Saved by Preps - Flat Tire

I heard a strange noise outside the truck and rolled down the window to investigate. I could hear a hissing that rhythmically got quiet as I drove - then I realized, my left rear tire was punctured and deflating FAST! I pulled over to the shoulder as far as I could and got out to investigate. Sure enough, there was what looked like a nail hole right through my nice new tire.

Curing meat
Curing meat is an age old process. It has been used to preserve, intensify flavors, and make unpalatable cuts of meat acceptable for consumption. Most of us don't worry about the preservation aspect so much anymore, but if you've ever made a marinade then you've dabbled in curing (perhaps with out even knowing it). In this post I'm going to go over some of the ingredients needed to cure meat and introduce a couple of salt mixtures that can be very useful in curing your meats. I'll also go over some things that could be kept in your food storage.<br /> <!--more--><br /> First of all there are a couple of items that are needed to cure meat. You don't have to use each of these items when you cure, but they all play an important part in the curing process.

Goal0 Sherpa Kit
Recently, Mike published an article introducing a local company named <a href="http://www.goal0.com" target="_blank">Goal0</a> (<a title="Introducing Goal 0 solar power products" href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/2011/03/introducing-goal-0-solar-power-products/" target="_blank">article link</a>).

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.

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.
