One of the reasons for this is that I eventually want to dehydrate a LOT of my own vegetables, etc. but have the need to start somewhere, and I also want to buy grains that are already crushed, cut and/or rolled so that I can experiment with them in the kitchen making things like granola, trail mix, cereal, my own multi-grain bread, etc. I think these will be invaluable experiments for me and is an area that is important. If there’s no bread at the grocery store, having a way to improvise is going to be of the ultimate importance to me. I like to eat! 🙂
It may be a couple of weeks before I get to do this (up to four) as I am trying to limit some spending. I just made a major purchase this week to have a new tool to play with and use as a survival tool if I needed to. I bought an Ipad, partially so I can transfer all my or many of my survival books to it, as well as all of my PDFs that I downloaded on survival topics. This way I can have my whole library with me when I travel for business… I will review the Ipad as a modern survival device for suburbanites shortly…
I also have plans to buy a camp stove, and will experiment with that I will be cooking in and will be posting on that in the future as well.
