This is the 2nd one like this that I have had. They seem to burn out after 8-10 years. I think when it's time to replace this one I will go w/ a more expensive one?

I am organizing and dating stock right now trying to make it easier to rotate out as needed. Plus if ever needed it will obviously be easier to eat from oldest to newest.

I have a cool old paper notebook with all my dad’s old stuff he wrote down. Formulas for making diff things like degreaser and cleaners , etc., A lot of cool old stuff in there . Must be 50yrs old if its a day !

I bought up some old Foxfire books a few years back that detail how to live with what you have available.

Anyone suggestions on a good vacuum sealer?

We got the Food Saver Commercial.
Which ever one you buy....get the Heavy Duty/commercial/etc., model of it . It will make a diff later.
Get one with a canning attachment. It allows you to suck all the air out of qt mason jars using the same caps and lids that come with them.

Any of that stuff is great to have on hand, cause when SHTF I dont think internet will be running

Stock up on things that do not require refrigiration. Canned meat. Dehydrated potatoes and soup mixes.

P


Get the rain barrel collection systems- Home Depot. Then keep about a cup of bleach in each.

Run your water through a Big Berky filter before using it to drink or cook.

Also, waterbob is a good way to save 100 gallons of water.

We have been using an AlexaPure. The nice thing is their filters integrally filter fluoride and arsenic, rather than requiring additional filters every six months.
