Boxes of Food

When storing your food remember you want to keep it clean and dry and sealed against bugs and critters. I bought a plastic container from walmart. It seems to do the job.

Sprouts

I have lettuce coming up in the garden, it's small but there looks like there is going to be a bunch of it. I cannot wait, I love fresh garden lettuce. There are also a few sunflowers coming up along with garlic and onions. I encourage all of you to plant a garden, get prepared. Practice growing your own food. Enjoy the labor of your hands.

Living off the land Edible mushrooms

While hiking out on the trail today I came across one little edible mushroom. Take time to study out which mushrooms you can eat and which ones you cannot. Fry them up and enjoy them. Get used to eating food from the land that the Almighty gave us.

What are you used to eating?

A part of getting prepared to survive to the end is what you are feeding your body. How will you handle it when you can't go through the drive-thru any more. Will you be dying for a big mac? You will not be alone. Start now to get rid of the easy costly way of life and get your body used to a new way of thinking. Eat rice in the morning instead of doughnuts from the bakery,make a pizza instead of ordering out and save yourselves an extra 30.00. It is hard to do but you need to start sometime. Why not now?

Take a hike

Start hiking about 3 times a week so you can get used to being on the move. You need to be in shape!
