Emergency Preparedness

I have been reading the "Emergency Preparedness and Survival Guide" from the Backwoods Home Magazine.There is one section that gives you 4 week shopping list that you are supose to get these supplies for just $10 bucks. Well I want to give it a whirl. I don't know if I will be able to do for $10 bucks, but I will try to keep it close as possible. The first week is 10 pounds of rice, 2 pounds of beans, a jar of Tang, and 5 pound tub of vegetable shorting. I will be doing this shopping today after church and posting the results later tonight.

I did get to prep some garden items yesterday. I got to make 3 pints of salsa, spicy at that. I was able to pick some more cukes from the garden I am going to try and make some dill's with them.

I'm a fan of Backwoods Home Magazine and recommend it to others. They have a pretty good handle on preparedness and self reliant living and do a good job interacting with readers via the letters section.
All the best on your own preparedness efforts.

I'd just say to remember the listed prices are from before the recent jumps so I'd raise the bar to say $15.00.

Only add Tang if you like Tang.

Rice is pretty important, though.
