Canning is a process where we seal food or drinks in jars, then heat them to destroy microorganisms that cause spoilage. It's the same concept that the food industry undertakes to put food, such as soups or vegetables, in cans and sell it to the consumer. With home canning, you are in charge of all the ingredients as well as the taste and quality of your food.

This book will cover:

• Canning Safety
• Methods and types of canning
• Canning Equipment
• Types of food to can
• How to Prep your food for canning
• The canning process
• and much, much, more

When we say canning we actually mean jarring, but the conventional method of canning gets its name from a food preservation method introduced by the French in the 1800s. We see this applied today, all over the world, to canned soups, peaches, beans, and so on today. The home method of canning differs in some ways, but the main principle is still the same.

7 Ways To Protect Yourself From Cell Phone EMF's

A cell phone's impulses can disable the brain's barrier that isolates the brain from poisons in the blood after only 2 minutes use.Cell phones are convenient, but you have to learn to use them in a way that doesn't harm your health. Or don't use one at all, like me. I haven't had a cell phone for over a year now and feel much better for it. Cell Phone Radiation Shown In Images!!
Here are 7  ways to protect yourself and your family from the hidden dangers of cell phone electromagnetic radiation.

1. Limit your cell phone use to 2 minutes or less. Turn your cell phone off when not in use and when you are sleeping. Never keep your cordless phone near your head since it can produce higher doses of radiation because of the proximity and prolonged exposure while sleeping.
2. Do not expose children under 16 years to cell phone or cordless phone use, especially younger children whose brains are 75% more susceptible to radiation damage than adults. Replace cordless phones with corded lines wherever possible. The cordless phone base emits high levels of EMR 24 hours a day, whether it's being used or not. IF YOUR CHILD MUST HAVE A CELL PHONE - ONLY LET THEM TEXT ON IT. TEXTING IS MUCH SAFER THAN HOLDING THE CELL PHONE RADIATION UP TO THEIR HEAD!! NO TEXTING WHILE DRIVING THOUGH.
3. Use the phone's speaker and hold the phone away from your head when in use. Corded headsets gather radiation fields from around the phone and turn the user's head into an antenna for the base-station. Bluetooth headsets create a greater risk from concentrated microwave frequencies by pointing them directly into the ear. Use an air tube headset instead of a corded headset.
4. Always keep your cell phone batteries charged to 100% bar strength since a low signal strength will boost the power output of the phone to the tower transmitters and emit stronger radiation.
5. Do not carry a cell phone on or near the hip for an extended length of time. The hip produces 80% of the body's red blood cells and is especially vulnerable to damage from the EMR emitted from cell phones. Close proximity to the pelvis can also affect fertility.
6. Keep cell phones turned off while in the car. Metal amplifies electromagnetic radiation and turns the car into a radiation cage that affects all passengers whether they're using the cell phone or not.
7. Severely limit cordless phone and cell phone use if you are pregnant or when you are near pregnant women. Minimize other EMR exposures to the developing fetus that use ultrasound and electronic fetal monitoring unless absolutely necessary.

There are many preventive technologies that can be applied to electrical and electronic devices to decrease your exposure to electromagnetic radiation. These are just a few of the ways to provide cell phone and EMF protection for you and your family while still enjoying the benefits of modern living. Just use common sense. You can easily still use a c ell phone and keep your family healthy. Place limits on use and don't allow your children on them AT ALL!!

BBBRRRRRR

It is very cold here. But, we have not gotten any snow yet. I kind of was hoping that we would get snowed in. After being gone for 3 weeks the hubby is home. I wanted us to be snowed in for a few days!! Oh well. It is raining and might turn to snow tomorrow. I do think that the weathermen really go overboard. It seems like the last year or two they just want us to panic with every storm, rain, or snow. It is really getting on my last nerve and I hardly watch the weather anymore.

Cheating on a Chicken Coop: 8 Cheap Ideas to House Your Backyard Hens and Save Money

Cheating on a Chicken Coop: 8 Cheap Ideas to House Your Backyard Hens and Save Money was a free kindle book when this post was written.

Brand New: Save Money on a Chicken Coop!

[Note: This is a short "idea" book, not a set of building plans. Wherever possible, I have included links to simple building instructions for these ideas online, but you'll need to be somewhat creative with the materials available to you. If you're ready to save some money on a coop and start thinking outside the box ('outside the coop'), then please read on!]

You're thinking of getting some chickens to lay eggs in your backyard. And then you look at the price of chicken coops. Holy manure! $900 for a fancy box? What are they thinking? You decide that maybe you can make your own chicken coop on the cheap. So you download some free building plans.

Browsing through the coop plans, your eyes fix on the simplest hen house design. Okay, you're thinking, that might be doable...in about five weekends. Then you read on and realize you don't own a table saw... and you've never even heard of an auger bit. So you put your coop-building project on the back burner for awhile. This is a real shame, because you'd love to have chickens.

It shouldn't have to be this way. Somewhere between the overpriced, readymade coops and the major DIY construction projects is a middle ground. I wrote this short book to introduce you to some functional alternatives: coops and non-coops made of affordable materials that are fairly simple to create (even for a non-builder like me).

Contents Include:

1. Cheaper Alternatives
Skipping the High Cost Chicken Coops

2. The 8 Things Every Chicken Coop Needs
Add Them To Any Structure and You Have a Coop

3. A-Frame Chicken Ark
A Functional and Affordable "Normal" Coop

4. Garden Hoophouse
Really Simple and Dirt Cheap

5. Chicken Box
Minimalist Design for Non-Builders

6. Go Native
Use Local Materials

7. Repurposing Big Ticket Items
Curbside Treasures and Old Vehicles

8. Making a Small Bantam House From a Wine Barrel, or Pickle Barrel
How About a Garbage Can?

9. Converting a Doghouse, Shed, Storage Area, or Extra Room
Building a Roosting Room in Your Garage

10. The De-Constructed Coop
Letting Them Figure It Out

The coops in this book will never look like a $1500 gingerbread house, but they are as clean and functional as any other design. Making use of available structures and affordable materials, they keep costs and prep times to a minimum. Most importantly, your back yard chickens will have everything they need and will be thrilled with what you give them. As you know, happy chickens lay lots of eggs!

This is an idea book, not a set of building plans. However, for many of these coop designs, you will find links in this book to step-by-step online instructions, building plans, "how to" videos, and photographic slideshows depicting coop constructions and conversions. The others have pictures, descriptions, and hopefully will inspire you to go out and customize your own simple version of what you see. If you know how to cut wood with a handsaw and screw in a screw, I think you'll be just fine. These designs are about as stripped-down as any designs can get.

Just Say 'No' to Overpriced Coops

There are better alternatives, and I think you'll find a few of them in this book. If you can't afford an expensive chicken coop and aren't handy enough (or don't have time) to build a typical hen house from scratch, then welcome to the club. I hope this short book will give you some fun ideas that are practical enough to use. Most importantly, this book should help you think 'outside the coop' so you're not boxed in by expectations. As long as you include The Eight Things Every Chicken Coop Needs (covered in the book, along with 8 different coops), then you can call any contraption a coop and your chickens will be very happy to live there.

Hop on for the ride. It costs less than $4 and it might well save you $400.

Emergency Preparedness Tips For Winter Storms

When you want to make sure that you are ready for harsh winter conditions, you'll find that there are a few things that you need keep in mind. Being unprepared for winter weather can result in everything from severe injuries to sickness, even to death, and if you want to make sure that you and your family are going to be okay, remember that you should prepare as thoroughly as possible.

Your Home

Your home is going to be the first thing that you need to look at. You and your family might be trapped there for days or even weeks if the storms are very bad, so make sure that you have all of the essentials that you need. How well are you currently prepared and what can you do to really be safe? The things that you need are very simple, but unless you take them into account, you may suffer in the time that it takes for rescue to come.

First, do you have a heat source? Even if your furnace is running fine, remember that you should setup a backup heating source on top of it. Space heaters are one way to deal with it, as is keeping enough wood around for your fireplace. Also make sure that you have a good method to create the fire if necessary.
Also make sure that all your pipes are insulated. In the case of a sudden temperature drop, you may find that the water in the pipe expands. This can cause the pipe to burst, but it can also stop up your water supply.
Know what you are going to do if a fire breaks out. Are your smoke alarms and fire extinguishers in working order? Does everyone know how to use them? You'll find that good fire safety precautions are essential when you want to make sure that your family stays safe.

Is there enough food, water and medicine in your winter storm emergency backpack? What first aid supplies do you have at your disposal? You may need to get by for a few days without being able to get to the store.
Make sure that you keep at least one cell phone with two charged batteries on hand in case your telephone service shuts down. This can help you call for emergency assistance should the need arise.

The Essentials

When you have the above taken care of, you'll find that you are in pretty good shape for winter storm preparedness. Also make sure that you consider the following. They are also quite important and can be found in a number of different ways.

When you have important objects like flashlights, radios and weather radios, also make sure that you have the new batteries that go along with it. Test both items and batteries regularly to make sure that they still work.

Blankets are another thing that you need to think about. Winter storms are cold, and making sure that everyone has at least two to three blankets is important. This can keep everyone comfortable if the heat is interrupted.

What do you have that will help you remove snow, ice and sleet? Windshield scrapers, hoes, brooms and even shovels should be kept where you can reach them.Make sure that you keep things like rock salt, road salt and sand on hand to break through frozen surfaces. It is important to keep these items handy as well.
If you are worried about getting help, look into emergency flares and other types of lighting.

Conclusion

Remember that survival is your primary goal in the event of a winter storm situation. Make sure that your home is ready for everything the weather can throw at it, and that you and your family can survive for as long as it takes. The steps above can help improve your chances for survival by a wide margin.

Potassium Iodide - Better Safe Than Sorry

When I seen an article a couple of days ago saying that the us government was stocking up on Potassium Iodide , I knew it was time to find out about getting some for my family. There are a few reactors close to where we live and just want to be safe.My hubby had been talking to some people that he knows and they all suggested to get Thyrosafe Potassium Iodide Tablets.So, I put an order in for some. At least keep some handy. I also want to get some liquid type for kids. I am thinking that I seen somewhere where you can get some liquid potassium iodide. I will have to hunt around for the best brand , etc. I really think that the accident in Japan at Fukishima really has released more radiation into our atmosphere than the government is letting on. Just my opinion. But better safe than sorry.

Wonder what will be the top post for this year!!??

Basic Food Storage: How Much?

In order to calculate the amount of food you have to store you need to calculate the number of calories each member of your family needs to consume to sustain their weight and activity levels.

Here are the formulas you need:

· Adult women:
655 + (4.3 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)

· Adult men:
66 + (6.3 x weight in pounds) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)

· Girl:
655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years).

· Boy:
66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in year)

Once you have the figures from above use the multipliers below to find the activity level of each family member.

Sedentary (little to no exercise): multiply by 1.2

Light (exercise up to 3 times a week): multiply by 1.3 (1.375 for children)

Moderate (exercise 3 or more times a week): multiply by 1.4 (1.55 for children)

Heavy (exercise 5 or more times a week): multiply by 1.5 (1.725 for children)

With this calculation and by storing a wide variety of healthy food you will have a great food storage plan. 

You should store a wide variety of foods, but have the basics also...

• wheat
• legumes
• Grains (corn, millet, oats, buckwheat, etc.)
• dried and canned fruits and vegetables
• dried milk
• canned or dried meats
• honey
• salt
• oils (coconut and Olive)
• baking powder
• Multiple vitamin and mineral supplements and extra vitamin C

But you have to remember that no family's needs are the same so it is important to make your food lists and amounts according to your family's.

Happy New Year

Wow! Another year. Have I really been writing this blog since 2008? That is what happens when you really love what you are doing. Time flies by! I really want to step it up this year. I have a ton of ideas.

Let's all have a great, safe, and prepared year!

Everyone Should Have Good Tools

Just wanted to share a list of tools that we all should have in our households. Having the right tools will ensure that we are always prepared for anything that happens around the house. You never know when something might happen. You could fix a lot of things yourself in your home if you have tools to do it. You do not have to call someone in and spend too much money on something that you could have done yourself.

The first type of item to keep in your toolbox are some great measuring tools.

Plan Your Food Storage

This would be a great thing to start at the beginning of the new year - plan a food storage program for your family! A good idea for someone new at this food storage thing. It will keep you from getting overwhelmed. Having a food storage program doesn't have to be hard or even expensive. Plan! When you carefully plan it out, you will always have what you need.

Purchase your food storage in a orderly way.

Buy things that your family actually eats and uses.

Rotate the food storage to keep it in date. 

Never panic buy!

Plan the food storage into your budget. Even if you have a small budget, you can build up a great food stockpile!

Keep a food inventory list in plain sight, like hanging on the shelf. Mark the items as they are used. This makes it easy to replace. I also find that over a period of time that I see how much my family uses of each item. Then I can buy more of that item whenever I see it on sale!

Starting a food storage program isn't hard.  You can do it and be better for it.

Winter Survival Kit For Your Car

All of us have drove places during winter. This time of year we are all traveling to family and more. In our car a lot. Get yourself prepared for if you ever have to survive in your car during an emergency. You never know what could happen. You could get stuck in a snow storm or worse. Be prepared for anything when you know you are driving anywhere in the winter time away from home. For any length of time. It could safe your families life.

Winter Survival Kit For Car

Have a small shovel
windshield scraper
flashlight with extra batteries
battery powered or hand crank powered radio
water
snack food including energy bars
raisins and mini candy bars
matches and small candles
extra hats, socks, shoes, and mittens
First aid kit with pocket knife

 small items of food that could be eaten cold.

 If you must leave the vehicle, write down your name, address, phone number and destination. Place the piece of paper inside the front windshield for someone to see.  

Before you even leave you house , make sure you are prepared for your winter road trip. Make sure you have the items in the list above and have a full tank of gas. Tell the people that you are traveling to what way that you are traveling to get to their house. If you are sitting in your car do not let it run for more than 10 minutes at a time. You risk the chance of the exhaust pipe being clogged with snow or ice. You could easily get carbon monoxide poisoning. 

Just be prepared for any type of winter driving. That way you will get to your destination safe and sound.

If you’ve never camped with your kids there are a lot of tips and fun food making camping more manageable with them. You’ll find food they can cook themselves on a stick because kids love to participate in their food. You’ll also find things to do with them to introduce them to the experience of camping before they leave the safety of home.

Kate Rosetti has lots of experience with different types of camping from tent camping to backpacking and even canoe camping. She also has 5 years’ experience working in a Scout camp and other summer camps. This book is written with the tent camper in mind. Tent camping differs from backpacking because you don’t have the weight limitations you have when backpacking.

You won’t find lots of recipes that use canned soup and other highly processed ingredients. You will find one or two that use canned gravy but the use of fresh ingredients is the primary focus.
