It's been a VERY busy few weeks.
The www.infidelbodyarmor.com website is up and it is keeping me extremely busy. In fact, I probably shouldn't be blogging right now. We've expanded the line to include more carriers and side plates.
Advertising has expanded as well. From Pat's review on SurvivalBlog.com, we're going to be running ads on a few other websites asInternetPrepper.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11980195231188819780noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5772452185152147814.post-81045975535520491872013-01-02T18:23:00.001-08:002013-01-02T18:23:21.377-08:00Body Armor, Guns, and Prepper Plans!

We are ready for sales! You'll find our armor along with a great selection of MOLLE Plate Carriers and attachments.
You can shop either at www.InternetPrepper.com or www.InfidelBodyArmor.com (The Infidel site has a larger selection).

I've been busy testing and building the new website. I've got most of the products listed (with prices) and a few videos. Please checkout www.InfidelBodyArmor.com and spread the word.
This is my second website and I've gained a little knowledge of what it takes to get Google to like you.

This is a video of some of the testing we did yesterday on my prototype body armor. We've got a few changes to make, but I'm very confident we'll have a product ready for sale in the next few weeks. I'll be selling this at www.internetprepper.com The idea is that the plates are encapsulted in hardened plastic coating and that traps the bullet fragements.

Here's why you want Anti-Spal coating on your armor. Anything less is pointless.
BTW, this is my new company. The website is still "in the works", but we should be ready for sales in early 2013.

Hi,
Last year around December, as I was taking a long drive across Texas, I was thinking of business ideas. I had been a fairly avid prepper and reader of survival/homesteading/prepper articles and books. My pdf collection was growing quite large and I had already spent many hours weeding out the junk and cataloging and sorting the good stuff.
I had expressed an interest in starting a Jimmy (pen name)http://www.blogger.com/profile/04394066185119734828noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5772452185152147814.post-63788192796564902832012-06-17T08:03:00.001-07:002012-06-17T08:03:40.678-07:00Garden and Chicken UpdateMy zucchini got some kind of leaf mold and died off; but not before producing nearly 12 good sized squash.
Tomatoes are rocking- especially the ones in my new garden bed. Mixture of peat, rabbit manure, horse muck, and vermiculite.
The okra is growing nicely.
The beans did enough to freeze and can several bags/jars full. I ripped out 1/2 of them and replanted.

“Honey, the lights won’t turn on.”
That’s how it starts, or rather,
that’s the first time the reality of the event hits home. The lack
of power is an annoyance; and then the veracity of its permanence
sets in. The first day, you habitually hit the light switch and
curse, because it’s the fifth time that hour you’ve tried to turn
on the lights, even though you know the power’s off.

It’s a do-it-yourself, low budget, but highly effective and portable system that I think many preppers and survivalist would jump at.

I hitched up my trailer and headed up to the place around 1:30pm on Thursday. The weather was overcast, and rain was forecast for Friday and Saturday, but I decided to press on. After stopping and buying my hunting license, I headed into the woods. Thursday afternoon was spent setting up camp, chopping wood, and getting the fire started.

You need water to survive. Without it, you can last maybe 2-3 days before major dehydration and dehabilitation sets in- then death. So, figure out how to get water and get it purified. Since this is the #1 priority for survival, you should have multiple ways to get clean drinking water for you and your family.

I finally tried the Bega Cheese I sell on Amazon. I had heard good things about the cheese, but really didn't know what to expect.
You have to open both ends of the can, and then push it out in one piece. I used my cheese slicer to make grilled cheese sandwiches today. It slices easily and doesn't crumble.
The taste is excellent- very mild and on the soft side.

For the cabin, I've got a number of plans in the works:
Add gutters and cistern for water storage.
