It’s bright and happy, so the kiddies don’t get scared when they read it.

I got one of these, a little expensive but you can filter water right out of the river or lake. It’s portable too.
give survivalblog.com a look if you haven’t already. lots of great info there. I just finished JWR’s new book and it is a great read.
Another great resource. Thank you.
Many people who live in rural areas do these things as a matter of course. When you can your produce, you can a year’s worth of whatever, prepare a year’s worth of meat, etc.
This isn’t survivalist mentality as much as it is common sense. Stuff happens. Be prepared.
I would add: learn to do things. Knit, crochet, fix things, grow things, etc. Learn to sew.
Before the Industrial Revolution, women spent more time on laundry and clothes than anything else - more than food preparation - it took up something like 40% of their week.
I think there is a sailing supplies website that sells sailor boy crackers, canned bacon, cheese, butter, bread and such.... designed to last 10 years if stored properly.
