I was looking for a subject tonight, and realized I’d never written about my dehydrators, though I’ve written many articles that included them as an important background player. The list of my articles that use a dehydrator includes: Drying and Storing Sweet Peppers Fire Roasted Coconut Dried Chili Lime Papaya Chips Making your own All […]

Natural Headache Treatment
As I sat down to write out this post, I had a splitting headache. I walked in to the kitchen to find something for the pain, and recalled an old friend of mine that I keep in the fridge for just such an occasion. It’s never failed me before,and always takes the pain away. As […]
Product Review: Ozark Trail Camp Cot
My good friend SB refuses to camp, mostly due to his belief that sleeping on the sucks. To be honest, I mostly agree, it DOES suck to sleep on the ground….so I don’t anymore. There are several alternatives available: foam pads, air mattresses, sling chairs, hammocks, and cots.

Went to Sams a while back, and picked up a cartload of spices. After getting them home, I realized I’d not be able to keep them long enough to get full use out of the containers, so I starting looking at options for breaking it down into smaller portions, or at least into a resealable […]

Prepper ‘Fast Food’
My household is a hurricane-ready one. We have plans for food, water, and several options for providing power in the event of another hurricane hitting this area. We went through several before, so have some idea what the aftermath is like, so can plan for many things we know may occur. As to the food […]
Review – www.zennioptical.com
I spoke about Zenni Optical a while back, but had never actually tried them out. Well, last week, I received my first order from them, and I’m impressed enough that I thought I’d share.
Review: The ULTIMATE Long term storage item – Yoder’s Bacon
My 9 year-old stayed with my mom for the weekend, and was telling her about this wonderful product we stock for emergencies, and my mom was quizzing me about it. I realized I had never written about it here, so I think it’s about time.
You Can Lead a Horse to Water, But You Can’t Make Them THINK
…or maybe I should say “mule”. Try all you will to change someone’s thoughts or beliefs, and you fail almost every time. Why is that? Maybe some folks just don’t get it…. …or do they? Human nature is predictable about 99% of the time in regards to
