There are so many purchasing options for MRE (made ready to eat) and freeze dried food. From brick and mortar retailers to online websites, the options seem overwhelming! Which brand has the best price, which has the longest shelf life or the most important…which brand tastes the best? I’ve had a few companies come to […]
Water is so important. By important, I mean absolutely vital. You can have a basement full of food, have every single survival tool and supply that is on the market and if you don’t have water…you wouldn’t survive long enough to put any of it to use. Though a gruesome thought, they say you can […]
Yesterday someone needed to get in touch with my daughter and asked for her phone number. I didn’t have my phone on me at the time and frankly…I didn’t have it memorized. Thus ensued a conversation about whether or not we knew our most frequently dialed family and friends numbers. The answer was overwhelmingly no. […]
I recently was told of an approach to accumulating a 3 month food supply. I liked it. It was easy and everything that is on the list are things your family will eat, you’ll see why as I explain. I liked it more because it was something I already do on a regular basis just […]
First thing first, this is NOT a sponsored post. I saw this product at my local Cost Co a few years ago and was intrigued about it for a couple reasons. The biggest was the compact storage design. I was on my way out to a camping week with a bunch of teenage girls and […]

The only investment you have to make is the time to think it through, write it down and then to prepare your family. There are several components to planning and it can take some time to […]
Emergency Essentials in Bountiful Utah (should you live around the area) is moving and is doing a massive liquidation of their stock. It’s the new year and a perfect opportunity to stock up and save some money. Wanted to give everyone a heads up that could benefit from this SALE. Let those tax dollars allocated […]
With a new year upon us it’s a great time to start all those plans you’ve thought about a couple dozen times of starting your food storage and emergency preparedness planning. Though I love the holidays, I have to say, I love a good New Years celebration. It’s the feeling of newness that is contagious. […]
The other day I had a friend in my car and my husband called. The caller ID came up on the console and indicated that “ICE” was calling. She thought it must be some inside joke related to the movie “Top Gun” or pet name that I called him. The real story was that “ICE” […]
