Those who have used the Silica Gel packs in mason qt.jars,what size are recommeded.I've gone to a couple site selling them, but haven't found a suggested size desiccant for a qt.jar of dry beans,etc.One place sells 3000 packets per pail, size 0.87"x 2.13" for about $150.00 I tried googling for...

I don't have any Amish living nearby. You folks living near the Amish would know.I am surprised to read these things and have never read or heard the new Amish stories until his thread.I still believe we can learn allot from the Amish, but have to say, you guys have changed my perception a...

Shadey Brooks Farm turkey bacon, i buy it when on sale 2/5.00 in 12oz. package.Normally it is $3.49 12oz...

Yep, thats pretty much true FC.However,my garden is way to big to hoe by hand, plus i'm no spring chicken...lol( and i ain't ready to down size my growing stuff yet). So the horse drawn ways of the Amish are very appealing to me, as opposed to the typical fuel and chem. fertilizer dependant...

How do you know, most wouldn't want to be Amish FarmeChick...? I'll bet you'd be surprised how many common folks would trade all the stress and expense of the typical American lifestyle for a simple Amish life. Is that not possible..? I don't watch TV and sure don't miss it, nor own a cell...

Don't know much about the Amish religion, perhaps that is what makes them so successful..? I don't know...

The Amish may not be as isolated as they have been in the past.However, you don't see them wth TV's, cell phones, gas powered auto's, computers,etc.The Amish as a people are thriving and expanding, and run large successful buisnesses.The only oil base product they us is lube for their horse...

Well we clearly do have a different point of view OK.However, the facts are clear, they are not my opinion , they are our present day truths and reality.I would suggest you go back and read what Mark(Koxxx) took the time to post for us earlier in this thread.These are the facts of our fiscal and...

BarredBuff...thanks for starting this thread, you and Mark have really brought it home.I agree Lighthawk, what OK doesn't seem to get, as Mark pointed out is, our nation has never had so many bad things happening at once, as is now going on now...these people just don't get it.Sorry, but i see...

Great thread...i'm just amazed at the denial i'm reading..! What Mark noted and other realist, is on target. "Relax" be vigilant..is IMO....well, heads hidden in the sand...The plain truth is, were screwed and big trouble will be here in abundance sooner than you think.You can hide, deny and put...

Gina...the mylar bags the LDS sell are 1 gal. 11"x 13" they come in a box of 250 and cost $94.00. They are heavy 7 mil mayar bags,most survival sites sell 3-5mil bags at much higher prices.The LDS saints call them Dry Pack Pouches. The item number is 81381000, the toll free number is...

Thanks for sharing everyone, some great sounding ideas and recipes...!

JRmom , i can't tell from the pics Jane posted on her blog if she bought the Kitchen Queen.I didn't see any mention of it being the KQ, but the one i was talking about is made by the Amish.Did she say in another post on her blog it was a KQ...? I know of only one cookstove called the KQ. Thanks...

Aother thing the LDS offer are heavy duty maylor bags that are equal to a #10 can.I have been all over the internet, no one has stronger mylar bags at such a lower price.They only sell the one size, and they are nice and strong.I have bought many for storing beans, rice and grains.In addition to...

I figure since i've always been able to get plenty of good firewood to heat with in the past 35 yrs, and oil gas prices unstable, the future is here BarredBuff..! Trouble is lack of funds.With Arab Spring in full swing, who knows what the hecks going to happen with energy prices.?I never did...

Good luck with your recipe at home,Wifezilla..:) Sure does sound like a good mix of ingredents for my salads..thanks for sharing..

I think your right Bubblingbrooks, its not a fancy one with all the bells and whistles like some.I guess you could call it the plain Jane of wood cookstoves, but one heck of workhorse..! I've looked at and wanted a good cookstove for sooooo long.I always wanted one for lasting durabilty and...

I'm in the mist fo a bumper crop of figs. I'd like to make some fig jam or preserves, but all the recipes i've seen all seem to have tons of sugar which i can do without..! I don't want to use splenda or the likes.Does anyone have a recipe for preserves or jam without so much sugar.? Has anyone...

I've been looking at wood cookstoves again.I've looked at a number of different ones, and think the Kitchen Queen is close to what i want.It also seems to be the best bang for the buck.It has a large firebox and oven, and can heat 25 gal of water(option) which can be plumbed into your homes hot...
