Survivalist Tip: As a token of appreciation to the Mayan gods for sparing your life when the apocalypse hits and allowing you to continue into the next Baktun, buy some traditional Indian blankets. I’m not talking about the flimsy ones made by kids in the slums of Mumbai. I mean good old fashioned North American Indian blankets; the type used for centuries by peoples like the Cherokee, Sioux, Kiowa and Detroit. They were hand-woven from the finest parts of bison and deer hides. Of course, you won’t have to slaughter any bison or deer and try to make an Indian blanket yourself. Just buy several from a reputable and authentic Native American shop or company. They’ll keep you warm during the likely power outages that will occur on December 21. Besides, they’re chic and fashionable; it’s how the native peoples of North America lived for eons before they invented centralized heating.
