Leave a Comment & Be Entered to Win a "3-day Emergency Kit!"

This is a most necessary site considering what may lie ahead in our future. Different lessons may be the way to go, starting with basic food storage. Then you can progress to more lessons covering water purification, gardening, storing seeds, canning, field dressing game and cooking it, how to live without electricity, How to live off the land. Thankyou again for this site.

I would like to see a discussion on shelf life of various food storage items.

I free kit would be nice. I've been wanting to check your kits out but haven't had the dough.

Discuss electronic preservation of important documents and pictures. How to document property and other items for possible insurance claims.

I would love to see more grain recipes – especially spelt. I bought dozens of grain cookbooks and there's just not a whole lot out there besides wheat & bread recipes. There's got to be more to grains. (And I've got over 40lbs of it so I really should do something with it!)

Love the new site. I would love to see recipes using dehydrated foods.

I believe the blog site is going to have a wealth of information that everyone can use. Since we live where it snows in the winter and is very cold and summers can have many days above 90m degrees, would love to read about food needs and planning for people that must deal with those temperature extremes. Hopefully this will include the nutritional needs due to the different weather effects on the body.

Thanks!

I would love to learn some more information about safely using kerosine as an emergency source (cooking, heating, light, etc.) We've thought of using this if power was out for a very extended period of time, but we're not sure what all goes into it (ventilation, etc.)

thanks!

I would like to read more about safe water storage. I gather it doesn't keep well in the soft plastic bottles in which it is usually sold. Would glass be better? And how long is it safe to keep?

I love your products, tips and new blog! I would love to see more information on storing and preserving garden seeds. I think in this day in age with crime on the increase, it would be helpful to learn more about protecting ourselves in our home and vehicles against possible intruders.

I'd love to see a purchasing plan that suggests items to purchase each month over a period of two or three years that would eventually give one a complete 1 year supply of a variety of essential items along with extras.
Thanks,
Valarie

wow, this is great! I like the idea of having some place to go to learn how others use the products, what they like, and recipes. My suggestion would be how to use the products in everyday menu planning that would truly be using the rotation system. Thanks for everything. Linda

In regards to important documents, we have fireproof safe. In this we keep notebooks of everything that might need to be grabbed at a moments notice.
Hope this helps others when thinking about documents.

Hi! This is a great and useful addition to survival info on the web. I go to the web site every day and subscribe to yoyur newsletter. I'd like to see if there is a way that customers could purchase a group of items for, say $300 to $600 and pay for it over several months? I believ ther are a lot of us who are in that position due to the extreme economic conditions.
Thanks so much,
BenLyn

I would like to see more info on properly storing fats/oils. Thanks

I'd like to see a plan for purchasing a little something every month so that after a year, we have a good variety of preparedness items. After two years an even better variety and a good start on a years supply of the most essential items. This plan could stretch out for several years, but when finished, we have everything we need.

I would like to see more info on how to properly store fats/oils. And I love this idea!!

I used the supplies on your site to create 2 sets of 2 emergency 72 hour kits for my parents for Christmas. They now have a set each in both vehicles for when they travel for doctor appointments. They love the hand crank flashlight/ cell phone charger. Now other family members want kits for Christmas too. They are a hit and can be used by everyone.

My wife and I have just started to prepare for "things" over the past six months. We would love to hear more about food preparation and storage (canning, dehydration, etc.). We're just trying to think about life in simpler times as we see that we could be thrown back into the 19th century lifestyle pretty easily. Thanks for your site! Blessings!

I live in an apartment, with limited storage space. I'd be very interested in a discussion of storage ideas.

Yea! This should be helpful.

Do you have Quinoa? I heard it is the oldest and best grain to have for highest nutritional levels….and recipes using it? Also, more about collecting rain water for gardens etc. Square Foot Gardening has some very nice ones but costly. New blog is the GREATEST….Thanks for giving us a voice.

I would like recipe discussions on using only long term storage foods.
Possibly discussion on greenhouses for singles or small families, along with growing techniques.

Thank you for this awesome blog!
I would love to hear about all the things you need to think about when you need to evacuate, instead of staying at home, where all your supplies are.

Thanks!

I would love to see a discussion of winter survival preparedness and how to obtain water when no immediate water source is available.

I would love to hear about how realistic the need is to store things like potassium iodide tablets for the whole family, gas masks, etc. When does preparedness turn into paranioa???

Thanks for all the new information. I hope to see it continue to grow in education of the many uses of your products. Kalvin

i would also love to read about a grain mill. i have linked to the blog as well.

I would like to see information on sourdough, using that for leavening if/when usual yeast is not available…
How many products can one make from a sourdough starter? Besides "sourdough bread", I mean… can you make pancakes and biscuits and pizza/pita/tortilla dough & other bready foodstuffs from a basic sourdough starter?
Isit enough leavening to support one's freshly-milled whole wheat?

LOVE the blog! I would love to see a discussion on Fuel storage—meaning diesel and gasoline such as best prices on fuel storage containers and what conditions to store them under.

I would love to read about how to use the freeze dried fruits and vegetables in being prepared. So far I have ordered bacon, tomato powder, corn, peanut butter powder, spinach (which I love) bell green peppers etc.

Thank you for having great products

Great website- great idea. Keep up the good work. I will check it daily!

I would love to get more info on water purification and gardening.

great new site, look forward to learning more on cooking with food storage and better ideas for keeping track of rotation

Sooo excited that you now have a blog!! I just added it to my blog reader in google!!

BE PREPARED!!! REMEMBER…IT WASN'T RAINING WHEN NOAH BUILT THE ARK!!! :)

I can't wait to follow the blog. I am interested in recipes that utilize food storage.

Thank you for setting up this blog.
It is wonderful just to know there are other people out there, with the common sense to be prepared. So many people do not realize the concept of being responsible for your self and your family should include a preparedness pantry. No one knows what the future holds, so it only is logical to be ready for the hard times, so you can, with peace of mind enjoy the good times.

Small sample cans of your freeze dried foods such as chicken and ham. I do a lot of hiking but am hesitant to spend upwards of $40.00 to find out whether or not it is to my liking.

How apporpriate that a site that offers the best in emergency preps would have a blog with info on how to prep! Looking forward to a great exchange of Q & A's.

I would like to see an article on a couple things. One would be preparation of meals using only LTS foods along with items that can be grown anywhere. I'd also like to see a discussion of entertainment for the family/children beyond the standard boxed games/cards in a bunkered down situation.
Thanks for continued updates to your site!

i would like to see food storage info discussed.thanks .V

I would like to learn to use all the wheat and dried beans in daily eating and not just for bean soup and whole wheat bread.

very nice site.
Enjoy Emergency Essentials and appreciate your products. Consistent quality – always

Great site! We would love more information on using and maintaining rain barrels for water storage.

I would love tips on water purification and if storing water in home containers (ie soda bottles, juice bottles etc) is safe.
Thanks- love the blog!

Love the blog! I would like to see information on shelf life of different products, emergency preparedness for pets, how to procure extra medications for emergency situations, and how to store in a VERY limitted space,

I live in Maine, in the past two weeks we have had 2 confirmed tornados in northern maine.(we don't normally get this kind of weather up here this time of year) I would love to hear about people successfully useing preparedness supplies to get through real life emergencies floods, hurricanes, tornados,etc.

I would like info on inexpensive ways to be prepared. We don't have a lot of extra cash to spend on extras.
