Prepper FoodIs Stockpiling Prepper Food A Good Idea?

When I was a little boy, and we ran out of peanut butter, my mother would send me downstairs to get another jar off the shelf.

Usually, there would be two more jars behind that one.

My mother (just like her mother before her) always had months of food on hand at any given moment.

I grew up assuming this was normal. Yet as a young adult, I didn’t shop this way.

After buying “BIG”, I might have two weeks of food on hand.

I once asked my grandmother why she always had so much food in the house.

Her answer was, “Just In Case.” [Read more…]

Mountain House ReviewThis is Skilled Survival’s Mountain House Review

A few weeks back I received a couple of survival food pouches from Mountain House.

They wanted to hear what we had to say about their freeze-dried meals for survival.

So far, I’ve conducted thorough reviews of both Valley Food Storage‘s and Legacy Food Storage‘s survival food.

I was excited to put another survival food company to the test.

Now, full disclosure, I’ve used Mountain House products in the past.

Legacy Emergency Food ReviewLegacy Emergency Food Review – Is It Worth A Serious Investment?

Dinner time was making me nervous.

I was trying to keep my expectations in check as the family and I gathered around the table.

No, the evening’s dish wasn’t hot dogs and baloney (I know the kids would eat that stuff).

I was mentally prepared to make “something else” for everyone if things went south.

No matter what the packaging tries to sell (with its professional “perfect” meal photos), freeze dried food can’t hold a candle to a home-cooked meal. [Read more…]

Rice StorageRice is boring. Rice is just a filler, right? A basic grain with barely any flavor.

White unseasoned rice is nearly tasteless – (rice cakes – need I say more?)…

But today I’m going to convince you that rice is one of the most amazing (nearly perfect) long-term storage foods.

When first building your food storage supply, you must decide what you’re going to store in bulk and how you’re going to store it.

The truth of the matter is building a long-term food supply is hard.

For one, most foods spoil quickly. Even foods stuffed full of preservatives will eventually spoil. [Read more…]
