Are you tired of being called a ‘fear monger’ or ‘alarmist’ because you want your loved ones to be prepared in a crisis? Bill and Brian discuss that very point on Off The Grid Radio today. Also, Bill Heid’s explanation of why our situation today is vastly different from that which the founding fathers faced in the late 18th century.
A new bill has been making its way through the United States Senate and it is controversial … a true tinderbox issue. It is so “hot,” in fact, that it is causing consternation and anger on both sides of the political aisle. And it’s no wonder … The bill in question, when and if passed,

We lived on the Mississippi coastline when Hurricane Frederic came through in 1979. Although we had everything we needed, my husband thought we should pick up a few more batteries, just in case. When we got to the store, there was a line over a hundred feet long just to get into the store. When

New York likes to consider itself a capital of culture and one of the nation’s shining lights. Unfortunately, now it’s becoming the capital of a new kind of culture – the deadbeat culture. New York can’t pay its bills. The state legislature, facing a statewide shutdown of critical public services, has been attempting to respond

If you’re going to make it through the winter in a cold climate, you’re going to need heat. Now if you plan to make it living off the grid without gas, propane, fuel oil, or electricity, you’re going to need a pretty darn good wood stove. I know, I know—it’s summertime and hot as can

I think by now many of us are getting the sense that things are not recovering in the economy as quickly as we had hoped and as the mainstream media reported it would. Each week we read that yet another company is laying off hundreds if not thousands of employees, adding to the already double-digit

The idea for this article came from a strawberry. You might very well wonder what a strawberry has to do with relationships, and you would be justified in asking. Right now it’s June—the perfect time for harvesting plump, delicious berries from the garden or buying them from the local farmer’s market. It was while I

Anytime the NRA and the ACLU are wearing the same color jersey, there is definitely a constitutional right being violated somewhere in America. In this case the culprit is the DISCLOSE Act, which ironically is an acronym for “Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections.” The DISCLOSE Act does no such thing;

When disaster strikes, whether from a terrorist act, fire, tornadoes, or hurricanes, it is important to be prepared. What about those who are visually impaired? It certainly puts a whole new spin to preparation. There are many people without others to help them, who deal with their special needs every day. Disaster can be a

With society’s ever-changing moral and political compass, parents are finding themselves facing children who are less connected to family; more self-absorbed; and increasingly accepting of the idea that government is the giver of all goods, directives and quality of life. Our public schools encourage mediocrity by lowering the bar on expectations for learning and moral

For many years, Americans have enjoyed basic freedoms like freedom of speech... freedom to choose how they spend their money... and freedom to travel without restriction. But with each passing year, we see the rapid erosion of these freedoms. As power-hungry politicians become more brazen in their pursuit of total control, our freedoms are becoming more tightly restricted -- or, in some cases, legislated away entirely. For proof, look at what’s happened during the last few years...
The Amazing "Aztec Super-Food" Used By Top Survivalists For Mission-Critical Strength And Endurance!In the remote Copper Canyons of the Mexican state of Chihuahua, the isolated tribe of Tarahumara Indians is known for a remarkable feat. They run! They run hundreds of miles … without injury and without rest. Their legendary endurance puts gold medal Olympic marathon runners to shame. The Tarahumara not only run long distances, they also routinely scale mountains in mere hours, just for the fun of it. They sprint on foot to catch animals for their dinner… and consider it a playful diversion. The Tarahumara are believed to be among the healthiest human beings on earth!
"God's Miracle Dust" Because It's The Single Greatest Off-The-Grid Story Ever Told!We live in a time when it's impossible to escape dangerous chemicals. They're in our homes, our food, our soil, our water, and our air. They're so much a part of our lives that we think nothing of it. It's high time we think about it a little more. There are over 70,000 chemicals in use today and their cumulative effects on human health have never really been studied. In fact, very few of them have even been studied individually for safety. Should we be worried?
The Single Best "Just In Case" Place In The WorldFor many years now, there has been much talk that the ancient Mayans predicted the end of the world with their Long Count calendar. It has even been refined down to a specific date when humanity is supposed to cease to exist… December 21, 2012 This doomsday message has become quite popular. So much so, the subject has spawned hundreds of thousands of websites and blogs, several mainstream books… and at least a couple of movies… including… a major motion picture by Mel Gibson titled, Apocalypto. The supposed cause (or causes) of this wanton, wholesale destruction ranges from a Planet “X” near flyby… to a “killer” solar flare… to geomagnetic reversal… to… a half-dozen (or more) other things. Any one of which, alone, would have catastrophic effects.
