Last night’s dinner: Ribs and rice cooked in the Sun Oven. Amazing. You need one of these. And I’m a dealer for them. Shoot me an email or use the link on the right side to order :) Keep preparing!

Cookies in the Sun Oven
I’ve borrowed a Sun Oven from a sweet friend, and since it’s been sunny, I’ve been out experimenting with it a bit. I got it out Monday, intending to cook some bread in it since I was baking bread anyway, but it had never been out of the box, and the instructions say to let […]
Living History to Learn Skills
I read a post at Preparedness Pro yesterday about the importance of learning skills. Acquiring useful skills is actually something I’ve thought about a lot in case you couldn’t tell by all the crazy stuff I share with you that I’ve been doing. I believe that having a quiver full of skills and things you’ve […]
Kids 72 Hour Emergency Kits
Children are a special consideration when planning emergency/evacuation type kits. They obviously cannot carry as much as an adult, yet require enough of their own stuff to make it impossible for the adults to carry the supplies for the entire family. Our solution was to make abbreviated kits for the kids. My idea when putting […]
Rotating the Adult 72 Hour/Emergency Kits
Remember the 72 hour emergency kits? Well, if you’ve put one together for yourself or your loved ones, it’s a good idea to get into them and rotate the supplies every so often. I actually like to do this every spring and fall (I use the LDS General Conference weekend as a reminder). Getting the […]
Preparedness Enrichment Night
A few months ago I was asked if I would do an Enrichment night for the ladies at church about preparedness. Of course I said yes. Now, for those who don’t know, the LDS church has a program for the ladies called Relief Society, and part of that is having activities or meetings called Home, […]
Homemade Powdered Laundry Detergent
I’m trying out some homemade laundry soap. Laundry soap is one of the items I was afraid I’d run out of on the 2 week no shopping experiment, so I thought it would be nice to be able to stock ingredients and make me some laundry soap whenever I needed it. Turns out it takes […]
Making Better Char Cloth
Hey, check out my post on Making Better Char Cloth over at the Utah Preppers site–some good information for firestarting, and something you might want included in your emergency kits especially if you have a striker type firestarting tool (flint/steel, etc.) you plan on using. Keep preparing! Angela *************************************************************** Subscribe to my email newsletter for […]
Are You Prepared?
I got these questions on a handout from church a couple of weeks ago–See how you do or if there are areas you need work on. I had to ask sweet husband about a few of these . . . we still have work to do. 1. Has your family rehearsed fire escape routes from […]
Resourcefulness and the Ugly Birthday Cake
You know usually I put up some sort of information I deem useful. I’m just like that. I’m prone to action rather than much thought (hey, don’t take that too far–you know I think occasionally . .). Something happens and I think, “What can I DO about it?” and get busy instead of fretting over […]
