It’s been a while since I reviewed a prepackaged freeze dried food so I decided to be adventurous and try Backpacker’s Pantry Pad Thai. It is a vegetarian noodle dish, and the family elected to eat other foods so I was the only one who tried it. I was a little “iffy” about the dish at first, but since it was so easy to prepare I figured, “Why not?” The first step is to take out the peanut butter packet […]
This post is by Bernie Carr, apartmentprepper.com Our apartment is getting smaller! Or it seems that way anyway. The more emergency supplies we acquire, the less free space we have. So I started paring down on items again. This past weekend I donated a box of stuff to Goodwill: outgrown children’s clothing, kitchen gadgets I rarely use, books and CDs that I did not get a chance to sell on Ebay. I’ve been reading a few sites on minimalism. Some […]
Another note from building management was stuck to our door when I got home today: “Tenant is hereby informed that your lease and security deposit is hereby transferred to blah blah blah…” Our building just got sold! I immediately called the property manager to confirm. Yes, our apartment just got sold, but building management and everything else stays the same for now. Now we know the real reason for the second round of inspections. This was not just a […]

I am happy to be back home after being away for a week. Now I can proceed with my bulk food storage plans. Last week, I posted about shopping for food staples such as rice, pasta, pinto beans, etc. in “Survival Food Shopping” We then bought the materials needed to package these foods for long-term storage. These were purchased online as I could not find a local store that carries them: –food grade five gallon buckets with lids –1 gallon […]
This month’s project is to store some bulk items such as rice, flour, pinto beans, sugar etc. I was originally hoping to participate with the local Latter Day Saints (LDS) Cannery that I had found out about after doing a search for mylar bags and bulk food storage. I called them and found out information and pricing. The facility is about an hour away, but it sounded good so I planned to go as the prices were very reasonable. You […]
I happily won ModernSurvivalOnline.com’s Cansolidator Giveaway a couple of weeks ago. The item is the Cansolidator “Pantry” which fits 40 cans and is available from Shelf Reliance. I’m not a paid sponsor, just reviewing the item since I have never used a food rotation item before. As you know, I am always on the hunt for an efficient way to store our supplies, since we are always so short on space in our apartment. We finally decided on a spot […]
If you are noticing the prices of your usual grocery items are creeping up, you are right. Commodity prices for such items as wheat, corn, coffee, sugar, etc. continue to increase; we will soon see even higher prices at the grocery store than we are already seeing now. At the same time, incomes are either getting slashed or staying flat, causing more pain in the pocketbook. Just look at a few of these links: Global Food Crisis Sweeps Commodity Markets; […]
