Review: The Forgotten Skills of Self-Sufficiency Used by the Mormon Pioneers

With a name like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1599555107/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=prepper-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=1599555107">The Forgotten Skills of Self-Sufficiency Used by the Mormon Pioneers</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1599555107&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />, can you blame me?  This was obviously a book stocked for a local audience, so I hope our non-Utah readers can find a copy.  Author <a title="Caleb Warnock's blog" href="http://calebwarnock.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Caleb Warnock</a> is a local (Alpine, Utah) writer, year-round gardener, and teacher of "Forgotten Skills" classes.  It also helped when I noticed one of the people listed in the special thanks section is a friend of mine, and <a title="Eric James Stone" href="http://www.ericjamesstone.com/" target="_blank">local sci-fi author</a> (how's that for a tight-knit Utah Valley).

Making Canned Milk Products from Powdered Milk

<a href="/images/uploads/2010/01/sweetcondmilk.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2938" title="sweetcondmilk" src="/images/uploads/2010/01/sweetcondmilk.jpg" alt="sweetened condensed milk" width="260" height="260" /></a>When I started storing food, I thought it would be a good idea to store forms of canned milk like evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk.  I bought quite a few cans and have used most of them over the years.  However, I only have two recipes I regularly make that call for evaporated milk, and one that calls for sweetened condensed milk, so I did not use every can I purchased before they expired.  <!--more-->

Making Better Char Cloth
TEOTWAWKI Survival

Making Better Char Cloth

When starting a flint and steel or striker type of fire, char cloth makes all the difference in being able to actually get the fire started or just making a bunch of sparks that never catch anything on fire.  Char cloth (sometimes also called charred cloth) is one of those amazing mountain man items that is still very useful today.  Char cloth is pieces of blackened fabric that easily catch a spark and burn similarly to the way steel wool burns--no big flame, but a nice ember burn that doesn't blow out once it's lit.  The spark lights the char cloth and the char cloth is used to light the other tinder.  I've been wanting to add char cloth to my fire kits and having used all my char cloth made by others, I decided to make a batch of my own.

Taking Stock
TEOTWAWKI Survival

Taking Stock

One of my secret, very un-prepper-like joys is getting the call from my wife on the way home, stating that I need to pick something up.  Who knows the reason, but usually that means I'm going to stop by Costco to pick up one of their roasted chickens.  Then again, we tend to pick up one of these pretty often.  Getting a whole chicken works out well, giving us several meals already largely prepared.

SOS Sportster Solar Oven
Personal Preparedness

SOS Sportster Solar Oven

I ordered a Solar Oven Society Sportster Oven with optional reflectors on a Monday and it arrived on my door step a precisely one week later. My neighbor has a Global Sun Oven, but hasn't used it. Not having any experience with this subject, and not knowing anyone who had used one, I performed some research online.

Making it Yourself: Cheese
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.

An Easy Breakfast

An Easy Breakfast

I thought I'd share a nice and easy way to utilize your whole wheat berries for an on-the-run breakfast.  Of course, I'm talking whole wheat cereal.  Now I remember as a kid hating this stuff, my mom would make it for us kids, and we'd all turn our noses at it, pleading for something sugary.  But we did have to eat it anways, it was what we could afford.
