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.

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.

Growing and Harvesting Dry Beans

One of my garden experiments this year was growing dry beans.  Most of the "survival seed" packs have a variety of beans in them.  I had five different kinds of dry bean seeds in addition to my usual favorite green bean varieties, so had plenty of beans growing in the garden this year.  The dry bean varieties I planted were Calypso, Jacob's Gold Cattle Bean, Jacob's Cattle Bean, Black Valentine, and Mayflower.  I also planted Blue Lake Bush Beans and Royalty Purple Pod Beans just for eating.<!--more-->

DIY: Horizontal Storage of 55 gal. Water Barrels

<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2311" src="/images/uploads/2009/07/water_barrels_final.jpg" alt="water_barrels_final" width="200" height="310" />I stumbled across this DIY project recently for storing 55 gal. water barrels horizontally. The biggest drawback of standard upright water barrels is getting the water out when needed. This generally involves either a siphon or a hand pump. Storing the barrels horizontally and adding a spigot to one of the caps makes using the barrels much more convenient. You'll also be more likely to exchange the water every six months since it will be easier to do.
