Information on LDS Home Storage Centers
A listener (Katzcradul of YouTube) sent me the following link about the changes going on with the LDS canning centers. I’ve talked about on the podcast how these can be a great resource for people building up their food storage. The article, Concern Over Changes to Home Storage Centers Unnecessary, specifically states, “No home storage centers are being closed, but the Church is making welcomed modifications in its operations at most of these centers that will help to better serve the needs of members of the Church, as well as significantly improve efficiency.” The article continues to state, “In all … Continue reading
Information on Freezing Foods
While writing a tip for the weekly prep tip email, I came across some good information that I wanted to pass along. There are three PDFs put out by the North Dakota and Iowa State University Extensions about freezing foods. Being one to never to pass up databasing great prep information, I also downloaded them to my computer and stuck them into my notes database. Additionally, I uploaded them to this website, and am putting the links to both the PDFs here and in their original locations.

How Long Do You Freeze Food?
To be honest, while I don’t have a definitive answer to that question, I can tell you from experience that it’s at least 7 years! We have two deep freezers and try to keep them stocked with the foods that we eat on a daily basis. We’ve tried freezing nearly everything: meat, milk, cheese, bread, veggies, etc. Not everything we’ve tried freezing was successful, but it’s actually surprising how long food can be preserved by freezing. The trick is to make sure that there is as little air around the food as possible. If the food already has a vacuum … Continue reading

Drinking Coffee as a Survival Skill?
Those of you that know me, know that I can’t stand coffee. I’ve always found it to be a vile and nasty liquid that was to be shunned at all costs.

As odd as it is for me to say it, I’m now a coffee drinker. Here’s my story. Pretty much everyone I know drinks coffee. When I was in the Marines, even in the middle … Continue reading
