From a very young age there are so many things that we prepare for in life. We prepare for our first day of school by shopping for “school clothes” and supplies. We prepare for exams by studying information so that when tested the knowledge can be recalled. We prepare for dates by putting on our best clothes and putting our best foot forward. We prepare for job interviews. We prepare for buying our first home. We prepare for health issues. We prepare for a wedding…a child…a car accident…a shower…dinner…the list goes on and on.
The truth of the matter is that “prepping” is already ingrained into our everyday lives. We are already a people that have been taught, by word, deed and experience to prepare for life events. For today’s purposes I am speaking to what is commonly referred to as “disaster prepping”, “WTSHTF prepping”, “survival prepping” or, most recently “doomsday prepping”. Well let me tell you folks, when it’s put like that not only is it not sexy but it sure doesn’t sound like much fun or something that I would want to do. Why would I want to subject myself and my family to living in a cloud of fear and paranoia about the end of the Mayan calendar, the zombie apocalypse, the murderous rampage my neighbors might go on if the local Wallyworld closes during an economic collapse, or a host of other terrors propagated by the media and fear mongers? Let me be clear, I wouldn’t want to live in fear, I don’t want to live in fear and so I prepare for every day possibilities and that, in and of itself, prepares me for the crazy ones.

On the peaches.... I would have (did) clean them, boil them down, add cane sugar and water to make 6 gallons at about 15 degrees balling, pitch some yeast at the proper time.
Place airlock, wait, decant and clarify.
The most important thing is to NOT tell your neighbors about it or offer them a sample. It disappears quickly.
Treated that way, it still offers vitamin C and carbohydrates and other trace elements required for life, and a slight buzz. ;)

The pound cake was something you could use for a wheel chock. But it was probably that way in 54.
We had it good, brother... In the Second Mexican-American war... They served the last of the Civil War hardtack. 1865 era to 1914. Stored in wooden barrels.
Always the grunt that gets the crap. And eventually leads the way on food preservation. Napoleon put a 10,000 franc bounty out on food preservation that led to Pasteur bottling peas in champagne bottles. For soldiers and sailors.

And where does one find canned butter?

Bookmarked!
They’re still digging up the salt cod rations given to Roman Legionnaires in places. The more things change and all that.
Best.

After a while, you get to like the stuff.
Best Regards

Why would you want to get to like it? LOL
Have a pleasant weekend, sir.
What, you think there are no FReeper preppers in your area? Please, post.
Simple enough to make a sugar cookie recipe, roll the dough out and cut circles with a jar lid. Spoon on a mixture of brown sugar and spice or fruit preserves if you want a fruit poptart. Cover with another circle of dough and bake. Better than poptarts.
The older the recipe book, the better - Betty Crocker, Fannie Farmer, Williamsburg, pioneer and outdoor cooking and also solar recipes. Add to that an edible weed or foraging book.
And it changes in a couple of miles. You could write volumes on what grows in which county and when to eat it and how to cook it.
I'll finish this on first and then work on the one you suggested.
I did lose a kidney, spleen, and 17 units of blood in NM. And spent 2 weeks in intensive/trauma care (broken ribs and verts are free). Life can be harsh out here.

True dat. I've been making a study of books written in America post civil war and pre 1920s crash. Their instructions are a little hazy, as are the measurements, but I get the gist.
Most of the books are available for free, somewhere on the web.

Please put me one your ping list for when you post this. I will probably learn something and am in north Texas and north eastern N.M. often or close enough to check this out.
/johnny
If required (and I can, some, I can't) I'll explain it.
This actually does matter for the article that I'm writing.
