Well, I have been in Africa for the past few weeks.  On the flight from Africa to Amsterdam I was starting to feel a little rough.  As I though was a good idea, I let the flight attendant know of my situation.  Next thing I know, they are contacting ground control, the company I was working for and the FAA in the city I was to land at in the US.  I was removed from the plane and had to get a medical clearance to travel - AHHHHHHHH So here I am 4 hours later.  Bowels still a rumbling from some...

As I mentioned in my blast yesterday, the siwne flu has reached the US and according to the World Health Organization, has the potential to become a Pandemic. I hope this concerns you as an Urbansurvivalsecrets reader. For those who do not understand the ramifications of the pandemic lable, let me explain. A pandemic is a worldwide outbreak of a virus/disease.  It has the ability to literally wipe out large numbers of people.  An epidemic, it typically a localized issue.  Both have nasty cons...

Hey Gang Its been a bit.  I have been getting ready to go to Africa on business for the past few weeks, not to mention having to travel to Oregon and Colorado. As you have heard, there is a new flu virus - swine flu.  What is scary is the fact that it is it has a few strains of avian and human flu viruses.  What can you do?  First, watch what is going on TV/Radio.  Monitor the Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov/swineflu) Second:  Avoid travel to Mexico, T...

Hey All: I was speaking with a friend who was telling me about a method of gardening called the Square Foot Gardening which produces about 3 times as much as regular row gardening. What’s awesome about this is that you are able to constantly harvest and replant all within a decent sized container no deeper than 6 inches! It does take a special soil mix which is not too hard to put together. He states that he feels guilty as to how productive and easy the garden is! Especially since he... Read Full Story

The G20 - great now more countries are involved with the new world order.  As if I could not even comprehend this 15 years ago when I was discussing this concept with a former intelligence officer.  Face Facts: 1. Obama has no spine in world politics - a VERY WEAK LEADER IN OFFICE 2. More concerned about himself in the world view than here! 3. He is listening to that Socialist crackpot president from Brazil (interesting interview on CNN March 29th) 4. He calls the greatest country in the worl... Read Full Story

Thank goodness that I have a filter for approving comments prior to posting. In the last 2 days, I have had 36 nudie spams - argh!  Then some moron who is posting for a medical assistant training center.  Nuttin about survival there, unless you are a stay at home jerker…  Now back to our regular program. So, how is the economy treating you lately?  Have you been able to put some $$ away for a rainy day - like $20 a month?  What is your food storage like. I recieved an email from Bob in ...

Ugh - without reading the stimulus bill, our congress and president passed and signed it - what a bunch of morons! fact is that it is going to cost us forever and a few generations after the Apocalypse! What is an urban survivalist to do? 1. Spend wisely. IF you need it, buy it. If you want it and dont need it, don’t buy it. If you are going to buy it, buy the best you can afford - simple in practice, hard in reality. 2. Budget to live within your means. When you budget your money... Read Full Story

Here at the Urban Survival Secrets compound, we get way too much email, spam and snail mail.  It comes from friends, relations and relatives.  Some good, some not so good.  One I received yesterday is worth rephrasing and sharing.  What does this have to do with survival you may ask?  it is about letting government know that their pathetic tax package and stimulus package is BS and is killing your wallet! A Teabag Like you, I am an honest, law abiding citizen! I get u... Read Full Story

Over the past 24 hours, life has been hectic around the Urban Survival Secrets compound.  You see, the bank had decieded reduce our credit lines without discussing it with us.  All because I have one late card payment due to a scum client who bounced a large check to me.  Talk about a domino effect! Fortunately, my banker and bank manager jumped on it and corrected the situation.  What happened, I had some advance checks with a 6 month, 0 percent interest rate.  We took advantage of this to p...

Well, the Dems are at it again!  Now they are wanting to impose the Assault Rifle Ban.  You heard it. They have the audacity to say that they are assisting the Mexican Government with the Gun Wars.  And Pres Obama is having his watch dog Rahm Emmanual heat this up. Folks, gun control is gun control.  I do understand the thought.  However, just as in Russia/Soviet Union,  first the guns are controlled, then the food, then the people - the perfect path to socialism. First it was House Bill 45, ... Read Full Story
