A Day Late

Bug Out Planning Long Distance, by J.B. in Georgia

Thu, 23 May 2013 17:19:03 -0400

There is a plethora of good, sound information and articles on SurvivalBlog.com that I have researched, absorbed, and adapted into much of what we have done to prepare. I would like to personally extend my gratitude to all the contributors of this subject and let them know that the information they have freely shared has been very helpful. In addition, there are countless other informative sites, books, and organizations gained from this web site that has also been very useful. This article describes our particular situation, the challenges, and planning to make our escape from the crowded suburbs of Atlanta to the sanctuary of the American Redoubt. It is not a perfect plan and there are many risks involved, but in the end, one must do what they must with what they have and be prepared for the worst.

I’d always heard rumors of people making their own almond milk but I assumed it was a super difficult process. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally built up the courage to make it. It’s really easy, and oddly fun.

To make Raw Almond Milk:

What you’ll need:

1 cup raw almonds

2-3 cups of water

vanilla extract (optional)

blender

cheesecloth/muslin/pantyhose

What you’ll need to do:

Combine almonds and water. Let sit overnight. Blend together and pour into a jar lined with cheesecloth/muslin/pantyhose. Let this separate the milk from the leftover almond chunks. Make sure to give the cloth a good squeeze when you’re done to get as much out as you can. Refrigerate and enjoy!

Sounds so easy and delicious!

OH MY GOD WHAT

Home-made almond milk is a fair lot better than store-bought.

Would still prefer home-made oat milk though.

I once tried making homemade soy milk. Similar process, but this looks easier. Vay nice, vay nice.

this just may change my life.

MIT’s Cheetah robot runs faster & more efficiently

Robotic Greyhound Races are closer than you think. From Engadget:

At the recent International Conference on Robotics and Automation, the Institute of Technology showed of its newest version, which reached a top speed of 13.7 mph. To accomplish this, the runner still needs parallel support bars to constrain movement in one dimension, reducing any roll, yaw — and the chances of a pretty expensive fall. The team says the new version’s cost of transport (COT is power consumption divided by weight, times velocity) is around 0.52. In comparison, Honda’s Asimo has a hefty COT of 2.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE

Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!!

NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE…

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.

A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.

The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can perhaps buy precious time to get themselves to a phone and dial 911.

During the Bubonic Plague, doctors wore these bird-like masks to avoid becoming sick. They would fill the beaks with spices and rose petals, so they wouldn’t have to smell the rotting bodies.

A theory during the Bubonic Plague was that the plague was caused by evil spirits. To scare the spirits away, the masks were intentionally designed to be creepy.

hqcreations said: you think this really works?

I haven’t tried it personally yet but it wouldn’t be too hard to prove. I’ve got all the ingredients so I’ll see if I can’t make the time. It does make a bit of sense though.
