We are two weeks into the 57 week plan for getting prepared for emergencies.
December is a minimal 72 hour kit.
January will be a minimal first aid kit, starting food storage, and possibly making our 72 hour kit have more luxuries.
Plans for the 2013 year are:
Cooking in cans; car/tent heaters; solar cooking; enhancing our 72 hour kit and first aid kit; and growing sprouts.
Other possibilities if there is enough interest are:
Cooking substitutions; substituting dehydrated ingredients for fresh ingredients; making various bread products; and herbal remedies
I would love to hear about what you are interested in and what you know, so we can all learn together. Your knowledge can save me from having to research things.
If you want to get a head-start on supplies here are some things to start looking for and saving:
A tall tin with a lid (a handle would be nice and it needs to hold a full roll of toilet paper); candles for your 72 hour kit; unscented candles to melt for making heat sources; tuna sized cans, corrugated cardboard; a reflective car window shade (two would be best); toilet paper rolls; dryer lint; and cardboard egg cartons, and empty mayonnaise jars for sprouting.
Watch the after Christmas sales for tall tins with lids and candles. Hopefully there will be unscented candles somewhere.
