Must Have Clean Water

 

I believe in having several different ways of getting clean water to drink. In a SHTF situation you might not be able to get clean water at will, so have a few ways to get some. I have filters, ways to make filters, ways to boil, and now I also have some Water purification tablets

Yard Sales Are Awesome For Preppers!!

This has turned out to be the best thing that I ever found at a yard sale. I got a huge lot of camping gear at a yard sale a couple of weeks ago - sleeping bags, tent, cookware, blow up mattresses, some Mountain House pouches of food , and this little stove - all for 30.00!!

My son left for a 10 day camping trip at Yellowstone and took all of it. This MSR Microrocket Stove was his favorite thing. He said it was easy to use and they had hot meals every day!!

Storing My Beans

I buy my beans in 20 pound bags and had been wondering how to store them. I went to Dollar Tree and got some of these big canisters to put them in. 3 of them is just enough to put the whole 20 pound bag. They are plastic, but I think since we go thru the beans so fast it shouldn't be too bad.

Backup Food Storage

I have been getting some cases of MREs for a backup for my food storage. Yeah, I said backup to food storage. I have normal food stockpile, but what happens if the power is out for longer than you thought it would be and you can't get out to get more food. MRE's are a easy way to have food that is quick to prepare and easy to carry. Keep a case in your car. Just keeping a couple of cases put back, you never know when you might need it.

Have To Keep Adding To The Food Storage!

To keep a food storage going you have to add to it more than you use it. I buy something each week , sometimes just a can , like , Mountain House #10 Can Beef Stroganoff with Noodles (10 -1 cup servings) . Or a few cans of peanut butter. It really doesn't matter what it is that you buy - as long as your adding to the food storage!! When you need it - it will be there!!

I have been adding to mine weekly. Some weeks I add more than others. Depends on other bills and such. You don't want to go homeless or not pay your bills to have a food storage. That would be no good.
