I would love more information on water storage, containers that are safe to use, best ways to store it, purification options, etc…

This site is wonderful thank you!

I am really grateful for your website and all of the information and supplies that you offer. Adding the blog is such a bonus. Thanks for all that you do.

I would like to see discussion on how to prepare the family (especially children) for emergencies.

Love the new blog. I've already learned some important information. I plan to link to it from my blog soon.
Thanks for what you are doing to help us get prepared.

Please comment on the best emergency means of cooking meals if we have no electricity or gas available.

Thanks.

We always wonder about the shelf-life of the things we have stored. We always try to "date and rotate" but it would be nice to know when it's getting to the point of "use it or lose it". A brief article about longevity would be nice.

Outdoor cooking in situations with no utilities, i.e. dutch oven, campfire, solar, etc.

Thank you for helping my family to "be prepared." This blog is a great resource.

It looks like I have a new favorite place to go to on the internet!

I love your products. I would like to see some long term storage strategies aimed at folks that can't build a root cellar.

I would like to see a discussion on how to involve kids in the preparation process so they will not be as scared if an event occurs.

I would be very interested in seeing some discussion and recipes about how to incorporate my food storage in my family's daily food consumption. In particular, I would love to see some recipes that use the freeze dried foods (especially the meats) as this looks like a good item to add to my food storage. I'm just not sure how I would use it, so I would love some ideas.

I love your website and products. As a group leader, I would like to see ideas on helping beginners get started with emergency preparedness and storage.

I would like more information on preservation of fresh food, canning and freezing. Also, ideas on using your dehydrated products like tomato powder, butter powder, peanut butter powder and shortening.

Keep up the good work.

I would like to see a discussion on preparing children for a possible evacuation – how they can prepare, set up their own kits and how to take some of the fear out of the whole evacuation event for the kids.

Preparing meals from your food storage (recipes) including a conversion reference guide.

I would love to learn more about different ovens and baking methods that are out there to use in an emergency. I would also love recipes for things we have in food storage. Thanks for all of the help!

I would like to read/learn more about gardening and also proper water purification.

I love your blog and your store. Just wish I had the funds to order more often. I would like more info on water and seed collection and storage. Also the idea of hunting and preparing small animals for food would be helpful

I would like to see information about what items are helpful for a child's emergency kit.

And I'd like to hear from people who have had to grab and go and what they wish they had had with them.

Thanks for all the great info you already have! I'm grateful!

I would like to see more recipes that use dehydrated food storage that could be used everyday.

Great site! Thanks for all you are doing to help me and my family get more prepared!

If you can do some preview on halal MREs will be great.

In response to Janice's Comment: "Since we live in Arizona, we find it difficult to find storage places that are cool enough for proper storage. How can we keep our storage cool in hot climates? Most homes have no basements."

Why not store underground? Build a root cellar. Probably on line there are instructions. Do a web search to find them.

Great idea (the blog).

I would like to see recipes for using Hard Red Wheat. I already have a wheat grinder, but need help creating food items from the flour.

Thanks

I would like information on growing my year's supply of food storage and how to store all types of food.

I'm just starting so any information would be GREAT!!

We've begun our personal plan for emergency preparedness by purchasing a 3 day emergency kit plus a few extra items. By dividing all the items between two backpacks and our two cars, we are both prepared no matter who is where. When we travel together, both packs go in that car.

In addition, we are finalizing a longer list of items we need for long-term self-sufficiency. We will obtain those items, little by little as we have funds available.

Looks great. Any info on water siphons would be wonderful
Thank you

I would like to see how using your food storage isn't just for emergencies but for other little changes in your life. Right now I am using mine because we are moving and we now have the finances available to stock up again after we arrive at our new home.

In response to Lisa B.'s Comment of: "How can you prepare when you're living on a food shelf/food stamp existence? Our family of 5 have no savings, owe tons of money to the IRS and student loans, and have a very small income."

Hi Lisa and All,

Because I have read so much in the Internet groups about government and politics I am convinced that there is a plot to starve as many U.S. people as possible. The economy is collapsing. Hyper-inflation is about to set in, meaning that the prices will go very high, like 10 times or more higher.

Food is most important. Why not stop paying on the student loan and use that money to buy food?

From BePrepared.com I bought some whole grains and beans, the ones that were lower cost when I ordered. I notice some are on sale now.

Locally I shop the grocery stores and dollar stores, for foods that are on sale like 50 cents for canned foods, or spaghetti and sauce at one dollar each. Check the grocery store ads, most of them have websites where you can check for what is on good sales.

I would like you to publish recipes for using Hard Red Wheat.
Thank You

Great Idea (the blog)

I am interested in learning some recipes to use with my food storage.

I would like to know more about how to store some of what comes out of my garden. This is my first year gardening, and haven't been around any that I can ever remember.

I'd like more info in how to use emergency food so it doesn't go unused and get wasted.

I'd love lists that are on beginner levels, moderate, advanced. What I mean is that it would be nice to have lists that get you started and once you've passed that point, go on to the next level. Getting prepared can be so overwhelming that I think it stops people from trying.

I would also love a place where people can leave reviews about what products have worked well for them and what hasn't.

I look forward to learning from this site.

Great site! I appreciate the links to sources. I'd like to see articles on how America dealt with pandemics of the past – what worked and what didn't.

I would like to read about freeze dried vs mre foods for emergency prep.

I would like to see more information on keeping 72 hour kits updated.

Thanks for the great blogspot. I'd love to see more information on sanitation during an emergency and more on pet preparedness. Thanks!

I highly recommend this companies storage foods – I use many of them on a daily basis! Always have a can of their strawberries by my computer – and munch on them for snacks.

Thanks so much for setting up this blog. I don't feel alone anymore!

I would like to learn what to do with all of those vegetables I am growing this summer…. as in canning.

I would like to learn more about water storage and rotation.

Great new blogspot. I would like to get more info. on sanitation during an emergency and also pet preparedness. Thanks
