Sounds like a good system and I am sure you are proud of your work, but most don’t have the skills nor a home that such a systems would readily work with. Me I live in the Desert South West the last thing I want to do 6 months out of the year is fire up a stove.

The of point of these survival threads is getting survival tools into as many hands of as many as possible as quickly as possible. Now which fits that bill your system or something like this:

It is my understanding that it is the sprouting itself that neutralizes the problems with the digestive enzymes you mention.

The sprouting of beans and seeds allows access year round to fresh raw salad type food for the providing of vitamins, minerals, and proteolytic and other enzymes. The larger beans do cause some toxicity problems. As you point out, it is VERY necessary to rinse sprouts frequently whenever you grow them.

For a list of enzymes in sprouts see this article:

Afraid of the power going off, so have canned the meat.

Have ground beef, pork loin chunks, chicken, turkey, corned beef, beef, and bacon in my storage.

Have two more turkeys, about 6 more corned beefs, and 24 lbs of bacon to go.

Seasoned the ground beef - some for spaghetti, some for soup, some for breakfast (salt and pepper only).

I don't have bean sprouting seeds due to their problems of some being dangerous. I have stored others, especially broccoli sprouts. I bought these various sprouting seeds from professional sprout people. The broccoli sprouts don't taste like broccoli, just excellent sprouts for a salad along with other sprouts I got - one is a spicy sprout and I don't remember the others. They are in Mylar bags.

I have proper sprouting equipment and have made them numerous times to be sure I could do it. These sprouts will be my fresh veggies for salads. I think I got them at “Sprout People” website plus got some from Walton Food.

Exactly what I thought ... SPAM!

Unscented coconut oil who knew?

Also, I heard that millet is a better flour than wheat because it packs more of a nutritional punch. Not sure how well it stores.

Relatively cheap too.

Now that you mention it...

Well then a mass number of preppers are goibg to die. not only have i read for a year yhat thousands of preppers using calcium hypo chlorite but folks from public water works have attested that their minicipalities are usibg it.

[Donnafrflorida]

Calcium hypo chlorite is fine. sodium hypo chlorite no. look it up.

Something to consider- if using canned veggies- they are packed in water usually-save liquid re-use on beans. My understanding of soaking beans is that it is possible to re-use water for soaking- mightt be wrong- need to research
Also good idea to have method for sterlizing water from bad sources

Where's the beer?

I think I see two Heinekken, but that's not going to last.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Nestle powder?

Ooooh...now that's a good one. It certainly would add some zip to that detestable powdered milk. Thanks!

I live in Florida.

I feel your pain. I live in Louisiana and envy those cool basements in other areas. I would like someone who is preping in our area to give us some pointers. One good one given here was to freeze your flour for a few days and that will kill the bugs that are already in it. I store my flour in my freezer and frig.

[betsyross60]

Oven can your flour to keep the bugs out. Will last indefinitely.

[goosie]

How many people do you plan to feed with all of that. It is impressive.

[Bitsy]

How do I do that?

I watched a tape of Wendy DeWitt who is an expert on storage and she vacuum sealed pint jars of Nestle chocolate chips. One of the jars didn't seal and she discovered it years later. The unsealed jar was white and powdery and the sealed jar looked brand new. She used the jar sealer that can be bought for a Food Saver.
