Lifesaver Bottle 4000 Ultra Filtration Water Bottle
Originally invented in 2004 to provide clean drinking water during natural disasters, the Lifesaver 4000 is also ideal for hikers, campers, and travelers.
The Lifesaver 4000 measures 12.5 x 4.5 x 4.5 inches and weighs 22 ounces. While this is considerably larger and heavier than most other pocket water filters, it can process over 1000 gallons (4000 liters) of water from a single filter cartridge. Most other portable filters have cartridges that need to be replaced after 200-500 gallons (750-2000 liters).
To use the Lifesaver 4000 bottle, unscrew the base and pump a few times. This creates pressure in the bottle and forces water through the filter and out the nozzle. The filter treats about 0.75 liters per minute. The cartridge of the Lifesaver 4000 is designed to shut off when it reaches the end of its life to prevent users from accidentally drinking contaminated water.
Since the Lifesaver Bottle 4000 was designed for use in areas subject to all sorts of waterborne pathogens, it filters and purifies water. This means that in addition to removing microorganisms like bacteria and protozoa, it also protects against viruses. This isn’t necessary in places with a low risk of viruses (e.g. most North American wilderness areas), but you should always purify the water in areas where there’s a risk of fecal contamination, like heavily used parks, developing nations, conflict areas, and disaster zones.
Quick Tips on Preparing for an Emergency
The Human tendency is to believe, “it will never happen to me”, but it is our responsibility as parents, friends, and neighbours to be prepared. I encourage you to share stories, experiences, and lessons in dealing with emergencies so others can benefit from your learnings.
3 main steps to getting prepared:
- Get a Kit
- Make a Plan
- Stay Informed
Get a Kit
Most people have a false sense of security by thinking the flashlight they have stored in the kitchen drawer and Band-Aid package in the bathroom is sufficient for dealing with emergencies. It is extremely important that every family have a comprehensive emergency safety kit that is portable, and pre-composed as opposed to scattered throughout the house. If your family needs to respond quickly to an emergency you won’t have the time to scurry through your house to collect the necessary tools to help cope with these situations. It is also impossible to think clearly when you’re in a state of panic. The only sensible option is to prepare for an emergency BEFORE it occurs. Thus make sure your family has a complete emergency kit stored in an accessible place and make sure everyone in the family knows where this kit is located.
Your family’s emergency kit is more than a first aid package and flashlight. A comprehensive kit contains the following elements:

News channel 5 confirms door-to-door questioning of food supplies in Tennessee while canneries downplay initial reports
Citizens in Tennessee are being asked by government workers to divulge details about their preparedness plans in a door-to-door “assessment” program reported by Janet Kim from local news channel 5. During this assessment, government workers ask residents 22 questions about their preparedness status. NaturalNews has confirmed through reliable sources that these include questions about emergency food supplies.
Fortunately, this effort is being done by a Tennessee group of state employees who are widely recognized throughout the preparedness community as being “good guys” who are truly just trying to help people get prepared. They are not interested in confiscation or anything of the kind, according to our sources. It’s a local community preparedness support effort.
On another front, three days ago Oath Keepers reported that their chapter president in Tennessee was told by a local cannery federal agents were demanding customer lists (http://www.naturalnews.com/034371_f…). This account quickly went viral across alternative news websites, and the news exploded across the ‘net.
The Tennessee cannery that originally relayed that account to Oath Keepers has backed off their account and is now telling customers who call that federal agents never visited their cannery. Oath Keepers has posted an update confirming this.
The change in this first-hand account has many people scratching their heads, as this story was confirmed face-to-face by none other than Oath Keepers Tennessee Chapter President Sgt. Rand Cardwell, a USMC veteran (Desert Storm) with a solid reputation. There is virtually no possibility that Sgt. Rand Cardwell invented this story, as he is widely known to be a trustworthy individual who honorably served his country as a U.S. Marine.
A far more likely explanation may be found in the Patriot Act itself, which features a sneak-and-peek with a gag order provision that allows federal agents to conduct searches of any facility and then gag the witnesses from speaking about it for at least one year, after which they may challenge the gag order. The existence of this sneak-and-peek gag order is widely acknowledged and easily verified through common web searches. Even NPR reported on it several years ago: http://www.npr.org/news/specials/pa…
Investor Jim Rogers Gives Dire Warning on GBTV
“Jim, economic collapse with the euro: will that lead to a recession?” asks Glenn Beck.
“That will lead to the end of the world as we know it,” answers Jim Rogers, founder of Rogers International Commodities Index. “That will certainly lead to the end of the world as Washington D.C. knows it. There’s no question about that.”
But who is Jim Rogers and what does he know about the global financial situation?
For those unfamiliar with Beck’s guest, Jim Rogers is a famous American investor who, along with George Soros, founded the Quantum Fund, one of the world’s first international funds. Also, as mentioned above, he is the creator of the Rogers International Commodities Index.
He is a well-known proponent of free market capitalism, a successful author, a regular lecturer of finance at the Columbia University Graduate School of Business, and he has been a regular guest on Fox News’ “Cavuto on Business.”
Needless to say, he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to finances and he has repeatedly proven his keen market sense.
“We do live in very perilous times and I hope you’re very careful and I hope you’re prepared,” Rogers said in regards to the… Continue reading
Weather Extremes Hint At Public Health Impacts Of Climate Change
After a year of unprecedented destruction attributed to weather extremes, federal officials and environmental advocates are focusing increased attention on the potential health impacts of global warming, which most scientists expect to spur not just more frequent instances of extreme heat, but also increases in rainfall, drought, snow, floods and violent storms.
“Climate change poses a serious threat to public health,” Dr. George Luber, the associate director for climate change at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Thursday. Luber was speaking to reporters as part of the launch of an online, extreme-weather mapping tool developed by the Natural Resources Defense Council.
“We have to really understand the local context of these extreme events and how they impact our communities by looking at them in what we call a spatially specific way, or in a way that really gets down to the geography of risk,” Luber said, “by addressing those particular aspects of our communities, our cities and our populations that make people more susceptible to the negative health consequences of climate change.”
Secret Underground Bases
Did the Mayan calendar correctly predict the end of the world in 2012? In this episode Jesse Ventura and his team of investigators speak with scientists and experts that are convinced that solar flare-ups will cause massive electrical grid failures that will result in nationwide failure of all basic city services, bringing about utter chaos and panic in America. Jesse also investigates how America’s elite are preparing for the 2012 doomsday by building secret underground facilities, including a massive underground facility located right under the Denver International Airport.
