Thank you for joining in, I will check the book out, as good ones are rare.

Before 9-11, there was a freezing group at Yahoo groups, some of them were attempting to make their own vaccum for sealing, by using the vaccum, with a big drinking straw, taped to the end of it, which was inserted into the package and pulled the air out.

Not perfect, but cheap and better than none.

I have the “Stocking up” book and several others, but one never has enough books.

As someone said, without electric, the internet and our computers are going to cease to exist.

I’ve seen some hand ones but they look cheap.

I’ve got a zillion books, that’s the one I usually refer to. It tells you how to do everything, from a real homesteader who’s done it.

I ran a truck gardening operation for about 6 years. The area I live in just isn’t much of a market for home grown produce, but I sure did learn how to grow things. Learned so much I don’t even garden by the books anymore.

This year I’m going to fool around with biochar.
