Best Watch for The Survivalist August 2021

 Have you got your survival supplies together yet? If not, this is something you should be doing if you want to prepare yourself and your family for the real possibility of a disaster or emergency situation. We can go through life thinking nothing will ever happen to us, but watching the news will show you that something can happen at the most unexpected time . Best Watch for The Survivalist   You can even watch a disaster come toward you if you live in hurricane or tornado zones.

How do you best decide what survival supplies you may need? First consider where you live and what the most likely scenario you may face is. You can put together at least three days of water and food for your home along with a good first aid kit. Buy easy to prepare foods that you know everyone in your family will eat. If you buy a prepackaged food deal, you may get some items that are not like by some and other items you do not want.

Buy your own food at your local stores when they are on sale or there is a good price for bulk. If you buy canned food you would need less water for cooking which translates to less water for storage, although keeping as much water as possible is a good thing. Figure a minimum of one gallon of water per person per day. Have a portable gas stove you can cook with in case your out of power or have to leave your home.

Leaving your home may be something you have to do so being able to take your three days worth of food with you may be something you want to work out. If you don't have room for three days worth in your vehicle, fit in as much as you can. We talk about food, but having water is more important in that you can miss eating for a few days but not drinking water for a few days will kill you. In addition to your bottled water, have a way to filter any other water you may need that is not clean.

The following is a personal and special account of a person who has helped shaped my path. We all have people who come into our lives whose life story and experience impact our learning and understanding. We would be fortunate if we would know even a few. I have found it is not the "perfect" examples that have often reflected the most, but rather those that reveal the transcendence and struggles we all experience. Sometimes we come to learn from life as "Grandfather," has taught,... depending on where we sit in the medicine wheel. I thought it will be helpful to include one of Grandfather's stories, which were always a guidepost for life itself. Afterwards i follow with my own accounts of inspirations and lesson's i have learned from "Uncle Mike." I hope you too realize Spirit is teaching all of us from the many manifestations of beauty and mystery of life unfolding itself. Go in the way of a good Vision. RH

.......... Two things happen to a man when he sees himself in the great Looking Pond and neither of them tells the truth. A young brave marvels at his reflection, his strong form and how it cuts a handsome silhouette with the mother sky behind it. He should be happy but he's not for he longs for the things that only wisdom and many winters can bring.

The uncle is equally discontent but for different reasons. He has mounted many horses, but privately he laments getting old....he wonders, if he too has made his mark on the trail of the great prairie.

Hah!.....that's the funny thing with the two leggeds. "We're never happy!" The young are too eager to chase life only to learn some time he will stand before the looking back water just like the Uncle.

Don't always trust what you think you see, especially about yourself. We like to crow like loud birds. You think you see who you are in that shiny water, but you should learn to see yourself as the Great Spirit does. He does not wonder only, have you known many great and strange things.

What is important that when a time comes to wait on a vision an upright knows his place before the creator. Things are different before the great mystery that is life, and life is not just what a man sees staring back at him in the water.
