Doomsday Preppers: How to Survive like Robert Earl

By Terrance Franklin


Robert Earl has described Al Gore's global warming message hook line and sinker. He has decided to relocate to the badlands of Texas in order to prevent the increasing tides. Unlike various other individuals who have been seen among the Doomsday Preppers, he isn't around for review on Kevin Costner motion pictures. So how exactly does does he make it through on a tight budget in a place with almost no water?

An Increasing Water level

We are practically still residing in an ice age at present because of the amount of glacial ice which still exists in Greenland and Antarctica. Because this ice dissolves slowly, the sea levels go up and have actually been rising for hundreds of years since the glaciers have retreated from north America and Europe. However, the pace has been increasing. According to leading researchers, the average rise was fairly steady at around 1.7mm per year. However, during the time period between 1993 and 2009, this rate practically doubled to about 3.3mm annually.

Even though this might not look like much, the impact is massive on lower lying and seaside areas, that contain a lot of the world's populace. It's been approximated that a rise of just 200mm could possibly damage the properties of 740,000 people in Nigeria. Just imagine where those people will go in order to search for food.

Smoke house

The concept of a smokehouse is crucial to any person who plans to eat a sufficient quantity of protein in a post-collapse world. Before the invention of refrigeration, the only methods for storing meat for an extended period of time were smoking and salt curing. While we already have learned about the basics of how salt preserves food items, it is worth going through the system of how smoking preserves meat.

Smoking meat is all about the natural oils and saps within the wood, or whatever is utilized. Throughout the process of burning up, these are released in the atmosphere and coat whatever the smoke reaches with time. This produces a thinner covering that seals microorganisms along with other impurities out while at the same time cooking the food. If it is done correctly, the resulting food items may be stored in a properly maintained storeroom for approximately 12 months.

For anyone who is interested, there are several good resources available for learning how to smoke meat correctly on the net. The type of wood selected is vital for health and safety reasons- most lumber that is used for construction has protective chemical compounds that would be extremely terrible to consume. Additionally, there is the culinary factor. Just because we're prepping doesn't imply that we can not enjoy some delicious food.

Night Soil

Instead of being able to purchase fertilizer, Robert has opted to use his very own waste to provide his back garden with the nourishment his plants need. The technique of using night soil, as it is called, has been used for thousands of years. However, there are surely numerous tips which have to be followed as there are a few considerable health problems that could result. Cholera, dysentery and parasitic infections might be caught from consuming food raised on night soil. The optimal way to avoid this is by composting, which could minimize detectable parasite eggs by about 99.8%
