In the prepper community, there are several sayings or mottos, such as, “Two is one and one is none.” In other words, it’s a good idea to have multiple backups of important items. Another prepper principle is to substitute singular items for ones that can be multipurpose. Why are we bringing this up? Because it has to do with today’s topic of finding alternatives to everyday items.Imagine if you will, that some big event has happened such as a pandemic or war, and it has affected the world supply chain or at least the supply chain of your country.

There is no shortage of massage guns on the market. You can find massagers that range in price from $50 to well over $500, but they’re all fairly similar in form and function. For the most part, every massager you’ll find is vaguely shaped like a gun and uses percussive force to massage muscle tissue. The Rally Orbital Massager ($499) breaks this trend with a unique wand-shaped design and, more importantly, an amazing rotational motion instead of percussion. In lieu of the usual handle-and-barrel style, the Rally is somewhat shaped like a Maglite flashlight, featuring a handle and a thicker…
When it comes to people saying things that I know to be wrong, I tend to assume the mistake was made in good faith. I don’t want to say people are lying just because they’re wrong. There’s a difference between the two, and it’s an important one. To lie, one has to be aware of the truth and choose to say something they know to be false. If they’re unaware of the truth, it’s not a lie. They’re just wrong.If they don’t believe the truth, it’s not a lie. They’re just wrong. Very wrong.But a…

This article was originally published by Willow Tohi at Natural News. A CDC advisory panel voted to end the universal recommendation that all newborns receive a hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth. For infants born to mothers who test negative for hepatitis B, the decision is now one of “individual-based decision-making” between parents and doctors. The change follows scrutiny of the vaccine’s necessity for low-risk infants and criticism of its original safety trials, which lasted only days. The policy had been in place since 1991, despite hepatitis B primarily being a risk for adults through specific behaviors or…
A 100% service-connected disabled veteran receiving benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs said he pays nothing for his medical care, dental, vision or prescriptions. So when he got his Medicare Part B card in the mail, he had questions: Could he keep his VA benefits? Would Medicare cover prescriptions the VA doesn’t? What about dental?The roughly 300,000 veterans who turn 65 each year may share his confusion. With Medicare Part B premiums jumping to $202.90 per month in 2026, understanding what you actually need matters.Medicare and VA Don’t Work TogetherHere’s the most important thing to understand: Medicare and VA benefits…

While getting stuck in muck is rare — it does occasionally happen. An experienced hiker found that out the hard way in Arches National Park on Sunday, when a normal day on the trail turned into a scary ordeal. Austin Dirks, 33, was walking through the upper end of the park’s Courthouse Wash area just before sunrise when his left leg broke through what he assumed was solid ground. He was able to remove his leg, only to step more firmly onto the right leg, which felt like he “had stepped into concrete,” according to an interview with local news station…
Saying that gun rights are civil rights shouldn’t be controversial. After all, most of what we term as civil liberties are enshrined in the Bill of Rights, from freedom of speech and religion to protection against illegal search and seizure, and many others. The Second Amendment is smack dab in the middle of all of those. Saying the right to keep and bear arms is a civil right isn’t controversial; it’s obvious. But some people can’t seem to wrap their gray matter around that.Among them are some critics of the Department of Justice actually treating…
To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies. On Monday, UK attorney Andy McDonald revealed that he had spoken. “Few worry about catching Covid anymore, as it’s just a matter of time before they do,” says Tea, a teacher at a school for…
Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn The Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.
