In one year, you'll have one-year supply. Of course, the key is to buy what you'll eat and rotate. I can fax it to you if you want or I may be able to scan it in and e-mail. It's like 6 pages so I don't want to re-type it!

(I was worn out by the end of the third ward) Needless to say today we went and bought more toilet paper and a little more cans goods and a big bag of rice. I need to practice better what I have to preach so often as part of my job. Glad to hear Troy will be home today. <BR/>Tell the kids Aunt Paulette loves them!Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08468837992360904304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869657768490167935.post-16339611340155698612008-03-31T20:27:00.000-04:002008-03-31T20:27:00.000-04:00So I had so much to add to this discussion, I deci...So I had so much to add to this discussion, I decided not to be a comment hog and make a post on my own blog about it. :)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03793062305737589225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869657768490167935.post-22049358569666651632008-03-31T15:53:00.000-04:002008-03-31T15:53:00.000-04:00Wheats crazy high priced right now, so start with ...Wheats crazy high priced right now, so start with oats.

But our discussion was more focused on preparing for some kind of natural disaster and putting up either a red paper screaming for help, or a green indicating that you are just fine. Hello, this was all too much for me. <BR/><BR/>Bring on the discussion of food storage. At least that is something you do have control over.<BR/><BR/>And yes, it does seem overwhelming. But just take baby steps. Buy a case of something when it goes on sale. Buy a few more cans of something that you are already purchasing. <BR/><BR/>You can do it, like it's been said previously. You'll get the hang of it.Amberlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444207984118256503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869657768490167935.post-17034313677145859232008-03-31T12:01:00.000-04:002008-03-31T12:01:00.000-04:00K, food storage does NOT need to consist of wheat ...K, food storage does NOT need to consist of wheat and beans.<BR/>I personally feel like you need SOME of the foods that you could live in during a complete natural disaster, however the rest of my food I rotate through. The whole pantry type food-saving thing works well into this. Anyway,I think it's important to have the storage, regardless of emergencies or not.<BR/>Go you.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333985897002693622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869657768490167935.post-68624971106711353012008-03-31T09:33:00.000-04:002008-03-31T09:33:00.000-04:00We had the same lesson in our ward.

The person teaching the lesson felt that "emergency preparedness" is a negative way of thinking about it, always seems to instill fear and trembling. So she has decided to remarket it in our ward by calling it "Caring by Preparing". <BR/><BR/>It was a good lesson.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707745903594756222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869657768490167935.post-62605881132633544462008-03-31T09:22:00.000-04:002008-03-31T09:22:00.000-04:00Okay Denise now we need to have a mini enrichment ...Okay Denise now we need to have a mini enrichment group on it.

It doesn't come naturally for me either. I start to think about it and get overwhelemed. I am not very organized so that is probably my problem. But they gave some good ideas yesterday. I wish we had more time though to hear more.Puhlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338304385721730492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869657768490167935.post-84600444764123137102008-03-31T07:46:00.000-04:002008-03-31T07:46:00.000-04:00Growing up in the church doesn't really give you a...Growing up in the church doesn't really give you a leg up. My parents had some wheat and always canned, but never had near a year supply. It's just one of those things you have to start by experimenting on the Lord's words. If you start small, the spirit with catch you and before you know it, it will be a priority for you.<BR/><BR/>I remember discussing food storage about four years ago and thinking it wasn't even worth trying. And I specifically remember saying: "It's not like I'm going to be one of those crazy people who grinds their own wheat and makes all their own bread!" We don't have a full year's supply, but we do have a lot now. <BR/><BR/>So anyway, you can do it! Start small and in a few years, it will just be natural!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03793062305737589225noreply@blogger.com
