Off Grid Communication

This is something to think about - how to communicate if the grid goes down or in a SHTF situation.

 

ZOLEO Satellite Communicator – Two-Way Global SMS Text Messenger & Email, Emergency SOS Alerting, Check-in & GPS Location – Android iOS Smartphone Accessory

• 🌎ZOLEO GLOBAL TWO-WAY SATELLITE COMMUNICATOR: Rugged, GPS location-aware and Iridium satellite based, the ZOLEO device links with the free ZOLEO app on your smartphone or tablet to keep you connected when outside cell coverage. Monthly subscription required: $20, $35 or $50 (25, 250 or unlimited satellite messages) with cellular, Wi-Fi and SOS messaging included. After the initial 3-month commitment, suspend for just $4/mo. Plans currently available in USA, Canada, Australia, but work globally.
• ✉️GLOBAL MESSAGING AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE: Only ZOLEO extends your messaging coverage to everywhere on earth transmitting over the lowest cost network available (satellite, cellular or Wi-Fi). ZOLEO offers a familiar text messaging experience to and from any SMS text number, email address or another ZOLEO app user. By taking advantage of cellular or Wi-Fi when available and the Iridium network (a truly global satellite network) when it isn’t, only ZOLEO offers seamless coverage wherever you go!
• 📲DEDICATED SMS PHONE NUMBER & EMAIL ADDRESS: Your ZOLEO device includes a dedicated US SMS text number and email address that you can share with contacts that you want to remain accessible to, and that they’ll recognize when you message them. Contacts can send messages directly to your SMS number, email address or via the free ZOLEO app. It’s that simple!
• 🆘EMERGENCY SOS & MORE: If something goes wrong, declaring an SOS ensures your SOS alert and GPS coordinates are sent to GEOS, our 24/7 emergency monitoring and dispatch partner. Other safety features include check-in to let others know you’re OK (using built-in device button or the ZOLEO app) and the ability to add your GPS coordinates to any message. Location Share+ (add-on at $6/mo) allows for automatic location sharing at a selected interval including a breadcrumb trail viewable in a map.
• 💪RUGGED AND BUILT TO WORK FOR DAYS: Long-lasting battery life – 200+ hours or 8+ days checking messages every 12 minutes (Lithium-ion battery). Lightweight (5.3 oz) and compact (3.58 x 2.6 x 1.06 in), the ZOLEO device is rugged with MIL-STD 810G shock-resistance, and superior dust- and water- resistance (IP68). Power input – Micro-USB Type B with a charging time of 2 hours. Operating temperature – -4°F to 131°F.

Food Storage Recipe - Coffee Mug Cake

 

Make several individual desserts, right in your mugs. Cool!!
This is easy as 1-2-3.

1. You will need two cake mixes. One must be Angel Food, the other your choice.

2. MIX THE TWO TOGETHER, now forming one cake mix, in an airtight container and seal it.

3. When you want a treat, get a coffee mug, add 3 Tablespoons of the Cake Mix, and 2 Tablespoons of Water. Microwave 1 minute. (Please note, depending on your microwave, this could vary a little.)

Yummy! This mixture here is apparently just 180 calories - not bad when you need something sweet without overdoing it!!!

Powerless (Off-Grid) Appliances For Your Kitchen

Your kitchen is really the most important room of the home. That makes it even more important to make sure if everything goes off-grid and you have no power , you will still have a functioning kitchen.

Coffee is a very important item in most homes. So having a Coffee Pot – Coffee Percolator. With a Percolator you can make coffee on a wood stove, campfire, firepit, etc 

Being able to cook many different ways is also a must-have - a Solar Cooker Oven is a great and easy way to be able to cook. Use a Covered Dutch Oven in your solar cooker will give you so many options of items to cook! 

You might need to mix stuff up for a recipe and having a hand powered mixer will be very useful. I found mine at an antique mall.   

A Stove Top Iron Waffle Maker could be something very useful. Like the percolator there are many ways to use this, campfire etc.

  Manual Butter Churner - you have to have butter! I am going to try this with powered milk. hmmm or something like that. I know I read it somewhere - so need to hunt that recipe down to print off.

 This one if for the fun of it, a Campfire Popcorn Campfire Firepit Popcorn Popper. Gotta have some fun every once in a while. Give something for the kids to do. 

 Folding Camp Stove Toaster for all of your homemade bread that you will be making. Slather on some of the homemade butter and YUMMY! 

You will not be able to eat a lot of items with out having the most important thing in the kitchen - a Manual Handheld Strong Can Opener

My son thinks it is so funny. Is it actually growing to where we would get some more tiny potatoes?? It was one of those gemstone potatoes from Walmart. haha

DIY Coffee Can Survival Kit - Survival Supplies List

DIY Coffee Can Survival Kit - Survival Supplies List

 This DIY survival kit can be made with inexpensive supplies and a simple metal coffee can. Make sure the coffee can you are using for your survival kit is modified to be a wood stove also. This simple but efficient survival kit is best for if you break down in an uninhabited area while driving your car. This kit is also ideal for a day trip for hiking, camping, or exploring outdoors. We have a list below of the recommended survival gear to put into your kit.

 

 

The coffee I buy doesn't come in a metal can so I will use a #10 can that I have left from some food storage.

Making More Gifts!!

 

I have spent the day sewing up some homemade microwaveable heating pads for some Christmas gifts. Very easy and quick to make! You have to use 100% cotton fabric and I filled them up with rice. 

Take two pieces of fabric that are approx. 12 inches by 15inches and sew them with the right sides facing each other on 3 sides. Turn them right side out and then measure every 2 inches. I used a fabric pencil to make the lines. Sew them leaving about an inch at the end. Fill each tunnel with rice. Then sew the end shut neatly. 

That is it! 

Place them on a microwave safe plate and into the microwave for about 1 minute 30 seconds. Use the warm pad on your sore back or whatever ache you have.

Organize Your Food Storage

 Now is the most important time to organize your food storage. Get it together!! Use a notebook and write down everything and how many of each you have. With all of the food shortages coming and supply chain breaking - you have got to know what you really need and get it as soon as you can before it is out where you shop! Don't wait until the last minute. Spend the next few days just organizing and tracking what you have and then you will know what you need. Several recipes that I make use specific items and I know that the next time I go shopping I am going to just focus on those items. Don't worry about space in your home or making a mess....Having food for your family to eat is much more important than if your house is all put together. You can tell by my photo that I am just trying to stack it full , then I will get it all cleaned up. It is organized in my notebook , I promise. There are a few more shelves like this in my kitchen that are full.

You can clean later when you have it all!!

THE SHELVING I USE IS LDAILY Heavy Duty 5 Tier Plastic Storage Rack,Multi-Use Free Standing Shelf Unit, Easy to Assemble, Black (1, 28“L X 15”W X 67“H) in black and white. Check around for them on sale. I got mine on sale , not sure where. I am wanting to say that I ordered them off of Amazon. I usually buy everything from Amazon.
