Bacon, bacon, B-A-C-O-N! There are some foodies who consider bacon to be the Food of the God’s. While Paula Deen has her well-known belief of “you can never have enough butter” (and I do SO agree), there are many bacon fans out there that would rather have to listen to a Milli Vanilli Greatest Hits Marathon than do without their bacon. I think we’d encourage a lot more people to carry firearms if we were ever able to convince bacon lovers that zombies might take their precious salted pork...

Preserving eggs in the refrigerator for 9 months is unfathomable to most people, let alone safely preserving eggs that long without refrigeration. But today I’ll make crystal clear how you can preserve eggs worry-free without compromising your health and taste standards and perhaps I’ll even shed some light on how you came to believe that eggs can only be preserved in a refrigerator. I assure you that Kellene has not lost her mind; I’m not some maniacal bad guy accompanied by the theme music...

You can all rest easy now folks; powdered cream cheese does exist and as it turns out, it's yummy. The other week I tried a little experiment. (see the YouTube video) I got my hands on some freeze-dried powdered cream cheese. To test it out I decided to try and make one of the most “cream-cheese dependent” recipes that  I could think of. Cheesecake. I’ve got a hankering for dairy. While I don’t believe in preparing for the world to end, I do feel that it might as well be done without my real...

While we watch with shock and awe as meat prices skyrocket an unprecedented 25%+, with promises of more historical increases in the near future, allow me to give you a friendly reminder: Zaycon Foods—the best way to save on meat without having to raise your own livestock is now having a great deal on bacon. My most recent purchase of bacon from them resulting in a cost of a whopping 53 cents per pound out of pocket, definitely convinced me that this good news bears repeating. Bacon for Cheap!...

National Geographic Announces The Date of Their Premiere Season for "Doomsday Preppers" Some may have thought it wasn't ever going to return, but they were wrong. Yay! You've heard it here first! National Geographic's Doomsday Preppers is a go! Their first episode of their Season Premiere will be on February 7th, 2012, (That's a Tuesday) at 9:00 p.m. (I'm presuming that's Eastern Time as most shows are advertised as such.)

When Christmas time rolls around I’m instinctively drawn to some of the more old-fashioned Christmases in the form of decorations, recipes, enjoyable traditions, etc.  While I love the modern conveniences of today as much as the next person, for some reason the more old-fashioned approach to Christmas just lifts my spirits. So in the spirit of Christmas I thought I’d share with you 3 of my best recipes that I love to use at this time of year. I learn these kinds of recipes from historical...

A little over 2 months ago, I shared in one of our updates that I would recommend folks taking the opportunity to stock up on some key products, specifically dairy products which I felt were going to skyrocket due to a domino effect of compromised harvests, droughts, and tainted resources that were relied upon to meet demands.  In that update I went further to urge all of our readers to anticipate that meats would be increasing significantly as the ripple effect of these issues would soon be...

There’s a whole lot of shaking going on throughout the U.S. lately with all of the earthquakes. (Oklahoma having the largest one at 5.9 just this past Saturday and a swarm of over 700 earthquakes in the Sierra County, CA since August). And I have to say, it feels like there’s LOTS going on with Preparedness Pro nowadays too. So I’ll get you all up to date, address a couple of tidbits that are relevant to your self-reliance efforts, and share with you a couple of new features with Preparedness...

BETTER GET YOUR PEANUT BUTTER THIS WEEKEND. IT WILL BE UP 40% ON MONDAY DUE TO CROP DAMAGE. THAT EXPLAINS WHY SAMS CLUB WAS OUT OF MY FAVORED JIF PEANUT BUTTER ALL WEEK LONG. PASS IT ON. OK. So now it's Monday and you're wondering what's all the hoopla?  First of all, I've got to apologize for not giving you a heads up sooner. I noticed some unusually low stashes of peanut butter in the stores this week, but had no idea why? In two of the big warehouses here, the mainstream peanut butter was...

Let’s talk about this whole “gourmet food storage” phrase that I keep seeing all over the place. I’m really having a hard time accepting that anyone is falling for the concept of “gourmet food storage.”  Doesn’t anyone else see the oxymoron in calling something "gourmet food storage?"  Has someone figured out a way to freeze-dry roasted asparagus with a rum pear spinach salad served alongside roasted pork in a pear butter barbeque sauce? What exactly is it that qualifies a freeze-dried or...
