Survivalist Tip: Stockpile spices. I’m not talking ginger and nutmeg! I mean real Native American spices like juniper berry, vanilla, red chili peppers and peyoté. These are indigenous to North America, and the native peoples utilized them both for food flavoring and as elements in their religious ceremonies. Possession of these items will safeguard your passage across the barren wastelands of the apocalypse. The Mayan spirits will look kindly upon you and your loved ones. Besides, these spices are good for body and mind. The vanilla will blot out the bad taste of the food rations you might have to consume for a while; the red chili peppers will ease any nasal congestion you might develop inhaling the fumes of all the dead bodies; and the peyoté will eliminate any remnants of your life B.A. (Before the Apocalypse). Trust me! I wouldn’t be passing on this advice if I hadn’t already experimented.
