On a clear morning in May, Ron Douglas left his home in exurban Denver, eased into his Toyota pickup truck and drove to a business meeting at a Starbucks. Douglas, a bearded bear of a man, ordered a venti double-chocolate-chip Frappuccino — the girliest drink ever, he called it — and then sat down to discuss the future of the growing survivalist industry.

Many so-called survivalists would take pride in keeping far away from places that sell espresso drinks. But Douglas, a 38-year-old entrepreneur and founder of one of the largest preparedness expos in the country, isn't your typical prepper.
At that morning's meeting, a strategy session with two new colleagues, Douglas made it clear that he doesn't even like the word survivalist. He believes the word is ruined, evoking the nut job who lives out in the mountains by himself on the retreat. Instead, he prefers self-reliance.
When prompted by his colleagues to define the term, Douglas leaned forward in his chair. I'm glad you asked, he replied. Take notes. This is good.
For the next several minutes, Douglas talked about emergency preparedness, sustainable living and financial security — what he called the three pillars of self-reliance. He detailed the importance of solar panels, gardens, water storage and food stockpiles. People shouldn't just have 72-hour emergency kits for when the power grid goes down; they should learn how to live on their own. It's a message that Douglas is trying to move from the fringe to the mainstream.
Our main goal is to reach as many people and get the word out to as many people as we can, to get them thinking and moving in this direction, he said. Sound good?
The preparedness industry, always prosperous during hard times, is thriving again now. In Douglas's circles, people talk about the end of the world as we know it with such regularity that the acronym Teotwawki (tee-ought-wah-kee) has come into widespread use. The Vivos Group, which sells luxury bunkers, until recently had a clock on its Web site that was ticking down to Dec. 21, 2012 — a date that, thanks to the Mayan calendar, some believe will usher in the end times. But amid the alarmism, there is real concern that the world is indeed increasingly fragile — a concern highlighted most recently by Hurricane Sandy. The storm's aftermath has shown just how unprepared most of us are to do without the staples of modern life: food, fuel, transportation and electric power.
The survivalist business surged in the wake of 9/11, when authorities instructed New Yorkers to prepare disaster kits, learn how to seal doors and vents with duct tape and be ready to evacuate at any time. Threat-level warnings about possible terrorist attacks kept Americans rattled for years, and were followed by various disasters of other types: the financial meltdown, Hurricanes Katrina and Ike, drought, blackouts and concerns over everything from rising sea levels to Iran's nuclear program.

About Fire Dancing
An urban fire dance
A fireknife dancer with a fire knife
A fire dancer spinning poi consisting of lit wire wool inchicken wire cages, dipped first in paraffin. Long-exposure photography captures the trails created by sparks. While spectacular, this act is particularly dangerous to both the artist and the audience.
Spinning fire dancers of Udaipur perform traditional dance.

Fire dancing (also known as fire twirling, fire spinning, fire performance, or fire manipulation) is a group of performance arts or disciplines that involve manipulation of objects on fire. Typically these objects have one or more bundles of wicking, which are soaked in fuel and ignited.
Some of these disciplines are related to juggling or baton twirling (both forms of object manipulation), and there is also an affinity between fire dancing and rhythmic gymnastics. Firedancing is often performed to music. Fire dancing has been a traditional part of cultures from around the world, and modern fire performance often includes visual and stylistic elements from many traditions.
Fire dancing is a very dangerous performance art, and fire safety precautions should always be taken.

[edit]Fire apparatusesThe various tools used by the fire performance community borrow from a variety of sources. Many have martial sources like swords, staves, and whips, where some seem specifically designed for the fire community. The use of these tools is limited only by the imagination of their users. Some tools lend themselves to rhythmic swinging and twirling, others to martial kata, and others to more subtle use. Some common tools are:
Poi - A pair of roughly arm-length chains with handles attached to one end, and bundle of wicking material on the other.
Staff - A metal or wooden tube ranging from 1-2 meters long with wicking material applied to one or both ends. Staffs are typically used individually or in pairs. juggling three or more is also possible.
Fire hoop - hoop with spokes and wicking material attached.
Fans - A large metal fan with one or more wicks attached to the edges.
Fire umbrella - an umbrella-like performance prop that can be constructed in a variety of ways.
Fire meteor - A long length of chain or rope with wicks, or small bowls of liquid fuel, attached to both ends.
Nunchaku - Nunchaku with wicking material, usually at either end.
Batons
Fire stick - Like a traditional devil stick, with wicks on both ends of the central stick.
Torch - A short club or torch, with a wick on one end, and swung like Indian clubs or tossed end-over-end like juggling clubs.
Fire-knives - Short staves with blades attached to the ends and wicking material applied to the blade. Fireknives are the traditional Polynesian fire implement and have been in use since the 1940s.
Fire rope dart - A wick, sometimes wrapped around a steel spike, at the end of a rope or chain ranging from 6--15 feet long, with a ring or other handle on the opposite end.
Fire sword - either a real sword modified for fire, or one specifically built for the purpose of fire shows.
Chi ball/Fire orb - 2 rings or handles with a wick attached between them by a thin wire.
Finger wands - Short torches attached to individual fingers.
Palm torches - Small torches with a flat base meant to be held upright in the palm of the hand.
Fire hip belt - A motorcycle chain belt with five spokes extending at equal intervals with wicking on the ends.
Fire whips - Lengths of braided aramid fiber tapered to make a bullwhip, usually with a metal handle about 12 inches long.
Fire ropes/snakes - Similar to poi, but has a short 3-5 inch chain attaching the handles to a 12 inch or longer kevlar rope.
Fire jump rope - A jump rope made of kevlar.
The Magic of ReBoot Camp (Costa Rica) Pico Pequeno - Pedro Cruz, Richard Lyons, Miguel Gutierrez
Reboot Camp is about experiencing the locality as much as it is the workouts, and in Tamarindo, that means surfing. Long renowned for its surf due to the gentle, predictable waves and the shallow water, Tamarindo is home to dozens of surfers and instructors. Reboot Campers spend a lot of time between workouts in the waters and on the boards, as much or as little as you like. And while you may not get good enough to surf like those in this video during Reboot Camp, you can easily be on your way. And it's just fun to watch these guys play in the waves.

How Does This Happen:
To start a coconut from the seed, it is best to have the outer fibrous husk intact
Get a 3-gallon pot. Use high quality nursery soil mixed with 40% coarse sand. Add drainage rocks to the bottom of the pot
Lay your coconut husk on the ground and see what way it wants to rest. Plant your coconut husk 1/2 way into the soil in the same position
You can leave the pot in the sun or the shade. Water lightly to keep very lightly moist. Partial shade will likely be more successful
Be patient. The first time we started a coconut from seed it took 9 nine months to sprout. It is common for many palms to take many months to sprout. Don't over water as you'll rot them out.
Your coconut will first split its husk at the bottom and send down some roots. It may take several months before your coconut also splits the top of the husk pushing up its first fronds. In other words, your coconut will be growing and you won't even know it until it splits the top.
Coconut
Cocos nucifera
Description: This tree has a single, narrow, tall trunk with a cluster of very large leaves at the top. Each leaf may be over 6 meters long with over 100 pairs of leaflets.
Habitat and Distribution: Coconut palms are found throughout the tropics. They are most abundant near coastal regions.
Edible Parts: The nut is a valuable source of food. The milk of the young coconut is rich in sugar and vitamins and is an excellent source of liquid. The nut meat is also nutritious but is rich in oil. To preserve the meat, spread it in the sun until it is completely dry.
Other Uses: Use coconut oil to cook and to protect metal objects from corrosion. Also use the oil to treat saltwater sores, sunburn, and dry skin. Use the oil in improvised torches. Use the tree trunk as building material and the leaves as thatch. Hollow out the large stump for use as a food container. The coconut husks are good flotation devices and the husk's fibers are used to weave ropes and other items. Use the gauzelike fibers at the leaf bases as strainers or use them to weave a bug net or to make a pad to use on wounds. The husk makes a good abrasive. Dried husk fiber is an excellent tinder. A smoldering husk helps to repel mosquitoes. Smoke caused by dripping coconut oil in a fire also repels mosquitoes. To render coconut oil, put the coconut meat in the sun, heat it over a slow fire, or boil it in a pot of water. Coconuts washed out to sea are a good source of fresh liquid for the sea survivor.
