10 Tips For Staying Clean After SHTF

10 Tips For Staying Clean After The SHTF

The point of this article is to give you a few ideas on personal hygiene in post-SHTF situations, although some of these tips can be applied right now.

Survival Fitness

by Alan Urban

The older I get, the more concerned I am with survival fitness. I’ve only posted one other article on fitness, “Getting In Shape For TEOTWAWKI,” but I’ve learned a few things since them. Much of my learning is from The Primal Blueprint. I highly recommend that book. It completely changed the way I eat and exercise and I’ve never felt better. Here are a few things I’ve learned.

Stop Jogging

I know a lot of people will disagree with this, but long workouts like jogging are not the best way to exercise. In fact, they’re probably one of the worst ways to exercise. Last year I went jogging three days a week so I would be able to complete a 10k run. Strangely, I only lost a few pounds during the months I spent training. I also noticed that even though I could jog for several miles, I still got winded when I ran up the stairs in my house.

Believe it or not, long cardio workouts aren’t very good for your heart. Yes, they make your heart more efficient, but they also reduce your heart’s reserve capacity. In order to get more efficient, your heart actually gets smaller so it can go longer while using less energy. But what if you suddenly need to push your heart to the limit for a few minutes? It won’t be able to handle it. This phenomenon is explained in detail in The Doctor’s Heart Cure.

Why You Should Get Your Teeth Fixed

by Alan Urban

Have you ever had a really bad toothache? One so bad you couldn’t concentrate on anything or even sleep at night? I have. And let me tell you, it’s no picnic. Painkillers and Orajel weren’t enough to stop it, or even dull it significantly. I was in so much pain that I was calling every dentist in the book, trying to find one that could see me immediately. Eventually, someone agreed to see me that same week and I ended up getting a root canal. Several months ago I was thinking about what I would have done in a survival … Read More

Survival for Pregnant Women and Babies

by Alan Urban

If you or someone you know is pregnant or has a baby, check out these videos by The Patriot Nurse. Ever since the great recession began, some people have been afraid to have children. They’d rather wait until after the economy collapses and recovers. The problem is, no one knows how long this train wreck could last or how long a full recovery might take. And people have raised happy families in difficult times before. Unless you know for a fact that the end of the world is imminent, I see no reason to delay having children. You could wake … Read More

Getting In Shape For The End Of The World As We Know It

by Alan Urban

Health and fitness is not something most people consider when preparing for TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it), but they should. People tend to take for granted just how easy we have it in the modern world. Up until the last century, most people throughout history worked from sunup to sundown in fields and gardens just so they could get enough food to do it again the next day. Nowadays, except for those living in third world countries, food isn’t much of a concern for most people. In fact, most people are more worried about eating … Read More
