Making a Root Cellar; Refrigeration Without a Refrigerator:

Root Cellars are an excellent way to store/refrigerate food. Once upon a time, root cellars were the only way people had to preserve their food. It's still a great way to store fruits and vegetables, especially when you need to store more than you have room indoors and without electricity. Take advantage of nature's "ice box." All it takes is a shovel, a little elbow grease and a trash can to Make a Mini Root Cellar In The Backyard In Less Than Two Hours. Depending on the need and resources, there are many DIY Root Cellar Plans and Ideas to Keep Your Harvest Fresh Without Refrigerators.

or if there is something like that if i could find it

So I don't know how much of a reputation the Church has for food storage and emergency preparedness anymore. We used to(?) have prepper levels of infrastructure people could buy to store all kinds of food and water in their basements and doom bunkers, with lessons and messaging to back it up. But I haven't heard anything about it in over a decade.

That said, there is one thing I have always found to be super important. It doesn't really cost anything and pretty much anyone can do it regardless of their money, time, or space constraints. And for the most likely emergencies a person will encounter, it's the thing you'd need first/most.

Water.

Whether you get cases or gallons of water from the store, wash out and refill some two liters, or keep a couple of filled pitchers or spare water bottles in the fridge, have some excess water you can access just in case.

"Emergency preparedness" conjures mental images of zombies and dystopic societal collapse. What it should conjure instead are things like busted pipes and power outages, job losses and injuries, adverse weather and illness. You know, things that will probably actually happen to you at some point.

The only time I've ever had to use my water storage was in college when the pipes downstairs busted and flooded the lower apartments. We didn't have water for days. Everyone made fun of my water storage until it came time to brush their teeth and they needed some of that water. And of course I shared. That's what it was there for, and I had more than enough set aside for each of us.

All this to say: emergency preparedness is a useful way to think about more than just catastrophic societal failures. It's also things like having an In Case of Divorce fund, wearing a medical alert bracelet, and forming a support network of who would take care of you if you suddenly had to have a tooth pulled. The common, stupid stuff that makes life overwhelming but isn't going to kill you.

Emergency preparedness means having that kind of stuff in place ahead of time.

Never done this before

Feels like our days are numbered. I feel like we live in a friggin bubble. We walk around like everything is fine and dandy. Is anyone watching the news? Do you see what’s really going on overseas? I’m not an advocate for main stream media, so I watch You Tube and hit X (Twitter) up.

I’ve never blogged before but I felt compelled to start. We have to get the word out. Prep now! Stock food, water, meds and protection. Water is going to be the next gold, I guarantee it. Food is a necessity but water is where it’s at. I have water but never enough. It hardly rains in my neck of the woods. We have a reservoir nearby but everyone knows it’s there and there’s literally thousands of people that will use it. Not to mention there’s the risk of venturing out. Think people. This is a serious issue.

I think getting 55 gallon drums can be helpful. Try marketplace on FB or your local classifieds. They should cost $10-30 a piece and must be food grade drums, ask what they had in them. Rinse them with bleach water until clean, fill them with tap water, stick them in a corner in the garage and forget about them until needed. Oops don’t forget to add a little bleach or buy the purification liquid off Amazon. Purify your water. I have purified my water but I will re-purify my water when I use it. Boiling, bleach or filtering it’s all good. I apologize for being scattered, I just want to get the point across, gets water now. Don’t wait please. I can show you how to make a filter, or how much bleach is needed. Nasty water borne bugs will not do you any justice. Who wants to have diarrhea when SHTF? (That’s shit hit the fan) BTW. That stuff can kill you. Be careful what you drink. Believe me those few cases of water you have stored in the pantry won’t last very long. Ration now. I buy cases of bottled every grocery run.

I wanted this blog to be quick little blurbs about prepping. Hit the high points. Water, food, meds, and protection. All needed and needed right now. We don’t have any time left, shits hitting the fan as we speak. It may not have hit our soil but it’s going to very soon.

Be prepared, not scared

Simple Tips for Building an Emergency Food Supply:

Having tasty, nutritious and readily-available food is something we expect in everyday life under normal circumstances. When we go hiking or camping, we want the same food quality that is easy to transport and prepare. In an emergency situation, we would like to have the same food attributes but may not be able to buy from our local grocery store because of the emergency circumstances. We don't need to face running out of water or food, or food quality and taste, when we know our nutritional needs, what we like and prepare for the expected and unexpected within a designated time frame. The following information is intended to help with suggestions on what to buy, how much to buy, where to buy it and how to store it. First is to determine how much we need. On average, the human body requires 2000 calories of food per day and 32 ounces of drinking water. Knowing this helps calculate our basic quantities. For example, a one-week (7-day) supply for one person would be 14,000 calories [of food] and 224 ounces (just under 2 gallons) of drinking water. NOTE: An additional 96 ounces (2/3 gallon) of water (per day per person) is suggested for bathing/sanitation (another topic of discussion). Here are some general rules, for everyone, on buying and storing ememgency foods: #1: Take Your Time and Go Slow. Begin with a three day supply, gradually building up to a week. Add a little more with each grocery store visit. #2: Spend Your Money Wisely. Look for bargains. Use coupons. Buy in bulk. #3: Stick to the Basics. Beans, rice, oatmeal, and powdered milk are staples in the survival food pantry but follow Tip #4. #4: Don't store food you don't like. Obvious but if you have to eat the same food for a few weeks, make sure you like the taste. #5: Know the expiration date* or when (date) the product was manufactured to determine an approximate expiration date*. #6: Store food in multiple locations (upstairs, downstairs, etc.) in case access is not possible to one or more storage location(s). #7: Store liquids (water) to rehydrate dehydrated foods: Most emergency foods need water to prepare. #8: Dried (dehydrated) foods are better than canned, fresh or frozen when it comes to camping and long-term storage. They, generally, last longer, take less space to store, provide more servings per container, there is less nutritional loss and are not as heavy (which can be helpful if it's necessary to carry in a bug out situation). #9: Keep food reserves in a cool, dry place. Keeping food in the attic (or even at normal room temperature) severely shortens its storage life. Consider a Root Cellar or other non-electric cooling/refrigeration methods. Read Food Storage Made Easy Power outages, and emergencies that disrupt our routine lives, are unpredictable and can last an hour, a day, a week or more. Foods with a long shelf-life and don't require heat or cooking are ideal for stocking the pantry in case of a power outage. Here are some suggestions: Water: The essential element to survival and necessary in every emergency plan and emergency supplies kit. Generally, commercially-sealed/bottled water does not go bad but depends on how it was processed. Water you have "bottled" yourself has a recommended maximum shelf life of 6 months for consumption. Unless water is known to be, or obviously, contaminated, don't throw water away in an emergency situation; it may still be possible to purify through distilling but it can be used for washing, watering edible/medicinal plants and other things. Recommended water storage amounts are at least 1 gallon of [drinking and sanitation] water per day per person for a minimum of 3 days. More is better. Additional water should be considered for Pets and dehydrated foods to re-hydrate. Consider these things when calculating water storage needs. Powdered Milk, Drink Mixes and Beverages Healthy Energy Drink Alternatives: Energy drinks are a wonderful thing to have on hand in the pantry, bug out bag, or even a first aid kit. There's a reason everyone from elite athletes to 8-year-old soccer players relies upon energy drinks and electrolyte drinks for vitality, energy, or replenishing nutrients lost while sweating. But commercial energy drinks are not good on the body, especially for those with a low immune system. Stock up on these few ingredients for the same beneficial effects as energy drinks: Good Ol' Coffee, Coconut Water, Apple Cider Vinegar, Green Tea, Organic Maple Syrup and Raw Honey. Coffee: Of all the pleasures of camping, sipping a freshly brewed cup of joe around the morning fire is, as the old TV commercial hummed along, the best part of waking up. Watch the Video, Ya'll Canned & Dried Meats Canned & Dried Fruits & Vegetables Dry Breakfast Cereals Honey Raw Honey, stored in a sealed container, can remain stable for decades, even centuries. Commercial Honey last about 2 years. If it crystalizes, just warm it to liquify again. The Greeks had an uncanny ability when it came to healing the body, and the medicinal purposes of many of nature’s wonders and bees were at the top of the list when it came to natural wonders that also contained healing powers.

Research and sample to find the one(s) that will suit your needs and tastes. Often, these companies will provide free samples. The point is that a long-term food storage plan should be part of your overall emergency plan. Top 10 Food Storage Companies Comparison Mountain House Products Nutritional Information Commercial Camping and Long Term Food on Amazon Long-term storage, freeze-dried foods need water to re-hydrate them. In my case, I have found that the amount of water recommended to re-hydrate the contents of a commercial long-term storage food product makes more of a soup than a dish so I usually use less water than recommended.
