Prep Blog Review: Emergency Food Solutions

In case of any emergency you’ll either have to bug out with the (little) food you’ll be able to carry along or you’ll have to find solutions to grow, find or make your own along the way.

So this week we’ve gathered a lot of useful information on that topic, including how to make the best coffee on the go and in the wild! While you’re here make sure to drop me a line in the comments section if you have any useful tips or just want to say hi.

1. Raising Guinea Pigs for Food

“Now first let’s do the legal stuff, California’s anti-pet-eating law has a broad reach that may cover eating guinea pigs. The California law protects “any animal traditionally or commonly kept as a pet or companion,” rather than just Fido and Fluffy. The statute is somewhat untested, though, so no one really knows which animals are included.  I don’t know about other states, so I suggest you check in your area before you get in trouble.

Now I know that you have all seen the guinea pigs that our kids have kept for pets.  But I will bet that most of you don’t know that is some parts of the world they are regularly eaten and are considered delicious.”

2. Season 2 Episode 7 – An American Homestead – Milk and Honey

“This week on An American Homestead, it’s the land of milk and honey. We love our Raw Milk and we love our honey right fresh from the hive. We don’t yet produce these things on our homestead but there are homesteaders nearby that do. Let’s go see!”

3. Bugging Out With Perishable Foods

“Yeah, I know, even the idea initially sounds ludicrous. So, while we’re at it, let’s make some more wild assumptions.

Let’s say first of all that you have a secure secondary bug out location in mind and the means to set up some kind of overhead structure. Maybe you have a lake cabin, a camping trailer in the woods, or a pre-designated site to set up a tent. When a SHTF hits, you at least have somewhere to go. In practicality or reality, if you had to leave tomorrow, because of a flood coming, a hurricane, a leak at the local nuclear power plant or a chemical factory, what food would you take with you? ”

4. The Perfect Campfire Coffee!

“We are joined today by Dave Taylor, historical reenactor and expert cafelier. He blends his love for both coffee and history, and shows us how to make not only a perfect cup of coffee, but how to make it using a period-correct technique. It’s very eye-opening information!”

5. Super Low Maintenance Food Garden

“Whenever I talk to people about gardening, invariably I will hear someone say “I would love to garden but I just don’t have the time.”

I usually launch into my schpeel about how it is pretty much only the beginning and end of the growing season that is the busiest and, if done right, takes very little time during the peak of the season. Regardless of your skill level or area to work with, it is 100% possible to have a super low maintenance food garden.”
