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.
