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

Thanks for all the good services you provide! I would like to see a general discussion of "what life might be like" in various emergency situations. Knowing what might not be available, and what is impacted by it's loss, helps to think about what you would need to do to survive. For example, being able to stay in my house without all of it's comforts and conveniences is a whole lot different than having to throw something in the car and take off for some other place. If I have to leave, then all of my food storage and rotation skills might not help much.

I would like to see how others have held a "pack night" or other event to help their wards prepare.
Thanks,
Karen

Great blog! I' like ideas on how to keep an updated inventory of our food storage and also recipes using your products.

Love the blog! I would like to see information on gardening, and on cooking with dehydrated foods. Thanks!

I really love the freeze dried fruits, they come in handy when you are out and away from home longer than planned.

I would like to see a discussion on assembling your own kit using components available on your site.

I would like to see a comparison of all the water long term storage additives on the market and if any of them are actually any good.

Thanks,
Jon

We've had a couple of questions about RSS Feeds. We do have a section on the bottom of the left column of the blog that lets you subscribe to our Posts or Comments via Google, Yahoo, etc. Hope that helps.

Hi, Dave from Iowa here.
I've been 'preparing' since '06 when I was educating myself on birdflu. I have it easy as I am single with no kids.
I'll snag a button formy blog, EE is a great place to shop!

I need a lot of help in the dtorage and preservation of bulk grains and similar items. Any help will be taken with joy.

I would like to have some information on preparedness for people with special needs..ie. Diabetics, women who are pregnant, babies,or people who have allergies to certain foods. Hope to hear from you soon!

I'm so happy you have finally created a blog. I'm certain it will be a wonderful resource and showcase of your products. I love Emergency Essentials – it's one of my favorite online shopping sources.

This is a great idea. Thank you! I'd like to know if it's possible to can dried fruits, vegetables, jerky, etc.

I love the new site. I am especially excited about trying some of the recipes.

I would love some more info about food storage for families with young children; how much do they really need; what things work better for picky eaters; what things would be easier to prepare; etc. Thanks!

It is an excellent idea for people to be able to talk about emergency preparedness. In Houston, where I live, we deal with possible hurricanes every summer and it is always a rude awakening to have to rush around to get ready for one of these things. Thanks for a having a place to go to discuss preparedness.

WE love the sour cream Powder we add it to mashed potatos and dips the kids go nuts for the cheese blend they add it to everything they can pour it on eggs veggies dips burgers I cannot wait til I am able to order from you again

I am very excited for this blog! Thanks for the site.

Could you possibly write an article or blog about balancing store-bought foods with storage foods and supplementing with home-garden food?

I would appreciate more information for city dwellers with limited storage space.
How much and what kind of food- how much water?

I also need a guide to stocking medications and first aid supplies as it relates to emergency preparedness and infection control.

You have the most valuable web site on the internet. Thank you!

I love the new blog site. I've; purchased, used, and recommended, the Garden seeds in a can to all my friends they're great!

I look at a lot of preparedness sites on a daily basis for new information. One thing I am always on the look out for is recognizing and using local plants and flowers for foods and medicinal purposes. I hope you enetertain the idea of including references to them as well in your new blog site.

Thank you for all that you have supplied in the past.

Nick

I would like to know about how to purify water and food storage recipes.

Erika

Would love to know how to use the tomato powder in recipes other than soups or stews.

I am very interested in vegan food storage. Emergency Essentials has been quite helpful with fruits and vegetables and I would love some tips from others concerning vegan substitutes which would store well and which may be available in the # 10 cans. Soy isn't on my list, but all else vegan is.

Please consider a discussion on large volume water storage in an outside environment. When the"Big One" does hit in California, the water system will go and not be repaired for a long while.

Thanks!

We started food storage in 1999 for Y2K and a lot of our storage spoiled, as we didn't use it. Some of the Items that came with the packages we would never use and it would be great to be able to change the items for some that we would use. (Of course keeping in mind that there is price difference & would pay the difference.)

Great Site to pick brains and get heads up on what is happening.

Is there any way to lower the costs of freeze dried foods?

This is great! I prefer the blog as now I can access various preparedness topics in one place. Thanks!

Please address how much food is necessary to store for one year for one person.

I would appreciate more preparedness basics for city dwellers with limited storage space.

How much water? What kind and how much food?

I would also like a guide on what medications and first aid supplies to stock as it relates to infection control issues.

In my opinion, your website if the most important one on the internet. Thank you!

I would love some REALLY easy recipies that are easy to store. Two or three ingredients(like spaghetti, etc.) that are cheap, quick and easy to make!

Jenifer

I hope I win.

I love your products. Each month I get something to add to our food storage. This new site you have is terrific. It is a great learning tool.

Oh, and I would like to see you talk about camping stuff, and how it relates to emergency preparedness.

I'd love to see an article discussing different grain mills/wheat grinders — why one and not some other.

I think I saw this topic already covered, but I would also like to see posts on preparing on a tight budget. Thanks!

Hey, let's see if I win!! I win everything!!!

I will definitely be following this blog now. I'm sure it will help me a lot in my preparedness.

Lisa

I would like to read about short term food supply and long term food supply. What to concentrate on in each one. Paula

Great web site guys! I am a newbie to the food storage arena so this blog will be an great source of information. Thanks

I live in a very hot climate, and our condo's garage is on the other side of the complex. I'd like to see topics about storage in small spaces/and or extreme conditions. Thanks for the offer!

I would REALLY LOVE an emergency kit. I was just called as the emergency preparedness specialist in my ward and I don't even have a 72 hour kit for myself. It would be great to win this and use it as an example.

I would love to see information or articles about children and adults with food allergies, and how to keep your food storage/emergency preparedness safe for them.
Great Site!

… congratulations on your new site … my husband and I have moved from Utah to Maryland to take care of my 90 year old mother … I would like to know the square footage of a sufficient storage area for four adults for one year (I know it's repetitive) … we are surrounded by non-member relatives and neighbors, so do you have handouts that would draw interest to having their own storage area?

Always glad to see a new preparedness resource for us Stake Leaders. Keep up the great work!

This is great, how about covering things like canning for those who are inept, and other basic concepts

Please post recipes for spice mixes and sauces to spruce up the rice, pasta, etc. in my year supply (homemade versions of Rice-A-Roni, Pasta-Roni, Hamburger Helper, etc.) This will help with the rotation of rice, pasta, spices, etc. in my year supply. Thank you.
