Hi All, Prepping today consisted of researching rain harvesting. I’m pretty excited about this. I’ve wanted to do it for quite a while. I still have to decide how many barrels to get. I’m thinking of starting with two and maybe adding a third once I get the system set up. I purchased Daisy’s water book and it should be here this weekend. There are a couple of other books on rain harvesting on Amazon that I downloaded to my tablet to read.
I decided that I really need to focus on my preps in order of importance. That’s why the rain harvesting is coming before the solar oven. I’ll still be making one of those but the water needs to come first.
Agree wholeheartedly on the spiritual prep followed by getting physically fit which is also a priority for me.
Muffy glad you finally got your powdered eggs sealed. This is one of those reasons I use the coffee filters on anything powdered. The FoodSaver will suck up fine particles that prevent a good seal. I’ve heard you can do the same thing with two lids on the jar while you run the machine. One lid would seal while the other is a barrier.
After reading so many comments about dehydrating I’ve been inspired to do some myself. I did some carrots a week or so ago but need to definitely do more dehydrating. I can dehydrate plenty of vegetables and fruits and buy freeze dried meats to round out our meals.
