Food Storage Mistakes 6. Food Storage Conditions and Containers:   Whether it’s preserving seeds and gardening supplies or preserving food, there’s a right way and a whole lot of wrong ways to do it. I suppose that since it’s been so long since we’ve had to LIVE based upon our understanding of long-term storage of food, it explains why there seems to be so few who understand the proper way to store these items. As such there are all sorts of rumors out there for storing food. So let me give...

Food Storage Mistakes 1: The Food Storage Mentality:   If you care anything at all about being prepared for whatever life throws at you then the best thing you can do is completely eliminate the term “food storage” from your vocabulary.  We’re humans; not squirrels. Mentally we recognize that there’s something inherently wrong with the notion of spending money on something that we’re only go to store away in a dark corner of the attic only to forget it, while our investment decays. It’s not...

  Frequently when the term “emergency” is used, it is usually connected to a visit to the hospital.  In the event of an earthquake, terrorist attack, or pandemic one can expect the hospitals to be taxed greater than 600% of what they are equipped to handle. Ironically, any time you have a situation in which there are more patients than a hospital is equipped to handle, you’re faced with a sub-crisis within your crisis. Today I wanted to give you some real numbers and some real facets to...

Essentials Anyone? There’s a great deal that landed in our laps, Friends; and it’s a great opportunity to get your hands on essentials for a song. So I thought I’d better share it with you.   I finally get to use my corny line: “Your loss is my grain!” *cheesy grin* Normally I’d just tell you what the deal is and go to it, but I’ve been mentioning this on Facebook to folks and I keep getting the same type of questions. So I’m going to go ahead and answer all of the questions that I’ve been...

I frequently address the Ten Principles of Preparedness as being a great road map to pursuing a self-reliant lifestyle. I assert that the 10 Principles are put in order of prioritization and that one will find the truth of these priorities in their day to day living as well as preparing for the more vulnerable  of circumstances. I’m satisfied a hundred times over and over with the completeness and the order of the prioritization as it’s applied to one scenario after another successfully....

  “How much food storage do I need?” For the record, I absolutely loathe the term "food storage." It's no longer used in our household because I'm not a squirrel. As such I don't purchase items which serve no other purpose than to be stuffed away into a corner, only to promise unpleasant eating later.  If I don't eat it or know how to use it, it doesn't come into our home. And if it comes into our home, we use it and are very familiar with it. Now, have said that, the question posed above is a...

What's Happening in the Preparedness Pro Calendar This update highlights upcoming classes taught in Colorado Springs, a lifetime of FRESH nutrition for under $200, and a teaser of what's next for The Preparedness Pro--Hollywood?? Just to name a few... Catching everyone up with the past 4 weeks feels a little more like trying to catch the jet plane from Salt Lake City after it’s already landed at JFK airport, but I’ll do my best because I’d feel awful if I looked back a few weeks from now and...

 I have to say, this is my most hated and loathed 5 word sentence.  Anyone who has the temerity to take control of their future though, aka practices self-reliance, has heard these words, or a derivative thereof way too many times. “When things get rough, I’m coming to YOUR house!” “Why do I need to prepare for anything? I’ll just go to my parents house?” “If the world comes to an end, I’ll just get my gun and find me a Mormon.” I gotta tell you, I even hate hearing these things when they are...

All of us at one time or another think about "what ifs." The fact is that because of our planning for some of the "what ifs" in life we have things that we purchase or do to prepare for them. Things like life insurance, auto insurance, medical insurance, disability insurance, and even unemployment insurance are there for the accidents, emergencies, and bumps in life.   There are some who protect or prepare for life's curves by being particular about what they eat or use in the way of household...
