The most glaring one is probably a water filter--I have water in storage, but need to have a way to purify water that I would need when that storage runs out. Hydrogen peroxide would also be an excellent addition...<br />I don't know where you are located, but I'm sure that if you sent something like this comment to your state/national prepper network, they would be happy to post it as a post. It really is full of important information--thanks for taking the time to put it in this comment, and I hope a lot of people see it!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264276199843769399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-82462981252789263142009-05-02T09:22:00.000-06:002009-05-02T09:22:00.000-06:00I have seen hundreds of food storages. I have help...I have seen hundreds of food storages. I have helped organize & consult on what to have <br />included in your food storage. I share the ideas that I have accumulated over the years.<br /><br />Along with your wheat, beans & rice, your canned foods etc. Some even have MRE's & freeze <br />dried items. Whatever it is you have in your food storage, I just want to give you a few <br />ideas & suggestions. I am also open for suggestions, after 17 years, I still come across<br />great ideas.<br /><br />First, make sure you have a good variety of spices. You can eat the same beans or rice a <br />lot easier when one day they taste like taco spices & the next day curry etc. A variety of<br />spices will make anything easier to eat long term. I personally have many bottles of<br />tobasco. I can eat bugs with tobasco, crickets, worms etc. I am serious.<br /><br />In many emergencies clean water is a big problem. You will go through hundreds of gallons<br />of water in just a few short weeks. Make sure you have a good water filter with your food<br />storage. You use a lot of water to cook with & drink. A water filter that you hand pump will<br />turn rain water, canal water or saved water from cooking etc. into good drinking water again.<br /><br />Have some good vitamins. Make sure they are good natural vitamins that your body will<br />digest & absorb. 90% of vitamins pass through you & end up clogging the sewers. True.<br />I came across Lifecaps, that is what I have in my food storage, 72 hour kits & bug out bags.<br />They digest & get in your system within 20-25 minutes. All natural.<br />You can survive on lifecaps & water alone for months. They have all the vitamins & minerals,<br />also iodine & a little natural sugar to keep your blood sugar level stable. I bought 25<br />bottles before I found a coupon code & then bought 75 more bottles. The coupon code is<br />"healthcap" (save 33%) & you can find out more at lifecaps.net.<br /><br />Keep hand sterilizer with your food storage & hydrogen peroxide. In an emergency people get<br />sick & die from simple infections. In an emergency, you lose your appetite & forget to drink <br />water, under stress. Your immune system suffers tremendously & small infections grow large.<br />Under stress TAKE YOUR VITAMINS & DRINK WATER! You will have more energy to deal with the<br />emergency & have a healthy immune system. Keep your hands clean when dealing with food &<br />use the hydrogen peroxide even on small cuts as a precaution. It can save your life.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988362716326167702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-76618183836016829892009-04-18T10:37:00.000-06:002009-04-18T10:37:00.000-06:00HSJacobus--Kinda scary to me how much food product...HSJacobus--Kinda scary to me how much food production is going down...thanks for your comment!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264276199843769399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-7742338471160975682009-04-17T13:18:00.000-06:002009-04-17T13:18:00.000-06:007% doesn't sound like much but it is.
