Thanks. I get a little bit frustrated sometimes when the people I love don't want to take action and start prepping. Not for the end of the world, just in a prudent way for whatever life throws at us... large or small. Thanks for what you are doing to educate the populous. This should be a wakeup call for everyone.

]]> Comment on San Diego Preppers by Ed http://california.preppersnetwork.com/2012/04/san-diego-preppers.html#comment-221 Ed Mon, 23 Apr 2012 17:10:24 +0000 http://california.preppersnetwork.com/?p=285#comment-221 Hi, my name is Ed. I have something I think a lot a preppers may be interested in but have no idea how to get it to them. I have available thousands of PreCast Concrete Reinforced Pipes. They range in size from 18" Diameter to 84' Diameter. They are 8' long. These are NEW UNUSED INVENTORY. I can sell this material for ONE DOLLAR PER INCH!! That means a 18" pipe for only $18 all the way up to and 84" pipe for ONLY $84. If you have ever priced reinforced precast pipe you know the price of 84" pipe is in the thousands of dollars. What I am looking for is someone with enough money (and a place to store this material) so we can make it available to preppers. This 84" pipe is awesome for cistrines, underground storage bunkers or shelters. Smaller sizes can be used for arms caches, food storage etc. This material WILL NOT LAST, so we really need to act fast. I have an arrangment with a demolition contractor that is in the process of demolishing a major SoCal pre-cast processing plant. The yard currently has 1000s of pieces of this material. If anyone out there has any idea of someone that may be able to take advantage of this situation please give me a call 951-491-4284 or email me at eamennig@yahoo.com Hi, my name is Ed.

I am a BRAND NEW Prepper so it's overwhelming for me to consider other things to prep other than just food & water. Pardon my lack of knowledge here, anyway how would one acquire a Gold Bar these days? Do I purchase from my local bank or trade a certain amount of money through my bank essentially purchasing a gold bar or gold coins? Looking forward to receiving informative responses.

]]> Comment on Zero Water Filters – just got this email from the company by Travis http://california.preppersnetwork.com/2011/04/zero-water-filters-just-got-this-email.html#comment-216 Travis Sun, 11 Mar 2012 02:05:01 +0000 http://california.preppersnetwork.com/?p=171#comment-216 I am a chemist and I work in the water treatment industry. I had to throw in my two cents on Zero Water. When they say zero water is 'zero' they are correct. It removes all suspended and dissolved solid from the water. When those dissolved solids are removed, it drops the conductance of the water to 'zero', hence the name. It is true that they use ion exchange to a degree in the nuclear industry, however the water that is filtered is not used for drinking. It is used as supply water for generating steam. If the water had any dissolved solids, like calcium or magnesium, they would precipitate onto heat transfer surfaces and create scale and eventual equipment failures. I would NOT recommend ever using a product like zero water for normal drinking water. First off, pure water is extremely corrosive. True, the pH of pure water is 7, or neutral. However pure water does not like being pure. It will immediate begin the process of absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and when CO2 becomes 'wet' it breaks down to carbonic acid. This drops the pH of the zero water to 5 or 6... this is horrible for your teeth, (this is also why global warming by way of CO2 is impossible, moisture in the atmosphere absorbs CO2 and produces acid rain). Not to mention the fact that the purified water will absorb minerals in your stomach and blood stream rather than deliver minerals as does normal well or municipal supplied water. Basically, you could create a health problem for yourself by drinking this. What you could do if your hell bent on using this thing... is buy some powdered calcium carbonate and add a small amount to the purified water immediately after filtration. This will buffer the pH and keep the water from being aggressive to your innards. What I would recommend is to chlorinate your water, then filter with activated carbon. The carbon will remove all organics and chlorine from the water. This of course will not work for radioactive isotopes, but then I would recommend an RO, (reverse osmosis) and add CaCO3 to the permeate to buffer the pH. Or, you could use the zero water... but if memory serves, one zero water cartridge will only filter something like 25 gallons. An RO will do several thousand gallons and the membrane can be removed and cleaned to be reused. I am a chemist and I work in the water treatment industry.

It absolutely was not appealing, but they claimed the meat was good. There was a lot of gelatin from the fats. I plan on adding this to my stockpile too.

I realized I can can these meats myself. And so I do. You just need a pressure canner, jars and your meat and you're all set. There are great websites to walk you through the steps. It's very simple. and a whole lot cheaper. You can add your own spices or not. Good Luck I was buying canned chicken, beef, pork and even bacon, and then duh!!
