FYI: There are a number of websites, blogs, and books available to help you prepare yourself and your family for surviving a disaster.

 

Among the sites is http://survivalcache.com which has an interesting blog that addresses putting together your BOB while on a tight budget....Click on the following link to read: "Bug Out Bag" - The 7 Types of Gear You Must Have to Survive http://survivalcache.com/bug-out-bag/

A Bug Out Bag, (also called a BOB, Get Out of Dodge Bag, GOOD, or 72 Hour Bag) is usually designed to get you out of an emergency situation and allow you to survive self-contained for up to 3 days. A lot of people plan their Bug Out Bag to sustain them for much longer than that, but there is always a limit to what you can carry on your back and a 3 day target is a good place to start. Here are the 7 basic types of gear you will need for your Bug Out Bag:

Special Showing of "Fracknation: A Journalist's Search for Fracking Truth" on Feb. 27th at 7:00

TPPofMC will be showing the newly released feature documentary "Fracknation: A Journalist's Search for the Fracking Truth" on Wednesday, February 27, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. in the Community Room of the Marina Public Library located at 190 Seaside Circle in Marina (behind WalMart).

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the movie starting at 7:00 p.m.

Open to the public.  Free (donations appreciated)

In FrackNation journalist Phelim McAleer faces threats, cops and bogus lawsuits questioning green extremists for the truth about fracking. McAleer uncovers fracking facts suppressed by environmental activists, and he talks with rural Americans whose livelihoods are at risk if fracking is banned. Emotions run high but the truth runs deep.

FrackNation was made after Phelim McAleer confronted GASLANDfilmmaker Josh Fox at a Q&A in Chicago. McAleer asked Fox about instances of water being lit on fire well before fracking occurred in America and why he didn’t include that information in GASLAND. Fox said the information “wasn’t relevant.” McAleer disagreed and put their exchange on YouTube. Fox sued to have it removed. That’s when McAleer realized there was more to the story of fracking than Josh Fox was letting on.

FrackNation was funded by 3,305 backers on Kickstarter who generously donated $212,265 to have us investigate the truth about fracking. All funds from oil and gas companies or their executives were explicitly rejected. FrackNation is a film by the people, for the people.

The NY Times says the following about "Fracknation":

If your only exposure to hydraulic fracturing, or fracking — the process of extracting natural gas from shale — has been Josh Fox’s alarming documentary, “Gasland,” then “FrackNation” would like your attention. Claiming that Mr. Fox’s chilling conclusions are misleading at best, Phelim McAleer and his fellow directors, Ann McElhinney and Magdalena Segieda, attempt to prove that shale gas just might be “the miracle of the 21st century.” -- Jeannette Catsoulis
