I just heard that Fernando FerFal Aguirre of Surviving Argentina fame has relocated to Northern Ireland. Hearing about this makes me smile. It just shows the benefits of being able to relocate to a strategic place to continue your life. If you want to, you can get yourself a second passport or at least a way to get into the door to get one. On the interview he discusses why he chose Northern Ireland, his adjustment to the new country and looks back at some of the events in Argentina. How debt, including some credit card debt, was handled after tshtf, the US still being one of the best places to be due to our 2nd ammendment rights and how relocating to a 3rd world country might not be the best plan for those who live in a 1st world.
Listen to the podcast of The Survival Podcast . I recommend listening to the other podcasts as well, Jack(the host) makes a hell of a show.

Iran closing Strait of Hormuz, reaction to EU sanctions
Gas up those vehicles and BOVs, if you can, store up on the fuel as well. Prices will rise pretty fast pretty soon

U.S. Sends Letter to Iran on Strait of Hormuz
Iran confirmed today that it has received a letter from the United States concerning the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Ramin Mehmanparast, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, said the country is studying the letter and “will respond to it if it is necessary.”
“The US ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, sent a letter to Mohammad Khazaie, Iran’s UN representative, which was conveyed by the Swiss ambassador, and finally Iraqi President Jalal Talabani delivered its contents to officials” in Iran, the official IRNA news agency quoted Ramin Mehmanparast as saying.
“Providing security of the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf needs a collective measure and some cross-regional countries cannot decide about it,” he added.
The contents of the letter were not revealed.

I hope people are watching the news for these events.

Quick post for new year
Starting off the new year, I just wanted to remind folks to rotate your preps, particularly your water. Any items you have stored long term should also be checked up on. This is besides your grocery purchases (canned food). Also, update your food inventories for what would need to be replaced in the next few months.
A quick note on the water stores, I was rotating our water supply as you are supposed to do so every six months, when I found it would take longer than expected. Nearing the middle of my store of water jugs I noticed the water spurted brown from tap. I let it run for a few minutes waiting for it to clear-and I kept waiting. Soon enough I realized the newly filled up water jugs are a bit yellowish compared to the old ones. I assumed it was because the water would settle later on, and since I could not proceed further I set the task down to return to it after a week.
Week passed by and I make the time to resume filling up my stores on a Sunday night. Sadly, the water still had a tint of yellow/brown, but was a little better. This meant that water quality had deteriorated in the last few months, maybe in our building plumbing system, in the neighborhood, or worse further out there.
So, just a quick reminder. And store those water containers out of the sunlight.

Wood gas stove DIY
I just finished a few wood gas stoves and was planning on posting the process here. The photos are still on my laptop, but I will be updating with a more detailed step by step soon. What took me so long to put it together was salvaging for the parts since I did not want to spend any money on this. In the end I still had to buy a drill bit and gasket material...still it cost me a little less than $5 which is pretty good. Meanwhile, here is a quick 3D of the project.
FYI a wood gas stove is a simple 2 step burner which first burns wood, then collects the gas emitted by the burning wood into a chamber for a secondary burn. The result is significantly less smoke with much more heat efficiency than just a plain wood stove

A fellow bloggers home raided-with no warrant, as expected
A sad state of affairs in our country. Here is an account of on civilian's house being assaulted by our new militarized police-knowingly without a warrant. The civilian had asked on more than one occasion for a warrant but was treated with neglect-as if he was just some crazed lunatic asking for something which was unrelated to the situation unraveling in his home-in front of his wife and kids.

FEMA camps now being staffed in the US
Fema camps now looking for staffing
Here is another link to the actual KBR doc
This is crazy. Things are spiraling downwards right now and we are all so unaware. This is a request for proposal for services to staff up the Fema camps that have been built/retrofitted by the federal government. The copy of the letter was found by InfoWars.com crew, a key piece for the alternative media resource that gives us info otherwise censored by the big media corporations. Think it sounds crazy? It is, but that does not mean it's not real. Think for a second, if this is real, what are the consequences of it. A lot of readers out there do not give a second thought to these kinds of things, but look back just a few years or a few decades. The government does lie, the government does conspire. They told us the economy was nothing to be concerned about-meanwhile the bankers and chumps at Wall street prepared to get their dollars out to safety. There are crazy things out there, this is just one of them.
A little bit about the document, it divides the US into 5 zones. It lists down required provisions for:
Food
Fencing
Handwash and sanitation
Medical services
Office facilities
Water supply
Power supply
Refuse Collection
Shower and toilet units
Tents
Waste removal
Imagine what the government has intended these for. A year ago they had put out a similar request for bidders for tons and tons of freeze dried food. I forget the numbers, this was also from Fema. I know this is a fact because I saw my regular suppliers stop selling to regular guys like myself. They were fully booked shipping all their stuff to Fema. The guys in office are preparing for something, and they will keep telling us there is nothing to worry about.
