I've been "Preping" for two years and I'm still not fully confident I thought of, and had the money to get, ready. Today I bought two very largev storage containers for my sugar and flour. The ones I am currently using aren't big enough and are needed for dried bean storage. I also have been freezing eggs and dehydrating onions. Next dehydrate more apples and some celery. Then can up some corn meal, some meat and maybe some potatoes. Going through my seed inventory tomorrow. Been working on getting a wood stove installed. So much to do. So little time.♥️🇺🇸
Me since 08 when Obummer stole my pension, opened my eyes. You are never fully confident because no one can predict all emergencies but I laughed at everyone fighting over toilet paper, still I havent bought any since 08. I stay away from freezing whenever possible in case of power outs. Instead of big bins for flour, sugar, etc I store in Mason jars to prevent bugs from destroying it all. I can lots of meats and soups more for adequate hydration....I even keep jars of water.
The more you do, the more you remember needs done but you are always better off than anyone else.
Yes that works too, I’d love to do that, all the meats are in there so the flour is in cold store, the bay seems to work pretty well. I guess the whole reason for Bay is from the Romans. Who knew?
“Evidence Based.However, these leaves have been a part of the culinary and medicinal world for thousands of years, dating to at least the ancient Roman times.According to a 2019 report published in the Medicinal Plants of South Asia Journal, bay leaves not only add great flavor and taste to the food, but also help to give relief from abdominal pain, gastrointestinal infections, flatulence, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea.When the essential oil of bay leaves is extracted, it can be mixed into a salve and applied to the chest to help alleviate various respiratory conditions.Inhaling the vapor has a similar effect to aromatherapy and can loosen up the phlegm and eliminate dangerous bacteria that may be trapped in your respiratory tracts, thanks to its natural antibacterial quality. “
I use lemon juice in a bowl of water. Sorry I can't give you a ratio. You can also use a product called Fruit Fresh. I thinks it's just dehydrated citrus acid.
I don't soaked them any longer than it takes to do the peeling and cutting.
I have a tool that peels, cores and slices them with a few turns of the handle. Once I'm done I dump the water and place them on the dehydrator trays. That's it. You can also dehydrate in the oven at a very low temp but I like the counter top convenience better.

Sounds like you're doing good. It's a lifestyle.
Yes it is.

Place a Bay leaf into the flour that will keep bugs away.
I just freeze it. Kills off the eggs that are in all flour.

A prepper's job is never done. Been prepping for 13 years .... after a while it just becomes habit.
Keep up the good work! May I ask, how do you dehydrate your apples. Do you soak them in lemon juice first?

Thank you very much!
I’m right there with you exactly! So much to do!
