Great Site! Would love more recipes on using the dehydrated foods I purchase.
Have many of you used gluten as a meat substitute? I have a 4 year old granddaughter that refuses to eat animals and I looking for substitutes that her mom can use.

I would like to see discussions about how to stock up, what to stock up with, when you don't do wheat or dairy.

I'm interested in so many things, but mostly on information of the things that we would definitely NEED for emergencies and then things that would just be nice. It's hard to figure out what is the best to spend money on. Love the site! Rheanna Eagle Mountain, Utah

I would be interested in a discussion on electrical needs during a long time without power. We were without electricity for nearly 2 weeks with Ike, and there are some things I could have done in advance to prepare for that (e.g. bought a generator, purchased the solar powered battery charger, etc).

This is so cool. Our family is working to get off grid as well as grow our own food. We have a home built in 1952 that has a bomb shelter built in the basement. We have all of our emergency supplies stored here…hopefully never to be used

I would like to see recipes and ways to use the food in my pantry. We've got about a years supply and I want to make sure nothing goes to waste!!

What a person who lives in a suburban area can do in terms of alternative energy go power household items in case of emergency.

I'm just learning about being prepared and I am very excited about the blog!

Great blog, first one I've actually wanted to follow! My question is what is the best way to get started with food storage for someone on a fixed income?

Thank you for creating this blog! I often frequent preparedness blogs, and now my favorite prepardness store has a blog!
I would love to get more information on water storage and making water potable/safe. Thanks so much.

this is wonderful! you should be on facebook too!

Whoo-hoo! Looooove Emergency Essentials. How about anything to do with wheat – grinding, storing, cooking, etc. Great idea! Everyone should be more prepared.

I would like to know more about what garden and home repair tools to have in my kit, and where to get ones that are substantial and lasting.

Ideas on how to help your ward or large groups get prepared.

I would like to see recipes and tips for using the food in my pantry. Thanks!

I enjoy your website and learning how to be prepared for any emergency. Thanks

Just about every topic has been covered but would like to see something on mental toughness when the fudge hits the fan.

I would love to see info on cooking methods & fuels to use our food storage sans electricity.

Melanie

P.S. You should publish this on amazon, through the Kindle. :-)

I would like info on storing canned products…how long before they are "unsafe" to eat

I'd like to know more about storing water. I currently have gallon water jugs from the store and 24 packs of individual bottles. I don't know how long this is all good for and if it is just better to store in large drums and buckets? What is the best way to store water?

I would love a post detailing tornado preparedness. We are moving from Utah to Oklahoma soon and it would be nice to know the best way to prepare out there.

I would love to read a discussion about urban preparedness. Those of us who live in cities have small lots to grow, and even less storage space to store.

I would like to see info on increasing shelf life and proper food and water storage.
Thanks for a great site!!!

I would love to hear about non-hybrid seeds and square-foot gardening for apartment- and condo-dwellers. Thanks!

This is great. I will come here often.

Hurricane preparedness. I was surprised by how much stress impacted how we handled our 72 hr kits. And in the heat? Tuna was a BAD choice.

This will be a great site. Right now, I'm interested in water storage and how to do it for the longest-lasting storage.

KAY

Love the new website!

I would like to learn about using a pressure canner for storing meats. I just purchased a new pressure canner and have not used it yet!

Another one I want to learn more about is that powdered shortening and how you get it to look like the photo. Reconstitute with water??? I wasn't clear on that from the catalog.

I would love information on what recipes can be prepared using stored foods and how many people each recipe feeds.

This might be a good idea

This site is awesome! I would like a discussion on automobile emergency kits, especially for winter travel. There's so much difference between the premade kits that I'm not sure what's really important or what I should add.

Kristi

I am so excited about this new site! What great information!

Would be interested in information about solar cooking and possibly emergency communications.

My husband and I are eagerly working and planning our emergency and disaster plan. We would like to see more on growing your own vegetable garden (for New England area), what grows well and easy, and the jarring process (as we have never done this before) We know how to freeze, but dealing with the possible worst (no electric or communication) we all NEED to be prepared.

I'm excited to add this blog to my "favorites" list. I would like to learn about indoor gardening — so that I can eat salad greens all year round without having to go outside to plant. This would be especially helpful if we couldn't get to the store in the wintertime due to whatever event might happen (trucker's strike, drought, etc.).

I also would love to learn more and more about basic gardening principles, as I am still learning in that area.

I would like to win, and I would like to learn more about rotation and maybe easy "How to build" a rotation station.
-Thanks-
Annette

Keep up the great work.

I would like to see a discussion that explains the different types of grains (what makes them different) and a discussion on the shelf life for your common food items. Love the blog!

I would like to see some recipes using your products. I love your new site.

I teach a family preparedness class and Emergency Essentials is the first place we look for information. This blog is really going to be a hit with the group.

Prepare now—don't wait til all your neighbors are running to the store, too.

I love the idea of this Blog.
I do backpacking and I prefer freezer bag cooking.

I use the "Cheese Blend" as a main ingredient. With ramen and chicke or on burritos. Even cheesy rice meals. It does it all.

Now people have a blog they can share their unique ideas and uses for amazing products.

This is cool. I will come here often.

I love all the wonderful products you offer.

I would love to learn more about water purification. Love the new blog!

Loved the gardening article. We, too, have had seeds we purchased from you that have sprouted and been delightful way past any reasonable expectation could have been alive. Thanks for great products.

I would love to see topics on storing supplies safely and making them easy to transport along with preparing for emergencies with children in the house.
