Canning Videos
Sorry I had to take down the six videos from youtube on canning. The person that had posted them, had deleted their account. That made them no longer available for me to use on this blog.
I will do my best to find some new ones to share with all of you here.

Survival Preparedness - Prepper - Doomer - Survivalist?
Prepper, Doomer, or Survivalist; These are just a few of the many titles, given to people who take a strong interest preparing for a unknown future crisis that can effect their lives or their loved ones. Survival Preparedness can mean many different things to different people. People prepare for things according to their own likes, dislikes, fear, current events, or crisis of their own choosing.
I am going to write a few things of my own. I hope this will help someone to start their own basic personal or family survival preparedness. You may be starting from scratch or with things you already own and use.
Start by making a basic list of things you need to keep yourself alive and healthy. You need shelter a place to stay warm or cool and out of the elements of bad weather or unclean air if that is the case. You will need water, figure at least one gallon of water per person per day. Food - keep food that you will actually eat, use the food and replace the items to keep a fresh supply.
First-Aid and health items - build yourself basic a first aid kit and if need be learn how to make use of them. If you have health problems that require you to take medications; make sure that you have what you need for a emergency and a safe way to store them. Security - A means to protect yourself from harm and keeping what you need to survive taken from you. Communications - A way to know what is going on around you. Any communication that works for you in a time of an emergency, portable radio, TV, citizen band radio, ham or shortwave radio, internet, word of mouth (from trusted sources).
I know I have not gone into much detail for needs, but really take time to educate yourself. Go over how long of a span of time your needs will be in preparedness. Look and see what you have already in your possession to get started in survival preparedness. Do something, start anywhere, but do get started.
A easy start is to recycle soda or water bottles, and fill them with clean water. This could be a beginning for a emergency water storage needs. This can cost you also most next to nothing to begin. Start to grow some of your own food. Get some garden seeds, plant things you like to eat. If you do not have much room, try gardening in containers. I think gardening is a great skill to learn. You can learn how I got started gardening here.
I found a interest in survival preparedness early in my life, click here to read a short biography about me. Preparing for survival is a skill that I believed has save my life on more than one occasion. This is also a skill that can greatly reward you. It can help you better handle some of what life throws at you; and give you a better peace of mind.

Obsessives: Seeds
I like collecting seeds myself; and love being able to grow all kinds of plants for flowers or food. Everyone should at least try to grow something.
