CB Radio Slang

Posted in: Communications | | 2 Comments »

In EOTW times amateur, HAM and CB radio will become much more popular than it is today. It may be the only way of communicating using modern terms. Until then you can practice talking on the CB radio using these popular slang terms.

Popular terms for law enforcement officers
• “Bear” – a law officer. The terms “Smokey” & “Bear” are both direct references to Smokey Bear, a character image commonly seen along U.S. highways. He wears a flat-brimmed forest ranger’s hat very similar to the hat included in many highway patrol uniforms in the U.S.
• “Bear Cave” / “Bear’s Den” / “Bear’s Lair” – a police station.
• “Bear / Smokey in a plain brown wrapper” – a law officer in an unmarked police car. The term “plain white wrapper” is sometimes used, depending on the color of the vehicle.
• “Bear in the air” / “Fly in the sky” / “Spy in the sky” – a police aircraft. While state police often use fixed-wing airplanes to monitor highway traffic, “fly” refers specifically to a helicopter.
• “Bear in the grass” / “Smokey in the bush” – a speed trap. (more…)

The Future? Wheat shortages foreshadow

Posted in: Food Storage | | 2 Comments »

While a major story, many Americans have not heard about the soaring cost of wheat and other commodities. It’s only in the check out line do they realize the hit on their budgets. Is a recession “coming”? No, we are waist deep in a recession. The problem is that mainstream America refuses to acknowledge it. That is until they reach the bread aisle and notice the rising cost of bread, thanks to an international wheat shortage.

“If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” –Samuel Adams

Food and Water

Posted in: Food & Water | | No Comments »

Food and water are the most essential necessities in any survival situation. Although a comprehensive food storage plan is preferred, if you do not have the resources to start one right now there are things you can buy now that you will thank yourself for in the event of an unexpected emergency. You can easily protect your family by purchasing low cost, easy to store water purification and food resources.MRE Meals Ready to Eat

We all know the human body can sustain much longer without food than it ever could with water. Water is the lifeblood of your system and is the absolute most important ingredient to any survival plan. Storing water purification tablets enables you to guarantee drinkable water from any water source without the need to store large quantities of bottled water.

For food, the most cost effective and vitamin packed source of food storage is the high-calorie food bar. Compact and easily stored these energy bars have can sustain an average adult for a 24 hour period.

It’s cheap and easy to purchase these items now, but waiting until disaster strikes to try to run out and buy what you need is one of the biggest mistakes people make. Even if you can’t afford a lot, start your survival kit now by stocking it with the basics (food and water) and add to it from there.
