For over 30 years, Fred Rogers, an unassuming minister, puppeteer, writer and producer, was beamed daily into homes across America. In his beloved television program, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Fred and his cast of puppets and friends spoke directly to young children about some of life's weightiest issues, in a simple, direct fashion. At the root of this show was the emphasis on accepting others just as they are. Won't you be my neighbor? Upon its conclusion, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was the longest-running series in PBS history (a record eclipsed by Sesame Street in 2003). Host Fred Rogers (known to millions as simply "Mister Rogers") used his gentle charm and mannerisms to communicate with his audience of children. Topics centered on nearly every inconceivable matter of concern to children, ranging from everyday fears related to going to sleep, getting immunizations and disappointment about not getting one's way to losing a loved one to death and physical handicaps. Can We Have a Mister Rogers' Neighborhood World? Here are 5 things 'Mister Rogers' can still teach us: 1. Slow down and be patient. "Mutually caring relationships require kindness and patience, tolerance, optimism, joy in the other's achievements, confidence in oneself, and the ability to give without undue thought of gain." 2. Love people for who they are. "Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like 'struggle.' To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now." 3. Everyone is a neighbor. "Sometimes you're right where you need to be." 4. There is always a reason to help. "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'" 5. Treat others with kindness. "There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind."

Surviving Under Martial Law:

Martial Law is when the military takes over governmental functions, with an aim at restoring stability and tranquility. Even so, it hasn't always been used that way. A number of times, martial law has been declared as a means of controlling the population and preventing uprising. Used in this way, there really isn’t much difference between a dictator using it and a democratic government using it. In either case, people's liberties are stripped and their lives are controlled by government agents. It's a term that strikes both fear and anger into the hearts of those of us who love our freedom; anger that the government would use their power to steal our freedom and fear that it could very well happen and happen soon. No true freedom loving patriot likes the idea of the government invoking martial law and many have suspicions that it might just happen; even that it could happen for unjust gain by politicians. Know What's Happening: We CANNOT ignore what's going on around us locally, nationally and internationally. There is no safe place anymore. Stay informed, get involved and take action or the world will be coming for you and you won't even know why. Politics is NOT a spectator sport; IT IS a call to ACTION! Things to Have and Do:

Have an Evacuation (Bug Out) Plan

Build a Defense Strategy

Learn to use a weapon and train the family and friends

Hide food, weapons and other supplies

Play it cool to stay off the government radar

Trust no one

Become very familiar with your surroundings to hide and easily travel without detection or interaction with others

Change your appearance to avoid recognition

Store plenty of water, food and supplies

Purchase or Make Defense Equipment & Clothing and Protest Protection Gear

Have a safe room

Common Problems and Constraints Under Martial Law: It is the perceived need for martial law, not the actual need, which is the issue. Martial law is implemented because of the perceptions of persons in authority. They feel a need to declare martial law in order to gain control of a situation which they feel is out of control. Typically, some of the common restrictions that are placed upon the population during martial law are Travel Restrictions, Restrictions on Public Gatherings, Curfew, Control of the Media, Blocking Personal Communications, Business Restrictions, Loss of Freedom of Speech, Weapons Confiscations and Citizen Relocation. Make Yourself Invisible to Authorities: Dealing with any martial law situation is always extremely difficult. If you are trapped in one, then you can be sure that you will be inconvenienced and lose at least some of your freedoms. That's what martial law is; so you may as well expect it. There really are only a few ways of totally avoiding martial law. The most obvious is to be somewhere else. But if they enact martial law on a nationwide basis, then leaving one city to go to another isn't going to help at all. The other way of avoiding martial law is to keep out of sight of the authorities. While martial law places restrictions on the civilian population, it does so to everyone equally. With the right precautions, you can make yourself and your family effectively invisible to the authorities. Throughout history, there have always been those (resistance) who go around behind the authorities' backs, doing what they want to do and avoiding what the authorities are trying to do to them. There just aren't enough police or soldiers to keep an eye on everyone. First thing that has to be done to effectively remain invisible is to avoid contact with those who might be a "snitch" for the government. Don't share any information with anyone that hints of dishonesty. The easiest way to stay under the radar during a time of martial law is to act like good little sheeple. By not causing any problems, you make yourself an unattractive target. Avoid electronic surveillance (cameras, drones, etc.) and take the time to think about your moves and your communications ahead of time. Get rid of your personal smart phone and use simple disposable cell phones. All communications are being monitored and tracked. Don't use e-mail for anything but benign (uninteresting) communications. Email is being monitored. Avoid posting anything on social media sites. Become highly aware of your surroundings and the people around you (situational awareness). In today's day and age, having no electronic communications is suspicious. If you don't ever use a cell phone or e-mail, it might cause people to wonder why. So, use them for the day-to-day unimportant things; that will help you blend in and seem unimportant. Prevent Losing Stuff to Others: If the reports are true, in a time of national emergency, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has authority to take over pretty much anything and everything that they deem necessary. If you don't want your stuff taken, use your imagination for places to hide stuff; even in plain sight.

Immediate Steps to Take When The S**t Hits The Fan:

Post URL: https://www.tumblr.com/prep4tomoro/624809385282191360/ And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. . . (Matthew 24:6) Every emergency response organization in the world, whether it be military, police, fire departments or the Red Cross, has written contingency plans that detail what to do when everything goes wrong. There’s a good reason for that; it’s because our brains tend to stop functioning at that time, as adrenalin floods our bloodstream as part of the “fight or flight” response. That’s how we end up with people running out of a burning building, rescuing their parakeet, while forgetting their child or hiding their wallet in their boat that’s sinking. They’re just not thinking. They didn't have a plan and they didn't practice it until it became 2nd Nature. Prior to the SHTF event, you should have been working on the 14-Point Emergency Preps Checklist and Evacuation (Bug-Out) Plan. But gathering supplies is not enough for the preparation of surviving an emergency event. Ultimately, skills, thinking outside the box and a documented plan will sustain you. Each type of disaster will have its own peculiarities, requiring specific actions. Our plans need to cover those things as well. But there are some actions that are an important part of any disaster response, regardless of what has caused it. For those disasters, the following list is presented as an outline to create your own action plan. Assess the Situation:

Don't Panic (S.T.O.P.) Stop and calmly analyze the situation Think of what you need to do to survive the situation Observe your preps and how they will address the situation Plan out the next best course of action

Keep your ears and eyes tuned in to current events

Understand what’s going on and whether it's necessary to react

Continue to monitor and re-assess to determine if you need to react differently

Make the Bug in or Bug out Decision:

Determine if the situation is serious enough to put your survival plan into effect

Most times, it's best to stay put in your home but use the "R.E.D.O.U.T." assessment to decide to stay or go Resources/supplies are low, no way to replenish Environment no longer safe to stay in Destination is safer than where you are Overwhelming force against you - real safety threat to you/family Unprepared for the situation - my preps don't address this event Threat is increasing, growing in size or getting closer

Contact Nuclear Family and Survival Team:

It's good to carry multiple methods of communication in case cell phones are not working. Texting might work even when voice is down

Communicate the decision to stay or go and next steps to take or not

Identify a meeting place if necessary. This/these should have been pre-planned in case communications are down

Gather the Family and Survival Team:

Implement the pre-planned "get home plan"

Every member should have a bug-out bag (or basic supplies) with them to help them get to the designated meeting place

Depending on your plan, your school student children may need to escape the school which will want to keep students inside

Meet up at the designated meeting place

Gather Supplies:

Locate supplies stockpiles to be ready to use or pack for bug-out

"Last minute" supplies should not be a consideration IF you have been properly planning for an emergency but think of things that may not have been previously considered (filled gas tanks, etc.)

Load Up & Bug Out (if necessary):

After everyone is together, make the final decision to bug-out or stay put.

if bug-out is the choice, pack up supplies in the vehicle(s) or on your backs

Determine your bug-out destination

Plan to pick up supply caches you have hidden along the way

Contact Extended Family:

After your decision and plan has been implemented, contact your extended family members to let them know that you’re okay and your plan to proceed

Secure Your Home:

Lock up your residence whether you are staying or evacuating

Consider boarding up windows and moving vehicle(s) to a defensive position

Go into Survival Mode:

With everything ready, it’s time to batten down the hatches and go into survival mode. Whatever survival plan you have needs to be put into effect, including rationing of food and water, constantly monitoring the crisis event, setting up survival procedures and equipment, etc.

If things don’t turn out to be that bad, you can just call it a “rehearsal.” But if you’ve gotten this far, chances are that something is going to happen.

Be glad you’re ready for it!

Maintain Operational Security (OPSEC):

Keep your prepping supplies and plans private - keep quiet

Security is your responsibility. First Responders may not be available

Keep your house unremarkable. Lights out at night, food odors undetectable, activity minimal, etc.

If you must venture out, blend in; look and act like the rest of the population (gray man)

Consider that marauders and the unprepared may be looking for supplies and/or shelter. Leave nothing useful behind or prepare to defend it.

Have self-defense tools at the ready. Load firearms and always carry

Stay on the alert for danger. Monitor outside activity from the inside via cameras and strategic windows

Construct, or reinforce/improve, a Safe Room

Start Planning for Contingencies (What ifs):

Not all plans "go as planned"

What are you going to do if you run out of supplies, water, food, if a family/team member gets seriously ill, injured or incapacitated, if the disaster event situation gets much worse, if your shelter is overrun by the unprepared or marauders, etc.?

You can’t plan ahead for every single scenario but a true prepper is able to think on their feet

What is a Prepper?  What is Prepping?

Prepping is creating plans, gathering and stockpiling food, ammunition, and other supplies, and developing skills to overcome possible catastrophic emergencies, disasters, and survival situations. The scope of preparedness is large and up to the prepared individual, ranging from simple power outages to apocalyptic events. A Prepper is someone that creates a plan, gathers resources, and gains skills so that they can be more prepared for emergencies, disasters, and other survival situations. They are normal people from all walks of life that understand the need to plan ahead to prevent or mitigate hardship during a crisis. The majority of people in America (73%) have taken at least one step to prepare for a natural disaster or emergency. Some people choose to lean into preparedness a little harder than just one step, and those people are commonly called "preppers". Preppers try to become self-sufficient; reducing their dependencies on infrastructure by stockpiling and storing extra resources (esp. food, water, tools), learning survival skills, building resilient communities or going off-grid.

Making and Using Reusable Menstrual Pads:

How to Make Reusable Menstrual Pads Out of Fabric (Pattern Included) | Upstyle (upstyledaily.com)

How to Clean Reusable Cloth Sanitary Pads

[14-Point Emergency Preps Checklist] [11-Cs Basic Emergency Kit] [Learn to be More Self-Sufficient] [The Ultimate Preparation] [5six7 Menu]

EVERTHING YOU NEED TO KLNOW ABOUT REUSEABLE SANITARY PADS

In the present scenario, feminine hygiene is a trending topic that is making waves with the introduction of reusable sanitary pads which ensure to maintain good menstrual health and hygiene among women.

Menstrual reusable sanitary pads are reusable cloth menstrual pads that serve the purpose of absorbing menstrual flow during your menstrual cycles. They could be used for about four to five hours without frequent change; however, depending on your menstrual flow.

Reusable sanitary pads would require a good wash and have to be well-dried before reuse of the same pad again. These super pads contain several absorbent layers of cotton, hemp, or bamboo, without the use of any harmful chemicals that could harm your skin and cause infections and skin allergies.

Everything you need to know about reusable sanitary pads and why washable sanitary pads might be a good fit for you is mentioned below:

Reusable cloth sanitary pads are environment-friendly. During a lifetime, a woman will use about 12,000 sanitary pads which are not biodegradable and would take several decades to decompose. Hence, we end up generating a lot of toxins that contaminate the environment.

Reusable cloth sanitary pads are skin-friendly. They are free from chemicals that harm your skin such as plastics, artificial fragrances, chemical gels, and adhesives; hence, you will not feel itchy and it is good for your body.

Reusable cloth sanitary pads are incredibly soft, comfortable, and convenient for use keeping in mind the young women who need a frequent change of menstrual products during their menstrual cycles. These sanitary pads can stay on for about four to five hours depending on the kind of flow; whether heavy or light.

Reusable cloth sanitary pads are not just eco-friendly but are also wallet-friendly as they can easily last up to four or five years if they are well-maintained and kept in good condition. Most women have reported that their pads have lasted much longer.

You could order reusable cloth sanitary pads online at an affordable price on StoneSoup.

Reusable cloth sanitary pads are best suitable for women with any skin type, more so advantageous in women with sensitive skin. They are chemical-free, hypoallergenic, bleach-free, and are usually made from breathable cloth; your sensitive skin gets a chance to breathe; hence, preventing a skin rash from developing. The reusable pads keep you well-prepared for the arrival of every menstrual cycle as they are handy, and easy-fit, and you could just wash them and keep them in your bags or purses even when outdoors.

Prevents bad odor: The benefit of using washable cloth sanitary pads is that they stay a lot fresher as the fabric is breathable, allowing moisture to evaporate; thereby, preventing the growth of bacteria. This avoids bad odor.

**Reusable pads have a washable holder that snaps around the crotch piece of your undergarment. You just need to toss the fabric into the wash to clean it.

Washable sanitary pads from StoneSoup are the best reusable menstrual pads, that are economical, absorbent, hypoallergenic, foldable, compact to carry, and easy to maintain. They can be hand-washed or machine-washed, leak-proof, rash-free, easy-to-use, and waste-free.

Switching to reusable sanitary pads will ensure safe, happy, stress-free, and reliable menstrual protection for many years to come.

Protest vs Riot

Under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, every American has the right to protest. It falls under the right to free assembly. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." A protest becomes a riot when one or more people in a group engage in criminal activity involving the destruction of the property of others and/or injuring or killing others. It is counterproductive to the ultimate purpose(s) of protesting. In 2020, some media commentators tried to blur the line between "protest" and "riot" rather than properly interpret the First Amendment's phrase "peaceably to assemble". Free Speech vs Hate Speech: Basically, the Supreme Court says speech becomes a crime when it leads directly to a hate crime. The speaker must incite immediate violence or make clear threats of violence targeting a specific person or group. Or, the speech must lead to a hate crime; a criminal offense motivated by bias. A statement like "death to [person or group]" could cross the line from peaceful to violence. Civil Disobedience is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of a government. By some definitions, civil disobedience HAS to be nonviolent to be called 'civil'. Hence, civil disobedience is sometimes equated with peaceful protests or nonviolent resistance. When government has overreached their authority and powers that The People have established, plan or participate in legal peaceful protests and civil disobedience demonstrations. Just as radical groups (rioters) harass, harm and destroy, peaceful protesters must not be silent to communicate their cause. How to Hold a Legal and Meaningful Protest: To peacefully protest, identify your expectations from a civil disobedience action; government reform, smaller government, reduced government spending, overreach, etc. [Reference Link] Related Resources: Protest vs Riot [Link 2] Staying Safe in a Crowd or Riot Protest Something That Actually Matters

The Lone Wolf Prepper:  Foolish or Prudent

I've briefly touched on this topic in other blog posts but never hit it head on. Why now? I recently, and without warning, lost my "prepper buddy". I have not dealt very well with his death. We spent much time together in person and on the phone. I truly trusted him to have my back. Now, I feel, I will never find another that I will trust as much as I trusted him. For me, there is nothing casual about earning my trust or proving my trustworthiness. These are exercises to me. I'm intentional in what I do to prove I am trustworthy and the trustworthiness of others to me. So, when my friend passed away, I lost, not only one of my dearest friends, but a lot of time and effort establishing our mutual trustworthiness. I'm sure some psychiatrist/psychologist would have a field day with my psyche but, quite honestly, I am quite content being alone. It is rare that I ask for help and I would rather do it myself and, sometimes, risk serious injury, than have someone hover around me giving their opinion of how it should be done and exposing my real [ugly] self of how I handle stress. Honestly, I would prefer companionship over solitude but my personality doesn't work for most people and finding that exceptional soul exhausts me. My lone wolf persona is not macho or cool, it's just convenient. But one day, it will bite me in the ass. Ecclesiastes 4:12 reads "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." This verse extols the virtues of having a partner and to be alone in life is always a more precarious proposition than having friends. People who travel alone are much more vulnerable. Bottom line; avoid the "lone wolf" mindset. Work [hard] at finding that rare gem (exceptional soul) that knows everything about you and still loves you. My friend used to say "you can't get rid of me that easy". That is a rare, and valued, friend. But, if you insist on being the lone wolf, you better learn to be very, very "bad ass" or stealthy or your crisis survival days will be short-lived.

Preparation to Stop a Mass Shooter

These days, armed citizens have a lot of options for firearms training. One question arising frequently asks, "with so many choices, where should we focus our time and money?" Some say, develop close quarter fighting skills to fend off an up close and personal assault; others note that, with terrorism now occurring on U.S. soil, we need greater accuracy for smaller targets at longer distances. Armed citizens aren’t sure how to prioritize. Don’t train for the average, train for the anomaly. Any competent self-defense practitioner should be able to engage and hit human-sized targets at 50 yards while on the move. Now we are seeing many, many, many instances where shots [during mass shootings] need to be taken at 10, 20 or 25 yards and even more. Interviewer: Just last year, at your training business, you introduced a class to hone skills that may be needed if one is caught up in a mass shooting event. Arguably, a mass shooting event is much less likely than being targeted for a home invasion, car jacking, robbery or sexual assault, to name only a few. Why this focus? Interviewee: At the Academy, we have a saying: We don’t train for the average, we train for the anomaly. Staff Sergeant Andy Brown, USAF, Ret., is the Fairchild Air Force Base Security patrolman who, back in 1994, interdicted and killed the mentally deranged shooter at Fairchild Air Force Base. This individual, a former airman himself, had been discharged, then came back and took out his hatred on the psychological and medical staff at the hospital. Well, Andy had to interdict that individual with his Beretta M9 [handgun] and the investigation shows that he shot that individual from 70 yards away. Well, that is the anomaly, but that is what we train for here at The Firearms Academy of Seattle. We want our students to be able to handle just about anything that life gives them–whether it is an easy five-yard affair where they have to shoot someone a couple of times and the person falls down or whether it’s an active killer 79 yards away.

With summer, vacations usually follow. And with vacations, criminals usually follow. Have fun but don't ignore safety. Even during seemingly harmless situations, travelers need to be, what security professionals describe as, "situationally aware." It's the foundation of personal security. It extends to every minute you're away from home -- whether walking down a street, riding a bus or shopping in a crowded market. Predators look like us and act like us but they are, actually, looking for their next victim.
