Now to start out many of you know that there has been some problems with the Berkey filters allowing unfiltered water to leak through the bases. Well I tested mine over last weekend and they pasted with FLYING COLORS! I used cherry Koolaide mix and poured it into the filter. I was very please not only was there not a hit of red coloring there was absoultly no cherry flavor or order to the filter water. So test to make sure, but it seems not every filter has the problem.

Top off your gasoline supply now before prices get too high. Don’t forget to add stabilizer.

This Ohio company sells to the Amish. Everything I’ve bought is good quality, good prices. While some of their oil lamps are Chinese, w/ equivalent prices, most of the merchandise is made in USA, some by the Amish.

Does anyone here have experience with solar photovoltaic roofing shingles?

Do they work as well as advertised?

I just ate napolitos with scrambled egg. I wasn’t sure I would like them but they are okay and I know where millions of prickly pear cactus live.

I’ve been running gasoline through the food dehydrator. I have several coffee cans full of powdered gas now.

I'm still finding 25 pound bags of Wheat Montana at my local Walmart. They are still under $13.00. On the down side, the Walmart bakery is no longer giving away buckets. Out of curiousity, how many oxygen absorbers do you use per bucket? I ordered Mylar bags to fit a five gallon bucket and they came with the exact same amount of absorbers as bags. I assumed one absorber per bag, but I'd like to make sure by asking a pro like you.
