What have you done today to be prepared?

What have you done today to be prepared? We have been canning. So far we have put up tomato juice, pasta sauce, smoked pasta sauce, sweet salsa, spicy salsa, pickled jalapenos, pickled okra, pickled green beans, and pickled cauliflower. Still got plenty of more things to can and put up to be prepared!

Prepare for what?

Prepare for what?

Mainly just being prepared in general, but I mainly prepare for natural disasters and things at that scale. I'm def not like the ones you'd see on the TV show Dooms Day Preppers. Also was you just on 385?

Just picked up some 9mm and 45 ammo. Also got a few freeze dried food items. never hurts to have a little on hand. The wife and I like the Mountain House and the Wise products the best I think. They're great for just a quick meal too.

Bought a single burner butane stove and a number of spare fuel tanks. Got tried of pumping up the old Coleman. Don't do much canning any more since don't have a garden, to many people have tamed to wildlife around here to the point they think your garden is just for them. If you're pickling beans I've got to wonder if you put away any pickled corn?

My grandma used to put green beans, corn, onions and pepper in crock. She called it mixed pickles. She would toss a handful in a skillet with some bacon grease and serve it with supper. It's making my mouth water thinking about it.

My wife at some time bought canning stuff, but never got around to doing anything with it. Her Aunt did a lot of canning though.
A lot of that kinda thing got lost as we moved into cities and had postage stamp lots and no gardens

Just put up a new shelf in the back room to consolidate our surplus. I plan on putting 5 gallon buckets of rice and flour underneath the shelf.

Looking good! I can't wait until we get out of this rental house so I can actually have more room to stock a few things.
