How Prepared Are You?

I came arcross a new website, www.shelfreliance.comCheck it out! They have some great ideas for food rotation, a food calculator, emergency kits you can customize. Take a look at all the items they have available. It gives some really great ideas of things you may want to add to your own emergency kits, First Aid kits or food storage. www.providentliving.org is cheaper for basics, like wheat, rice, beans & quick oats & of course going to your local cannery is about 1/2 the cost of shelf reliance because you do the work yourself. For those of you who may not have a cannery or the time readily available ordering off the interne may be a great option.So now the question, How prepared are you???For the first Family Home Evening of each month we work on food storage. Tonight we are going to go over what we have, organize it & print off a list from food calculator to see where we are at.I was in a meeting Sunday where we were STRONGLY earged to get our selves prepared. We are planning a head for Christmas gifts of food storage for some of our family members. Probably not the most exciting gift to unwrap, but I wouldn't trade excitement for the peace of mind being prepared brings.Check out Shelf Reliance to get some new ideas.
