The Internet Grocer also has a bunch of recipes at Dehydrated Foods Recipes - Using your food storage

Here are a couple of recipe links. The first is for canned meats (can be used for any canned meats), the second is for dehydrated foods: http://www.internet-grocer.net/meatrecp.htm http://www.internet-grocer.net/recipes.htm

WyomingEMT: I hope you properly repackaged those 50 bags of foods. Many items (wheat, in particular) come with bug eggs already in them. If the foods are not repackaged and canned with oxygen absorbers, or diatomaceous earth, you end up with a bag containing dust and dead insects. mrmarklin: I constantly counsel people NOT to store water. It's extremely dangerous. A much better solution is to get a *quality* water filter, like the AquaRain which filters to 99.9999% (pictures are on my website). You can then safely drink about 30,000 gallons of lake, pond, river, pool or puddle water on ONE set of filter "candles". Hope this helps! Bruce

Antsyl, The radical, far-left has been at work for decades *stealing* our country. They now have control of entertainment, education and 99% of news outlets. I believe they think they now have enough power to take total power (with Obama in power). It's now only a matter of time ... within a year, I think, until our Republic is totally deconstructed. It's time to get prepared!

Products - Emergency, storable foods and other products that Best Prices Storable Foods sells discounts Walton's product line, plus has canned meats, cheese and butter.

One book you might want to look at is JUST ADD WATER (if you store dehydrated foods). You can read about it at Book - Just Add Water, How To Use Dehydrated Foods and TVP Best regards, Bruce

As for a wheat grinder, please read the write up for the Family Grain Mill at Grain Mill - The Family Grain Mill and Attachments It's reasonably priced and easy to grind by hand ... and it has a wide variety of attachments that can be added.

I've been raising chickens for 3+ years. Some tips: 1. They need at least 12 hours of light/day (14 is preferred) to keep laying eggs, so plan on artificial light on a timer. Fluorescent light won't work. Stock up on 100W bulbs (before they're all outlawed. It's already happening.) 2. Chickens will destroy a vegetable garden, so it needs to be fenced in, if you let your chickens free-range (which is a good idea, it saves on feed and reduces your insect problems). 3. Chickens don't fly OVER things. They fly up to it, land on it, and then fly down to get to the other side. So, make your garden fence wobbly at the top. That will prevent them from being able to be "secure" at the "fly up" stage, and they won't get into your garden. Buy non-hybrid seeds for your garden, so you can harvest the seeds at the end of each season, in case your seed-supplier disappears. See Non-Hybrid Seed Pack, 25 varieties including nonhybrid sweet corn! for a really good deal on them. For storing water, the most practical and space-saving solution is to get a water filter. The best one out there is a gravity filter (uses no energy). See AquaRain Gravity Water Filter from Best Prices Storable Foods It filters 16-32 gallons/day, depending on the model. You can filter lake, pond or puddle water safely.

I'm pretty sure the fascist government will consider *any* food storage or preparations as "hoarding". Marxists want everyone (except the privileged class) "equal", so whatever food preps you made will be confiscated "for the common good" (or redistributed to the elites' pantries). If any readers voted for Obama, I hope they repent... The "change" that's coming will not be good for our Republic.

Government no longer follows the Constitution, so there's no protection in the Amendments. Dumbed-down Americans have elected our first Marxist president ... who *will* wreck the economy and redistribute the wealth, which will likely include your food storage in time of emergency. Hunker down. America's CHANGING, just like he promised.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. (Maybe my lack of higher education doesn't get the message across.) I don't understand what you mean by "How it is necessary". Since we've abandoned God as our "government", we have no choice but to submit to [a] man's rule. Bruce

Man's government has never been benevolent. By NATURE it's oppressive (and prepare for the *most* oppressive government in US history, beginning January 20, 2009). Are you skimming my posts, or really reading them and thinking them through?

I'm not sure you're thinking through the Scripture I quoted. It doesn't really apply to what God ALLOWED, it applies to what man DID. As to the D&C reference, when D&C conflicts with Bible Scripture, I side with the Bible. Bruce

Remember, in the book of I Samuel, when the Israelites asked for a king to rule over them? They didn't want Samuel's corrupt sons to judge them, they wanted a king to rule them. "And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them." I Samuel 8:7 KJV And He goes on to tell them that the ruling king (government) will take their sons for his army (the draft), take their daughters for bakers and cooks, institute an income tax, take a portion of their servants and flocks, and make the Israelites his servants. "And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day." I Samuel 8:18 KJV That was the beginning of HUMAN GOVERNMENT of the Israelites ... when they rejected God's government. Read the context. According to Daniel's prayer of praise, when God revealed to him that he would not perish with the men of Babylon, "[God] removeth kings, and setteth up kings" Daniel 2:21 (see also Daniel 4:17) which gives man's government legitimacy ... but that doesn't change the fact that--had man not rejected God as his Governor--there would be no need for *man's* government. Hence, it's a necessary evil. Bruce

You *really* don't need to buy "specially canned" foods. There's a fascinating article about 2 instances where 100+ year-old canned food was discovered and found to be edible. See How long will canned foods store? Use your local grocery store for food storage!
