Or for those Doomsday Prepper types with bunkers full of MRE's. Most of us don't fall in either category but there are ways to prepare anyway. If I can inspire just one person to put away a few extra cans of spaghetti sauce, it is worth it!!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-28783147148536776532015-03-06T06:11:25.168-06:002015-03-06T06:11:25.168-06:00Rob...Starbucks by snowmobile - that's good! ...Rob...Starbucks by snowmobile - that's good! I was talking with someone not too long ago who firmly believes that in an emergency situation, they don't have to do anything - the government will bring them food and water. That person got mad at me when I said they would be a long time dead before that happened. I think that's a good share of the problem. People actually believe the government will take care of them, cradle to grave.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-8922894132769812162015-03-06T00:42:02.595-06:002015-03-06T00:42:02.595-06:00Never underestimate the need for your blog my dear...Never underestimate the need for your blog my dear.

Knox area) A lady commented on how they sat on the road for over 13 to 16 hrs with no one bringing food and water. She had to melt snow for water. <br /><br />My oldest daughter said what does she expect Starbucks by snowmobile.??<br /><br />Just remember slow and steady wins the race.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800149852939042454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-12310832910021440002015-03-05T09:33:36.030-06:002015-03-05T09:33:36.030-06:00Gorges...I don't know as wisdom has anything t...Gorges...I don't know as wisdom has anything to do with it.

When I...Anon...Thanks so much for your kind words. When I was much younger, I too raised much of what my family ate. But now that I am an apartment dweller, like so many of retirement age, I find I need to adjust the way I do things. Much to my chagrin, I find that the things I did with ease even 10 years ago have become a chore at my 68 years of age. I'm not so sure that I could handle livestock or a garden any more, even if I were in a position to do so. Farmer's markets are wonderful, but I lack transportation. So making use of grocery store produce and meat are necessary for me to prep as I need to. I guess a person just does the best they can with what they have to work with. My goal is not to have a big, popular blog. If I can help just one person, I'm happy.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-4112158659887728152015-03-05T07:07:48.243-06:002015-03-05T07:07:48.243-06:00Thank you for giving your view point on being prep...Thank you for giving your view point on being prepared. Currently my husband and I try to grow and raise what we can for our family, but we realize that we are aging and there will be a time that we won't be able to do as much as we do now. We are both in our 50s and realize things are already a bit more difficult.<br />Your blog is so educational and has caused me to rethink my shopping and food storage. I never thought about canning frozen vegetables and smaller portions before. Please, don't ever think you blog and information isn't as important as some of the bigger blogs. I learn as much from you as I do from any of them, if not more. Sage wisdom can never be beat by youth in my opinion.<br />Thank youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
