    Woke up this morning early to a freezer meltdown! Spent my day canning meat. Y’all NEED to have a pressure canner and learn how to use it. I am so grateful for a friend who taught me this skill three years ago. Right now, my empty freezer is up and running again but that canner and knowing how to use it has saved us a lot of heartache. Love ya, Patara!

    *JUST A QUICK NOTE*
    Ladies, especially to us single ladies, (I am nearly 60, single for a long time)
    There's nights that I feel like satan is just waiting for me to try going to sleep, depressing thoughts try creeping in, thoughts like "you can't", your too old, blah blah blah. I just want to encourage you and remind you #1 God hears us, he knows our needs, he knows our heart. That doesn't mean we are to set around and do nothing thinking he is going to send door dash to our front door lol, but I truly believe our efforts will not go unnoticed. If you are watching people like Patera I can nearly guarantee as far as your skills and prepping inventory goes you are in the top 10% of Americans that has a fighting chance to survive whatever our future holds. So give yourself a slap on the back and a thumbs up.
    Times may get alot tougher, everything we are doing today only helps eliminate future stress.
    Thank you to the people that leave comments, regarding helpful suggestions on different things that they have learned or figured out, especially when it comes to herbs and natural remedies. Those are priceless especially the ones that grandparents and great grandparents passed down, that is knowledge that is hard to find.
    God bless you.

We could not get wheat flour at Omaha or Wichita. The North and South Mill in Omaha are 65 years old and the mill in Wichita is 23 years old. But neither one was working last week because a shortage of wheat. Put wheat flour on your list now. Buy it now. Just my view

    Was on the floor for 6 hours ( 11pm to 4am ) . Had a cell phone on the table I could reach (only use the cell phone for emergency"s-so forgot I had one ) . Then the paramedics could not find my hidden key to enter my house (live alone ) . Who would think you could not open your door or could not call for help . Could have died in my home .

      Just remember the best defense for power out in cold is to also protect your pipes! Invest in a cheap ventless propane heater. It'll cost a few hundred to get it hooked up and a propane tank filled. But you'll be thankful you have it. When everybody needs a plumber to repair pipes after a winter outage, it makes for a miserably long wait.

    PATERA,I have a little tip that maybe you could put out there to our communities. Canned foods, dont rely on the paper labels on your cans, use a permanant marker to write the contents of the can on the lid. That paper on the can can go away very easily from numerous reasons. Nothing more aggravating than a can with no label. Mark your cans with the content. Trust me on this

    • @georgiafrancis9059
      @georgiafrancis9059 Pƙed 14 dny +11

      I also use a marker to write the exp date on the FRONT of the can and then use the older cans first. I live in a small apartment so my space is limited. I can't stock 10 of everything!

    When buying candles for storage get unscented candles. When you are burning several and they all smell it can be overload very quickly.
    Buy solar lights that people use in their yards. If you can only afford Dollar Tree lights get them. Lights from the big box stores work better. Charge them during the day and bring them in at night. Works great and is much safer than candles.
    Personal care products such as feminine hygiene products. Life will be stressful enough without worrying about pads and tampons.
    Have a backup plan in case your toilet doesn’t work. Be extremely careful where you would dump the waste. You don’t want to contaminate your area and make everyone sick.
    Have extra vinegar and baking soda. You can use both for many purposes including cleaning.
    5 gallon buckets are great storage containers. They are also waterproof so important items can go in them too.
    Don’t be too concerned about expiration dates. Those are “suggested” dates and a way to get you to throw away good food and buy more.
    My husband and I started prepping in 2008 when the housing market crashed. We had just about all the bases covered. We moved out of state in 2018 and could not bring everything. So much has happened to us since we moved. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and my husband had a major heart attack. Our chances of making it through a major event are not the best now but you can bet we will go down fighting.
    May God bless you all.

    Yes, everyone DOES need a bug out bag, because it may not be a choice if you are forced to evacuate immediately or are running out the door in an emergency. You would NOT CHOOSE to have a house fire, a train derailment chemical spill in your neighborhood, a wildfire, extreme flooding or a medical emergency for a member of your household. Being able to grab a bag with cash, snacks, water bottles, change of clothing, first aid kit and flashlight could be life saving when seconds count!

    I went to a big box store today and did a stock up of 'stuff'. I focused on food and household cleaners and laundry detergent. Buddied up with a friend and we stuck together like glue in the store and parking lot. Stopped when the cart was full. Sticker shock on check out but I'm thankful for what I can add to my pantry.
    I got a puppy not long ago. I thought I had a good stock of first aid supplies. Oh no I didn't. Puppy and I were playing one day and I ended up with a bit of a gash on my wrist. I was amazed at how quickly I worked through my supplies and my Epsom salt. And a prescription antibiotic cream good for dog bites was used and quickly used up.
    For those just starting out - don't be discouraged. I started my pantry build by slowly accumulating cloth napkins and kitchen towels. Bought those used at thrift stores. I then used the money I used to spend buying disposables for my pantry build. And I keep it simple - if I'm buying something for a recipe, I'll buy two. One for today and one for the pantry. Over time the pantry grew and was built around what I actually used.

    This year I switched to buying ground beef and sausage links at the local rancher/butcher shop. I used to buy the grass fed organic beef at Walmart but I occurs to me I have NO IDEA where that meat is coming from. I know this beef is raised and grazes right outside this rural shop 12 mins from my home. The family is heavily involved in our community which we are new to. Nothing against Walmart but this beef is tender and tasty, even cheaper and Im supporting my own community. This shop was almost burned to the ground like so many others about 1.5 - 2 years ago. They came back stronger and better so tonight I am processing a canner full of this beef and plan to add more to my pantry each week or two 😉

    Before winter hits, consider gathering all the family at home at one time and doing a trial run of no power usage for 12 hours. Take your lessons learned and be sure to ask the youngest of the family as well; then address them. If 12 hours weren't disastrous for you, then try it for 24 hours.

    Kitchen matches are a great self-defense tool when you know how to use them. Remember that if they ban ammunition and the means to deliver it, you are going to want kitchen matches. 15k match heads in a container, complete with fast burning fuse, will stop any threat in its tracks
    Different topic. If you're a person who lives and works in a major metropolitan city like Boston, you may not necessarily need a vehicle to get around for your daily business because of the subway and public transportation systems. However, you will need one stored in a 20 X 30 unit outside the city limits, and a good bicycle to get to it, so you can exfiltrate out of the city if things go downhill quickly (or start looking that way).
