He gives lots of good advice....

"Dear NaturalNews readers,

As the world seems to be getting crazier with each passing day, we're getting hammered with requests to offer more preparedness solutions.

So in this email, I'm sharing a collection of tips that can mean a world of difference in any kind of emergency scenario: Natural disasters, nuclear accident, social unrest, collapse of the dollar, etc.

Tip #1: The very best item for light + defense

People who know me also know that I always carry a flashlight. It's clipped into my pocket all the time so that I'm never without a source of light. But this particular flashlight, which I'm about to reveal here, is also a physical defense item because it has a "crusher" metal rim that can be used to beat back an attacker, if needed. The light is solidly built and runs on a CR123A battery (commonly available).

It's an LED light, so the bulb is virtually breakable. It's also super bright, putting out an astonishing 200 lumens of light. And yet, it's small enough to carry in your pocket 24/7. I've carried mine through South America, Central America and North America. It has never failed and has stood the test of time. The construction and engineering are superb.

What flashlight is it? It's the E2D LED Defender from Surefire. It's available on Amazon and many camping websites. It's expensive, but you only have to buy it once. It's rugged and reliable. I recommend this as my No. 1 "preparedness" flashlight. Here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/SureFire-E2D-LED-Lumens-E2DL-BK/dp/B001QU6RTQ

Be sure to stock up on CR123A batteries, too. Amazon.com sells a pack of Tenergy CR123A batteries that cost less than a buck each. Yeah, that's major savings, because the same batteries can cost $4 - $5 if you buy them at retail stores. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Tenergy-Lithium-Batteries-capacity-1300mAh/dp/B000OD7178/

Tip #2: The five best practical skills to master right now

What are the top skills for preparedness and survival? After reviewing numerous books on preparedness and survival, I've come to the conclusion that the top five skills to master are:

1) Foraging. How to find food in the wild, or turn weeds into a meal. (There's food all around you!)

2) Welding. Let's you repair and build all sorts of important things. 

3) Sewing and clothing repair. Shoe repair is also extremely valuable.

4) Barter. Crucial skill set for getting by when the dollar is long gone.

5) Food storage. Do you know how to store the products from your own garden? Canning, drying, salting and freezing... 

Each of these skills is not only valuable to you and your family, but also valuable in trade with others. Lots of people will need their shoes repaired, for example. But very few people know how to repair shoes... (in our throwaway society, we just buy a new pair!)

Tip #3: What's the No. 1 source for emergency vitamins and live foods? Sprouts!

Yes, if you have sprout seeds and water, you can literally "grow" your own live food vitamins, even without sunlight or soil! That's why I think every preparedness list should include a seed sprouter and a collection of sprouting seeds.

We offer the Easy Green Sprouter at the NN store (click here for the sprouter page). You can also find it at Amazon and other retailers. BTW, you can also sprout seeds using nothing more than a glass jar and a sprouting lid, if you want to do it on a small scale. You don't really need fancy equipment to sprout seeds, unless you're trying to do it on a larger scale.

Tip #4: Get your "Economic Survival" squared away

Are you ready for the coming collapse of the dollar? In this three-hour audio series, I join Robert Scott Bell in providing the strategies and tips you need to economically insulate yourself from what I call "the coming economic storm."

This three-hour course includes a downloadable PDF action document and a PowerPoint presentation to go along with the audio. Recorded LIVE on March 20th, and available now with instant access through Webseed.com (click here).

Tip #5: Storable superfoods

The typical storable foods (MREs and camping foods) are loaded with junk ingredients and chemical additives. Most are made with textured soy protein (yuck). I'm not sure I could even live on that stuff.

How do you get actual superfood nutrition in a long-term storable format? To answer that question, I created www.StorableOrganics.com where we pack long-term storable superfoods and organic foods so that you have some serious nutrition on the shelf in case there's an emergency situation.

We haven't even announced this on the website yet, and we've already sold out of the storable chlorella (for at least a month). But we do have storable spirulina and other superfoods available right now, and yes, this is the American-grown spirulina from Hawaii. It's packed in #10 cans (that's a number-ten can, not a ten-pound can, just FYI) that are mouse-proof.

Inside the cans, we use a BPA-free bag that insulates the spirulina from the enamel liner of the steel can. So your superfood never touches the can lining.

The shelf life is 8+ years if kept cool. That's almost a decade with some superfood nutrition on the shelf that you can turn to in a crisis.

Find our storable spirulina and other long-term storable superfoods by clicking here.

BTW, even though we're sold out of regular chlorella, we do have herb-infused chlorella tablets packed into two #10 cans. This collection features a total of 10,000 chlorella tablets infused with various herbs (Ginkgo, Ashwagandha, Turmeric, Tribulus, etc.) in two sealed steel cans. This is a unique collection that has never been offered anywhere else, especially not in a long-term storable format. Click here for details.

Also: Coming soon...

We have a new food security preparedness seminar coming out soon, featuring myself (Health Ranger) and Robert Scott Bell. In addition, we've filmed Daniel Vitalis in a "Surthrival" course that teaches all sorts of practical, real-world skills and items that can help you through any challenging scenario. That's coming soon to Webseed.com, the new how-to video empowerment platform.

Watch for those courses in the weeks ahead. In the mean time, we'll keep posting news and stories on NaturalNews.com that cover Fukushima, the collapsing U.S. dollar, GMOs, the food supply, the radical weather events and much more.

Please stay safe! The world needs you to stick around to help rebuild...

Here Are Some Disturbing Facts:
After 10 days with no food, 90% of people will steal, pillage and kill. •But worse, within 15 days, severe hunger transforms ordinary people into savage human flesh eaters.
During the siege of Leningrad, having a crust of bread was living high on the food chain. Eating rats and even wallpaper to survive was common. Most Americans think it’s crazy to believe it could ever happen here.
In the 1950s, the Pentagon conducted a study to find out what people would do at different stages of starvation.
After just 10 days without food, 90% of people will steal, pillage and kill for food. But after a mere 15 days, almost all human beings becomes a cannibal.

But think about it, in a long-term food shortage, you may not eat for days, possibly weeks. After just one week without food, hunger will be gnawing away at a person’s stomach like a crazed rat.

Right now, the entire world is facing challenges never before seen in modern history. Droughts and other natural disasters have decimated crops in America’s heartland. Many of the crops that have survived are being shipped off to foreign shores. Worst of all, we’re now more dependent than we’ve ever been (in the US) on imported food from third world countries!
All it would take is another “False Flag” operation... hyperinflation... or an oil crisis to yank the rug out from under America’s food supply. Not to mention a CME or other EMP, an asteroid collision, or escalating earth changes prior to a close passage of a brown dwarf.
And when that happens, the clock will start ticking ...
Day 1 – There’s mayhem at the grocery stores. People are fighting over the last few jars and boxes of food. Fights break out.
Day 2 - People still have food in their homes. They eat lightly. Everybody is on edge.
Day 5 - Now people begin to run out of food. Neighbors come knocking. “Do you mind if we eat with you?” {Reminds me of that song, "I hear you knocking, but you can't come in....}
Day 10 - Small bands of armed thieves are making their rounds, stealing food at gunpoint. You hear gunshots down the street. {Personally, I don't think it's going to take 10 days in the cities. I think several at the most.}
Day 15 - People are dying. The neighbors you thought you knew so well have become strangers to you. They’re not acting normal anymore. People are desperate. But the government can’t help because there’s no food left!
The average family will starve. Millions will die.
If the scenario above sounds shocking, look no further than America’s Great Depression for proof that hunger can visit this land. Millions of families went hungry during the last Great Depression – and that was when people were self-sufficient!
In fact, in 1940, after the depression ended, the population in the U.S. was projected to be around 142 million. But after the census was actually taken it was revealed to be only 132 million. We know 3 million left the country. But what happened to 7 million very hungry people? How many actually died? No one seems to know.
It’s easy to forget the lessons of history. It was just a scant 80 years ago that hunger ravaged the land INSIDE the United States! Except back then, most people grew their own crops and were self-sufficient. Today, almost no one is self-sufficient. During the last Depression, folks helped each other out. Today, they'll kill you over a pair of basketball shoes. Or run over pregnant women to beat them to the last can of tuna on the shelf.
Any slight hiccup in the food distribution system and Americans would feel it immediately. The casualties could literally run into the tens of millions. The scary part of a food shortage isn't calculating projected "death toll" statistics. It’s what people will do when they begin to starve.
You see, when people don’t have food to eat, it doesn’t take long for desperation to set in. Desperation leads people to do desperate things. For instance, the early American colonists who lived in Jamestown resorted to cannibalism during the “Starving Time” of 1609-1610. In fact, they dug up corpses for food! {Mmmm, mmmm good! as the commercial proclaims. Oh wait, wrong ad. That's for Campbell soup, not Cannibal Stew.}

And in the year 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, looters emptied shelves faster than anybody ever imagined. A visitor to New Orleans compared the chaos to a war zone. “It’s downtown Baghdad,” she said.
Of course, food shortages have happened all over the world and all throughout history. For instance, the Old Testament talks of a great famine in Samaria. During that time two women made a pact to boil their sons and eat them. So the first woman boiled her son, and the two women ate him. But the next day, the second woman refused to boil her son. And in that same Bible story, we learn that a donkey’s head fetched 80 pieces of silver, while dove’s dung – quite literally bird poop, meant for food – fetched 5 pieces of silver. In today’s money, that means the cost of a little bird poop to starving people fetched about $90. {Think "cottage industry" here.}
•This is the reality of famine and starvation.
•This is what happens when you don’t have food for more than a few weeks.
•This is what happens when the food system collapses and you are unprepared.

GOT FOOD?

Can't afford food storage? Then get some books on eating wild edible plants, growing rabbits or guinea pigs and/or catfish in a barrel, trapping small animals, and how to cook insects. Go natural. It will keep you alive.

Two articles, listed below. San Bruno is on top of the San Andreas fault.

This also raises the question, how does one prepare for such an event?

Short of you and/or your family and home being blown up initially, it is survivable. First, just like with earthquake preparedness, you should educate your family on the now increasing MULTIPLE types of disasters that can happen. Have your bug-out bags packed and ready to go. Make sure you have a burn kit in your medical kit. Pre-plan where you will go if your house is destroyed or threatened,where you will regroup if separated. Having a pre-supplied retreat is the best, but Grandma's farm or a friend out in the country can also be pre-supplied.

My theory, posted last night, soon after the explosion, seems to be correct. Earth rumblings DID break the gas main, causing the San Bruno inferno! Major earthquakes may be about to erupt SOON around San Francisco!
That gas main was just yards away from the San Andreas Fault! Please see yesterday's two postings, appended below:
"Gas Main Broken Due to Earth Rumblings!" AND
"Look for San Francisco Pre-Earthquake Signs, Now!"

> The first few slides suggest that gas burst from the ground and and ignited. Earthquakes and ground rumblings can easily break gas mains, just as they have been breaking water mains all over the country. People, realize that these earth rumblings are rapidly intensifying, so we must unite to alert the people to plan ahead to protect themselves from these proliferating disasters. A massive brown dwarf star is approaching our inner Solar System, exerting gravitational and electromagnetic influences upon the core, mantle, and crust of our planet. The closer this brown dwarf star comes to us, the larger and more widespread will be the resulting natural disasters.
