I was contacted by the great folks at Nuts.com to share an infographic on Spirulina. You may have never heard of Spirulina before now. Or you may not be aware of all the health benefits of this superfood.
Spirulina is a blue-green algae packed with vitamins and minerals. I have come across spirulina often for it’s weight loss benefits. As a prep and a weight loss benefit Spirulina is excellent. Check out the infographic below to learn more about it.

This week our main topic is all about dealing with an ankle injury. What can seem to be a very minor issue, especially now, can be life threatening during a collapse. Making even the tiniest choir into a heavy burden.
I recently had my worst ankle injury. Coming down out of a tree I rolled it completely sideways. At first I thought it was not that bad since I limped inside. Now more than a week later it is still not completely healed. I employed many tactics to get it healed enough to walk. Even still I was completely incapacitated for almost 4 days.
If for some reason I had needed to bug out on foot during that time I would have been screwed. Using crutches wearing a pack is not something I care to do.
We briefly mention looking into mobility work to strengthen the feet to reduce the risk of rolled ankles. Prevention is the better option here. If you do suffer an ankle injury you WILL be down a few days. Period.
Have any suggestion drop them in the comments below.

This week Mike and I finally talk about Bug Out Bags. We discuss some pitfalls by newbies to survival. I begin with the philosophy used to build all my kits. I use the 10 c’s of survival to build my kits. Those being Cutting, Combustion, Cover, Container, Cordage, Candle, Cotton, Compass, Cargo Tape and Canvas Needle.
The biggest priority being on your Survival knife. All others can be crafted in the wild. Making a good knife in the bush is not an easy task.
