do you plan to have the blog be interactive?

where we can come and post our recipes, tips and info to share with others?
I love reading what others have tried and their suggestions, often times it saves me the trials and errors!
Looking forward to reading the blog

would like to see discussions of region specific and/or seasonal needs for emergency supplies.

I am just now getting my food storage started. Teh new site is great!!!

I would be very helpful to hear some suggestions about food storage rotation. I am trying to have things in order, but find I don't actually know how to use it and rotate it :(
THANKS!!

For future subjects:
Storage of food and water— where??
Esp if limited space available, possibility that home may not be usable/accessable in some emergencies (earthquake country here!)

Review/comparison of the different grinders/mills you have

How to "rotate" without needing to empty out the storage each time

"other ingredients" in the canned items you have— could you list these on the information page about the individual items?

Hi. I love the new blog.

To your question about topics, here is my list:

1. Tips and techniques for preserving food (e.g., drying/dehydrating, canning, packaging)

2. "how to" articles — using a shortwave radio, using solar power to recharge batteries & run small appliances, setting up a tent, anchoring a tarp, etc.

3. lessons learned - tips from people who've used their emergency kits and learned from the experience (things that proved most useful, thing they wish they'd have incuded in the kit)

4. product reviews

5. anything to do with water purification & storage

6. bugging out versus staying in place

7. safety tips, first aid

8. challenges and quizes (every time I participate in one of these, I find out I'm not as smart as I thought :)

Thanks for the blog!

I would like a discussion on water storage and purification.

I am always interested in getting tips for rotating supplies, and anything that makes gardening easier.

maybe some good ideas on how to store our food storage in some kind of clever way? I mean for those who don't have a lot of extra space and have to either have it out in the open or get creative.

great blog, thanks!

"What preparedness topic or question would you like discussed on our blog in the coming months?"

I would like to see info on the best ways to store and purify water.

Ok..you guys are really "with it" doing a blog now… I love all your products and am thrilled there is a company like yours to help us all PREPARE!

Urban homesteading and preparedness

I would love for you to discuss emergency power options – generators (whole house vs. portable), solar power, batteries, etc. And then figure out the best options so I know what to buy!

I would love to see an entry on gardening and canning.

I would love a discussion on how to cook on the many different outdoor camp stoves and over a campfire. It would be great to also know if you can cook yeast breads and how to do them on a campfire or camp stove. How to make a camp oven would be great also. Winter survival would be another great discussion. How to keep warm and dry in extreme cold and harsh weather is always a concern.

Excited about this new site. I will share it will all my friends who order your products. Thanks!!

bookmarking it right now :)

I'd like to see a discussion/article on natural cures when medical services are not available. I have three small children ages 4 and under and want to feel prepared for things like ear infections, sore throats, etc. when emergency services may not be feasible. I LOVE your products and prices are great. Thanks!

Urban homesteading and preparedness

I would like to know how to store our food in the south where it is hot and humid and no basements.

I would love to hear about how to creatively use the food storage items that don't last long (powdered milk, potato pearls, etc). These are items that I don't usually like to use in normal situations, but don't want to waste.

Love it! We love Emergency Essentials!

I would be interested in learning about food storage taking into consideration a mperson with type 1 diabetes is involved.

I'd like to read about how often you should rotate water supplies. I was thinking about having four 6 gallon containers and rotating one out every quarter. Would that be acceptable and minimize bacterial growth? Or would I need to rotate them more often? I'm trying to minimize "management" of emergency supplies without having to increase the effort if we ever have to use them.

I would like to see some people share recipes for cooking with a Solar Oven.

I would like to see a comprehensive plan for food storage that includes MRE's, Dehydrated and or Nitrogen packed foods as well as complimentary items from the local grocery, farm market, etc. So many sites only talk about what they sell and assume that money is no object. Present a plan for those on a tight budget. A "Follow this plan and in 6 months your family WILL BE PREPARED". Help people with an order plan for each month. Perhaps break down what a family should have by $100 amounts. If you can afford $200 a month, you'll be ready in 6 months. If you can only afford $100 a month it will take a year, but at least you can get started rather than waiting and hoping you will somehow come up with money to buy all at once.

I'd like to know an easy way to get started on preparedness for those who are EXTRA busy and feel they don't have to time to focus on preparedness and have a REALLY tight budget.

I don’t suppose I have a chance to win but there is always a hope. I have a similar kit and was considering buying another so if I could win one would be great.
I read what was said abut the mill and a person at the Nevada Tea Party mentioned a very interesting item to me. Now this probably wouldn’t be approved of by the company; “In the event of extreme emergency a mill could even be used on bird seed and cracked corn.” This started me thinking so a mill will be on my future wish lists.

Ideas For Self Sufficient Living During Financially Turbulent Times http://ronmauer.net/blog/. This blog is about simple, local solutions to the problems we may face as the economic collapse continues. Food, tiny houses, composting toilets, water purification and storage, and more are discussed.

Hooray! Love the new blog and the chance to win a 3-day kit. We are a young family and just getting started with our preparedness. We've started grinding our own grains for baking and just started a garden this year too. Every little bit helps! Thanks!

Thanks for putting so much important information together. We have a newborn and being prepared has taken on new meaning for us. This website is going to be a great resource!

Thanks for all the information you provide. What are your recommendations for a good hand grain mill? Will you be carrying some of the "other" grains — amaranth, quinoa, etc?

great job on the site!

I am excited to be better prepared and would love to learn how to utilize my garden produce so it will last throughout the year ie. how do I can it or freeze it so it doesn't get freezer burn?

Love your site and information! Thanks for chance to win!

I would like to see topic on whole grain usage. What can I use it for and how do I go about using it?

Good site idea. Would love to read about all aspects of food, water & other material storage and use and how each segment supports the other. Emergency preparation must include all possible types of support to get an individual or group through the event.

I would like tips & info on how to store food when you have a limited budget, on how much to store for each person, and recipes for the foods that you store. Love your products just wish I could buy more!!

I love Emergency Essentials and think this new site will be a terrific help for everyone working on preparedness.I would like to see information on storing my homegrown produce and how to make weight-managable 72 hour kits.

I'd like some ideas on how to deal with waste disposal during an emergency situation that might last a month or more, with a plan for waste from humans, animals and what we presently take to the curb.

Thanks,

I would love to have a discussion about saving rain water or storing water for drinking. Also freezing meals for quick eating.

How about a simple way to keep track of your food storage for unorganized people? When you ordered, what you have, what's opened, how long before the opened items go bad, what's gone & needs to be reordered, what you did not like & do not want to ever reorder…all at a glance :-)

I would like more information on preserving water in the big blue storage containers in a hot area (such as Vegas)

I would like to see ideas about how to increase our preparedness despite tighter budgets.

I would love a discussion on how best to store food and other emergency essentials in small homes and/or for large families.
