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!
I am way behind, but just started doing some vacuum sealing, and possibly jumping in to pressure canning.
I love sriracha sauce but it is too hot for me. I am attempting to make my own this afternoon, I have the chiles on the stove as we speak. I will let you know how it works. There are recipes on the net but I’m going to do it the way I had it in my head before I read the recipes.
“Because during SHTF you don’t want to have major dental problem!”
You don’t want to have ANY health problem during SHTF, that you can fix before that happens.
I had double cataract surgery earlier this year and I thought about if I had put that off, with eyesight getting worse and worse and a long term emergency happened, I could go blind because the surgery wouldn’t be available. Now, with that over, my eyesight is 20-20.
I would say “prep” your body. If you need minor surgery for anything, do it now while you still can. During an emergency, your eyes, arms and legs and feet need to work. Maybe you need a hearing aid - get it now.
Body prep is important.
A pot of rice with a half pound of burger in gravy and a can of green beans makes a quick, hot and satisfying one pot dinner for four people.
I'm about to do the same - taking care of the personal maintenance stuff is a wise investment right about now. I had Lasik surgery done two years ago for much the same reason - I don't mind being dependent on $15 reading glasses from Walgreens; losing or breaking prescription lenses could be big trouble in the future (think of Donald Pleasance's character in "The Great Escape").
