Here is a real good video on a Emergency bag, by a Christian guy, with some real good contents. A Continuation of our Go Bag or Bug out Bag (BOB) challenge, to see if we can make up a BOB for around $ 150 or less. After our first instalment we were up to a sub total of $76.30 We will now cover Navigation/Communication, Lights and tools. If we have some extra cash we will add some extras. Part 5: Navigation/Communication A map of your local area needs to be put in your bag covered in plastic or with some kind of protection. Next you will need a compass $1.00, Radio wind up/solar powered, $16.30. A whistle, $1.00 Part 6: Lights A sturdy led light, $1.75, a hand crank light small, $2.00. Part 7: Tools/Utensils A fork/spoon for eating, $2.40, a basic knife, $12.60, a sewing kit, $1.10, Strong Rope $5.30, a can opener, $4.00, Basic First Aid Kit, $2.30 Now some of these items would be shared if you were two or more like the radio, reducing overall cost. I believe it best to stick to basic colors for the bag as a camo bag will attract too much attention that you bag is worth stealing. Black is my ideal option especially when it come to night travel. So our Total comes to around $129, you could add some staple food item, rice, salt, beans, high carb/sugar items (candy bars) that could be eaten in small amounts over a long period. Ultimately the choice is what you can afford and carry. I hope this helps. A Bug out bag for less than $150 This is the challenge I am setting. But the big thing is that it must be available to most people in the world. Now in the USA you can get all kinds of great gear to bug out, so much one does not know where to start. So this challenge will take little or no supplies from the USA. So if you live in Manilia, Melbourne, Mambai, Melton or wherever you can access what you need. The first requirement is an ebay account and the necessary funds. We will aim for US $150 so whatever that convert to in the local currency. The criteria for this bag are basic for a few days or more if you stretch it. We will aim for
So here we go. We will only supply enough for one person a bag. If you have children you can use this as a guide to make smaller cheaper options. Each of the 'older person' bags will have the real bare necessities, water purification as first on the list. The reason for this, is that these bug out bags (BOBS) will act as a focal point, so in the event of a separation older children can supply the smaller ones with the real basics. Part 1: The BAG Now as this is a budget challenge we will have to avoid the top end brands. The picture above looks 'Top End' but in fact cost around $26 posted. I have bought these myself and find them fairly good so far. Here is the link to purchase (we are not affiliated to ebay) Part 2: Water Without water you will die in less than a week. This is an absolute necessity. Here we will go for what I think is the best all around portable filtration device (we are not going into finding water here as it would be endless), the life straw at around $25 Part 3: Shelter An emergency blanket $2.40, 2 x Ponchos $1.00, 1 x wire saw $1.70 Part 4: Fire/Cooking A fire-starter: Magnesium Flint Stone $1.20, small zip lock bag with cotton balls. Cooking/eating pot $19.00 Sub Total $76.30 ![]() (NaturalNews) During the 14th and 15th century pandemic, the black death killed nearly half the world's population, according to, Bubonic Plague: Yesterday's Scourge--and Tomorrow's? As present-day cases of bubonic plague reappear in parts of North America and Europe, people are seeking natural methods to fortify themselves against this devastating disease. Due to its remarkable ability to destroy numerous toxic pathogens, garlic possesses the clout to kill plague. PlagueBubonic plague is caused by the bacteria Yersinis pestis and is spread primarily by infected fleas found on rats. It is important to take fast action when plague strikes to save your life. Recognizing it as bubonic plague in its earlier stages can be difficult because initial symptoms mimic the flu with fever, chills and weakness. Treatment in the first 24 hours is critical to destroy the bacteria. Certain antibiotics such as stremptomycin, aureomycin and chloramphenicol have been used to treat plague patients, however, due to overuse, the plague bacteria is no longer responsive to most antibiotics. As bubonic plague works its way deeper into your system, it settles in the lymph nodes, spreading rapidly to the skin through the lymphatic system. Severe trembling accompanied by profuse sweating, subcutaneous hemorrhaging, and painful, dark reddish-purple spots rapidly develop. In addition, painful hypersensitive buboes form in the lymph nodes of the armpit and groin. The buboes may swell as large as oranges, and fill with pus and blood. If the buboes are not carefully lanced, the infection causes blood poisoning. The disease is highly contagious and spread when the buboes burst. Left untreated, plague is 100 people fatal. GarlicGarlic has been used medicinally by many cultures around the world for thousands of years. In the 1700s, gravediggers in Europe drank wine containing crushed garlic or ate fresh garlic in an effort to ward off plague. The amazing disease-fighting powers of garlic have repeatedly tested true in thousands of studies. Garlic possesses potent, natural antibiotic and antimicrobial properties able to protect against plague. Garlic is also high in antioxidants that destroy free radicals, supporting a strong immune system. The active ingredient in garlic, allicin, contains antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties known to kill numerous disease-causing bacteria. Using garlic medicinallyBecause garlic has such strong immune-building properties, regular supplementation acts prophylactically, preventing bubonic plague from taking hold. The best way to use garlic to prevent and treat plague is by consuming it raw every day. Crushing it first releases it's powerful properties, increasing its potency. Next best use it in cooked foods in large quantities, daily. Don't like the smell or taste of fresh garlic? If that's the case, take freeze dried garlic supplements in capsules form. Not as effective as fresh garlic, however, these can be taken daily especially if there is word of plague in your area. Garlic can thin the blood, so if you're taking it daily in any form, contact your natural health practitioner if you also take prescription blood thinners. Other natural substances that treat plagueAlong with garlic, there are other extremely potent, natural antimicrobial substances that can be used to prevent and treat bubonic plague. Yersinis pestis is available in homeopathic form and can be used prophylactically, as well as to treat active plague. Colloidal silver destroys bacteria and is especially helpful in treating conditions of the skin as well as when taken internally. Echinacea was used internally to cure blood poisoning, and calendula is highly effecting at fighting bacterial infections, both on the skin and internally. Other potent natural antibiotics that fight plague are oil of oregano, olive leave extract, turmeric, and manuka honey. If you suspect you have come into contact with bubonic plague, seek medical assistance immediately.

Reading the prophecy can instill fear, especially if one isn't prepared. Many prophets have outlined their visions over the centuries. Among the scariest of of them is that of Marie Julie Jahenny, French mystic and stigmatist who lived from 1850 to 1941: In a vision of a dialogue between Our Lord and Lucifer, the latter said, "I will attack the Church. I will overthrow the Cross, I will decimate the people, I will deposit a great weakness of faith in hearts. There will also be A GREAT DENIAL OF RELIGION. For a time I will be MASTER of all things, everything will be under MY CONTROL, even Your temple and all Your people." Marie-Julie said, "Saint Michael says that Satan will have possession of everything for some time and that he will reign completely over everything ; that all goodness, faith, religion will be buried in the tomb. . . Satan and his own will triumph with joy, but after this triumph, the Lord will in His turn gather His own people and will REIGN and TRIUMPH OVER EVIL and WILL RAISE UP from the tomb the buried Church, the prostrated Cross. . . " Marie-Julie announced the three days of darkness during which the infernal powers will be loosed and will execute all the enemies of God: "The crisis will explode suddenly; the punishments will be shared by all and will succeed one another without interruption... " ( January 4, 1884). "The three days of darkness "... will be on a THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. Days of the Most Holy Sacrament, of the Cross and Our Lady. . . ." three days less one night." "The earth will be covered in darkness»", says Our Lady on 20th of September 1882, "...AND HELL WILL BE LOOSED ON EARTH. Thunder and lightning will cause those who have no faith or trust in My Power, to die of fear." "During these three days of terrifying darkness, no windows must be opened, because no one will be able to see the earth and the terrible colour it will have in those days of punishment without dying at once... " "The sky will be on fire, the earth will split... During these three days of darkness let the blessed candle be lighted everywhere, no other light will shine.... " "NO ONE OUTSIDE A SHELTER.. will survive. The earth will shake as at the judgment and fear will be great. Yes, We will listen to the prayers of your friends ; NOT ONE WILL PERISH. We will need them to publish the glory of the Cross.... "(8th of December 1882) " THE CANDLES OF BLESSED WAX ALONE WILL GIVE LIGHT during this horrible darkness. ONE CANDLE alone will be enough for the duration of this night of hell... In the homes of the wicked and blasphemers these candles will give NO LIGHT." "And Our Lady states : "Everything will shake except the piece of furniture on which the blessed candle is burning. This will not shake. You will all gather around with the crucifix and my blessed picture. This is what will keep away this terror." "During this darkness the devils and the wicked will take on THE MOST HIDEOUS SHAPES... red clouds like blood will move across the sky. The crash of the thunder will shake the earth and sinister lightning will streak the heavens out of season. The earth will be shaken to its foundations. The sea will rise, its roaring waves will spread over the continent..." "THE EARTH WILL BECOME LIKE A VAST CEMETERY». The bodies of the wicked and the just will cover the ground." "Three-quarters of the population of the globe will disappear. Half the population of France will be destroyed." Like all prophecies, people tend to speculate on the day, the hour, and the possible cause of these events. Will it be a celestial cataclysm like a solar flare or a comet, or was Jahenny seeing the results of a nuclear war which she didn't understand at the time of these prophecies? It's good to speculate, but it's better to be prepared. Purchasing items such as store-able food and water is a good idea, but better to prepare first for the spiritual battle. Here are items I would have on hand in multiple locations, i.e., work, home, garage, lake house etc. and each car. CANDLES, LARGE, SMALL, HOLY WATER, ROSARIES, EXORCISED SALT SPIRITUAL BOOKS ESPECIALLY ON OUR LADY TO READ DURING THE THREE DAYS I have just made more pages with literature that needs to be in your kit for what is promised to us by Our Lady. I would GO => to the Chastisement section and get all the small booklet sized info. Cover them with contact and have them in a bug out bag with all the other pamphlet sized ones on other pages. Keep the larger ones at a more permanent safe house, or safe storage place for the future. I will add more in the next few hours and in the future as I find retailers who I can link directly to, so you can assess them quick, safe and conveniently.

There are more and more droughts, earthquakes, extreme cold and heat, floods, hurricanes, landslides, tornadoes, tsunamis, wildfires, and winter storms. Other emergencies you should prepare for are influenza pandemics, home fires, technological and accidental hazards, and anything else God throw our way. Each emergency has its own considerations and you should keep each one in mind when preparing to meet the challenges of the world we live in today. The basic necessities of life are all the same no matter who you are or where you live. You need clean water, food, shelter, and heat (if it's cold outside). Water To provide for your clean water needs, these are things to check and have on hand. For Droughts Check all plumbing for leaks and have any leaks repaired by a plumber Make sure all household water outlets have aerators with flow restrictors Choose appliances that are more water efficient Install low-volume flush toilets Install ultra-low-flow shower-heads Collect food waste in a container for composting rather than using a garbage disposal which requires a lot of water Plant drought-tolerant grasses, ground covers, shrubs, and trees Use micro and drip irrigation, and soaker hoses to water vegetation Use mulch to retain moisture in the soil and help control weeds that compete with landscape plants for water Harvest rainwater from down spouts and leave bucket out during rain. For Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Floods, Volcanic Eruptions, Winter Storms and Extreme Cold You should store at least one gallon of water (4 litres) per person per day. A normally active person needs at least one gallon of water daily just for drinking; however, individual needs vary depending on age, physical condition, activity, diet, and climate. It is best to store water in manageable size container that you can move when filled. If you can't afford enough small containers, it is better to use a few large storage containers than nothing at all. Food To provide for your food needs, it is best to prepare for the worst disaster that is likely to happen in your area. Prepare for 6 to 12 months without access to food from stores. You can start small and buy what you can as you can afford it. A little is better than nothing. We recommend #10 cans of storable food for at least part of your supply, as they can survive many hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods. Cardboard boxes of food from the supermarket usually don't survive disasters very well. They also attract roaches who love food!! If your food gets wet or smashed it will do you no good. At minimum, your family should have enough stored food to last 2 weeks. You can buy a few cans at a time or get a pre-planned supply. Cooking To cook or warm your food, you will need some kind of stove you can use inside your home or shelter. It is a good idea to have something that has versatile fuel types. Propane will be the best choice, as it burns clean, but having the option to cook with wood is also very important as propane can run out or stop working. A Volcano 2 stove is a good choice as it works with both. Shelter After an earthquake, hurricane, tornado, or flood, your home can become damaged and unsafe to live in. If you live in a city you can go to a designated public shelter, if you want to risk the dangers that may entail there. If you live in the country, your best option is a temporary shelter like a canvas or nylon tent. Heat It is important to plan and prepare a way to keep warm when the power goes out. Most furnaces won't run without electricity even if they are gas. If you own your home your best option is to install a wood burning stove. You can cook on it as well as heat water for washing. If you need something inexpensive, we have small stoves for as little as $120. If you are renting and need a backup heating source, your best option is a Mr. Heater Big Buddy propane heater. They are safe to use indoors and produce a lot of heat. ![]() Some things to consider that will arise and need to be dealt with, so that decisions can be made clearly. In point form

Always ask questions before heading out. How long will we be away? How much food do we need? Do I need to carry water? Do I have enough of the correct clothing? One pair or two? What special equipment do I need for the terrain? What medical kit is appropriate? Here is a list of things to consider:
