Question….
What’s the best way to store whole coffee beans?

My thought was to put them in canning jars and vacuum seal them and stick them in the freezer, but I could find next to nothing about that method for storage.

I thought someone here might have experience with this.

Thank you... :)

Seeds are important. I went to HD last week and stocked up. Because you never know.

4 WAY SILLCOCK KEY

This is a tool used to open water taps/faucets that do not have a handle.
Many commercial buildings, apartments and government buildings have outside water spigots/hose bibs that require this tool to operate.

In a SHTF emergency when there is no more water pressure there can still be some potable water in building plumbing systems.
Especially in multi-story buildings.

With this tool you can open a ground level outside tap to drain any remaining water from higher levels in the building pipes.

It's a good item to have in your Bail-Out-Bag or Get-Home Bag just in case...

Available at Ace Hardware, Loews, Home Depot, Amazon, etc. for around $5 to $10.

Properly packaged freeze-dried food from a trusted processor is your best bet for long-term food storage. It’s more expensive to go this route, but it’s worth it.

   Thanks but FR went from 3 threads with over 10,000 posts each in 2018 to under 1,700 in 2018 to less than 300 in 2020-21? Where did they all go. Purged, died or left?

The kits that she talks about from LDS, are no longer available. Those were number 1 cans. 1 case was the basic food for 1 month for 1 person. Rice, Beans, Red Wheat, White Wheat, Flour, Oats.

Now you have to buy a whole case of whatever if you order from the LDS website. The on line store also has some fruit, veggies, milk, and a few other items.

Someone was asking about generators.

We have this one, a Duromax Sidekick 2000

https://www.duromaxpower.com/products/duromax-xp2000eh-2000-watt-dual-fuel-digital-inverter-hybrid-portable-generator

It’s listed as unavailable at the moment, but it’s a great little inverter/generator and it’s portable. I can even pick it up for short distances.

There may be something else out there similar. I don’t know, but this is just for people’s information.
