Where To Put Your Food Storage

When people decide to begin a food storage program in order to be prepared for emergencies, they may find that actually finding a place to store the food can be problematic. Some people are fortunate to have extra storage space in basement storage areas or spare rooms. It may take some rearranging and planning to facilitate a food storage program.

Some of the places where people store food are:

• Basement storage rooms (which are ideal if available)
• Garage cabinets (which are good but not too great in extremely hot weather)
• Shelves built for the purpose in any spare area of the house
• Cabinets in a spare or little used room
• Pantries (which are used for regular usage items and may not be large enough)
• Closets (which are workable when extra closets are available)
• Plastic storage bins under the beds
• Round barrels covered with a cloth and used as an end table
• Any unused space which is available

If extra space such as basement storage or a spare room are not available in the living quarters, it may require some inventiveness to find a place to keep the stored food intended for emergency use. People living in small apartments are able to find places for food storage if the incentive is there. Some of the more unusual places mentioned above can be fit into regular living areas if necessary.

It is also wise to rotate the food storage which means having it accessible enough to get to once in a while. Some experts in the business suggest using the products once a week so that the family will become used to eating the food. Since much of the food may be dehydrated or freeze-dried with processes which enable longer periods of storage than normal readily consumable food, the taste may be different. If the family is used to eating the food, they should have no problems using it if a serious need arises. The foods prepared are generally tasty and nutritious, but sometimes children need to get accustomed to eating them to enjoy them.

When people want to start a food storage program in order to feel more secure and ready for emergencies, finding space is likely the least of their problems. Finding a program to start with food storage is easy these days with companies offering special plans for any budget. Getting involved before an emergency strikes is sound advice. A monthly plan which includes adding some items on a regular basis makes it easy. There are even companies with a home business component for people who want to get going with food storage and earn some money along the way.

DIY Solar Power Panels

Complete renewable energy home solar power system consists of diy solar power panels and homemade wind power generator.

Alternative energy resources used to create free solar electricity to reduce power costs.

A lot of people today are saving heaps of money on their power bill by creating their own free solar energy panel electricity. There are volumes of information available online to help you create your own home solar power system.

Google search for homemade wind power generator, make small solar panel or an alternative power source that describes creating your own electricity, you will find dozens of websites that offer you a downloadable instruction package.

Make sure they offer a full 60 day money back guarantee. Fifty dollars would be top price to get a good instruction package, with online video tutorials as well as PDF instructions.

Connecting your home solar power system to the power grid allows you to qualify for net metering in many states. Net metering measures the excess power you generate with your combination of solar energy panels and homemade wind power generator and direct it back into your local power grid.

Solar Energy.

Solar energy is one source of free power that is renewable and accessible to all home owners. Solar energy can be attainable by all home owners, even if you can't afford to install commercial solar energy panels to power your entire house, you can begin using small solar panels and reduce your power consumption if only by the smallest of margins. All reduced power equals reduced electricity which means you save Money.

The money saved on your power bills can be put into making additional solar energy panels and further reducing the power and saving more money until you reach a stage were you are generating excess power than you use and start feeding the power back into the grid and this excess power is then credited to you and the power company starts paying you money.

Fossil fuels are not going to be able to sustain our energy consumption as the world heads into the future at the rate we are using this energy source. That alone is a good reason to build a home solar power system. Even a smallest power solar generator used to power your workshop or outside security lights is a start to saving our planet and the environment.

By generating your own solar energy we are producing less toxic fumes and using fewer chemicals that are the by-products of the energy sources we use today. Solar energy generators and small solar panels need very little maintenance to keep them working in peak condition for many years.

A diy solar power panels or grid inter-tied home solar power system does not have to be expensive exercise as you can start to build your home solar energy system for under $180. Complete inter-tied home solar energy system is going to cost you more and it depends on the number of solar panels you install.

With so many packages available on the Internet to find instructions on how to make a small solar energy generator you can be confident of receiving the right information but you have to be very careful as to the one you choose as there is a lot of energy packages that are complete rubbish. You do not need to be an electrician and use expensive machinery or tools to build your home solar system, most likely the material is easily accessible from your local junk yard and hardware store.

Most packages available are easy to read, easy to follow, fully illustrated instructions to build and install your home power solar system and most internet packages explains the secrets to finding the inexpensive solar cells.

Wind Power.

Building a homemade wind power generator for home use is quickly becoming an attractive option for many environmentally conscious home owners to use as an alternative energy source helping to reduce both environmental damage and fossil fuel use.

Homemade wind power generator is becoming common place as home owners install them on large and small home solar power installation. A wind power generator converts the wind into a home electricity source. Which is free, unlimited, renewable, and naturally green!

Wind power generator works by transforming physical motion, natural wind flows to turn the blades causing rotation into electricity using strong permanent magnets. The free home electricity produced can then be wired to devices for immediate usage, stored in batteries, or wired back into the power grid.

Two things that are very important to know before you get too far into a diy homemade wind power generator system for your home are

1 You have to live in a windy area for a home wind power generator to function properly to supplement the homes energy needs. Home wind power generators needs lots of wind for it to operate correctly, otherwise you need to keep with solar energy.

2 Home wind power generator may only be an addition for the home solar power system.

You are probably trying to decide if you can learn how to build a diy wind power generator yourself - so you want to know...

- How much will a diy wind power generator cost to build? - Can I get reliable, easy to follow wind generator plans? - How long will it take to build a diy home made wind generator? - Home made wind generator comparable to commercial models? # Parts to build a homemade wind power generator easy to find?

Yes! - You can build a diy wind power generator for under $180 in about 2 weekends by following the guides in the packages. Renewable energy [wind power] works on the same basis as hydroelectric power, only it is wind driven not water driven.

Summary.

Two relatively easy to install DIY projects to help with the energy crisis. Whether you go for the suns solar power or use wind power, you will be saving our natural resources and saving the planet and the environment.

Many illustrated guides are available online to teach you step by step how to make a small solar panels and diy home wind power generators.

How to make a complete home solar energy system with as many solar power panels as you want to install depending on your financial position to go partially or go totally off the power grid.

If you're into do it yourself, these guides will ensure the success to making your home less dependent on fossil fuels and more dependent on renewable energy while reducing your power bill.

If you assume that the average home pays over $200 per month that is a yearly cost of around $2400 for your electricity. Installing a home solar power system you start to reduce your power usage and that saves you money.

Use natural gas to heat or cook with. This could amount to several hundred dollars a year in power savings. Outside cooking is a way of life in some countries and you could adapt to the same reducing the power demand on your home solar energy system. This means less solar panels lowering the cost to make and install your solar system.

Using a do-it-yourself approach to home solar energy systems you can do your part to help the Earth's environment and remove part of your carbon footprint.

What the home owner needs to do now is use free clean renewable energy!

Where Is The Safest Place To Live??

This is a book that we all need. A great resource for finding the perfect and safest place to move our families too. Over 400 pages full of usefull info.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION :
This is the long-awaited update of Mr. Skousen's classic book on relocation for security. Nearly 3/4 of this 3rd Edition is rewritten and it is expanded to 400 pages. In the process, the authors created all new graphics, charts and tables. There is also a new section on international retreat potential and 200 additional pages of analysis on every state and province of the US and Candada, complete with color maps.
The maps are chock full of detail, including private and public land use, satellite terrain features, military target areas, roads and graphic depictions of population density---one of our major threats to security in a crisis.

Despite the ongoing illusions of peace and prosperity, our world is getting less stable, not more. The economic foundations of the US and the world are all based on fiat money and are crumbling. Earthquakes, Hurricanes, War and terrorism are ever present threats, and the secondary effects of social unrest in large metropolitan areas will be disruptive and dangerous if there is a shortage of essential commodities that cause people to panic.

When you relocate or retire your prime concern should be long-term security, not recreation. Sometimes you can have both. This book is designed to help you relocate around serious threats and to develop contingency plans when you can't relocate due to work or family ties.

Strategic Relocation is more than just pointing out safe areas--simply because the safer the area, the harder it is, generally, to make a living and have access to the conveniences of life. For these reasons, relocation decisions are fairly complex, and Mr. Skousen walks you through all of the difficult choices and compromises that are inevitable in finding safety, without being totally isolated. This book has answers for nearly every situation.
