Therefore do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we wear? For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (Matt. 6:31-33)
Kart, Could you repost your preparedness pdf. I had a computer crash and lost it.
In the Lord’s Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.

Ha! I see what you did there..........LOL!
Actually, that might play into the hands of serious preppers. Fewer folks to compete with.
Thanks for the reminder. I plan on watching. I figure I may learn something and I can always ignore any parts that are sensationalized or just plain nuts. No harm in investing an hour of my time watching it.
Thanks for all ya do Kart!!! :)
Has anyone tried the reusable canning lids? I stay stocked up on the regular ones ‘cause if we have a serious long term power outage I have two freezers of food that will have to be canned.
If there is a ping list, please add me.
For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpfull. You can download it at:

I haven’t used them but people I know highly recommend the reusable ones. Depends on which ones you are referring to of course.
I only can fruits and jams and juices, waterbath, but I re-use regular lids every year. When I open a jar of something, I’m careful not to bend the edges at all. If the lid has no scratches inside and still has a good amount of rubbery stuff, I wash carefully and stack them in boxes and re-use them. Some lids this summer I’d re-used a couple of times already. They sea up fine. Now since I re-use the ones that aren’t scratched or bent in any way, instead of magic markers to write contents and date, I use a wax pencil so I can rub it off! I’m not a huge canner, I did about 270 jars this year. If i get a garden going this year with extra produce I might try pressure canning.
Anyone know where I can buy freeze dried food at an actual store retail location? I saw that REI sells Mountain Home. I would like to purchase small amounts at a time in cash.
Thanks guys.
If you shop and store some food at home, is that being unfaithful to God?
People aren’t preparing for potential problems because they want “salvation” or to live forever. It’s mere common sense.
“If you shop and store some food at home, is that being unfaithful to God?”
I’m reminded of Joseph and Pharoh’s dream with the seven fat cows and the seven skinny cows, etc. (Or whatever it was).
It is perhaps unfaithful to WORRY about the future, but I imagine there are also many verses about being prudent and planning, investing wisely (the parable of the talents), etc.
My old tagline was Ever Vigilant, Never Fearful.
