Cooking Without Power

 Having a way to cook when the power goes out is important.  Here is a list of different kinds of cooking apparatus'.  Decide which one(s) will work best for your family and then learn how to use them.  Figuring them out during an emergency is not the best idea.  Why add stress to an already uncomfortable situation.

FOOD STORAGE

 "Spring Cleaning" can include your Food Storage and Emergency Supplies. If you have some or a lot, take or update an inventory of your items to determine what you need to add, replace or no longer suits your needs. Inventory Logs are available here on the Blog.  If you are just starting and need help with what to gather and store, Here is an  Article  that talks about the essentials of getting started. And here is a list of minimum food storage quantities per person per year. Don't forget that you will also need to gather and store water, supplies to prepare your food storage, heat foods and water, fuel for stoves etc. shelter, toiletry items etc.  It can be overwhelming for sure.  Start small, stay on a budget and keep a list of what items you have stored, so that it will be easier to rotate items and add as you are able.
