The SHTF Stockpile Preppers Guide.


Here's What You Need on Hand to Save Your Life.


When the stuff hits the fan it is not going to be a pleasant experience. But no matter how unpleasant you can always be prepared.

This book is about preparing for a day that hopefully never happens. That day is the total breakdown of society. We hope that day never comes; we hope that our civilization can go on for ever, but history has never had a society that lasted longer than 300 or so years, so we must be prepared for collapse.

If we are hit up with another dark age, we must know how to counteract this lack of preparedness with the knowledge that we can have a guide, we can have a plan, and we can have a compass in uncharted waters. All of these things are available to those that seek them out. This is the plan that we are forging for you to follow in the case of calamity.


Some topics covered:


• Prepping for effects of Climate Change

• Proper First Aid

• Water supply

• Proper Food Storage

• Low Tech Tools

• The Go-bag.

• The Scenarios

• The List.

Ways To Cook With Your Fireplace

Reflector Oven
The open fire of your fireplace is a very versatile way to cook. There are many ways to cook with your fireplace and can be a great way to have a heated home and a hot meal when power is out. That one fire can not only give you heat, but you can bake, boil, roast, simmer a stew, and more. Pretty much like a campfire, but this is in your home.

One way to cook is by using a Cast-Iron Trivet. Remove some of the coals from the fire and place over to one side in your fireplace, place the trivet on top of that, and place your pot on top of that. Let it cook! You can boil water and make soups and stews this way. It is also a easy way to use your Cast-Iron Dutch Oven .


An easy way to roast some meat over the fire is by using a spit. Just impale the meat with the spit and place the meat over the fire to seal in the juices. Then move it further away from the fire and let it slow cook . Make sure that you have a big roasting pan under the meat to catch the dripping juices. Makes it safer and plus you can baste the meat with its juices while it is cooking.

A Reflector Oven is an awesome way to be able to bake and cook with a fireplace. Pretty simple way to cook. Place in front of fire and the heat reflects to the food. Kind of like the solar oven.

Some other tools to have for fireplace cooking are a hanging griddle, Pie Iron Sandwich Cooker, and a Heavy Duty Grill.

With all or any of these tools for cooking, you will be able to make great family meals for your family. No worries if a winter storm comes through and wipes out your power.

Food Storage Recipe - Crockpot Potato Soup

Making use of a slow cooker is the best kitchen item to have for cooking. You simply put all the ingredients in, season and top it off with the lid. It's as easy as cake.. Several hours later you can spoon out your recipe in a bowl and then what's left over is frozen for later eating pleasure.

Crockpot potato soup.

NEED:

7  potatoes

3 small baby onions

4 stalk celery

1 lb package turkey sausage

2 cups chicken stock

2 cups milk

2 cups regular heavy cream

1 Tbsp Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning

Salt and white pepper to taste

Peel the potatoes, wash and put in a bowl of water. Cut up the onions and celery. For this recipe, I used 3 small baby onions, but 1 large one will be okay. I used turkey polish sausage for this recipe since I wanted to go a lighter version of the soup. Cut the sausage and potatoes into 1 inch pieces and add to Crockpot. Add in the cut vegetables. I had some reserved chicken stock and poured it over the meat and vegetables in the Crockpot. Add in 2 cups milk and 2 cups regular heavy cream. Season with garlic and herb seasoning, salt and white pepper; cover and slow cook on low for about 6 hours or until the vegetables are fork tender. Serve hot with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side.

Prepare For Winter Power Outage

There is an easy way to prepare for being able to keep warm in the winter during a power outage ~ Just have the thought in your head of how you would prepare for your family IF you had to sleep outside during the winter. You are not going to be sleeping outside, but if the power is out during a winter storm and it gets below zero, than it is going to feel like you are outside.


Stock up on winter grade sleeping bags, down comforters, and heavy wool blankets. Also keep a few extra blankets in your car. You can all huddle under blankets in a worst case scenario. But, if you do not want to just sit all huddled up , you can close off one room and heat it up. You are lucky if you have a fire-place or wood burning stove. But, if you do not have one than you need to get some other form of heat for an emergency. Invest in a kerosene heater, a propane heater, or pellet stove. Stock up on the fuel for them too.

You can easily prepare for a worst case scenario winter storm. Just use common sense. Winterize your home, stock up on food, winter clothing, and heat supplies.
