Two years ago I started making my own pet food and I'm now totally addicted to doing so. Why? Well, to be self-reliant, of course, but here are my top 4 reasons that I suspect you might like as well--assuming you have a four-legged friend that's a member of your family.
Reason #1: I Never Want to Find Myself Without “Pet Food: My husband love, love, loves his “girls”. We’ve got 4 small canines and 1 feline with an overinflated ego and who thinks she’s also a dog. (She was nursed by a dog, so...

This recipe for biscuits will be the easiest you’ve ever made. With only 3 ingredients you won’t believe how much of a buttery powerful taste they will punch.
Just a hint, to keep your Bisquick from going rancid or tasting stale, put the entire bag of Bisquick in a ½ gallon Mason Jar, prick the bag in a couple of areas with a fine pin, and then extract the oxygen from the jar by using a FoodSaver with the wide mouth Mason jar attachment. Your Bisquick will last for years and years.
Yes, you...

Frequently when the term “emergency” is used, it is usually connected to a visit to the hospital. In the event of an earthquake, terrorist attack, or pandemic one can expect the hospitals to be taxed greater than 600% of what they are equipped to handle. Ironically, any time you have a situation in which there are more patients than a hospital is equipped to handle, you’re faced with a sub-crisis within your crisis. Today I wanted to give you some real numbers and some real facets to...

Essentials Anyone?
There’s a great deal that landed in our laps, Friends; and it’s a great opportunity to get your hands on essentials for a song. So I thought I’d better share it with you.
I finally get to use my corny line: “Your loss is my grain!” *cheesy grin* Normally I’d just tell you what the deal is and go to it, but I’ve been mentioning this on Facebook to folks and I keep getting the same type of questions. So I’m going to go ahead and answer all of the questions that I’ve been...

So to start off let me ask you a question. Do you have your rice?
I don’t know about you, but rice is one of my “must have” staples in my home. It is a part of the 350 pounds of grains I have per person for a year’s supply. I especially love the heartiness which my brown rice affords me. But there are some rough roads ahead in this regard due to the flooding which is going on in our heartland area.
I suspect that many of you assume that our rice was imported from Asian countries. But...

I actually think it’s quite comical that I’m writing about this particular topic. But hey, every aspect of self-reliance should be addressed at least once on here, right? So what the heck. Though the humor of this scenario comes from the fact that during the course of the last two radio shows I’ve shared some "controversial" information (particularly on Wednesday’s show about The Medical Lies). While I simply set a few misnomers straight on this morning’s show, I find it delightfully...

Salt, the base of society
Throughout the world’s history salt has been taxed exorbitantly, wars have been fought for control of salt, and it has been used as a medium of exchange EQUAL to gold. Dare we ignore something that so valuable it even overshadows the Texas oil industry? In fact, in desert areas all over the world, the people are well aware of it lifesaving value. In such environments, wars are likely to break out over salt mining rights just as easily as gold or oil.
Salt...

How long will your wheat last? What's the best way to store it? How do I keep insects out of it? What do I do when it smells like the can?
Today I was doing a training which involved going over the shelf life of various foods. One woman in attendance incorrectly stated to the entire class that “wheat goes bad easily because it has oil in it, and so it goes rancid if you’re not careful.”
I got to talking to my husband and asked him what other misinformation he may have heard about wheat....

If you’re like me, you’re an avid meat eater. I plan on having meat protein in at least one meal a day, even during an emergency. Rather than relying on my hunting skills or the availabilty of tasty game after a nuclear blast, a hurricane, or an earthquake, I’ve made sure to store chicken, turkey, SPAM, seafood, and beef. However, I got sick of paying $4 to $6 a pound real fast! I also didn’t really want to eat “jerky” for a whole year either. So I simply HAD to find out for myself...
