Since we get to spend a few days at Katmai Roost with Barbara (aka Mom) & Dad (aka Grandma/Grandpa), I thought I would prepare a post in advance about … preparedness!
First of all, I saw this post on a food storage website I like.
You might also enjoying reading about it by clicking here.
Second, I read an article about other home shelter basics
you might want to back up on here.
The author of the above article is very down to earth, literally,
and I've enjoyed learning more about gardening from her.
I had fun starting my garden this year in milk cartons.
Here more about it on this website.
I only started in March, but have had great results.
We are currently expanding our garden to include fruit.
We hope our apples, pears, Asian pears and berries
will be productive in the future.
Finally, I attended/helped with an emergency preparedness fair last week.
I was able to take two classes. The first was Permaculture and Edible Landscaping: Rethinking the Modern Garden Space. The teacher was knowable and inspiring…and she had a great British accent.
A friend and I are going out to tour her gardens. She recommended this book: Gaia's Garden. I also went to a class by someone in our ward who works for the Secret Service. His class was titled Don't Get Caught Off Guard Self Defense and he included a lot about identity theft also. There are definitely many was to be prepared.
Here's a link to the preparedness fair website. This fair was also held two years ago, so you can get the source information for those classes also. It's a great source of information with many available downloads and links. Here's a handout on on edible plants I learned from. I sampled Miner's Lettuce and saw some in the gorge yesterday.
Good luck with all of your prepareness preparations!
