Stockpile Seasonings!

This could make all of the difference in the world on how well you eat and keep you from getting bored of eating the same things everyday. Having a lot of seasonings on hand can change things up. I have chili, taco, dasher, salt, pepper, and tons more stockpiled. Seasonings can really make things go from boring to great!!
Stockpile the ones that you use the most and keep a few on hand for when you want things to be different. I also have some meat tenderizer, which can be a life saver. One thing that you can do id go through your favorite recipes and some new ones and make sure that you have stockpiled all of the stuff that goes into those recipes. We use a lot of chili powder and taco seasoning so those are ones that I have tried to stockpile a lot of.
Just make sure that you have the right seasonings on hand and you can cook anything better!!!

Do You Have Enough Water??

After food storage that next item that needs to be stored up is water. I also want to have an alternate source of water. There is a creek behind my house and I guess we could use that if we had to. Just would have to clean , filter, boil it first. I have seen people fish out of it.
If you are going to stockpile water, you need to remember ONE GALLON OF WATER A DAY PER PERSON. That adds up quick and takes up some room. Make sure that you have some way to kill the bacteria in the water. Bleach, Iodine, should do the trick. You also need a great water filtration system. There are many filters on the market that are either gravity-fed
or use a mechanical pump. They work well, especially when combined with chemical treatment.
If you are storing the water up you can bring back the "fresh water taste" to your stored drinking water, just pour the drinking water from one container to another, and back again a few times.

MRE Polytrays!

I just got one of these and I must say that I wish that I had some way of getting some more of them. There are 18 servings in this one heavy MRE polytray!! I have the Mashed Potatoes with Chicken Breast in gravy. They are on sale this month at Emergencies Essentials! Great deal on some MREs to put back for the whole family. I am not sure how it would do in a Bug Out bag - it does weigh a bit. But it would do good in your house food storage or in the back of your bug out vehicle.
You warm them up the same way as you can a smaller MRE - just boil some water in a big pot and put this in it for a few minutes.

Dehydrated Mushrooms Today!

This is what I did today!! My grocery store had mushrooms on sale so to try them out I bought one "bucket" of them. They were already sliced so I just wiped them off gently and put them in my dehydrator. Took about 10 hours and they were done. I put each layer of the dehydrator into their own bag, so that I had 3 smaller bags of mushrooms. These will be great to add to soups. I will be buying more mushrooms later this week since I know that it works so good.
