For those looking for an afternoon of enjoyable exploration, you might be drawn to this site. The proprietor includes images, film clips, and stories of ‘everything’. Always find it interesting to gaze at the old postcards/matchbooks from years ago; and to mention anything about the golden age of movies is only a reminder of the true “MOVIE STARS” we once saw on the big screen. Hope you enjoy

Hello fellow preppers! Here is a ping to the revived granny survival thread.
Sorry I have been absent of late. I’ve been having a lot of problems with my arms, old repetitive stress injuries that I live with daily. I can usually keep it under control, but the last month has been pretty tough. I’m thinking I might have to forgo my garden this year. I’ve had to just sit quietly and watch the weeds take over :-( oh well, if I go out there and try to do too much I could do myself permanent harm, so not a good idea. I do have to get better for when TSHTF. At the moment this is my most worrisome issue.
Anyway my question/topic for today is – what sort of food storing medium do you prefer?
I got myself a food saver and I’m pretty obsessed with it. I have food saver it and froze some pesto, vacuum sealed some chocolate, and even sealed some extra eyeglass frames in mason jars. It is surprisingly fun and I’m thinking about doing crackers next.
On the other hand, I do love my mylar and oxygen absorbers as well. Those are like 100% thing, they will always work right and you don’t have to worry if you’re actually getting a good vacuum. Even easier is oxygen absorbers in Mason jars.
Although I did seal some baking chocolate in Mason jars with the food saver. I love that there is no additional cost after you buy the food saver, and I can open the jar, take out what I want, and seal it again – all for free.
Just wondering what others are using and what your experiences are.
