Rhema GoalsI have always been fascinated with how to live off nature's bounty, food storage, how to endure a disaster or an economic depression. This interest increased during my hunting in north Alabama's hill country and a tour in Viet Nam spurred this fervent pursuit. Almost daily, I document disaster victims' survival and shortages of basic necessities.
(Photo: Emergency Preparedness - My daughter uses a pitcher pump connected to an outside faucet to pump water when there is no power or water during a disaster. Note: This arrangement will also move water horizontally from nearby water source.) [Pump Details]
During past hard times, those who planned ahead had alternatives to the local grocery store. For example, alternate food resources and preparedness skills may be seen in two examples.Pine Needles
If Y2K, a natural disaster or a transportation strike should interrupt the fresh fruit supply, many could suffer from scurvy and die. Yet a palatable tea made from green pine needles contains 300 percent more vitamin C than orange juice. To prepare it, cover chopped green pine needles with boiling water and let them steep for 15 minutes; then mix the liquid with sugar or use it in a soup to mask the slightly resinous taste.
Acorns
During Y2K, A loss of electricity and refrigeration would cause the decay of stored animal protein sources. However, acorns can be processed to produce an alternate protein source if they are shelled and boiled in several changes of water to reduce bitterness. The result is a good usable, tasteless protein and calorie source with the consistency of a mushroom.
Many find that their initial trips to "graze" develop into an entertaining family ritual.
Morning dew
Morning dew is another example our lack of knowledge. We can only live five to seven days without water and there a many things such as Y2K that can interrupt our present convenient supply. But when there is a heavy dew in the morning, one can drag a t-shirt through the dew, wring it out and collect a quart of water every half hour. It is truely exciting that all one needs to have is the knowledge of how to utilize what is around them.
FUTURE FOODS, INC.
Many of you have written asking for information on how your church and community groups can get food to distribute if there is a crisis. I'm very excited about an organization called Future Foods of Minnesota (not to be confused with a company with a similar name in Utah).
The food requires very simple preparation - just add water for a six-meal casserole. Cost of an unbelieveable $.49 per meal. [For pricing and shipping details]For many years, I have shared my disaster preparedness and foraging experiences with others. To that end, I offer information on my four books followed by a link to my Family Preparedness Resource page.
Today is the time to develop practical self-reliant skills. Now you can be prepared with the critical knowledge needed concerning your future. - Ken Larson
If you find a good book on a useful topic, BUY IT! If you wait it may go out of print or may be difficult or impossible to obtain when you really need it. Author Unknown.
