Can’t do a whole lot, but we’re doing what we can to be prepared. Our small garden yielded enough variety that we have canned, frozen and dried food. Hopefully, the power doesn’t go down, as my freezer is full. I just froze chicken soup and butternut squash soup. If we can’t eat it in one sitting, the rest gets frozen. My husband learned how to make sauerkraut, and canned that, and then he took the last of the green tomatoes and made sweet pickles. We normally would have let the little ones die on the vine. We have apples in the dehydrator right now. We don’t have enough food for a year, but we are at least stocked for a couple of months. We need to focus on First Aid and heat.

And coffee.

LOTS of coffee!

Check out the YouTube videos by Patriot Nurse. I think you may find them helpful.
