oldschool · 2012-05-22T05:39:09Z

Hello All,I thought I should do a summary for the meet due to the size of the thread.The meet is June 2nd at Hidden Valley Park in Burlington, Ontario. Time -- 11:00am to 6:00pm (actually the permit is from 10:00am to 6:00pm)Theme -- foodEveryone is welcome except for the media.BYOP (Bring your own PREP!)Wouldn't this be a great chance to get that stuff out of your car kit for a test run?You know, fire up (and show off) your emergency stove, dig in to your stores for those soup, iced tea mixes and hot chocolate packs?Rotate out that water for a fresh batch?The few things that you most likely should bring, if you have them are:a chair - the folding kind are good. There may not be enough picnic tablessomething for yourself go drink- no beer, wine that kind of thingsomething to eat - for yourself but if you make, dry, -if you feel like bringing some go sharequestions if there is something that you would like to show - like a cook stove, hobo stove, really anything dealing with foodRanger2012 will be doing a demonstration on how to build a solar oven.Justabear will be bringing the tinfoil for it.My ex will be bringing the boxesI will be bringing the hangers and glass.Secret June Santa - one small item under $20.00 put is a plain non see through bag or container to give.

The Russell Williams Restaraunt is a great place.. good food, attractively priced and you will be full when you leave.

I'm thinking of bringing some Mylar bags to the June 2nd meet.
10" x 12" - 30 cents each
12" x 18" - 40 cents each.

Anyone want any?

I seal them with my regular clothes iron. Run a hot iron along the edge you want to seal, and you're done!

Hot iron like Greenguy said or....a hair straitening iron....lots of videos on youtube show both methods.

I'm the lady you're stuck behind in the grocery store with the over loaded cart filled with cases of tuna, peanut butter, huge bags of rice and the weary looking husband

Husbandface says he may not be going to his out of town golf event on Saturday because of the impending rain....so seeing how we're close to Burlington...there is a slight chance of us attending after all.

If we can come I will try to remember to bring some of my dried pineapple/oranges/shredded carrots to share around and people can sample.

So Greenguy and Ratdogmom, do you think one could make their own mylar bags from Dollarstore 'Emergency blankets' (mylar like) in any size by just sealing all the edges ??? Just a thought....

Hi PrepHer,
I don't know whether you can make mylar bags from those blankets. I guess if they're cheap enough you could just try it? I myself wouldn't do it, as the mylar bags we use are double walled and designed for food storage. Heck, I won't even eat candy from the dollar store. It's all made in China and full of extra chemicals.

LOL I hear ya - I always check where food from the Dollarstore is made and I stay away from anything from China. I was thinking that I would just store pre-wrapped stuff like rice and beans in it. But you have a good point about transfer of 'chemicals'.....I'll have to consider that. Thanks

I am looking forward to meeting you all and exchanging lots of ideas.
Food, herbs and natural cures are my passion... and yes...my livelihood!

I have prepared a few notes on an easy prepare radiation protocol should TSHTF
along with some show and tell food items that are nutritionally dense.

Looks like this will be lots of fun...hope the rain stays away...

Grouchy...love that genny. You got some nice welding skills!
Just one question...what is that you are using for a mufler and how well does it work?
Had to run my Champion 6800w for a couple hours this morning and would love to find a cheap muffler for it.
