Whoa, nice find OP.

i sure hope so, mine included...

my goal is to be able to be self sufficient and have a safe haven for others that need help.

ok a blast from the past in this thread

Thread: Survival Shelters, Survival Needs, ETC.

now thats what i call a great find!!!

Canning is intimidating when you first start. I'd advise finding someone who is very practised to oversee your first few efforts-check with churches and the co operative extension service. Once you get the hang of it, you can tackle the more challenging food items.

I pressure and water bath can, dehydrate, salt, smoke, and so forth and have been for years.

My advice-first and foremost-is: Do not cut corners! Follow directions exactly, never ever trim processing times. You cannot know by looking at the contents whether they contain lethal amounts of botulism. Be careful with very old recipes unless you trust the source completely-check them against modern methods-I have even seen some that say you can process in a dishwasher, for crying out loud, lol Not!

I typically process four to six hundred jars over the course of a year. That includes jams, jellies, BBQ sauces and whatnot too.

Thought I'd add a little humor. Be back later today.
Have fun!

Amen to this AC. I hope I didn't make canning out to be something done haphazardly. I was only trying to stress that it isn't all that difficult to learn. I've seen way too many younger folks give up just because their first attempt didn't produce 100% results. Years ago when I decided to become more self reliant, I was flying by the seat of my pants. The "back to the land" movement was just getting geared up. The "ancient ones", the 60+yr.olds, looked at you like you were nuts if you asked questions about canning, dressing out a hog,ect. You pretty much had to do things by trial and error. I finally discovered that you had to find your answers from the really old rural "poor" folks.
4-6 hundred jars a season! Do you sleep only in the winter? Much respect. Do you by any miracle have good reciepe for pickling fish?

For the OP, hope I don't get banned for posting the link, I'm sure many here could use this.

thanks for that advice, i have always been intimidated by canning, its the reason i have never tried it. however i do need to give this a try.

their is going to come a day either in my lifetime or my daughters that this kind of information is going to be needed. one way or the other we are going to have it so that we are not a burdon but an asset in the future.

i'm not sure why you think you would get banned..
great info on there.. thank you!!!

another link for anyone that doesn't have much land. if you think you can't support yourself think again. you would be surprised what you can do with a small parcel of land.

I'm still trying to find an entire CD's worth of useful material.

Good post, OP, too.

:)

"Page not found"???

Nothing but an ad for "Resident moving for students" service.

Also a mention of "Skin Perfect University".

What about "How to wipe your ass without toiletpaper University"?

This seems to be the idea exactly.

And look what Facebook has mutated into, 11 years later.
