Prepping With Food Allergies and Dietary Restrictions
I recognize that not everyone can (or will) eat anything. Most of us assume that a person will choose to eat whatever is put in front of them when they’re truly hungry.

I should hope that most of this information is common sense as a prepper, but it never hurts to go over again. In this video, they discuss best by dates, long-term food storage considerations, why commercial long-term foods aren’t the best choice, botulism (and why it’s not as much of a concern as most people…

How to Shower, Bathe, Drink, Potty, and More Without Running Water
The lady in the video below is right: we Americans just don’t realize how taken for granted water is in our modern society. If I remember correctly, the average American household uses a few hundred gallons of water daily. That may not sound like much, but that adds up to several thousand gallons of water…
