Saving Money By Storing Food Article

Looking back on my list of things that I've "meant to blog" for a long time, I found a link I needed to share.  A friend of mine, and longtime follower of this blog, Erin McNew wrote an article for Yahoo's associated content site about food storage.  I will of course take this chance to tease her for cheating on me, and posting to a different site, especially one that won't allow for me to repost the content.  However I may tease though, It's a great article written to explain to people how storing food is a sensible way to save money.  Something that most "preppers" understand, especially people usually interested in this blog.  However oftentimes people who wouldn't normally figure themselves to be preppers, can still at least get back to some of the basics of previous generations.

Homemade ice-claws

When I moved to college in Idaho as a teenager, I had a really quick introduction into a new world of snow and ice. While the snow I grew up with was wet and heavy, and usually melted away pretty quick in the moderate temperature. Idaho however introduced me to the bitter hard-freeze that left our campus with an amazing array of forms of ice that were completely new to me. I, as with many of my fellow students, became intimately familiar with this ice while performing the splits, or landing on my back when trying to hurry between classes.

Utah Preppers Quoted in Mormon Times Article

A nice piece over at the <a title="Food storage includes more than just food" href="http://www.mormontimes.com/article/17917/Food-storage-includes-more-than-just-food" target="_blank">Mormon Times</a> titled "<a href="http://www.mormontimes.com/article/17917/Food-storage-includes-more-than-just-food?" target="_blank">Food storage includes more than just food</a>" includes a quote by me.  While the news source is targeting members of the LDS faith, the article itself is applicable to anybody.  Many people get caught up in simply having a certain number of calories, and not thinking about the other aspects of preparedness.

Turtle Tuff Shelter Demonstration
Barter Equipment

Turtle Tuff Shelter Demonstration

As a web developer who freelances in addition to my full time employment, I sometimes take advantage of bartering opportunities. Last year one such opportunity presented itself—I was on the lookout for a military surplus tent of some sort, and came across a company called <a href="http://www.turtletuffshelters.com">Turtle Tuff Shelters</a> who made yurt-like geodesic shelters. Their website at the time was very.. ahem.. lacking, so I suggested a barter. They agreed, and a few months later I became the owner of a 24' Turtle Tuff Shelter.

Shelf Reliance Developer Job

Our friends over at Shelf Reliance have been expanding, and they need another person to help work on their websites.  Of course, a company like theirs would be interested in the type of person that follows a prepper blog like this, so they asked me to pass this along.  If the skills fit, please contact them.

Instructables Paracord Contest

One of our favorite DIY sites, <a href="http://www.instructables.com">Instructables.com</a> is hosting a Paracord Contest. The grand prize is a Leatherman with a custom laser etched message of your choice. Paracord is one of the best gotta-have-some-with-you preparedness items. The inner strands can be used for fishing line while the outer shell on its own provides a strong shell for wrapping or weaving other objects. Really, the possibilities are endless.
