One of my favorite Ontario preppers, Cam & Michelle  Mather runs a  self sufficient (or close at least) farm generating their own electricity, growing their own food, and generating their own income.  A few times a year, they offer a workshop at their farm called the Living Sustainably and Independently, Ready for Rough Times, Hands-On,…

Well – I’ve had a year to use my All American canners and I am ready to give a review!  I bought my All American’s at Lehman’s on a trip to the States last year.  I’ve had a 23 quart Presto for many years so after that much time I have some opinions!Each time I bought a…

It’s time for my annual challenge to EAT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FREEZER.  This is a challenge I look forward to this every year.  You can read the post I wrote last year about this event.  It’s always fun and it’s a great way to force yourself to use up the bits and pieces that accumulate…

Another year.  Another chance to start over with a brand new page on a new calendar and another chance for most of the world to make those pesky New Years Resolutions.  I don’t do New Years Resolutions because although I enjoy the clean-slate-fresh-start-excitement of it all I have failed too many times.  My resolutions tended…

Happy New Year everyone and congratulations on another year of prepping. Our numbers are growing and that is a wonderful thing.
