I am a newly proclaimed survival prepper. I can’t say that
for the rest of the family just yet. I don’t think they have fully grasped my
ideas yet, but I am working on it! But keep in mind, I am just beginning. So
first things first!
Water. Water is the key ingredient for everything we do.
Keeping hydrated, watering crops, cooking, bathroom necessities, etc. All of
these are essential for a long term sustainment off the grid. There is anything
from purification tablets to filtration water bottles and for the bigger
projects, the systems that sit on your counter. I am opting for a galvanized
well bucket and some 55 gallon, BPA free and food safe, water system. It comes with
the barrel, siphon Pump, bung wrench and water treatment solution. If
you need more barrels after you buy the initial kit, you can go to the Shelf
Reliance website and buy the barrel and water treatment tablets..
I also have the added challenge of being gluten free. Costco
has the freeze dried Shelf Reliance Thrive brand of survival foods that are gluten
free, but what about the other stuff? For those of you with Celiac’s, I am
talking about lotions, shampoos, conditioners, etc. According to
Glutenfree-lifstyle.com, there are tons of products that are readily available
for your use. And they are good for survival kits too. Why should you be
without? Pack enough for the whole family and you won’t have to worry about it.
This even gets into paper products. Who knew? Bounty,
Charmin and Puffs are all gluten free. Georgia Pacific products have gluten in
the adhesive, but not the other parts of the product. Cottonelle and Viva
towels are the same way, but I couldn’t find anything on the cardboard. You can stock up on this stuff for the rest of
the family and they will be none the wiser.
I have started a list of gluten free products to research to put on the
website www.4theglutenfreefamily.com.
I will start publishing the list as soon as I get confirmation from the company
that their product is gluten free.
Happy Eating Everyone!
