Building a 3 Month Supply using Case Lot Sales
Inevitably, each year in the weeks preceding the <a href="http://www.mormon.org">LDS</a> General Conference sessions in April and October grocery stores in Utah begin their Case Lot sales. In case you aren't familiar with the term, a Case Lot sale is a sale that allows you to purchase food (and other) items at a discount from a regular grocery store. The only catch is that you need to buy them a case at a time.

Introducing Goal 0 solar power products
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/03/Goal0.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3623" title="Goal0" src="/images/uploads/2011/03/Goal0.jpg" alt="" width="215" height="50" /></a><br /> Here at UtahPreppers we try to keep an eye on prepping topics, trends and products from all over the country and often the world. Even though we try to keep a global focus we still like finding and supporting local businesses that fit into the prepping niche. We recently met up with a Bluffdale company to take a look at some of their innovative solar products.

Post Japan Earthquake Notes
I'm posting in an email that was forwarded to me, second hand from the source. The email is from a lady who's family is currently stationed in Japan, and relates their experiences with the earthquake. What I like best in this is her own analysis on her preparedness level, and what she wishes she could do better.

How to Make an Emergency Stove from Common Materials
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/02/IMG_2320.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3399" title="IMG_2320" src="/images/uploads/2011/02/IMG_2320-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>The next installment in our Heat and Light series is Making a simple Emergency Stove from Household Materials. This stove is capable of boiling water in less than 10 minutes and is very easy to use and re-use. The materials required to make it can commonly be found in the home and should be stored in your preps. Required are: Paraffin Wax, cardboard and a couple tin cans.<!--more-->

Making Fire Starting Wafer Candles
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/01/IMG_2315.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3379" title="IMG_2315" src="/images/uploads/2011/01/IMG_2315-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>The next project in my Light and Heat series is making Fire Starting Wafers out of reclaimed materials mostly available at home. These wafer candles don't have the same burn time (but it's plenty long enough to get a fire going) as the egg carton candles but they have a much smaller imprint. This project will again be familiar to most Boy Scouts and long term Preppers and Outdoorsmen. However, the purpose of this series is to get back to basics and review how to generate light and heat with common household projects.<!--nextpage-->As has been mentioned in the comments on the other posts in this series, you can use old candles or other wax sources instead of the new bars of paraffin I use in the demonstration.

Making Fire Starting Candles
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/01/EggTinder.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3368" title="EggTinder" src="/images/uploads/2011/01/EggTinder-194x300.jpg" alt="" width="194" height="300" /></a>Continuing my series on Light and Heat, today I'm going to talk about making Fire Starting Candles. There are a variety of ways to do this, today we're going to cover using cardboard egg cartons and dryer lint or cotton balls. This particular project will likely already be familiar to experienced Preppers and Boy Scouts. This post is aimed at those new to prepping who have never been exposed to this kind of thing.

Making Tallow Candles
<a href="/images/uploads/2011/01/TallowCandle.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3342" title="TallowCandle" src="/images/uploads/2011/01/TallowCandle-300x252.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="252" /></a>One of the things that frustrates me in Preparedness is that many of the texts and resources out there don't adequately cover "Pioneer Skills". That is to say, they present material lists and instructions that include things that are only available via modern-day manufacturing methods. Often times what I'm looking for is how do I make something out of nothing - nothing being the great abundance that nature provides us with! This is very true when it comes to activities like candle, cheese and soap making. I want to know how to do it in a true collapse or long term survival scenario.<!--more-->
