I do believe we're going to see much more on self-sufficiency in the next year or so.

Great site, alyscat.

Here's a handy gadget that can extend storage life when drying or refrigerating food.

This is an inexpensive manual version of the Tilia Food Saver and similar products. Probably not as easy to use but the price is right. I just received mine an hour ago and have yet to try it. Would like to hear from anyone who has used it . You can watch the video on the website.

And for Canadians reading this post:

www.costco.ca offer MRE's, one week's supply per unit with heaters included. Located in the fine foods category. Free shipping whereas ordering from the U.S. would mean a hefty shipping fee. The box is quite heavy.

There will also be information in the library on these topics. Thanks for the information to be passed along.
