Congratulations! Whether you have chosen to send you child to a public school or you are home schooling, your child has started school. But do you ever wonder what’s going on there? All this pressure about reading readiness, all those hours reading bedtime stories when you’re bone tired, and the kids aren’t even looking at

Recently, Off The Grid News published my article on The Healing Powers of Water. In it I go to great lengths to advocate for water. In a time when it is just as easy to reach for a glass of soda, a cup of coffee, or a bottle of high fructose corn syrup disguised as

If you are not concerned with putting meat in your freezer, or live in an area where butchering chickens would be frowned upon, you can still enjoy the many benefits of owning chickens. If you never intend to breed chickens to get replacements for older birds or to butcher, you won’t even need a rooster

Will you save money by growing your own food? I think the answer is pretty obvious—YES! It’s like asking, “Is it less expensive to cook your own food at home or go out to dinner?” Well, unless you want cheaply made, over-processed, hormone-injected, pesticide-doused foods off the fast-food restaurant’s “Dollar Menu”, it’s much less expensive

Just in case you’re not familiar with the “End of America” scenario, know that it isn’t off in the future. It’s right here, right now. What you read and see every day is what the End of America looks like. It’s not a Mel Gibson post-apocalypse movie… By Dan Ferris, editor, The 12% Letter Now

Knowing how to replace the staples in the kitchen in some other way than a trip to the store is an important prepper skill. One of those things is bread. The first step is taking the time to learn to bake, which unfortunately is becoming a lost art in and of itself. The second step

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

If you live in the northern U.S., you will probably benefit more from solar water heating than you would from solar power (photovoltaic or PV). Because of the amount of average cloud cover and other atmospheric issues in the north, PV is not as effective as it is in the south – the energy production

Nobody much likes the idea of going to the dentist, the medical specialty probably most associated with pain. Now, suppose because of remoteness—due either to your general choice of where to locate your home or to hunting or some other task (or pastime) that takes you even further into the wilderness—you need a dentist but

It is a patent fact… that the chronological element in early Egyptian history is in a state of almost hopeless obscurity. —George Rawlinson, A History of Egypt (1886) The Devastation of Egypt The Exodus destroyed Egypt. Its cattle and crops were gone. The firstborn in every household was dead. The king and the heir to

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.
