    How do you prep when you move every few years?

    Most of my food storage is freeze dried already ;) Due to food allergies we don't store wheat, dairy anymore either. What kills me is I look at our house and it is sparse compared to a lot of families but when you have kids those pounds add up quick, add in an array of tools I think are a...

    Berkey water filter - as good as they claim?

    Unfortunately the filters are made in China and with all their poisonings they seem to do I am not sure I want them to eliminate the pathogens in possibly filthy drinking water. I know that sounds harsh but I try to find more trusted sources for this stuff. I ordered them and ended up selling...

    How do you prep when you move every few years?

    I was hoping to hear from people who have experience in this, I do a lot more than most but end up donating huge stocks to the food banks when moving time comes. I really hate to do that but we have a weight limit we max every time. So what would you suggest? I have been a prepper for many years...

    What do you can?

    Canning is a lot of work but it is very rewarding also! Try to store what you can in the coolest room on your house but in a pinch I will use tubs under the bed (darker, no light on them) I can for many reasons, first and foremost it is a skill you can use for lifetime of good food and survival...

    Wood burner with 55 gallon barrels?

    I have thought of this also but was afraid of an insurance nightmare even in the garage. Here is the kit to finish one out, it is on sale for 39.99 and I see barrels often for free. May be a good experiment for the greenhouse though. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_20894_20894...

    LED Light bulbs

    No, I prefer very white light, and they work for us, but my Dad does not like the light they put out (too white, he prefers more yellow light) The spotlights feels more like a incandescent bulb light wise to us.

    I have changed out all our bulbs to LED now and I received a $40.00 rebate check in the mail due to consuming less than our average neighbors consumption (unexpected and awesome!)
