The Food Supply – Emergency Plan

We are all trying to save a little cash as we're going through this survival preparedness

journey together So here are some ideas to save money on your emergency plan:

 

Number one - silica gel packets that you find inside the food supply or vitamins, sneakers they are everywhere. Basically a silica gel is a moisture absorbs. It's also a very pours substance that helps it too absorb moisture. This makes it very good for food and supplies dry storage. Be sure to save these silica gel packs they will absorb up to forty percent of their own weight when you get enough of them, lay them out on a cookie sheet put them in the oven at about two hundred twenty degrees for about two hours and that will dry them out to be used again in the food supply.

You can use the silica gel pack in combination with some food and supplies already on hand items that you may have. Let's say you don't have enough cash to go out and buy

the zip-lock mylar bags take a look and see if any of the food and supplies you bought from the grocery store uses mylar zip-lock bags, wash and clean them really well and air dry before next use in the food supply.

let's say for example I want to store some Swiss miss coco, the food supply is already in its own tin foil packaging but it's not as good as I would like to have it so I am putting it into the other mylar bag and  popping in some of those silica gel packet that will help reduce the moisture greatly extend the life of the food supply.

(Remember - silica gel pack is not the same thing as a oxygen absorber oxygen absorber remove oxygen - silica gel pack removes moisture.)

Number two - take a look in your emergency plan prepper garden and if you have one take a look in your local community garden to see what is growing out there. I happen to grow a rosemary bush as well as used for cooking so what I do is I dry the rosemary I use a dehydrator but you can actually sun-dried or just cure dry them, I took off all the little rosemary's leaves now all I have is the stems these are still extremely fragrant with rosemary essential oils and I can place these inside my prepping root cellar near the baseboards or in your cupboard to repel insects.
