Hi Friends,
If you are a "Prepper" or not, you would do well to read this fine, informational article! I studied and read such stuff about 40 years ago, after I got home from South East Asia--RVN...Ha! I just felt that I NEEDED to learn about many things that might help me in later life, also butchering when I 'harvested' fresh meat and game. I already had a 'green thumb' like Jack and the Bean stalk, and tons of farm experience, and dreamt of being a 'rich farmer.' I was also into Fasting to cleanse my body and heal it, too. I quit smoking everything in 1972, and it was the best thing I ever did ---besides "finding the Lord" [or Him finding me...] later in life, after I got trapped/ sucked into a false religious cult... the JW-cult for 22 years, but at least I learned the OT [Old Testament] well, etc. I had to meet and make new friends after that, but go figure --- that the 'old' messed up "friends" at the 'Wisdom Hole' were not really friends to start with. So... all of those years since than until now, and beyond were spent in serious, in depth study and sharing of the KJV Bible, and not some 'doctored up translation' to support some Society's false precepts/ ideas. And I am not trying or intending to hurt or disparage ANYONE individual, except that certain false Organizations get rich and also mislead millions of good folks looking for the REAL TRUTH... sorry. Or NOT sorry [for sharing the real Truth of the KJV and a few other good translations... I said a FEW! But please allow me to share one scripture with you today: "For whatsoever things were written afortime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." ---Romans 15: 4.
For some odd reason, I feel much better lately and cannot find anything to complain about... LOL ! The weather is rainy and cloudy, but we can always use the rain to make the plants and small garden grow, and I have the find company of my pretty wife, Loretta [Lori] in watching a few movies, etc. I am eating less then ever, and today... some lean pork, carrots, potatoes and Sauer KRAUT! I eat what I want, but I just cannot eat as much -- and I don't care to eat that much. So... one or two small meals per day. However, for me to accomplish all of this it takes self control and the H.S. [Holy Spirit]. So what are the 'fruits of the Spirit' again?? Visit: Galatians 5: 22. Ha! How many of you will 'make the time' to look them up? OK, I am busy/ also lazy too...LOL. "Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance..." 9 of them. Have a great day!
Army Hugs, Warm Regards,

14 Reasons to Start Stockpiling Vinegar Right Now!
14 Reasons to Start Stockpiling Vinegar Right Now!
Need a break from our Weed Week here, at Final Prepper?
Ok, let’s talk vinegar. Or what happens when wine goes bad. Or, as we preppers like to call it, the stuff that dreams are made of (and for a darn good reason).
Remember when we were kids, and our moms used to tell us to wash the carpets with water and vinegar? Yeah, the aroma alone was enough to send an elephant to the ICU but, surprisingly enough, everything smelled like brand-new afterward. And because I hated doing the carpets and upholstery as a kid, I did my best to stay as far away from that stuff as possible. Big mistake!
Anyway, vinegar does not only go well in salad dressing or to clean various household objects but has many other purposes. And since we simply cannot ignore the fact that vinegar’s just as useful around the house like baking soda and rock salt, I’ve decided to write this not-so-short and an awesome piece on how you can take full advantage of the ghost of wine past in an SHTF situation.
So, without further ado, here are 14 reasons why every prepper should stockpile as much vinegar as possible.
I’m not kidding you when I say that those damned things were everywhere – windshield, side windows. There’s was even one on the left tail light. Anyway, the dealer offered a pretty good bargain, and apart from the stickers, the car was otherwise in great shape.
Now, if you somehow wound up in the same situation as me, forget about WD 40 or sprays for bumper sticker removal. Put two tablespoons of vinegar in a bucket of water and pour over the area covered in stickers.
Wait a couple of minutes and then use an ice scraper to remove the sticker. It works like a charm, and the sticker will come off without leaving any glue marks on the window. You can also try it on decals – same recipe, but repeat the process three times for good results.
Now, in order to get rid of the itchiness, mix water and four teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass. Use this mixture to wash your face and rinse with clean water. This also helps the tissue heal faster and prevents the icky stuff from spreading.
In a tall water glass, put four teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, and one teaspoon of vegetable glycerin. Shake and leave it be for a couple of minutes.
In the meantime, wash the wart and the surrounding area with soap and clean water and dry off with a towel. Dap both the wart and the area around it with betadine or another disinfectant.
Now, soak a gauze in the vinegar+water+glycerin mixture and clean the warty area. Do these two or three times a day. By the end of the second day, you’ll see that the wart begins to shrink. Continue the treatment until the bulge disappears. You’re welcome!
Here’s what you’ll need to do – get some moisture into your hair and add two squirts of vinegar. Massage your scalp and wait at least five minutes. Rinse with plenty of water. Finish up with regular shampoo or conditioner.
Bear in mind that depending on your type of hair and skin you may need to repeat this process. I myself had to wash my hair three times a week with vinegar and shampoo for two weeks before I got rid of dandruff.
Now, if you really haven’t the time nor the money for the vet, because shit happens, put one teaspoon of vinegar in a glass of water and use this mixt to wash your dog’s fur (haven’t tested it on my cats ‘cause, you know cats and waters really don’t mix). Wait for at least a couple of hours before rinsing with plenty of water.
Now, in case you have issues controlling that blood sugar level, drink a glass of water mixed with two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar. Please keep in mind that this is only a short-term solution, which means that you will still need to take your prescription meds and use insulin if there are bigger variations.
In order to free up a mechanism that simply refuses to budge on account of the rust, take out all the moving parts and soak them overnight in water and vinegar. Take out, allow them to dry, and reassemble the mechanism. If there’s still friction, take it apart again and repeat the procedure.
Here’s how to get rid of candle wax fast and easy – use a hair drier to heat up the wax. Mix water and vinegar in a small bowl. Use this concoction to scrub the area.
In searching for ways to get rid of dirt and pesticides from veggies fast, I stumbled upon this little prepper’s trick which involves the use of apple cider vinegar and baking soda. I can state for the fact that it works – even the taste’s different.
Here’s how to do it – fill your sink with clean and cold water (don’t forget about the plug). Add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and one tablespoon of baking soda. Now place your veggies inside and let them soak for at least 15 minutes. Drain the water, rinse with cold water, and enjoy a pesticide-free veggies dinner.
Anyway, grab the biggest mason jar you find around the house and use a nail or your survival knife to poke a couple of holes in the lid. Bear in mind that these holes must be big enough for the flies to pass through. Fill the jar halfway with apple cider vinegar and place on the kitchen counter. Attracted by the sweet smell, the flies will go inside and drown.
There’s a way to get rid of those callouses and, of course, the not-so-great smell that goes along with them. Before hitting the sack, fill the bathtub with warm water. Add two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and soak your feet for at least 20 minutes. I personally prefer to add a little bit of Epsom salts – they’re very soothing for the skin and prevents crackling.
