Eating Expired foods is a topic that comes up often in the survival community. Some of you are terrified of the though. Others, like myself, could care less. Eating expired food is not a worry of mine for several reasons. Some personal reasons and some proven science.

Before we get into the meat of this article I have a few warnings. First a disclaimer. I’m no doctor. I am not advising you to eat expired food. I present this article as information. I will share some studies, personal experience and thoughts. Do with it what you will.

Cold Weather Gear At Home

James Burnette 2 Comments

This is a subject that has really hit home for me. The tiny house is no ice box but can get pretty cold. With the plummeting temps keeping warm inside is a real problem. Having the right cold weather gear is important.  Running the heaters, a small electric one and a small kerosene, all the time is not possible. The Kerosene is being saved for especially cold nights. The electric one gets ran in short blocks of time. Usually in the morning. The sun warms up the house enough during the day time.

How do I make it through the nights and evening time? What cold weather Gear do I use to make life more survivable and comfortable? Let me share with you what I use.

I thought about a quote yesterday. I was going to put it on the Survivalpunk Facebook page. I still might. I thought was profound enough to make a blog post on it though. What’s the best way to protect your 2nd amendment rights? Teach a liberal to shoot. Instill the joy of shooting.

Some of you might be yelling at the computer screen. Some think I have lost it. Think what I’m saying is crazy? Think it’s impossible? Are you saying you can’t make a liberal love shooting? You are wrong. I have seen countless examples. I have done my part in helping spread the art of shooting. I have come to love shooting. I’m no liberal by any means. Now anyway. Why is it the most important way to protect the second amendment? How can you teach a liberal to shoot? Let me help.
