# Mitch's Quick tips!

## Health, frugal living, tech,
prepping, Bible, and more!

### Health

- Borax (purchased in laundry section)
can be deluded and used as a boron
supplement (see recipes).
- Borax can be used to wash your hair
and it treats dandruff, including
itch. Also wash your dogs with it to
prevent mange. Mix into warm water and
rub into scalp.
- MSM, Magnesium Chloride, and DMSO
can be purchased from farm stores
(Tractor Supply).
- You can use plane Milk-of-Magnesia
as a deodorant (use cotton ball to
apply), also good for acne, and skin
irritations.
- Grape juice can be used to relieve
severe migraines.
- Pineapple juice us 5 times more
effective  than cough syrup, and it
also prevents colds and the flu.
- DMSO can be purchased at farm supply
store in the equine area.
- "An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure", better to take care of
yourself and not get sick, even if it
costs more now.
- Stop buying tooth paste, use baking
soda. Add a few drops of cinnamon or
mint essential oil for flavor.
- Never put anything on you body
that you should not put in your
body. Anything you put on your skin,
your body consumes. Remember that!
- Make your own deodorant (see recipes)
- Lugol's Iodine: When you don't know
the reason why, always take the K
and I.
- Take enough C to be symptom free,
whatever the amount might be.
- Eat like your grand parents did,
if they could not make it, you should
not eat it.
- Sugar depletes the body of minerals,
and competes with vitamin C in the
body.
- Stock lots of  sea salt (with color),
Vitamin C, and Lugol's Iodine. If I
had to only pick three, that is what
they would be!

### Kitchen

- Keep a grease tin for bacon grease,
use it for cooking. Top it with a metal
sink strainer, to strain the grease.
- Get a chest freezer (more efficient
than an upright). When items are on
sale, stock up. Eat what you store,
store what you eat!
- Shop at Aldi and save money over
conventional supermarkets.
- Keep at least three months worth of
food that does not need refrigeration
on hand (don't forget the vitamins).
- Use plastic shopping bags to wrap
food for the chest freezer, drop them
in small boxes to organize them by type
(pork, chicken, etc...).
- Learn to cook from scratch, its
healthier, and saves money.
- Learn to make bone broth, it will
add flavor to dishes and is very good
for you. Save your bones, and leftover
veggie scraps for the broth. No waste!
- Learn to can, dehydrate, and pickle;
build up a pantry of food that does
not require refrigeration.
- Place eggs in water. Bad eggs float,
freshest are on the bottom.

### Prepping

- Create a text file with recipes,
formulas, add contacts and any other
important information. Print it out and
save it in your go bag, get home back,
and inch bag. To serve as a personal
reference in hard times, and as a way
to pass important information on.
- Pesticide: 50% flour and 50% baking
soda, mix and dust on plants.
- Miracle Grow: 1 Gal water, 1 tsp
Epsom salt, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2
tsp ammonia. Mix and give each plant
a quart once a month.
- Fungicide Spray: 1 gal water, 1tbsp
dish soap, 1 tbsp backing soda, 1 tbsp
olive oil. Mix and spray.
- Use toilet paper roll insert (brown
part) for seed starters.
- "Prepare for the worst, hope for
the best", plan as if things are not
ever going to improve and act. If and
when they do, you will have a better
appreciation of what you have.
- "The more you know, the less you
need", skills are very important in
hard times. Spend time learning them
and practicing them.
- "Two is as good as one, one is as
good as none"
- Go camping once a year make sure you
have a good tent, stove, etc... Now
you will be ready for both bug out and
grid down (if you have no power, camp
in the living room with sleeping bags,
flashlights, make a blanket fort to
keep heat in).
- If you own a car or truck, always
keep an inverter in it (600 watt
minimum) with a long outdoor extension
cord. Now its a generator.
- Keep a "get home bag" in you
car/truck. In case of SHTF and you need
to get home on foot, or just survive
(see prepping guide).
- EDC (Every Day Carry): Always
carry a lighter, knife (Swiss army or
Leatherman), analog watch (can use as
a compass), handkerchief (many uses),
flash light, and some cash stuffed
away. Better to have it and not need
it than need it and not have it.
- Always purchase Vitamin C, borax,
baking soda, and washing soda in
bulk. Learn what to used them for,
make sure you keep them on hand. So
many uses, so important.
- Get some 5 gallon buckets and
screw on lids. Store caned meats,
rice, beans, vitamins, TP, soap,
and trash bags. Use them if needed,
or give away to help others. You can
grow food in them, or put a trash bag
for impromptu toilet.
- Learn how to make alcohol stoves,
cheap, easy and can help you in a
pinch. You can also make a TP/tin
can heater for emergency use. Keep
a few bottles of 90% alcohol on hand
for fuel.

### Tech

- Create truth bombs: 4gb flash drive
with a readme.txt explain what is
going on. Add to it pictures and
videos. Leave them in places that
people can find them.
- Switch to Linux, it's free, does
not have viruses, and is more stable
than Windows. Use free software that
come with it. Better security and less
chance of being spied on as well!
- Switch to a pay as you go flip
phone. No apps, cant be used as a
passport, but you can make and receive
calls (you know, like a phone).
- Get rid of TV, and dump streaming
sites. They are used to brain wash and
condition you.
- Get rid of junk emails, create a rule
that deletes anything with "subscribe"
in it, make it the last rule.
- Ignore unwanted calls: Set your
default ring tone to an empty mp3
file so you don't here calls. Then
set a ring tone for friends/family
and by person or group. If unknown
person/company calls, they can leave
a message. (see cell under mp3 files)
- If you are being harassed by someone,
set your voicemail message to an error
message (see cell under mp3 files)
- If your computer can read/write
microSD cards, backup your data to one
and keep it in your wallet.

### Bible

- Don't use highlighter to mark text,
they tend to bleed. Use a pen and small
ruler to underline. If you want to mark
a large amount, just draw a line top
down next to the section. Its cleaner
and does not mess up the Word of God.
- Bookend your day, start by reading
the Bible each day, and end the day
with a Proverb (31 chapters)
- Get an audio Bible (see MP3's) and
play it when you read, and follow
along. This will make it easier to
remember and teach you how to pronounce
the hard words.
- Get small business card tracks
(store.kjv1611.org) and keep them in
your wallet. Leave them in restrooms,
store shelves, library books, use them
as book marks, etc...
- Write verses and website URLs onto
money with a fine point red (to stand
out) pen. As you spend cash, you are
passing a tract.
- Purchase t-shirts, become a walking
advertisement for The Lord. Magnetic
Scripture Signs sells them, as does
Bible Baptist Bookstore.
- Dial-the-Truth sells buttons to pin
to cloths. Pick up a set, when you
are not wearing a shirt with a verse,
put on a button.
- If you have a computer that the
display is seen by others, set the
desktop picture and screen saver to
a slide show of Bible themes (See
Desktop pictures).
- I picked up 5 KJ Bibles (paperback),
and put a track on the version issue,
a track on what to do if you miss
the rapture, and a small track for a
bookmark, in each of them. They are to
be handed out if needed, left in my car
for homeless, left behind in case I go
to The Lord.

### Other

- If you need to call a company and
talk to a real human: gethuman.com
- Priorities: If you die today, it
would take a week or two to replace
you at work. After a month, you will
be used as an excuse, after that
forgotten. The impact on your family
and friends will last for years. That
is how you set your priorities.
- Don't buy clothes detergent, use a
50 50 mix of super washing soda and
borax. Its cheaper, better for the
environment, hypoallergenic, and does
a good job.
- Buy clothes and other items at thrift
stores. Save money and they take cash.
- Once a year, hang all your clothes
hangers backward. At the end of the
year, anything not hung correctly,
take to the thrift store.
