Just a little blog to try and communicate what we are accomplishing here, and also what we are trying to accomplish. Not much, just a self-sustained life full of peace and love and all that other "hippy" nonsense. What we are looking for really, is just a better Happier world for our kids. Don't you want the same? We've been at this for a few months, so some of this will be catch-up, don't get bored or bitchy, just try and keep up. Peace and Love Y'all

Food storage.....Oh My....

So Jordan and I have been prepping food for storing. We have been recycling the kids capri sun packets, we cut off the tops just under the straw hole and the Jordan washed the out and let them dry. Then we measured out 1/2 cup of rice and 1 beef or chicken bullion cube and place it in a pouch with an oxygen absorber, then we sealed then off with a hair straightener.
I have also been using a food dehydrator and dehydrating apples, pears and strawberries for fruit pouches.
The need to be blanched in a sugar water mixture made up of two cups of water and 2 cups of sugar. for about 15 minutes before putting in the food dehydrator. Then I left them in the food dehydrator for 16 hours now they will be put in to the packets as well along with an oxygen absorber.
We are putting these away for an emergency situation in our Bug Out Bags.
The kids have been making there own bug out bags. I am so proud of them, I think it is awesome that my kids have enough brains to try and stayed prepared for anything.
