matthew - I just wanted to clarify that while i'll be tinkering with building a module to use FPS in facebook, it's not my top priority. I don't expect I'll be the first one to roll one out, actually I'd like to get beaten to it :)

I'll mostly be doing it as a learninng project. As I stated in my post that you linked to, I really do believe that FPS will be a game changing platform - one that will generate a ton of mashups.

I LOVE the Bourne series! I read all 3 books some time ago, the last 2 movies have been great, I hope this one is!

Re: Browsing on a mobile device sucks

Phil801 — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 09:40:52 -0000

No kiddin Thom, mobile browsing is a total joke! There are some sites out there that do a great job detecting your mobile and giving you different css. What I've found is that most people building sites rarely think about their mobile users. Try going to phil801.com/wpblog (my tech blog) on your mobile, it'll sense it but my main site, phil801.com won't. The reason for that is I'm using Alex King's WP Mobile plugin on my blog but because I'm not a php or css programmer, I have no idea how to do that for my main site, though I would love to! I was barely able to hack together the stuff I did on my home site. My point is that unless you know how to do front end web development it's still really tricky to build your site to be mobile friendly - is yours?

Unless I misunderstand something, it's not actually about the browser, but about the site - the css has to be different and it has to be done by something that knows what the content is, which the browser doesn't. Going naked (not rendering css) doesn't help much either. Of course, this would be solved by a lot of the symantec web goals - web 3.0 :)

Re: Does your website support mobile bowsers?

Phil801 — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 09:42:32 -0000

Lol - I just left my comment about using Alex's plugin - I guess you found it! :)

wordmob.com is using that plugin as well!

Re: What Would You Ask Orson Scott Card?

Phil801 — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 19:26:51 -0000

I would ask him if he is planning to more on the Ender/Bean/Peter series - there's still more story there. I'd also like to know if he's going to write another in the Alvin Maker series, the final book in that series was wide open for a sequel.

Great post and point Rachel! Serenity is on that list under Leukemia and O . Without donors, without access to blood and plateletes, she wouldn't have survived. Donating blood and especially plateletes is a wonderful way to not only help my daughter, but lots of local people. If you are able, please go out and donate! And good on ya Rachel for being such a great donor! I'm sure you've contributed personally to saving the life of lots of people.

Re: Canning (bottling) Chicken

Phil801 — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 11:11:05 -0000

Mike - by "cans" I'm not sure if you're referring to the bottles or the pressure cooker - so I'll answer both.

Once you put your salt and chicken in the bottle, throw the lid and ring on the bottle and hand tighten.

Once you have enough bottles to fill your pressure cooker (7 in my case) load your bottles into the cooker and put 2 quarts of water into the cooker (i left that step out in my narrative). Then secure the lid on the cooker, tighten it and turn up the heat. Once you've turned the heat on it will start building pressure - DO NOT remove the lids without letting them cool to de-pressurize! Don't forget to put your rocker on the lid after you secure the lid.

Re: Canning (bottling) Chicken

Phil801 — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 11:14:11 -0000

Nice Jayce! That sounds like one of our next projects - mixing a huge batch of beef stew in our stock pot and then bottling it - just dump in a pot later and heat! Dad was talking about doing chili that way just recently too.

Interesting to note, when I bought bottles this weekend the checker asked me what I was bottling because the season was over. I told her meat and she was confused. Funny that we've almost completely forgotten this important preserving skill!

Re: Canning (bottling) Chicken

Phil801 — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 11:27:08 -0000

joseph - i'm positive that that would work great. Two reasons for my step - 1) that's what MOM said to do :) 2)that's a LOT of little chunks of chicken to dry rub. The salt is just to give it a bit of a taste anyway. You can do it without it - I was thinking about putting some teriyaki seasoning in there and seeing how that did.

But again, the most important reason is that Mom says. Good point though, it's going to be marinating a long time - should make the best of it.

Re: Canning (bottling) Chicken

Phil801 — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:42:01 -0000

bcrockett - that's a GREAT question, I should have mentioned that in my article. Mom tells me it will last at least 10 years. She hasn't kept any beyond that though. I know from a couple other sources that it will last at least 5 years. The real question I think is how much nutritional value does it lose over time, which I have no idea of. For me personally, I'm sure we'll rotate through what we have now in less than a year.

Re: Make some noise

Phil801 — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 12:24:53 -0000

Your timing on this post is excellent! Last night I was going over whistle usage with my kids, the whistle I have for each of them wasn't in this review and I have no idea if it blows over 100 decibels or not.

This is the whistle I use and have for all my kids: http://www.prepare-now.com/whistle.html

I really like this whistle for them because in one simple carry item it incorporates a whistle, compass, matches (in a dry carry socket), flint and a signal mirror. I have one in each of our BOBs and several that the kids can use when they go out.

Another important use of whistles is re-joining if you're separated. I've heard several stories of hikers who have gotten split up for one reason or another and through both using whistles they were able to make their way back to each other.

Re: Food Storage – Flavorings: Have you stocked up?

Phil801 — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 15:10:21 -0000

Good question Mrs. Organic - according to several sites like this one http://homecooking.about.com/cs/foodfactsheets/... Pure vanilla extract has an indefinite shelf life due to the alcohol content.

We'll be doing a post on spices sometime soon - one key thing to consider with spices is that if we're living off of game we may want to have a lot of meat spices stocked up to hide the gamey taste.

Re: Prepping for Prepping

Phil801 — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 11:36:49 -0000

Connor, great points! Prioritization is a critical part of planning and executing your prep plans.

And I loudly second your statement about not going into debt for preparedness! If was was willing to just charge everything I needed/wanted for preps not only would I be broke, I'd have everything I needed and prepping wouldn't be a lifestyle for me.

It will be a sacrifice for me this year to purchase the tents and stoves that I mention in this article. In the neighborhood of $5k. I know I'll appreciate them MUCH more for the effort that went into getting them. The only stress with it is that I have to sit back for a year and hope I get it before TSHTF :)

Re: Prepping for Prepping

Phil801 — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 11:41:27 -0000

@daren excellent feedback from Jayce there, and Connor's comment as well - baby steps will get you a long way! The important thing is that with every match you are able to buy, you are more prepared than you were before.

And like Jayce said and my article mentions, the most important part of prepping is the knowledge and experience. It changes you. There are lots of cheap homemade type things you can do - take a look at our cotton ball firestarter post for example. Major prep for only 6 bucks.

And for your wife, once you get your food storage going make sure that you have all the things stored up that she is needing all the time. Then, when she says "we're out of X" you can just tell her it's down in storage and you'll go grab it for her - or show her where. She'll learn to love the idea of having her own supply of everything! Well, my wife and several of my friends wives have at least. :)

Re: Backing up your computer and preserving your files

Phil801 — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 16:45:58 -0000

@Connor
Great comment, thanks! I've thought about using the Time Capsule several times and I think it sounds like a great solution for part of the problem - as you've indicated.

I also have issue with it in that it's not a grab and go, then plug in anywhere solution (or is it?) to my understanding. I totally agree with you on getting complacent about backing up your files, it's a big problem.

For me personally, I have the files on my hard drive backed up offsite via the internet, critical stuff redundantly on an external hard drive and 2 flash drives with my most important files on them - mostly family photos for the last decade. I keep one flash drive at my office and one in my go bag at home.

I can see a time capsule fitting in there to take place of the external drive like you have covered - I think it's an excellent solution to replace that part of the plan.

@JeffBarr
Great suggestion, I've not heard of the algorithm you're describing but I REALLY like the idea! Jayce and I discussed whether to include encryption in this post and decided that it really deserved its own writeup. We should be publishing that soon.

You ladies did a great job of writing up Mozy and doing backups! Way to get the conversation started :)

We definitely like to take things as deep as we can here as you've noticed. We plan to do it quite a bit with your blog posts. Not always like this one did but to talk about things that complement some of your food storage posts.... you'll see :)

Re: Keeping your data safe

Phil801 — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 21:12:02 -0000

My concern with this is that you might need to use it on a computer that 1) doesn't have access to the internet and 2) doesn't have TrueCrypt installed.

This means you would need to carry around a copy of the program wherever your Flash Drive went. Can you create an un-encrypted volume on your flash drive? If so, then you could put the software on the unencrypted volume, allowing you to install it if you needed to.

Re: Starting the New Year – Rounding out Food Storage

Phil801 — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 15:44:48 -0000

@Dean Very good point - yes I have a generator! :) I also have over 50 gallons of gas stored for it. Interesting idea with dehydrating corn, I'll have to give that a shot. That's actually our rotating food and I love frozen corn, that supply will rotate about every 6 months or so. I think with dehydrating corn I'd want it more for long term storage. I've got several hundred pounds of dried corn in long term storage - in buckets I bought already filled.

@Jayce - it is very nice to have so much room :)

Re: Starting the New Year – Rounding out Food Storage

Phil801 — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 17:24:08 -0000

hehe - I'm at risk right now :) I'm planning on building a fuel shed in the spring but for now, I have more than 10 5 gallon gas cans in my attached garage. Not safe, not smart, I know. But, I've only recently filled them all because of heightened concern to have them on hand. For the record:In this case, I recommend you NOT do what I'm doing :)

When I build the fuel storage area, I'll definitely post about it.

Re: Starting the New Year – Rounding out Food Storage

Phil801 — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 18:33:20 -0000

@Tristan - first off, love your name! I nearly named one of my kids Tristan.

You're absolutely right about storing water! I have several 50 gallon drums stored along with 200 "milk jugs" (they are actually 1 gallon jugs that water came in). The water in the jugs is primarily for flushing toilets.

You and Connor have convinced me - I will soon write posts on both water and gasoline storage :)

@Michelle Patriots is an EXCELLENT read! I love how it's actually a survival manual wrapped up in a novel! Many of my kids have read it and we refer to it very often.

@ekim VERY COOL! I was hoping I would get a good list of new books out of this post, it's working!

@Carla I have "Dry it You'll like it" but I don't think I have the other ones. Thanks for adding to the list of what else I should get!

@Jayce I'm not surprised we have a lot of the same books ;) I'll be interested to see what else you recommend.

@Roberta
First, thanks for the support and kind words! We try very hard to provide the best information we can. It's nice to know it's appreciated!

I completely agree with you - it is very hard to maintain compassion for people who do nothing to ensure their own safety. Basic preps are SO easy, but they do require you to take initiative and get off your butt - THAT must be the problem for lots of these people!

It especially bugs me when people who have home, health, life, fire, earthquake, alien, etc insurance don't even have a days worth of water stored!

Thanks for continuing to read and for your great comment!

Re: Learning From the Pioneers

Phil801 — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 12:27:17 -0000

@ekim - good point on the honey - my father keeps 3 hives and provides us with tons of honey!

@david - Good point David, in most scenarios I would expect we would be hunting for food. To accommodate this I would be sure to bring my butchering kit as well.

I see the ammo requirements here as far too few, my personal requirements are 2,000 - 5,000 rounds per caliber weapon, depending on its purpose.

I think you're very correct that in this list we need to consider their situation, their time and their purpose for each item.

Re: Learning From the Pioneers

Phil801 — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 10:05:11 -0000

Kathi I think you're right, do. probably does mean ditto! That actually makes a lot more sense.

Anon - I agree with your assessment of the usage of alcohol. Especially for use as a tincture. The other uses for it can be perhaps better replaced with modern means, but making tinctures still requires alcohol. Thanks for you input.

Thanks to everyone for the great input so far, I'm glad you've enjoyed the list!

Oh, and Dave - you've given me a great idea for a new post - we've been using cloth diapers for many years.

Re: Survival Seeds in a Can-9 Years Later

Phil801 — Mon, 18 May 2009 15:55:57 -0000

I just re-read this and wanted to say, I STRONGLY agree with your assessment in your final paragraph! Buying seeds and storing them is great, but if you don't garden and you think that in rough times you're just going to throw some seeds out and save yourself, you're dead wrong! Gardening is not as easy as it looks - it's a lot of hard work! It is both a skill you need to learn and a way of life. Not only that, but you need to make sure you know how to preserve both your harvest and your seeds. Practicing that now is paramount if you plan to sustain yourself off of self-grown food in an emergency.

Re: Chicken Tractors

Phil801 — Mon, 18 May 2009 14:02:08 -0000

Thanks matthiasj! I'm pretty sure it'll hold through winter without any problems :)

angela: I have a dozen birds in there right now and it's not overly crowded. The design also accommodates adding an extension to the cage attaching on the left or right side by the handles. I plan to extend the length of the run later this month. (follow up post).

Re: Chicken Tractors

Phil801 — Mon, 18 May 2009 15:44:02 -0000

Jayce:

1) Yes, the ladder is hinged with a rope on the end of it. It not only allows me to shut it at night but also secures the birds in the house while I'm moving it.

2)Yes, In the winter I'll hang a warming light inside the house and run power to it (it will be in the garden during the winter). There are multiple roosting levels inside the house so they'll be able to self-regulate how much heat they are getting.

My birds are still only a couple months old. I think that by the time they're full grown that a dozen will be about the right amount for this cage. We'll see though.

Absolutely! The Wal-Mart Travel section is a prepper's best friend! :) My Wal-Mart got the small bottles back in stock a week ago, I bought a several of them as soon as they were back in. I'm making my own sanitizer but wanted all the bottles so that once they run empty I can just refill them.

Re: Evacuation/Emergency Combat Readiness

Phil801 — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:04:53 -0000

Good question matthiasj! It really depends on how much ammo I'm packing in it. But it comes in around 70-80 pounds. I haven't actually stepped on a scale with it.

This brings up a really good point though that I overlooked - it's important to train with all your gear on (like I was in the pics above) so that you're able to carry it. I could carry all that for several miles but I'd be tuckered out when I got there - but I've been backpacking all my life. Someone getting into this that doesn't pack will be shocked if they try to hike a mile or so loaded down like that.

Thanks Ekim! I'm really excited to get it renovated - good luck on getting your wife convinced!

zilla: Thanks, yes 8 kids is a major logistics challenge when considering any kind of preparedness! For bugging in I'm pretty well set (never finished but good enough to feel ok about it). My preference would be bugging in for sure, much more comfortable! There are still way too many scenarios where bugging out may be prudent though.

Getting the RV brought me one step closer to feeling at peace about possibly having to bug out one day. Trying to make sure that you're prepped for every scenario you can think of is kind of maddening, but it keeps you sharp as well! If anything, remodeling the RV will keep me busy and out of trouble with my wife :D
