I would love to discuss how to preserve dry goods in buckets and the best place to store them.

What a fabulous idea! Love, love, love it!

I'd really love to see ideas/information on integrating food storage into daily cooking, including recipes.

I would like more detailed information how to properly use our 72 hr kit because it is important we know how to use each item and what to do if something doesn't work or is lost. It is not enough to just have a kit available. thanks

I would love to see a discussion on receipes for diabetics and water usage in long term disasters.

I am always worrying about how to prepare for emergencies with little children. They are always changing as to their needs, especially babies and toddlers that I feel like I can't keep up.

A Discussion about the proper storage of various foods would be awesom.
Topics could be broken down to include length of storage for various foods, various ways to store (on shelf, in buckets, hermetically sealed, vacuum packaging etc), best places to store, how to deal with high temps etc.

I would like to see a discussion and recipes on what to do with beans and other legumes! I bought several different kinds and now need to learn how to cook with them!

Thanks,
Christine

I am excited about this new site. I would love to have discussions on recipes with the canned food that is sold. I have a bunch, but don't know how to use it!

This blog is a great idea. I'd love to see one item featured each week or month. Then people who have used it can post how they use that item and perhaps recipes.

This is great! A place where people can come and share ideas on emergency preparedness with a company that will LISTEN!

Our food storage and emergency preparedness items are in our basement. I worry about an earthquake and not being able to get to anything. I would like someone to address other solutions.
What do other people do that don't have basements and should we not use it as a storage place? Thanks for this great site. Molly Utah

You always have great prices. I am looking forward to the new blog!

Recently I started to make my own yogurt and I use reconstitued EE's powdered milk to make it. I remembered I had bought some EE dehydrated raspberries and before serving I use 2 Tbls. rasperberries in each cup serving, wait 15 mintues and serve. I do not rehydrate them as there is enough moisture in the yogurt to do the job before eating.

I need help figuring out what to do in an urban environment.. I am originally from Texas and knew how to live off the land…now I am in a small apartment in the shadow of NYC. We do not have access to the back yard and the only plants I have are in pots in the windows…I also have a little boy who loves to pull the "flowers" out of the soil and use the dirt for his trains. We have very little storage place and need to be as compact as possible. I would love to move but can't afford to….any ideas?

Last year for the first time we had a hurricane come all the way up to us in east TX. We already have tornados, so being prepared is becoming second nature to us.

I love this! It's nice to see all the tips and advice on how to use storage!

I would like to see info on sprouting, cleanliness in emergency situations (like what to do with the contents of a portable toilet!), and how to transport several 72 hour kits when you're the only grown up available.

I just purchased 2 55 gallon blue water barrels from you, to put in my basement storage room. I would love some information on how to keep the water pure, how frequently I need to change the water, and any special tricks, tips, or tools you know of to make it easy to store and use the water.

I would love to see more recipes using the dehydrated products and whole grains that we purchase from your website. Also info about water purification. Thanks so much for all your info and helping us to prepare for whatever comes our way!! We sure appreciate it!!

I would like to see more about document protection.

I too would like to hear more about grains, particularly what the difference is between the different types of grains, storage life, baking preparation, and taste.

Love the site! I would like to know more about water storage and grain mills. Thank you!

Thanks for doing this!!

I am interested in learning how to effectively store water.

Thanks!!

I always love ideas about incorporating food storage items into everyday cooking. Both for practicality and rotation purposes.

Thank you for helping to encourage people to "get prepared." I come in from out of town to purchase items from you when I was compiling "72-hour kits" for my children and grandchildren. We displayed the kits at an emergency preparedness fair which we held in our Stake in April. Our neighbors came and commented to me that they had never heard of 72-hour kits and were very interested in getting one. I'll direct them to your website.

I am so excited about this new blog and since my family has been preparing out 72 hour kits I would love to learn more about water storage and purification and also about 72 hour kit ideas for children and infants.

I would like to know about desert survival tactics. I just moved to AZ! Also, how to store food in high temps.

I wrote a preparedness book entitled Just In Case: How To Be Self Sufficient When The Unexpected Happens. So many of the items I suggest people use are things I purchased from Emergency Essentials. I would love to see a post about suggested reading materials for the prepared library.

I have been looking for a site like this.. Its been added to my favorites and i will tell all my friends.
Thanks

I love recipes. I'd like to see some recipes to use with my emergency food items. I'd also like to see some ideas for 72-hour kit add-ins…I have the basics of food, water and first aid…what else?

Great Blog! I would like to see some discussion on preparation on a budget, (e.g. what to prioritize when prepping with limited means).

Love the new blog! I would love a monthly idea of how to slowly but surely get a good three month supply of food up and going for us that feel overwhelmed with the idea of getting prepared.

any information on emergencies would be great on this site.

Hello! I'd like to see some recipe discussions here – ideas for using/combining storage items.

What happens to differnt fats over time. Do dehydrated fats oxidize in the process? Is freeze dried cheese a good option for storing fats because of this?

I'd like to see information about growing and storing my own food.

I would like to discuss nutrition of storage foods. Does it loose it nutritional value over time? What is necessary for a balanced extended emergancy plan? Etc..

Compare what happens to differnt fats over time. I've heard that drying fats oxidizes them. That's why I've been reluctant to stock up on dehydrated eggs and butter powder. Can you start selling coconut oil, canned butter, palm oil shortening, or ghee?

info on water storage, purification, rotation, etc. would be good.

I would really like to see what are the best ways for storing water/how long it keeps, etc.

I would love some more information about food storage for families with young children; how much do they really need; which items would be best for picky eaters; which items would require less prep time; etc.

How about addressing the needs of those who have pets? A lot of people think about themselves, but forget to prepare for their animals.

I would like to see ideas that promote health and nutrition using food storage in everyday use. Like things low in sugar but high in vitamins and good carbs, watching sodium and promoting health and weight control.

I'd like a discussion about the cost vs portability factor when deciding on buying supplies. How much should be in large (cheaper) containers vs smaller, more portable (but more expensive).

I'm interested in storing food in Mylar bags and food grade buckets. What foods are best to store and how long can they be stored before they should be replaced.

Please discuss water storage ins and outs.

Would love more good recipes of foods that can be made completely from basic food storage – like a really good wheat bread. I can make good wheat bread, or I can make it using food storage, but not both so far.

Please discuss water storage. . . It always seems to stump me. Why does it go "stale"? Can it still be used? etc.,.

I would like to see a discussion about the best things to pack in an emergency kit for toddlers.

I would To see information on places to get or things to get under to help survive an Earthquake if in a building.
