Review of 5-Minute Microwave Canning

First, this is an interesting book…  I 5-Minute Microwave Canning to see if there was a shortcut  to canning, and to help me understand if you could can/jar using a microwave.  If so, what foods you can can/jar.  My first disappointment was not with the book itself. It was because you could not can or […]

We still want you dependent upon the government, so don’t become independent! 😉 So, what skill do you want to develop for National Preparedness […]

Prepper Evangelical

To be frank, I think it is almost impossible to change people’s ideas on just about any subject. Their opinions have been formed over countless hours of careful conditioning. In our case, in our time, in this country, […]
