Food Storage
Food Storage has many components to benefit you not only in an emergency, but also in your daily living. A smart food storage program includes much more than basic food staples only. Unless, your food storage includes all components and is saving you money daily, it is an inactive effort, sitting on the shelf.  It is important to learn how to make a food storage work for our everyday needs as well and save  us money. We use online videos to teach you these principles step-by-step.		 Emergency Preparedness
This is the “if” part of preparedness, and is often omitted or underestimated.  To prepare well for a disaster, we need to think thoroughly about the “Ifs” and the “Hows.”  How we will we live if...How will be protected if..., sheltered, clothed, cook, take care of the elderly, the sick, handicapped... in the event of a serious disaster.  This part of preparedness is where no short cut can be made, because lives will depend on it.  Equipment that we know how to use and is dependable is the core here. In this section we will teach, and continually teach you, using online videos, the processes and how to use the equipment involved in this preparation.		 Gardening

The garden is a vital part of an emergency preparedness plan. Even a small garden, well thought out, well cared for, can produce a large amount of produce. This can be stored, preserved, or otherwise shared with others. An herb garden can be brought indoors during winter in cold-weather regions. Many plants can be grown in pots as well. Learning a few principles can help you create produce that can extend into several months. These videos will be added to assist you in making your garden better.

We also invite you to join our SimplyLiveâ„¢ membership where we include a full series called The Practical Garden.
