Sorry to disappoint some of you, but the author choice the title to be gratuitous so as to get people to read the aritcle.

I thought this was a great line in the article:
"Having food in your basement allows you to sustain yourself and your family instead of relying on the generosity of friends or the welfare of your church or government. There’s nothing wrong with asking for help – but there’s everything right about preparing yourself and having the confidence and dignity of knowing you are taking care of your own."

Please consider this to be your weekly Preppers’ PING!!

I was expecting it to be about GI’s during WW2. They knew a fair bit about the sexy side of prepping! Did ANY of them ship out for the UK without half a dozen pairs of nylons?

Not to mention that if you do it wisely you can save a great deal of money as well.

With the exception of my very long term stores (freezed dried cans) all of my other food preps were\are built on sale items.

Just like the tagline every day on The Survival Podcast: “Helping you live a better life if times get tough, OR EVEN IF THEY DON’T.”

I just tried the Red Feather Brand(tm) canned butter from New Zealand. I needed to sample it anyway, and the bread was fresh out of the oven and I was out of store-bought butter.

Turns out it's pretty darn good. Slightly darker color than Land O' Lakes, and a richer flavor. Regular butter texture, and spreads like any other butter.

I'll be adding more to my larder. Only downside is that it's a salted butter, and for some specialty cooking, I prefer to use unsalted. But I'll add a few more cans. I'm sure I can cope. ;)

There’s nothing worse than craving brown sugar poptarts

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.
