After midnight here, so I guess I’m 2 days late in posting, not just 1, lol.  On February 1st, I watched more good videos on the Modern Refugee and Alaska Prepper YouTube channels, then continued working on my food storage inventory list (I write it out on a lined pad first, then key the data into my computer).

Yesterday, February 2nd, I watched that movie “Bird Box” on Netflix – not many preparedness tips in it, except it did show folks scavenging for supplies in grocery stores and abandoned houses (with one character admonishing the others to take canned goods and nutritious foods that would last well without power). It was unbelievable to me that the electricity would have stayed on given the crashes, fires, accidents, etc., being caused by the mass suicides – but that’s artistic license I guess.  I did like the way the group of wanna-be survivors managed to navigate to the grocery store with all the car windows blacked out.

Later in the day, I read articles on how to adjust your baking recipes when you bake with home-ground flour from ancient grains such as Spelt and Einkorn.  Now that my Mockmill has arrived, I need to order wheat and spelt berries so I can get started with some baking projects.  However, I first want to order some gamma seal lids (color-coded yellow for grains of course, lol) and buy some food-grade buckets and large Mylar bags to line those buckets so I’ll have a good place to store the grains when I get them.  Have to figure out how to fit that extra expense into my budget over the next couple of months.
