Man, sometimes I wish I could write like this. Then again, I bet some of you wish I did with all of the “supporting information” right there at your fingertips.
I would say “enjoy the article” but I’m not sure it’s exactly an article one can “enjoy”

It’s all about layered potato growing.
Today I’m going to provide you with just a few “just in case” words of wisdom. These aren’t necessarily the most important or the most commonly forgotten “just in case” things I think about. But they would probably be the first ones I teach to any client. So here you go.

Always keep your gas tank as full as possible. Set the half full mark as your “refill mark.” What if you need to bug out of town, or dash for an emergency of some other kind? The last thing you want to do is stop and get gas.

To start with, yes, there is an abundance of information available on the internet. However, a word of warning. In order to get the most reliable information for your mental preparedness,
This will be a short one, folks, as I have 5 hours of teaching and 3 hours of traveling to do today. Which brings me to my point.

[/caption] So what’s in my buckets of wheat? Diatomaceous earth! Don’t worry. You don’t have to pronounce it. Just USE it. What is diatomaceous earth? Well, it’s a HECK of a lot better than oxygen absorbers. It doesn’t suffocate wheat and it easily takes care of the weevil eggs that are inherent in all wheat.

There’s not much you can do against the forces of Mother Nature or a nuclear warhead right in your midst. But what we must prepare against and CAN prepare for is what is called the “Secondary Kill.”

If you’re in Las Vegas, NV; Henderson, NV; Gilbert, AZ; Southeast Gilbert, AZ; or Mesa, AZ you should feel pretty darn special cause you’re getting a product that isn’t available anywhere else. Costco now has 2 special 6-packs of the Morning Moo’s/Blue Chip foods that they are selling. In one 6 pack they have “breakfast items” and in another 6-pack they have “dinner items.” The 6-packs contain 6 #10 cans. Some of these items are SO dang good I can’t believe they are freeze dried!
