    Over fifty years ago, my Dad would roll up newspapers, tie them with string, and store them in the rafters in the basement.
    We were without power for at least a week during a winter ice storm in the early '70's.
    Burning Dad's "paper logs" in the fireplace kept us warm until power was restored.

    Anyone over 50 has been saving most of this stuff since we we're 20. Things our parents did and it stuck.
    We get a plastic 2 1/4 gallon publix cat litter and clean it out well, and I used them to store water. Came in handy when we broke a pipe and couldn't flush. They came in handy. We had about 50 of them ready to go.

    I've been Prepping since the late 70's and I have a few different camp stoves with quite a bit of fuel for each. I live on my farm so I have plenty of firewood and a few fire rings. I buy soda pop in glass bottles once in a while and save them. They can store water till you need them to put homemade ketchup in. Most of my dry foods and other dry stuff I keep in large airtight totes. I also store liquid cleaning supplies in large totes and I store liquid foods like ketchup, mustard, etc in large totes. I have a butt load of first aid supplies in large totes. I store sugar, potato flakes, powdered milk, etc in new 50cal ammo cans with rubber seals to keep out rodents and moisture. The expense of the cans is nothing for keeping those foods fresh. Keep Prepping my friends.

    As a kid I grew up using bread bags to keep my feet dry in snowy Indiana winters.
    I reuse and reseal 24 oz spaghetti jars for dry beans. I use an Avid Amour vacuum sealer I found on Amazon but sealing isn't necessary for short-term storage. One pound of dry beans fits perfectly in the jar. No worries about mice.
    Many states have websites where you can order free road maps. I bundle several maps from my surrounding states together and vacuum seal them to keep them clean and dry. They fit nicely in a glove box or bug out/get home bag.

I use things from it to fix things, but I also add odd nuts in bolts to it. There have been many times when it saved me a trip to the store because it had just the right bolt or nut that I needed.

    Thanks JR, Brother your the best. While this is not something that most people would consider as a prep, your health is very important especially if medical care is no longer available. Well this is probably the strangest prep you'll hear about, but here goes, I went for a colonoscopy this morning. There's no denying that prepping for this really sucks, but I'm now glad I did it. They removed a polyp that left unchecked could turn cancerous. Get your health in order, get your house in order and get right with our Lord, really bad times are coming.

    I save candle stubs (last inch or two) to use for fire starters. I've managed to get a fire going in moderate rain while camping by making sure that they are somewhat covered by other wood (at least a couple inches above). Light the candle and feed thin kindling in over the flame. The candle will burn for several minutes - lots of time to get things going

    in scouting many moons ago on a 4 days camp each group had to start the days camp fires (for cooking and warmth.) so on my day it poured down raining, i mean so much rain noah was looking for critters to board. we were on our daily 5 mile hike but if it was your turn to start the fires you got a cart ride about 10 minutes before the group was to hike in.(again for cooking and warmth.) most of the dads laughed because as i departed they thought it raining there goes the fire. as i got in had my fire starter ready (lint, wood saw dust, wax and vasaline) i built up the wood, place my fire starter under the pile and lite it. started right up added bigger peices of wood and had a nice fire as the scouts came in (wasn't hard to get started). the adults were impressed (young scouts didn't even ask, they assume it would be there) (as adults they thought adults knew it all) boy do they have a lot to learn. never told them how i did it (really no secret) ate, keep warm that night setting around the fire. knew free stuff does work well when in need and you use the old brain.

    Those little plastic bowls or oval trays used to package microwaveable frozen meals can be washed (by hand or in the dishwasher) and saved for other uses. They are a good alternative to buying disposable paper plates or paper bowls if clean water is in short supply. They can also be useful if you want to feed soup or stew or rice and beans to some survivors of a disaster but do not want to risk that they will walk off with your good plates or bowls.
