Home Canning - In #10 Cans

I came across this great post today on the <a href="http://safelygatheredin.blogspot.com/">Safely Gathered In</a> blog about <a href="http://safelygatheredin.blogspot.com/2008/12/how-to-can-your-own-food-in-10-cans.html">canning your own food at home in #10 cans</a>. The blog itself is well written and provides a lot of really great info about Food Storage and Emergency Preparedness. They have <a href="http://safelygatheredin.blogspot.com/search/label/Three-month%20supply">weekly posts on Tuesdays</a> that guide you in purchases to build up your 72 hour kits and food storage. If you have a hard time deciding what you need to purchase, or you feel overwhelmed by <a href="http://safelygatheredin.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-toplan-your-three-month-supply.html">everything you need to buy to be prepared</a>, these kind of guides are invaluable!

Food Storage How To

Making it Yourself: Cheese

One of my favorite comfort foods to have around is cheese. While I do not consider myself any kind of cheese-snob by any means, I do have several varieties that I like to have on hand, and really care about the flavor and texture of those cheeses. These cheeses make up a very important part of my regular diet, and having to go without them would not only cause me and mine to feel the lack of something, but our bodies would probably quickly notice it, and our digestion would likely suffer.

Family BOB Example: The Lances

A local friend of mine recently posted his notes about creating a set of emergency bags (<a title="Definition of BOB - Bug Out Bag" href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/glossary/#BOB">BOB</a> - <a title="Definition of 72 hour kit" href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/glossary/#72-hour">72 Hour Kit</a>) for his family. It's great to see a friend getting his family so ready, and even better when they can share such excellent information. In his example, I think he does a great job of presenting how he will get his young sons to carry a small part of their own gear, without overtaxing them. I know all younger families like myself worry about how to 'carry enough' for the younger children, and this example shows great thought in dealing with that concern. Check out <a title="72 hour kit" href="http://www.thelances.net/james/2008/11/emergency_preparedness_-_72-ho.html">the Lances BOB setup</a>. Several pictures showing all the included gear, in and out of the bags.

Review: Costco Emergency Supply Kit Deal

In the recent Costco mailer, some friends and I all noticed that a "72-hour" kit that Costco carries had a limited time online discount available. The $60 kit was/is available for a limited time for $40 with shipping (<a href="http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11314388&search=344593&Mo=0&cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&lang=en-US&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Sp=S&N=5000043&whse=BC&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntk=Text_Search&Dr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ne=4000000&D=344593&Ntt=344593&No=0&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Nty=1&topnav=&s=1">Costco 72 hour kit sale</a>), so I decided to check it out. One more 72 hour kit could be good for my family, and if it was nice, would make a great gift to give to some family members and friends.
