An inside look at what all preppers say they never want to be caught without…

According to a recent Forbes headline, ‘Cyberattacks Against the US Here to Stay’. In just the last few weeks we've seen a petroleum pipeline shutdown cause gas lines and a shutdown of one of the few meat processing plants. It appears that it's not over yet.

While I never like panic responses, I do think that it's wise to be prepared. Especially, when we're likely to see more of the same. One way to be prepared is to have an inventory of needed items.

For instance, who doesn't remember last year when we had the brief toilet paper shortage. It was no big deal in my house. We always try to have extra essentials on hand. We stock up when the item is on sale so we don't end up making special trips to the store because we ran out. I didn't anticipate the shortage, but the inventory made it a non-event.

Given the possibility (probability?) of more hacks on essential services, it's a good idea to stock up on some essentials. To make sure you could ride out a week or two without buying whatever is in short supply.

Of course, we've always been a fan of stocking up when prices are cheap. How a Full Pantry Saves You Money explains…

I’ll give you an inside look at what all preppers say they never want to be caught without.

#1: Food Supply of 2 Weeks
Note that this is per person, not for the entire house! The best way to store 2 weeks of food is by using Freeze Dried baggies stored in water-proof buckets. Here’s my personal favorite.

I recommended Valley Food Storage Meals or 4Patriots as they can last up to 25 years. Their ingredients are also real and I know exactly what I’m eating. Now that’s a smart investment if I’ve ever heard one!

#2: Water Supply of 3 Days
Individuals need at least 3 gallons of water stored for survival needs including drinking and sanitation.

#3: First Aid Kit
Okay, this one is hopefully a no-brainer. Find a first aid kit full of bandages, aspirin, tweezers, and more.

#4: Flash Light, Radio/TV, and Batteries
Even with cell phones, it is still recommended to have a traditional flashlight and a radio with enough backup batteries.

Food preservation is one of the most important skills you can have. It helps you save money and eat more healthy local food. You can also use it to stock up on food for emergencies, survival scenarios, or just hard times.

If you’ve decided to preserve your own food, you might be having trouble deciding which methods to use. Before we get into specific methods, let's talk about the benefits of dehydrating food.

Dehydration is actually one of the oldest methods of food preservation. It was used by many different cultures as a way to put up their harvest long before canning jars or freezers were even invented. Today it remains one of the best methods, and for several reasons...

SIDEBAR

This weekend we installed our 3rd hot water tank at our cabin. We had a Rheems brand for the first two time and neither one lasted four years...this time we're trying something different-a waterless heater which is smaller [opened up a ton of closet space] and according to reviews, it will save up to 60% on its utility charges.
