Shatter resistant. It's not guaranteed keep them out, but it will slow them down/deter them...give you a better chance to react. Windows and garage doors are substantial weak points. Always keep your inner garage door locked.

For cooking have a look at a Dakota fire hole little smoke and efficient, I also have a Kelly kettle which boils water rapidly just using twigs, leaves etc.

Always remember when you get your preps in order, insects, rodents, and mold will want to get to them. Invest in oxygen absorbers, mylar bags, and food grade buckets.

Last, have a plan to defend your hard earned goods. Firearms and plenty of ammo. Place shatter resistant film over your windows, install door armor, etc. People get desperate when they are hungry.

I’ve been using canning jars and larger empty plastic juice bottles with oxygen absorbers. Picked up a small canner at a thrift store and a water bath one for foods that don’t require the pressure. I’ve canned orange marmalade. If I’m ever successful at growing foods, I will can the excess.

My husband is in charge of firearms. I need to look into the window film and door armor. Thanks for suggesting that.

Mango trees?!! I would love to plant one of those, potatoes too! I bought a ProPur gravity filter a few years back, which gives me peace of mind. A few months back I tested mine, thinking the filter seemed ready to change and so I put lots of put blue food coloring in the tank and it still came out clear! I bought this composter today to start making some nutritious soil.

That composter looks good. I dug a hole for compost near my papaya trees. I got hung up on the details and stopped. I also put empty plant pots with the bottom cut out by my banana and mango tree. I throw kitchen scraps in these. This has been the easiest for me to continue doing.

I have been stocking up on milk powder and canned milk. Have you tried making any dairy products using milk powder?

I haven’t tried any dried milk powder for two reasons, I haven’t acquired any that is grass fed and secondly because I hadn’t taken seriously this survival stuff, past being prepared for an earthquake living in California. I have had so many more important and immediate things on my mind, but have realized this really needs to be important. I will look into powdered milk today. Thanks for giving me that lead!

I am avoiding any survival stuff that requires me to store fuel, so I went ahead and bought the solar cooking one that sunny recommended yesterday. This Dakota fire hole is a great idea!

How to Make a Dakota Fire Hole

There are countless ways to make a fire, and each one has its benefits. It’s time to visit an ancient methodology known as the Dakota fire hole.

I wasn’t really taking it seriously and still hope it won’t become a reality. Similarly, we prep for hurricanes, which is why we own a generator. I have a friend that lost a freezer full of beef from power outages and we have also have been without city water for a short period.
I recently purchased and filled a small freezer and someone in my family accidentally unplugged it. This gave me a quick unintended rehearsal on what could happen. I had to cook 3 chickens, 3 lbs of scallops, and a few steaks for dinner one night. Luckily, it’s a chest freezer and only foods near the top had defrosted!

That has happened to a couple of friends near me and got me nervous, they list a lot of food too. So I keep a lot of freezer packs in the freezer to use in a few good coolers for just an emergency. I also have kept all the mylar insulated packs that cold food been sent to me in to use if I have to keep cold food cold. Funny what has been a nuisance in the past, this block of ice that keeps building up in my freezer seems like a potential blessing now, so I am letting it stick around now

Freezer packs is a great idea! I pictured myself canning the meat on my little Coleman stove or my fire pit?

Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to learn some canning skills. My father-in- law use to can his own pot roast. That seems a little scary to me, but he loved it and lived to tell about it.

I recently made orange peel marmalade and decided I wanted to make it shelf stable so I bought the water bath canner (didn’t really know there was another kind). I struggled getting the peel mixture to a high enough temp but it did eventually turn out.

I picked up a small pressure canner at a thrift store. My understanding is the pressure method is required for meats. I’m not sure if it’s required for both raw and cooked meats.

Skills!! Things I never planned on in my old age.

I know me either. I just pulled out a fondue pot and noticed I have some canned heat for it. I figure I can use it for soup! I am gonna get some extra cans of heat for it!

I have also been thinking about not wanting to waste water on cleaning pots during an emergency so I bought some disposable aluminum “pots” for cooking on my Weber grill and thought I would use my crock pot enamel pot and line it with these disposable crock pot liners and use my new solar oven to cook like a crock pot for hours in the sun!

Survivalist African “Tortilla Soup


Today I created, my twist, on tortilla soup, in just 20 minutes! I just boiled 2.5 cups beef broth (I used my homemade) with a handful of finely chopped raisins for about 10 minutes , then added 1/3 cup of salsa, 1 tablespoon gelatin bloomed in a half cup of water and a can of beef stew to the mix, as well as 2 tablespoons of masa. The seasonings aren’t in the #1 ingredients photo, but I seasoned the soup with garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin and salt. Serve it topped with crushed plantains. I like the spicy mango ones fried in coconut oil, but their plain ones are just as good! This soup is chock full of protein!

I spent two hours in my backyard trying to make a fire with my magnifying glass fire starter. It makes fire within seconds, but I could not get a good fire going with it. I might need to buy some fire starter chips. Here is my little fire :)

 

[Rinse & rePeat]

Rinse & rePeat:

“Which do you think is better as an outdoor survival cooking method wood or charcoal?”

RAY PEAT:

“Wood releases more heat.”

Rinse & rePeat:

“Hmmm…Is one a cleaner source than the other?”

RAY PEAT:

“Making charcoal is extremely polluting. Butane and propane are clean burning.”

Make sure you have kindling of various sizes immediately on hand nearby. Once you get a flame on your fire starting material, add small sticks about 1/2 the width of a pencil, then progressively add larger diameter pieces. Always err on the side of less is more regarding the volume of wood you add at each juncture. I have seen many, many people smother a fire by adding too much fuel too soon. Blow on it, but gently. A young fire wants oxygen, but not too much.
