would like to know more about putting together a bug-out-bag (three to five days), desert survival (winter and summer) and to plan out a location to hold out in case the crap hits the fan.
Thank you,
J. Owens
Hi Dave, I read everything you send out, and I just can”t believe how much info there is out there!
I save everything you send in a special folder for future refrence. Thusly, I am quite satisfied with the info you make available. Its just to bad I live in a city and am a senior citizen. If I lived out in a rural setting, iI would be doing many things I did then in the seventys. Unforfunately, practically all is against the law inside the city limits.
Thank so much for all that I am learning from you!!!
Lenny Rich
Dear Frank,
I would like to ask your opinion on something. Most of the apocalyptic advice being given these days is directed at and applicable to the masses who live in urban environments. However, when tragedy strikes and the throngs begin to flee the over crowded megalopolis’ has anyone really thought about where they are headed for, to do all this survival living stuff?
Some may go Neanderthal and attempt survival in the extreme wilderness and high mountains, but not the masses. They are going to take the path of least resistance.
That means there will be an invading army coming right at me and mine, out here in God’s Country and the wide open spaces, where populations are low and neighbors scattered. The refugees will begin gathering into urban like communes and setting up compounds on the farming fields and ranches that produce 80% of the planets food. Like “squatters” in the old west they will arbitrarily claim plots of land. They will rustle livestock to eat and to raise. They will pollute already stressed waterways and will likely claim by force irrigation wells as their own to survive.
What are your thought on the rights of us poor rural folk who are the true stewards of these lands, produce the food and manage the water or resources we control?
I fear, if and when there is ever a Black Event, it will immediately turn into a shooting civil war between the residents of the “fly-over states” and the panicked and/or predatory “right and left coasters” fleeing their decimated city lives.
Please, share you thoughts and whatever suggestions you are willing to share for all us country mouse cousins!
May God Bless and Save America,
Orrin
Since America is turning to socialism, what is a good plan to live in a communistic society?
Health problems. Left Hospital yesterdaynon-functioning for several weeks
There are far too many things that really upset me to list. My concern is I am a 65 year woman who lost her job as a unit secretary because I had moved to help my Mother who had been diagnosed with dementia. I had been working swing shift for many years, so when I moved I had to strart commuting 175 miles/day for two years. I finally became so completely exhausted from lack of sleep, I couldn^t concentrate at work, I made 3 big mistakes & was fired. That was 3 1/2 years ago. My Mom passed in March this year. In all of this time I have had only one interview. I truly need to get back to work. In order to stay afloat I have gone through my 401k, have sold all my gold jewelry, and anything else gthat is valuable. I am now living on $1257.00/mo. and am filing bankruptcy. I have advertised for housekeeping, caregiving, and all I got were men calling for me to move in with them. My ad started with Christian Woman, so I guess men don^t have a clue what Christian Woman means. Most of my 401k went when I bought my Mom^s mobile home. I moved to Hemet, Ca. from Orange County, Ca. I have to get back to work, so I can do what I need to do to this mobile home ready to sell. I have been looking for a holiday job, but so far I haven^t gotten a single phone call for an interview for a holiday job either. I am very capable of working. How do I get back to work if I can^t even get an interview anywhere?. I will take any advice you have to give. With such a small income, I don^t have money for gas to drive out of town anymore, unless I somehow have a lead on a job. I am in the inland empire, which is extremely repressed for finding jobs. When I lost my job, I had been on my previous for so long, I was making $19.00/hr. If I am going to drive out of town for a job, with the price of gas I need to make at least $15.00/hr. Most of my computer experience is Hospital World, not much home P.C. I have no money to take any kind of classes to retrain myself, & I am single. There is noone I can turn to for help. With Obama back in, I do not see things getting any better. I went to Las Vegas for 4 days and walked the streets campaigning for Mitt Romney. I try very hard not to get discouraged, but right now I am. Christmas is my favorite time of year, I usually fly east for Christmas, to visit my daughter and son-in-law, but this year unless I can pull that proverbial rabbit out of a hat, I will be alone for Christmas. They can”t come here. Please give me some advice. I am in the process of filing bankruptcy now, I truly have not a lot of resources available to me. I don”t know if you ever call anyone, but my unlisted phone # is 9r51-652-3530. Because of my bankruptcy, I screen all of my calls, so my phone will have to tell me call from Blaze TV, or from you. I have a Vista Computer, so there are times when doing things on line is very difficult. I had no idea when I bought this computer that Vista has many, many problems. The whole thing is, if I could get an interview in a hospital as a Unit Secretary, I could sell myself & get a job. The one interview I had, was a position I had no real experience in. They had an applicant who came in that had the experience they needed. HELP. I know if Mitt had gotten the presidency, he would have brought jobs back, stopped outsourcing everything, and gotten people back to work. Obama will not do any of that. Sorry this is so long. I don”t want handouts, although I have had to have some. I simply want to go back to work. I have been working with employment development heere in Hemet, but to no avail. I am hoping to get some funding to take classes to retrain myself. They say if they get any funding at all, it likely will not happen unti July 2013. I truly have no idea what else to do. I make $100.00/mo. too much to get food stamps. I have tried three different times. I was also told if I were Black, or Hispanic, I could get food stamps. I am white and too educated to get food stamps. I won”t start on what I think about that…….

I am getting ready for a major Earthquake in our area – Idaho and the Boise Valley, including Yellowstone Natl Park. I know 2 geologists and the lava rock below us is gaining temp. A road engineer confided to a friend of mine they had spent 4.2 million on the new overpasses and reinforcing the bridges in our area for one reason – to make them earthquake proof. He said they were designed off the ones in San Francisco, but neither have been tested and they only hope they will hold. They don’t know if we will get to celebrate Christmas. In some areas they are watching the geothermo heat hourly by satelite and others daily. My geologist friend told me Yellowstone sits on a volcano and we are one of the major vault lines. I spoke to my insurance man and he said “No one will insure this area as it is the highest ranked Earthquake area in the entire nation”. Whatever you have would be appreciated, I am on limited funds and need ingenuity and sound advice. Kelly
We have the technology to prevent voter fraud and should implement it. Each voting machine should have fingerprint and/or retina scanners. That will prevent a person voting multiple times at numerous polling stations. If the government can compile a National data base on it’s citizens, then it can certainly compile a voter data base which would require proof of citizenship in the form of an official birth certificate from the State. If a person is not in that data base, the voting machine will not record his vote.
I feel we are going down the wrong path. Our kids will have it so much harder than we did. I afriad of the govermment will take our 1 st and2nd amendments away. The govermment will not let us buy land, or keep it if we do buy it Carla
What’s important? 2cnd amendment rights. Unarmed we will all be slaves to the pundits.
Sad part is we will not give them up freely like other nations have done.
I hate the thought of having to shoot some poor fool working for the government
who has been sent to take my weapons. We need to take our fight to the true enemy,
the Jihadist Islamic hordes, not fight each other.
I pray our government has the backbone to get a handle on all of this because we are
not going to sit back and lose this country without a fight. And if it is to the death then
so be it. jws tx
I feel that we r defintely moving into an uncharted era. We r learning growth and living techs skills.
We would love to starton some of the projects but at this time all we could do is purchaes the info to add to our lib of info. We r hoping for better things in this year and to come so we will be able to move one step closer to our goal of getting futher off the grid.
Thank u we r reading all we can.
I’m scared yes, but what can we do ? WE CAN ONLY TRY OR BEST TO SURVIVE. By any means of keeping our guns loaded,cocked,and ready to fire at any one that trys to take our food,women,or children.as far as running out of food ourselves, it would be nice to have a few pages on butchering and cleaning the common prey like squirrels,duck, pheasant,birds,doves,snakes,rabbits,frogs,fish,,,cats,(we kinda know that exists) hell even horses..I mean if its for surviving ,I have to feed my family….I think as far as money goes, its gonna be worthless,trading will be where it was in the western days…keep extra candles/knives/weapons/clothing/soap/bug spray/ flour /and water… any kind of knowledge that will help a colony, that may let you join to build a larger force against evil…
What bugs me are the gas prices, they’re consistently high lately. Although they’ve come down a little, the price of gas really should be around $2.50 a gallon! Considering the price of just about everything else is higher than ever, this would take some of the pressure off a lot of us. Insurance costs a lot; leave room for absorbing some of the cost, plus leave a couple of bucks for dinner-out once in a while. I’d be happy about that!
Even with every preparation in place, where can anyone be safe anymore? Is there any where to flee to that would be safer than any other place? We have considered leaving the country before it hits. But, is there any country that’s safe? What about our own country? We reallly won’t be safe in the mountains, country, etc., with all their drones and warfare.
The UN’s Agenda 21 and any other program that goes around the Constitution to take our rights and freedoms away from us. We can not protect ourselves from things we do not see coming.
Frank…I think your information is spot on and valuable knowledge, but at my age (74) I think I”m more fatalistic. Not sure if, in the case of a horrific disaster, I would be able to run fast enough or fight hard enough to survive. But I want to live on my own terms for right now…and that means not fattening the pockets of those who own the power plants, and I want to leave this planet a cleaner, smarter place for my grandchildren. However, I’m still very active and can’t wait till spring to get up on the roof and start the solar project. And I plan to get a gun (I’m a good hunter) to provide for myself if I need. Thanks for helping me stay independent!!
how the schools aren’t teaching the truth about the Constitution & what it truly means.. in other words the dumbing down of Americans & what it means…Like how ‘big’ brother is spying on us..I once had an Am. History teacher that the first day of class issued the challenge…Prove to me that you have the same freedoms that I had growing up. If you can you will get an A for the year & never have to take a test nor do anything in this class… This was in the late 60’s & not 1 person ever got to collect!!!!
THANK YOU
What effect would a emp bomb have on pacemakers…..and would there be any safeguards someone could do to counter..

Frank,
I would like to know how to Heat my Swimming Pool with Solar Power.
That would be very helpful.
Thanks,

Frank: One of my BIGGEST CONCERNS is the continuing action to take away our 2nd amendments rights. It has been shown that countries that implimented gun control had highly increased crime rates since the people did not have the ability to deter the aggressors. The government knows that the people do not want much of what it is pushing upon us, and fear the people when they are armed, but will do whatever they want when we are not armed. That is my biggest concern. We are in our 80’s and need our guns to protect our lives and belongings from thieves—both individual and government. Bob
I’m planning on installing a whole house generator. How do I harden the electronic components to minimize electormagnetic damage to the system?
Dan, I would consider building a faraday cage around the generator to disrupt EMPs rather than try to modify your components.
WILL OUR DOLLAR SURVIVE? IF NOT, HOW SOON WILL IT FAIL?THEN, HOW DO WE PREPARE TO PURCHASE GOODS,AND BY WHAT MEANS?
I have been listening to the 37 things you need to get. I am really getting tired of listening to these people going on and on and especially the guy who does the drawings. Have you heard about “cutting to the chase”. They can say the same thing in 1/4 of the time. I do enjoy reading and learning how to survive, but it really drives me crazy when I have to wait for 1/2 an hour or even up to over one hour to get to the meat of the message and then you want us to buy the books, pamphlets etc. Keep up the good work, but please cut down on the talking and drawing.
Is there a way to build a bomb shelter affordably ?
I would like to hear about home security for those who have no ability to bug out but have to bug in because of their inability to walk or some other disabilities
Hey Patricia,
In the (view artcles by catagry) section to the left, scroll down to water crisis, and read the full ariticle. Escentially get a 5 gal. bucket, punch or drill with a hole in the side down by the bottom that you can plug. Next go to home depot or your garden shop and get a bag of course gravel, a bag of sand and a couple bags of activated charcoal.
Pour a layer of rock in the bottom of the bucket, next a layer of charcoal and then the sand. fill the bucket with water and drain. Then flush until the water runs clear. You have a water filter. Next use plain bleach or clorox( no additives) 8 drops to the gallon and it’s germ free… If you find that it smells or tasts like clorine, set it aside for a day and let the clorine evoperate.

I would like to hear more about the Libyan investigation; the executive powers Obama has assumed; the proof Obama is not a U.S. citizen; Impeachment and Treason charges that may be placed against Obama; the citizen army Obama has formed and armed; where the bullets the FDA and other non-combat government orgs have ordered and received; and exactly which EPA rules are coming into force once Obama is sworn into office again. As well, I would like to know how to build a water purifier out of easily accessible things. Really appreciate all you’ve done so far, keep up the good work!
I too am over 70 and am trying to add to the next generation the information and supplies you suggest. Keep up the very interesting and informative articles so that I can keep others informed as well as myself. GOD is still in control.. after all he told us the Nebuchadnezar was” MY servant” and used to get Judah back in line through the Babalonian captivity…is it any different now?????
Here we go Frank, First Igot to say that I payed twice beaue my first book and cd did not arrive in my hand’s so I e-mail Karen and got it coming again and it did for another fee. That’s my first experince with your company. I an build thing’s with no much problem only need time.
Iam interested in wind and solar to help with the power BILL’S
I’msure once Iget a grip on solar it should help alot.
I think that the information that you provide is excellent.
But, it is sort of overwhelming in that it appears to me that regardless of what we do we will eventually end up dead. I realize that we are all headed there. For example if the nukes start flying then we can all put our heads between our legs and kiss our butts goodbye. The terrorists are now here in the USA.
Do you have suggestions as to how to handle this overwhelm? At least as I see it.
By the way Frank, I just wanted to thank you for all of the insightful comments, thoughts and ideas you have come up with and passed along. Good job…
Hey Frank,
In responce to your questions about what scares me, or has me fighing mad, how much room do I have?
Whar scares me and has me mad as hell, is the way our country is going, and I see that as being straight downhill. This country used to be able to hold it’s head up and was the biggest and best. We out produced everyone else in the world and did a good job while we were at it. No we we are the biggest debtter countre in the world. The only thing we produce anymore is service, everything else is bought over seas. Frankly Frank, The Chineese own the majority of this country of ours and we keep selling more of it off one piece at a time. What we don’t sell we give away to other countrys and get kicked in the teeth for it. Oh Well, it doesn’t seem that anyone really cares anymore. I suppose that if enough people really cared they would quit electing the same people, that are ruining this country of ours, over and over everytime we had an election.
Well , after having dedicated the last two years trying to get rid of that lying, evil person in the White House & failed, I am just trying to do the best I can to prepare for the hard times that the US electorate has chosen for us all. I focus on things like generating our own power, food storage, gold, bullets & wrking 18hours a day trying to scrape all the dollars I can together to pay the outrageous taxes that my manufacturing business will soon be crushed by. Along with things like trying to plan best I can to deal with the monster, Obamacare that will no doubt soon force me to no longer be able to pay 100% of my employees health ins. I worry for them! I worry for us all! Except the dumb lemmings that pulled the lever for Obama! They chose to ignore the coming economic calamity& it may be wrong but it will be slightly gratifying to hear their laments(tho they’ll prob still be blaming rich people & Bush?!). When the dollar crashes & the can reaches the brick wall at the end of the road Obama’s driving us down! Sadly the whole world will suffer! Not just the ignorant fools but the billions of innocent victims as well. Thankfully God doesn’t ever face re-election!!!
Thanks Frank for your insight, tips and information! My husband is a disabled Vietnam Veteran and I am looking forward to getting us off the grid for good!
Thank you so much for your information about solar and survival and all the other things you have shared with us. I do ennjoy reading the E-mails that I recieve from you. I do have a Q about EMP’S. Does an EMP affeck wiring or just electrical components?Would an EMP be deterred by the thin foil on the moisture berrier panels in the walls of my house.And on another topic, can a Telsa coil actualy produce useable voltage and current to operate appliances and or other devices?If this out of your expertise can you steer me in the right direction to gat an answer?Thank you for all the good work you do. Oh and as far as what upsets me lately, at the top of the list it would have to be the current presidential adminstration.Iknow that in politics there has always been deception but at least we were not seeing politicians that were so bent on turning this country into a Marxist society like Obama is and the other thing is that so many people believe in this ” Hope and change”. Hope to hear from you soon Tom.
Keep it up!!
This is good, reliable, simple, and very understandable, essential survival information.
Off grid living, other countrys like Costa Rica.
Interested in energy savings, nothing else.
I haven’t had time to review your blog but have you covered the subject of surviving on nature alone in the event that your property is taken over or ravaged in some way?
What vegetation is safe to eat? What animals are safe to eat? What objects a person should have at the ready in the event that any of the above takes place?
How do you make fire using sticks and kindling? How do you fish without a pole? How do you trap animals? How do you skin what you catch? How do you gather up water from nature and then filter it using what is available in nature? How do you build a shelter? How do you sew skins together without needle and thread?
Stuff like that would be of help to anyone who finds themselves without a home.
Stephen,
I’ve actually put all of this together in one illustrated guide: http://www.bugoutbag4patriots.com
Frank
good stuff. But I was lead that the solar panels would be inexpensive than conventional buying. They now have panels that generate 300watts.
I will say you broadened my knowledge base and for this I’m truly grateful. I think you are doing Americans a great service. Keep it up!
Thanks for your comment, David. I am currently working on making other list-serve options. I’ll try to word the email so you know to open it when those options are available.
Hi,
I was disappointed that your solar panel DVD did not include the full story of connecting it to the electrical system/water pump. If you could cover this in detail, I would be grateful.
thanks
Sorry about that, Peter. Start here: http://www.power4patriots.com/support_technical.php and when you get down to your specific question, email it to [email protected] and I (or one of our tech guys) will answer it.
Hi Frank,
Thanks for the good info and Power4Patriots DVDs and such. My husband and I are elderly and he is not into constructing any solar or wind power components. I’ll have to beg my son-inlaw to do it. We are pretty self sufficient- woodstove, organic garden, I save seeds and can and freeze and dry food, ready for emergencies, etc. But the thing I need is a simple solar or wind or other way to pump up water from our artesian well, when the power goes out. Any ideas?
Thanks, Eloise
I have been slammed with homework. I haven’t the time or money yet to check out all of your links or start any projects. I hope they all still work when i do. Keep fighting the good fight bro!
Thank you for all the informative articles. We are concerned about a place to hide. The time may be long and we don’t want to shoot people. Can you give us some hints and suggestions about how to disappear— with our stores? What can we store that will last and we can eat it without cooking.
History has born out that the greatest asset a person can have in a crisis is a good neighbor. When crisises happen, if we are prepared and our neighbors are not, society will break down, and then a bad situation goes super critical. We need to help our neighbors get prepared while we are getting prepared.
What would happen if you not only built yourself a windmill or solar panel for christmas, but you got one for your neighbor as well? It would mean your community would be more resistant to the chaos. If you are really preparing for a really bad future (or current) event, and not just tinkering with the technology because its cool, help your community.
I am in the process of building a wind turbine based on your manual. My objective is to create enough energy under normal conditions (No power outage) to power my laptop computer, router, cable modem, printer and one lamp with a CFL bulb. So far I have the DC Generator and material to make the blades and all other PVC parts. What I am not sure of is, do I need a charge controller, battery, inverter and connect to the breaker box or should I convert to AC just after the generator and then go directly to the breaker box? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The fact that our Gov..both parties..have contaminated free enterprise with the Market invested in very high risk and when they failed charged the tax payer with the bill. Now we are in financial free fall with the American people left raped and broke! It’s time for all Americans to take back their lives and research and learn how they can invest their money..what’s left of it.. so they can control their investments that are not in the Market. My investigations have pointed to a resurgent of gas and oil production here in the USA.. yea!!!!! heads up America we are not defeated yet!!! keep fighting the good fight!! Learn how you can prepare yourself for the economic destruction..
Would love to hear your thoughts on an economic system collapse, and the soon to follow emptying of the cities, with people on the move looking for food and water.
Morning Frank,
There is really nothing at this point that scares me except our newly re-elected President.
I purchased you solar package for my son for Christmas!! So, I’ve been saving all the
emails to give to him after Christmas.
I am 76 years old and the #13 is our most dangerous!!
Obama is the 13th President that I have lived under!!
I’ve gone thru the atomic bomb age, the cold war age, the get under you desk age but there
is no defense against a person that totally ignores our constitution!!
There has been an alarming increase in the total number of TSA workers since 911; allowing for increased road block check points on our highways and at other places where people gather. More people than ever are likely to experience the government dominance training which is what these expanded activities are all about. I’m looking for specific information about what supposed enforcement power these people think they have. In what practical way can we throw their unconstitutional degrading treatment of law abiding Americans back in their faces when we are subjected to searches without just cause?
You worry about being atttack and things going wrong when if fact we are attacked everyday spiritually… Is your soul prepared for the life after Frank? I hear your concerns and read your emails. I have yet tried the solar power CDs. so i have no comment on them. I am just concerned for the life after for my family and friends and the world. We better hoard up on Jesus and make sure that were we are going, is the main focus. the life we live here is going to end. we all die…. So that is my thoughts have a good day and i hope all goes well for you… Terry
Info re: Wild edible vegetation, especially in FL. However ant info would be good.
Thanks, Robert
Dear Mr. Bates:
I have purchased two of your CD’S. The first was blank. the second was in such a baritone voice that I could not understand all of your comments. Another reader has echoed me comment on the solar panel, It was a nicely detailed, but the rest seemed to be a hurried explanation. I have not found any source with the prices of parts as cheap as you describe. Plus, it gets really expense when powering a one bed house! The only appliances on the circuit are; one reffer, one microwave, one computer, one television, one DVD player, eleven florescent light bulbs, three ceiling fans, two yard lights, two florescent lights in garage. Approx. how many amp.s would that take with a hundred amp.s to spare? As once in a while I use an electric welder and an air compressor.
Sincerely
Kenny Stites
Frank, I am concerned about the lose of our freedoms and the constitution being stomped on. I am concerned about the one world government movement. I see the sovereignty of the USA melting away and knowbody is even talking about it. I think the UN is evil and has a grim future in for you and I. I would like you to see what you can find out. Also i wonder what can be done to advance freedom in America.
The most important thing we all need after the horrible results of this election is learning more about our constitution and getting our lives aligned with our Heavenly Fathers will for us-such as serving each other/forgiving each other/living totally opposite to the Administrations policies for their furnishing all for us. And our being self-sufficient.
I ordered some solar and wind generating material from you on 9/23 and want to see it before I order anything else from you.
as an air defense soldier i have determined with many other soldiers in many different military diciplines that the greatest interest can be found within the “superwave” hypothisis as a trigger for total catosrophic loss resulting in an event called “heliofreeze” (see patrick geryl matirial) basicly anything disaster-wise that can happen will happen with a posible “magnetic reversal” being the last event to cause a problem technologicly we would have to re design everything we use today and magnets in our current generators engines and moters will appear to be “installed backwards” so its probably nesscecery to just build free energy devices if such an event is to occure or we would take about 200 years to get to where we are today as opposed to 5-10 with a “cumulative” 300 year leap in future tech. this is also what those within the conciousness movements seem to be refering to however most are “unaware” of the science reguarding the matter silly as that may sound
Will just one person ever have the ability to save our world from the doom that seeks ahead? Will our elected officials have the courage to stand up for what the know is the right course of action for our future, which is at stake? Our elected officials cannot make these so necessary changes (movements) on their own! It is up to our United Nation and United Unions to all join forces and truly create better ways of sustainable and global peace! Unity needs to spread throughout the world starting in your family networks, communities, towns, states, nations, and beyond! We need to respect each others ways and combines or strengths and strengthen our weaknesses in order to work together to create this ideal universal way of life! Sacrifices need to be made at a global level in order to conserve, preserve, and restore our natural resources so that life as we know it can be sustained for our future generations to live healthier lives than ourselves. We need to stop putting our time, money, energy, and resources into destruction and space exploration and focus on taking care of the gifts we were given here on this planet, our home, to manage properly (to the best (greatest) of our abilities. Share, Love, help liberate, be liberated, spread peace!
I have learn quite a bit from your emails and blog. Many items to bring to the forefront never came to mind that they can be used for multiple purposes. Also I feel I was on the right track in preparing for an emergency, but have over looked many items that you pointed out that were so obvious and therefore overlooked or taken for granted. You definitely provide “wake-up calls. Thank you Frank Bates!
I would like to learn more about the devastating affects of mountain top coal mining terrorism. I would also like more information about the sodium fluoride problem in the United States drinking water and information about what we, as citizens, can do to avoid drinking and consuming the poisons that our government feeds us. I would also like to know what actions this organization is taking to prevent, prepare, and make these necessary changes and preparations occur?
I aminterested in all you have posted to date but now ourfinances have taken a dive .So hope to implent your ideas soon thank you for getting all this info out there.God bless deb
Solar shingles are now here. Keep us up on them. bob
Frank, I’m absolutely baffled how if you have a legitimate company why you can’t fill my order and have it sent to my address. I have yet to receive a comprehensible answer from anyone at your company. Thanks, Jason
Hi Frank,
I am still thinking about all of this info you are putting out and waiting on tomorrow. Nov. 6, 2012 will make me decide what I want to do and how fast I want to do it. So, I am buying time. If you need anymore info we may talk later.
Ron
Note: I just read the other comments after I posted mine, so I guess we are all in Line.
Hi Frank,
I purchased your full CD Rom / Workbook / Video package, and have only had a chance to watch the ‘How to build a solar panel’ video so far. My brother was in from out of town so we watched it together. We were both a bit disappointed in the video, as it went into too much detail at the beginning on how to make the frame and square it up – and then the critical part at the end on how to hook everything up was rushed. Every detail on building the frame was very well covered – but then it was like you ran out of time and crammed everything else in at the end without all the details. I’m hoping this will be better covered in the manual or CD Rom.
I really do want to get off the grid as I live in the city, and who knows what the future holds regarding power delivery. I am working 2 jobs right now, and will work on this as I can and let you know how it goes.
If you can write anything on your blog to alert people that “It’s NOT the economy”! It’s the Federal Reserve System that is creating the bad economy it would be very helpful.
Everyone I talk to is worried about the economy, lack of jobs, inflation coming in the future, etc. These things are ALL brought about by the bankers, and their FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. They caused the great depression in the 30s and are hard at work at it again in the present day. I’d really hate to see it happen again, but that is exactly what we are headed for, except this time the World Bank will “come to the rescue” and give us the NEW WORLD ORDER, with a “World Currency” which will end freedom as we know it in the United States, along with our sovereignty.
People need to get educated on the Federal Reserve so we can force the Congress to pass an ‘Audit the Fed bill’, and then completely eliminate the Federal Reserve System and return the coining and issuing of money to the United States Government where it belongs – not an elite group of private bankers. The Federal Reserve System flat out violates the United States Constitution (Article 1 Section 8).
If we act fast enough and do the right things, we can come out of this, and though it will be a tough road to hoe for a while, at least we will salvage the USA, our sovereignty, and our Constitution, which guarantees freedom for all – IF WE USE IT!
Too many of our soldiers have shed blood, and laid down their lives for our wonderful country, and I will do everything in my power before I let a bunch of sick, cowardly, power hungry bankers take it away!
The Federal Reserve System – a system that creates money out of thin air, and then makes us pay it back with interest – MUST GO. If someone tried to do that in the neighborhood they would end up in jail in a heartbeat! They (the private bankers)got a “Law” passed to make it “Legal”, (even though it violates our constitution). We all need to get together and simply cancel the debt. It’s as simple as that.
Please help wake people up. The USA has the most sincere, honest, dedicated and hard-working people in the world – they just need to know what to do to set things right.
I’ve said enough – thanks for reading this and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Tony Berka
Thanks for your comment, Tony. Please check out the technical FAQ for hookup schematics.http://www.power4patriots.com/support_technical.php – Frank
What’s got me mad is the way the past two presidents have spent us into oblivion. I get angry every time I hear the president talk about the economy and how he has created jobs and done all these wonderful things for our country. It is a crock of shit and I am tired of it!
my concern is how to survive runaway inflation which is sure to occur as our money continues to be devalued with all the quantitative easings.
what kind of threat does the jet stream pose,on our civilization, if it were to become broken ( low pressure systems taking its place)? This seems to be the current condition of the jet stream.

As a couple over 70 yrs of age and only able to do light construction, how do we put in place some survival plans for food, heat, communication?
Also, want to give for Christmas some survival food to our two daughters and a grandson. They are busy and not paying attention. What do you suggest?
Welcome to the community, Marilyn. It’s a bit self-serving, but I really do recommend that you check out http://www.survivalseeds4patriots.com/. Starting a vegetable garden is certainly within the reach of 70-somethingers and you may enjoy the added health benefits of additional exercise and vegetable consumption. The seed vault and accompanying e-books would also make excellent gifts – even for loved ones who are not yet as aware as you.
