Preppers’ PING!!
Please consider this our weekly Preppers’ Thread to post progress, good buys, DIY projects, advice and ideas.
I will start things off I went to the dentist and finished the last of the major work I need done! Now I just need to do my do diligence and I should be ok.
Why do I list this? Because during SHTF you don’t want to have major dental problem! Anyone who watched Tom Hank’s movie ‘Castaway’ will understand!
Canning ‘maters’ today.
Couple of “must listen to” interviews with Steven Harris here:
Dealing with large scale blackout.
Keeping the stuff in your freezer & fridge cold.
Alternative power supplies (your car).
BTW, you haven't had cornbread until you fresh grind your own corn. Same with wheat bread. Much better than the packaged stuff.

Thanks. Didn't know that.
There is NOTHING that improves the taste of powdered milk. Vile nasty stuff. Was forced to choke it down as a kid. Won't have it in my house no matter what hits the fan. Wouldn't even consider it if it were a zombie deterrent. Evaporated milk is only slightly less vile so have a few cans of that. To each his own.
After an expensive (even at diy $) much needed repair (and ten more still on the back burner) this summer the budget isn't there for even an extra can of corn. So, changing gears back to organization of what is already on hand. That's a free cost exercise and might save some $ when a long forgotten something pops up that is a useful prep item. Clearing out junk will give more space for preps.
I can highly recommend the Grandma’s Country Cream dried milk. I cannot tell the difference between it and the 2% milk from the grocery store. No after taste at all. We use it everyday on our cereal, in coffee, cooking and just to drink a cold glass. Its cheaper than buying the nasty stuff from the grocery store. A case of 6 #10 cans is about $86. Each can makes 5 gallons.
I just consumed a bowl of soup that was out of date since 2/2/2011. I will check in tomorrow if I have a case of botulism.
