I would like to know about seasonal emergency preparedness (including but not limited to heat emergencies when evacuating and hurricane preparations/emergency kits).

Great job on the blog. I'll be back.

We use the tomatoes in place of stewed tomatoes when making spaghetti sauce and cassaroles.

Great idea! Since it is just me and 3 cats, I have limited storage. I am definitely interested in storage ideas for food and water and cat preparedness.

It is wonderful that there is such a blog as this! I would like to see a daily tip on preparedness as well as useful information such as recipes. I hope that people can ask questions and others can enter input and solutions that have worked for them.

I would love to hear how to can my own garden seeds. I would also like to hear about people's favorite MRE meals. Maybe you could do a survey?

I love the Emergency Essentials store. I was recently made a scoutmaster and had only been camping one other time in my adult life… I like to get the MREs and the MRE heaters to take on camps, because I don't have to wait for the campfire or for a campstove, just a little bit of water, a little bit of time, and I'm eating warm food before anyone else has even started cooking. Emergency Essentials has everything I need for camping and survival. Oh, yeah, and food storage :) Thanks!

Thanks for this site. It will increase my preparedness skill set.

I would love to learn more about water purification. And anything with storing fresh veggies.

I would love to read about sprouting or recipes with long term food storage items. Elaine Curry, Colorado

I would like more information on water purification and storage.

I would love to see some info and equipment for pet preparedness.

I would like to see recipes utilizing dehydrated foods.

I would like to see discussion on food storage with a minimal budget.

I would like to know where to get heritage seeds and how to save seeds from year to year. Also, how to obtain and purify water after the 2-week supply runs out.

I would like to have a blog about resources that we each have learned about that we can share with each other on tips to reduce the costs for items, that may help each of us save money for more important items that we can't currently afford.

I love your emergency preparedness tips—and share with fellow CERT members! (I began purchasing freeze-dried foods in the 1970s.)

Preparedness 101…the basics!

Thanks for starting a blog-I was just thinking yesterday as I looked at your website how I wished there was more practical info about preparedness!

One thing missing from a lot of emergency preparedness guides is pet care. While each kit guideline gives water and food amounts for each person in the house, what about the cats, dogs, and other small animals who also make up our families? Also, tips on how to handle pets during emergencies would be helpful!

Would love to see recipes for the grains… beyond just basic bread.

Working with a not-so-interested spouse on emergency prep.

I would like to discuss ways to make preparation and storage fun for my kids. I'd really like to motivate them to help me!

Excellent site! I'd like more information on preparation for evacuation as well as "hunkering down."

Great idea on the new site

I would like to start food storage and my 72 hour kits where would I start without getting over whelmed. Thanks for taken your time to see what people need.

I would like to know what good my grain/grain mill will be to me if we don't have any power and can't make my bread. do you have any other uses for it that can be cooked on an open flame in times of emergency?

I am thrilled with the idea of a blog from Emergency Essentials. I am forever checking out and buying product from you. The more I can learn about how to use your products the better.

The blog's a great idea, particularly for those of us who're just getting going with being prepared. Good on you folks.

Discussions of water collection/purification would be of good interest.

I'd like to see a discussion about water in an emergency situation. Clean water is a necessity to survival and I'd like to know ideas on it's storage, filtering, treatment, finding more when you run out, rain barrels, etc…

For first time food storage purchasers, what do you recommend buying for a 3 month supply to start with?

Please share how to rotate your food storage. This is my biggest problem. I buy things and then just let them sit.

Would love to share ideas on cooking with grains, dehydrating and bread making.

This new blog is wonderful! Kudos to you.

I would love to see an article on water purification and supplies needed. Also Using Wheat recipes.

Louise

I would like to know how to use wheat beside making bread with it.

I love the catalogs, but rarely see sales or anything meant for large families (we have 5 children) and almost nothing for children with special needs, like autism, that causes problems with eating certain foods because of texture. Also, how does a family of 7 keep the 3-day pack's weight to a minimum?
Thanks!

Thanks for your new blog site. I don't know a lot about emergency survival so I will be blogging in on this site. I will also follow you on Twitter.
Again, thanks I am excited about your new site.
Blessings

I would love to get information food storage for your boys that are growing up…..like at what age what and how much should you store??? Ans at what point do you start storing for them as an adult?

I would like to hear more ideas of how to use and rotate basic food storage items – wheat, oats, beans, powdered milk, etc.

Howdy Emergency Essentials,

I love your products so much.

I would like to see discussed on this blog more about home gardening and canning.

Thanks,

Matt

New blog… good idea! I'm likin' it!

High on my list of topics to cover are long term water and medication storage.
Craig

I would be interested in utilizing our food storage in a rotation. There are certain items I would like direction on in implementing into our daily diet.

I would love to see helps for those of us who are 'getting started' — i.e. the baby steps to preparedness; perhaps some information that would help each of us decide where we should invest our resources and energy first in the categories of food storage, safety, etc. Thank you I am excited to follow your blog.

Interested in what others have in emergency preparedness & if they had to use. Bailout bags. And how to organize so items in kits don't go out of date.

I would love to see information for ways those with food allegies and health issues can prepare. Love the site! Thanks!

I would like to get info on rotating oils.

Mona

Am preparing as much as I can but my family isn't convinced we need it in Colorado. Any good resources to help them understand the need.

As a group leader, I am frequently asked how long a product will last if stored in favorable conditions. I know there are guidelines on your site to help in this area, BUT I would like to see addressed those dehydrated and freeze-dried products that have a limited long-term storage of less than 10 years. Do products that contain eggs have a shorter storage life?
