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 […]
The Time Is Now, and It’s Not Too Late
I’m sitting in another damn airport. Not bitching, however, just another damn airport. I have to rant a bit. The time is now. The time is now if you are not a prepper to prep. The conversations I have had with friends who are in the real world (Middle America) verifies that now is the […]

“Store what you eat, eat what you store”
In the survivalist and prepper community, this is a mantra often repeated. Like any mantra or simplified rule of thumb, it serves its purpose up to the point. While having simple rules to follow is often a good thing, the devil is in the details. For me, this simple rule is not so simple to […]
