Last week I discovered Pinterest. Talk about addicting. Oh my goodness! I really have to limit my self on how much time I can be on there. Last night I was on there and I came across a "pin" for home remedies. I went to her blog and looked at some of her posts. WOW! She had home remedies for things I would have NEVER thought of!
Have you ever wondered how to keep your windshield from freezing? How to keep your car door from freezing shut? How about how to keep your windshield from fogging up? She has remedies for all that and more! Most of the items you need to prevent that you already have around the house. Click here to view her blog post.
On pinterest you can even look up food storage and get all sorts of ideas and recipes! Who would have though?!?! So if you havent already done so you should check it out.
Are you trying to build your food storage and don`t know where to start? Do you have the basics in your food storage but want to add fruits, veggies, meats, seasonings ect. to it? Are you wanting to have a 72hr kit (emergency kit) in case of an emergency? This is the place to be! Want FREE products to build your supply? Let me know and I`ll show you how!

What does a basic 1 yr supply of food for 1 person look like?
So I am totally excited today. I can now say I officially have my year supply of beans. Well at least my pinto beans that is. I also have a year supply of a mixed bean. That is not on my list to store but it will give me more of a variety. It feels so great to be able to go to my list of what I need to store and be able to mark off something that I have completely done.
I received an email from a friend of mine who had some great info pertaining to food storage. Someone took the time to get a basic year supply for 1 person. They set it up on a shelf and took a picture of it to show what a year supply actually looks like. This was the minimum that we are told to store. It really opened my eyes. I have decided that I want to store more than a year supply for my family. As for my pinto beans I can say that I have a 2 year minimum supply. Looking at the 50lb bag I have though...its kind of a scary thought that for my family of 6 that is what we have for 2 years. Here is the links that she sent me.
Above was a post I did on another blog a few years ago. I for one am so grateful to have more than a basic supply. Looking at that looks so drab, looking at mine looks much more appealing. I have fruits and veggies, dairy products ect. I have food from all the food groups.

Shelf Reliance Youtube Channel/Solar Hand Crank Lantern
Shelf Reliance has been working on making videos showcasing their emergency products. These videos are wonderful! Each video talks about one product. They show you the product, tell you how it works, and then show you how to use it. Through watching these videos I have found so many more products that I want. The most recent video I watched is the Solar Crank Lantern. Before watching this video I thought oh ok this would be helpful. After watching the video I WANT this! It is really cool and totally safe for the little ones.
A few of the things I really like about this lantern are:
The video will tell you this as well but to use the solar charging options. It needs to charge for 10 hrs to receive a full charge. Simply put the lantern outside in the sun in the morning, in the evening you have a full charge (6 hrs of light)
To use the hand crank simply turn the crank for 1 minute. You will get 30 minutes of light. Crank for a few minutes and you will have a few hours of light. Pass the lantern around and let everyone crank!
For the 12 volt option just plug it into your cigarette charge and let it charge for 3 hours and you will get a full charge (6 hours of light)
You have the option to choose how bright you want the lantern. There is a low switch which turns on 6 LED lights. The hi switch turns on 12 LED lights.
I think overall my fave things about this lantern is that it does not heat up. It stays cool so I wouldnt have to worry about my kids getting burned. They can carry this around and be safe!
Through me this is only $28! What a steal. I know I have said this for a few other items but this would make a great Christmas present. Not just as a emergency item either. I would put this into my sons scout back pack and he can use it while he is camping with his scout troop. Lots of uses for this!
A few of the things I really like about this lantern are:
- 3 charging options
- solar
- hand cramk
- 12 volt (cigarette charger)
- no fuel to store
- NO fire hazard
- Lantern does NOT get hot!
- SAFE FOR KIDS!

Volcano Stove
As I mentioned in my previous post, Shelf Reliance has just released over 30 new emergency items. I think my fave emergency item is the volcano stove! I have been looking at these for quite some time now but to be honest I wasnt wanting to spend the money.
Shelf Reliance has now posted a video on youtube but for some reason I can not load it on here. Click HERE to watch the video!
Now that Winter is fast approaching I really need to work on my powerless cooking options. Right now I have.....nothing....well I shouldnt say nothing. I do have some camp stoves and a bottle or two of propane. Oh I do have a bag of charcoal. Thats a start but it wont get me very far! The solution to my problem is.....THE VOLCANO STOVE!!!!
I cant even tell you how cool the Volcano Stove is. After watching this video can you see why I think it is so cool?!?! I think the thing I like the most about it is there there are 3 different options for fuel....propane, charcoal and wood. I live in the north west so even if I run out of propane or charcoal we have an endless supply of wood around us.
Shelf Reliance has 2 different packages you can pick from. The first one is called Volcano Collapsible Propane Cooking Kit and it includes:
The other package we have is called Volcano collapsible cooking kit and it includes:
The difference between the 2 packages is that one comes with the propane attachment and valve adapter. Thats the only difference!
If you would like to purchase one of these click the names above and it will take you where you can purchase one or you can read more about what is included in each package.
Remember Christmas is coming soon. This would make a wonder present! (hint hint Honey!!!) :)
Have you ever used a volcano stove? If so please post a comment with your likes/dislikes, successes/failures and any tips or questions you may have.
