I rather enjoyed this article on Food Storage for 30 Days where a guy was tasked with providing two adult males with enough food to feed them for about two weeks (hence, the 30 days reference). I guess the engineer in me just likes the math and planning involved… oh, and he used a spreadsheet, I’m drooling now. Fortunately, there’s no calculus involved… never could understand that stuff.

This inverter is one that Steven Harris of Solar1234.com recommends as being a viable option for powering a refrigerator if the power goes out. And, to be honest, that’s the sole reason why I choose to purchase it as I have no other major appliance that I feel MUST be powered during a grid-down situation. That said, I could have procured a larger inverter to power more appliances but I figured I should take Mr. Harris’ word for it and not get greedy. Likewise, he also stated that

I figured I would spend this week (three total posts) talking about OPSEC concerns. We need to have a plan on how to minimize the ability of others (the bad guys) of detecting our presence as much as possible. In particular, we need to consider our three most important senses: sight, hearing, and smell. Today we’ll focus on sight.
The ability of humans to see things like movement and light are pretty darn good. Sure, we’re not as capable as a cat in the dead of night but humans don’t need to be

Here we are on the final week of this experiment and, to be honest, I’m glad it’s coming to an end. Here’s the egg (it didn’t float or smell weird):
And here it is cooking (the yolk/membrane broke down without me doing anything):
As with last week, I choose to eat it as an egg sandwich but I decided to make sure it was WELL cooked:

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about making more and more of my own supplies. While I’ve made things like toothpaste, deodorant, laundry detergent, and a few other cleaning products in the past, I’ve been contemplating going “all in” if you will, and attempting to make as much as I can. My reasoning is for cost savings, healthier products, and maybe just because I can.
The question here today is: does this make sense from a preparedness stand point? As an example, should I be stockpiling a
