I have been looking forward to reading this, since it was mentioned on a thread the other day. Good reading-Thanks for the post. We started gardening for real 3 years ago.

I have successfully canned a lot of stuff, and dehydrated lots of stuff too. Especially when we have too much produce to eat in the summer.

One winter, we grew our own wheat. Harvested it in June. Hand thrashed it and ground it up in a coffee grinder to make whole wheat bread.

Each year we have attained several new prepper skills. I am feeling more confident now that we will be able to be almost totally self sufficient as it pertains to food, as long as we can remain at home. A rural area populated by social conservatives.

My articles are more pointed to poverty cooking, since lots of folks are out of work right now, but some of it works for prepping.

I lost a lot in the crash of 2008, and have gone months at a time without going to the grocery store. Part of that was having preps, and a lot of that was poverty cooking.
