After reading this entire string, I feel absolutely blessed that I have been able to acquire three of the items mentioned here for the purposes of preserving food. I have a 22 quart pressure canner (Presto, I think) a 10 rack LEM dehydrator (it looks like a stainless steel box with 10 racks...

Well, I don't get any horse manure, but the cattle are VERY generous by returning what I feed them INSIDE the barn. The really funny thing is that for the longest time, I thought that the floor of that shed was dirt so I started to scrape up some of that good fertilizer and hit cement...

By now it is early summer and you should have some results of that garden. How is it going?

:welcome I am particularly interested in your Aquaponic adventure. I have been studying this for a while. (it takes me some time before I try something because I have to adapt everything to a much colder environment with a significantly shorter growing season). I am told there is a guy who...

What she said!!!!:clap :woot :thumbsup

Exactly! Frankly, the term "prepping" is another of the many ways we have destroyed the English language. Most of the people who are "prepping" (and I really do detest that term") have been stocking things that have short shelf lives and are NOT renewable. I am often amazed at the wisdom found...

When one reviews the title of this thread, one is forced to answer a very difficult question. I have been thinking about this before I answered it because it demands great thought. I have decided that "What I am preparing for" is my waning years when I can no longer work and my health is...

Sorry, hit the submit button twice...

Greetings Ladies, I couldn't help reading this entire string because the subject is DEFINITELY a "post-event" concern for everyone...not just women. As I read this string I noticed that not one man had the courage to get into this topic. I'm sure that by now you all know that I DO have that...

Hope things are doing better now. Things up here are beginning to change. Grass is green...finally.

Gets cold and messy where I live. I handle it, but there is a time and a season for everything...my guess is that season needs to change up here now! Obviously, others are having the same problem...what a drag. Saepe Expertus, Semper Fidelis, Fratres Aeterni Trim sends //BT//

Glad you had a "HOT one". It is up to 30F tonight. The snow that was supposed to clobber us went south and hit Sioux Falls as well as Rapid City on the far west of the state. We are NOT having spring yet. I am able to see where my garden is SUPPOSED to be but the heavy piles of snow placed...

That storm is scheduled to hit us up here, too! I think this has gone far enough. I believe we need to file for FEMA assistance to stop this abuse of our world... :clap

The most dangerous man in the entire planet...the guy with his finger on "THE button"

:welcome Good to have you here. We're looking forward to hearing about your "world"! I read you answers to the questions and like Denim Deb says, "I feel like I already know you!" Saepe Expertus, Semper Fidelis, Fratres Aeterni Trim sends //BT//

Oxygen absorbers are not really necessary in every instance. I got a large bottle (D size) with food grade Nitrogen. I put the food into a food grade bucket and wash out the air with Nitrogen. This should give you a great deal of shelf life. If you "vacuum pack" it first, putting it into a...

That is one handsome critter you got there. Bet he can pull "his weight" when needed! How do you like the "high tech" nesting boxes? Trim sends //BT//

I will begin by saying this is MY Opinion, not based on anything but MY OPINION so here goes. You mention that you are on someone elses land. As long as you are on someone elses land, they will have the right to wait until you have built them a beautiful "Turn-Key" operation for THEIR survival...

There are those who will work for the preservation of society and those who will work only for the preservation of their own body. There will be no guessing once that begins. You will know them. You will have to decide exactly how you want to deal with it. There are many choices but the main...

My approach is this: "If you are not a SLAVE to the system, collapse of the system will not affect you." There are enough "natural" disaster issues to be had that being "outside" the box" offers much more self-confidence and comfort. This is where I choose to be. Put you money into things...
