One can’t go wrong with stocking up on food either from a monetary standpoint from a SHTF standpoint. I only wish more people would understand this.

This is a very significant development and the markets are beginning to reflect that. Let’s just hope it doesn’t get too bad too soon.

If it’s not enough to have to dodge tornadoes and hurricanes on a regular basis, now we have to dodge the sun. That’s just peachy.

Comment on The Preparedness Podcast – Episode 102 – Repacking for Food Storage, Part 2 by Rob

I thought I mentioned that I had one of those on the podcast(s). I use it all the time to seal food and other items in mason jars. Works great and is at worth having a Foodsaver just for that feature.

I just listened to your podcast. If you have a foodsaver for sealing, it’s worth the less than $10 investment to get the jar sealer attachment. I never use the foodsaver for the bags. The jars are wonderful. You can store nuts, chocolate chips, coconut, etc. along with other things. One cake mix will fit in a jar (but you would want to put it in a bag and then in the jar so the fine flour won’t get into the jar). Some people store their favorite cereals in it. I had some left over chex mix from Christmas one year and put it in a half gallon jar and sealed it. The next year we opened it up and it was just as crisp and good as it was the year before! Here’s a link so you can see what I am talking about. You can get an attachment for wide mouth and regular mouth jars. Here’s one from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0023-01-Wide-Mouth-Jar-Sealer/dp/B00005TN7H

Comment on North Korea Nears Completion of Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb by Jimmy

Yeah, when I read One Second After I was totally already into prepping and it made me glad I had my year plus supply already. Even then, the scenario was not something I’d ever want to go through. Did you read the foreword by Gingrich? Those who have food will need to defend it, not only against looters, but against the government- including local governments. Would you fork over your food storage to the local sherrif? Would you do battle with him and the posse? Tough decisons. BTW, just a small plug for my website: http://www.year-supply.com thanks!
