    The Dish on the Rag: Feminine Hygiene for the Zombie Apocalypse

    Zombie Prep - 06.19.2012

    Story by Maribel Z K

     

    The ZPOC will happen, but it won’t scare away your monthly visitor/gift/fiend/demon. Screenshot of Maribel demonstrating a cup shape No one seems to cover this need when talking about bug-out bags but you can’t really ignore this if you’re a woman. This video was in response to a question on the website about feminine hygiene. Our reader asked:

    “I was hoping you could shed some light on female hygiene (specifically during that time of the month). I figure that we could stash a bunch but happens when they run out and going out and finding more isn’t possible?”

    In summary, we cover 4 options:

    1. Scavenge clean baby diapers and adult diapers as substitutes
    2. Buy reuseable alternatives (pads, sponges, cups)
    3. Make reuseable alternatives
    4. Use items from nature

    Zombie Apocalypse Survival Prepping PACE System

    Zombie Prep - 06.08.2012

    Story by John Moore

     

    There’s a saying amongst zombie preppers that two is one and one is none. What we mean, is that when the Z-SHTF, you need a backup for everything you have and everything you have planned.

    Zombie Apocalypse survival prepping systemDuring the coming zombie apocalypse, and while you’re prepping, we believe that you should follow the PACE system. PACE is an acronym for Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency. Each part of your zombie prep should have a backup, a backup to the backup, and an emergency plan.

    Take a weapons system. Your primary may be a rifle of some sort. Your alternate would be a pistol. Contingency weapons could include edged weapons. In an emergency we are talking about unarmed combat or combat with improvised weapons.

    In the following video, I cover the PACE system and how you can use it with your family or prepper group.

    Story by John Moore

     

    Did you know that the grocery stores we depend on only keep a 3 day supply of food around? Look at the food shortages after the Japan Tsunami, or after Hurricane Katrina to see what can happen.
