After it sitting on my shelf of a couple of months, I slipped Ron Hood’s DVD on Urban Survival in the DVD player this weekend. In the first volume Ron discusses Urban Survival tactics for the following categories:
- Home
- Away from Home
- Threats to Your Person
- Urban Skills
- Recovery
Each category is it’s own DVD, it seems. This DVD contains good basic information to get you started, what it will not go into are specifics of surviving an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, etc.
In the first category under, “The Home,” food storage is discussed, specifically where and how to store your food items in your home. A concept called “Copy Canning” is discussed which allows you to categorize your food storage as you eat what you store, and how to build your basic food storage without breaking your personal bank. In addition they into how to store grains with dry ice in a steel barrel, goes over what foods to store, and more. They go into depth about other areas of importance such as hygiene, sanitation, security, water storage, vitamins and medications, personal emergency information, first aid, communications, cooking, disaster planning,
In all this DVD is a good primer to get yourself and your family started prepping and securing your home. If you know someone who is interested in learning about prepping, this DVD would be a good way for them to get started in conjunction with other materials that are out there. It is a little basic for veteran preppers, but I picked up a couple of good ideas from it. I’ll reserve comment on them so that you can enjoy the video yourself.

[...] Let’s examine this. Regarding food storage or “extra food in the house” one of the simplest ways I would recommend anyone start getting prepared is this area is to just buy a little more every time you go shopping. Food prices are going up, and by buying jut a little bit more now, not only helps prepare you for the future if there is some type of personal, natural, or man made disaster, it also helps to save you money, even if you are buying before prices rise. If you normally buy four cans of tuna a week on sale for $5.00 buy eight cans instead or four. You have only increased your weekly bill by five dollars, but you have gained four or more meals out of it that are now in your food storage. The adage of “buy what you store, and store what you eat.” makes perfect sense here. Also, begin putting a system together for replacing the food that you do eat. If you eat a can of tuna, buy two more the following week. One you have replaced the can you have used, and two, you have added another can to food storage giving you that additional meal. I put up a post some time ago on five dollar preps that you can make weekly that hopefully won’t break the bank. The rotation concept I learned from a Ron Hood video Urban Master One, The Home. [...]
