How Much Food Storage? Discover how to calculate the amount of extra food you need to store away to prepare for a long-term food shortage. (Page 7.)
Lights Out: Find out why the next solar flare storm could wipe out our food delivery system in a matter of minutes. It could take us three years to get modern grocery shopping back online. (Page 10.)
$2 Million Dollars for a Loaf of Bread: Read how our pending economic collapse can easily lead to food prices soaring to ridiculous amounts. It has happened many times over the last hundred years in many countries (as I illustrate on pages 12 and 13). We're not immune to financial gravity.
40,000 Years Overdue: Most Americans don't realize that we are literally sitting atop of a natural disaster that would wipe out food production, worldwide, for at least one year. (See pages 13 and 14 for the scientific proof

Forced to Eat Your Neighbor? Not much how-to instructions here. I added this little section – describing historical survival situations where people were forced to resort to cannibalism – as motivation to get off your rear and get prepared.


Sometimes Progress Involves a Few Step Backwards: Why we may need to regress technologically (for a while) in order to rebuild a more secure and sustainable future. (Page 29.)
Priority Number 1 and 2: What I believe are the first two things you should put in place to prepare for a short- or long-term food crisis. (Page 30.)
Don't Be Scared. Be Prepared: Take action now and the fear will go away. Hiding under the proverbial blanket will offer no defence against what is coming. (Read my take on page 30.)

Food Storage Recipe - Ham & Au Gratin Potato Soup

This is another easy and frugal recipe that has ingredients that are always on the shelf.

I love this because it is so easy to make and is great with any kind of sandwich.

Ham & Potato Soup

1 box Au Gratin Potatoes

1 and a half cup of diced cooked Ham - I use those low cost canned hams for all of my soups and beans. They are only about 2.50 for them at the dollar store.

half a cup of diced carrots

1/4 TSP of pepper

3 cups of water

2 cups of milk ( I do not think that powdered milk is too good for this recipe, so when I do not have milk I use my favorite stand-by of 1/2 cup of evaporated milk mixed with 1/2 cup of water. This makes 1 cup of whole milk. Plus cans of evaporated milk should be in your food storage.)

In a large saucepan , combine the potato slices , seasoning packet, Ham , carrot, pepper, water, and milk. Bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the potatoes are tender. Do not drain.

Eat and enjoy.

Alternate Forms Of Heat

It got so cold here last night that it got me to thinking of other forms of heating that can be used. What if the power went out , what would we do for heat?? I do not want my family to freeze and I am sure that you do not either.

My number one choice for heat would have to be a wood burning stove! That is all that my family used when I was growing up. Even when my grandparents bought a new house , they put in a wood burning stove and did not even use the electric heater. I love the heat that is put out by wood burning stove. Some people might be scared of them, but they are not too bad. I was around them from birth until I was about 19 years old and I never got burned, and there were tons of time that I had to get up in the middle of the night to stoke the fire!! We are looking into getting us one now for heat. This is a great way to get off of the grid.


This is something that we have for backup heat and Love. A Kerosene Heater! The last house that we lived in this is all that we used. We HAD to use it or freeze and I have had all types of heat , grew up with wood burning stoves as only heat , and a kerosene heater comes into a close second to wood burning stoves. The only draw back that I can see about a kerosene heater is the fact that you might run out of fuel and it would be hard to keep a ton of it on hand.

This next alternate form of heating would be something that I would just keep on hand for an emergency and NOT for long term usage. Mr Heater . It is safe for indoor use and pretty low cost to buy and operate. It could be use for a short term emergency and keep you from freezing.

This next form of heating is one that all of you handymen or women can do. A Barrel Stove Kit. I seen one of these in Home Depot and thought that it was such a cool idea. Great way to get some heat into your house for a low cost.

Homemade Christmas Gift Idea!!


THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT!!

This is a great way to have a keepsake of your baby ! Make this clay and take an impression of your babies handprint and footprint. How cool is that? It is also pretty easy. I made on of these on my sons first birthday !

Here is the clay recipe:

1 cup baking soda

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 tablespoon salt

3/4 cup water


In a medium sized saucepan ,mix all of the ingredients and heat on high until it comes to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and continue mixing until it becomes thick and creamy and is hard to stir. Remove from heat. Knead with your hands when cool. Flatten out the clay with a rolling pin and place your babies hand or foot firmly into the clay to make an imprint. Use a toothpick or pencil to write their name and dates ,like birthdate and date of imprint. You can even go as far as decorating this with some pretty glass stones or little toys etc etc. Let this harden for a few days! When you roll out the clay you can even use cookie cutters.

Is It Going To Be Enough Prepping?

I have just come to the realization that all of our prepping just might not be enough. It just might not last us as long as we want. I am starting to freak out a little bit and am seriously thinking of some way to get myself a part time job! That way I can take that whole check and buy preperations. Need more storable food, weapons, WATER, medical supplies, alternate energy , heating, cooking, and toiletries. Need to kick into gear and get all of this done quickly.

Food Storage Recipe - rice casserole


A friend of mine gave me this recipe about 22 years ago. I was newly single with a toddler and not much money and she was always giving me recipes that were low cost, healthy , and easy.

This one turned out to be one of my favorite and it is made with things that I always have on hand.

Rice Casserole ( that is always just what I called it)

1 can of chili beans ( DO NOT DRAIN !!)
some frozen broccoli ( I always get those small boxes of frozen chopped broccoli to use in this recipe and it is cheap!)
about a cup of instant rice
Velveeta cheese cut up into cubes ( I use the store brand cheese. I am too much of a tightwad to buy the Velveeta!)

Put all of this into a pyrex baking dish mixed well, cover with foil , and bake until the rice in tender.


That is it.

Easy and frugal!! LOVE IT!!

I did not have any instant rice last night so I had to cook up 1/2 a cup of rice to add to this.
