Hey all! I'm so thrilled, just got both, a foodsaver and mylar bags for storing all kinds of prep goodies.
First off though, not too long ago,I ran across a post on fb about reusing juice pouches. Don't remember who it was from, but what you do is wash, rinse and dry really good and then cut straight across, just under where the straw goes. Then you basically use it like a mylar bag, folding the top down in about 1/8 inch sections, about 3-4 times and iron it. Seals right up! Don't think I'll use it for food, but I've been putting stuff like matches, batteries,etc.
For the mylar bags, I've already made up 6  1gal bags. Filled them with white rice and assorted dry beans, lentils and then added dehydrated vegetables to each and a pinch of chili peppers.
I love the foodsaver, we've made up a couple of diy mre's. Made some individual hygiene and first aid bags also. In my next segment, I'll go over those and what all we put in them and where we got the items from. As it is past midnite, I'm signing off. Mrs.Prepper

This segment is going to deal with skill sets, which are also I consider bartering skills. If someone has something you need, but you don't have an object to trade with, you could possibly trade your say horse training for fresh fruits/vegetables.So, in no particular order I'll list a variety of skills. Remember, you never know who has a potentially valuable skill. I know that in a shtf situation, some tough decisions will have to be made, like should you invite the seemingly odd group of strangers to join you or not. Most of these are pretty self explanatory. I guess it depends on the situation and what all is needed to have some semblance of normalcy. Mrs. Prepper

Just put up the new youtube video. Its the $25 prep challenge. Basically, we went to the dollar store, initially with $20 in mind, but upped it to $25, to see how much we could get, that was prep/survival related.

Just got my $2 pack of heirloom seeds. Here's a pic of them, nice variety. I tried to go back to see if I could get another, but said they were out and didn't know when they would be back up.

This is a great deal on heirloom seeds! I found it on facebook and decided to check it out. You get 7,500 + heirloom seeds on amazon for $2, normally $35!! I went ahead and got them and yes its for real. When you click on this link below, it will give you a code to type in when you check out, its correct, it does. Just wanted to share a super deal with you! Mrs. Prepper  Also, its for a limited time, so I wouldn't wait too long.

Going to do a couple things this week. One is, a planting tutorial, showing you the different methods I've used to start my seeds and some of the results of them. Another, is going to set a $ amount, unknown how much atm, and go to both one of the local dollar stores and a thrift store and see how much prep stuff I can get at both. Will do a video for the planting, not sure if I'll do one in stores, maybe just the results.

If anybody has a topic they would like to see addressed, please comment and I'll see what I can do! And who knows, if I can get subscribers,followers, etc. maybe we'll have to do a giveaway! Mrs. Prepper

Here is a list I made up of what I call prepper mentality. See if you agree or not. Pick a SHTF scenario and just for the purpose of this little test, say you have 30 minutes to load up your family and what can fit in your car. Little likelihood of having a home to come back to or heavy damage. What does the non prepper choose vs a prepper?

Non Prepper:
box or 2 of family photos
jewelry
makeup
clothes
china/artwork/antiques
cameras/gaming devices/computer
dvd player/dvd's
important papers
other mementos

Prepper:
Your already prepared bug out bags
tents/camping supplies
medical supplies
weapons
food/water preps
tools
essential clothing

Now, not to make fun of those who don't prep or don't understand it, but if you really think about it and compare those two lists, who is the one who will be trying to take your items, because they put themselves into that situation. Take for example Hurricane Katrina, they knew enough ahead of time to leave. They saw how strong a storm it was. Some left, some stayed in their own homes, some went to shelters. If you choose to not be prepared for whatever events, I'm not saying you don't deserve to be helped, if someone is in a position themselves to offer it, but you have no right to use force or expect everyone else to give. Don't get me wrong, if possible, you come looking or asking for help, I'll do my best, but to demand it or try to harm me or mine, sorry, you put yourself in that boat.

I just have the feeling if something bad happend, to radically change our way of living, there is going to be alot of people with this mentality and this is why we need to spread the word about preparedness. The more people who are of this mindset the better we will all be. Mrs. Prepper
