Some of you are probably like "woah this girl is one of those" and click off the page, but let me say I am NOT an extremest. It pretty much boils down to the fact that I want to make sure I can take care of me and mine if something does happen that would force us to rely on living that is different that what I am living today.
Not to mention I believe God wants us to be prepared:
Proverbs 27:12
“A prudent person foresees the danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.”
So please join me as I try, and probably fail, at learning to be self reliant & research "off the grid" living.
Also keep in mind, money is an issue for me, therefore I will be "prepping" in spurts and do what I can when I can. I started stocking up on a few items about 2 weeks ago. These are a few of the things I bought along with my first batches of dehydrated food.
I purchased 1- 16oz bag of dried pinto beans, 1-16 oz bag of dried split peas, 2 containers of aspirin 2 containers of triple antibiotic ointment, and 2 containers of salt with iodine. I then dehydrated about a half package of each, celery and carrots (in the small jars to the left). I also dehydrated mushrooms (fresh white button) and sliced potatoes.
I feel pretty satisfied with this as I had completed this within 2 days of deciding to embark on this journey. Also because it only cost me about 10 dollars. FYI the Aspirin and triple antibiotic ointment are in the 88 cent section near the pharmacy in Walmart, and everything else I either had, or bought on sale.
I found an awesome site that gives pretty informative articles on off the grid living and a list of supplies to find at the grocery store as survival food. The list can be found here:
