Gardening
This a photo of my indoor garden, we first started growing indoors in February of this year, we started with tomato plants, green peppers and onions. In April we started growing Sunflowers and a few other microgreens. We were unsuccessful with the sunflower plants but the other vegetables are blooming and growing beautifully and it is now August.
Food Preservation
Another thing I like to do is shop in bulk, each month I pick up a few items for my survival stockpile that have long shelf life. This Food Saver is perfect for helping seal and keep your food fresh for longer periods of time. You can extend the life of your foods by freezing them after sealing with the Food Saver.
This is an example of a few long term food items I've picked up to keep in our stockpile. These Macaroni noodles are a great source of carbohydrates and energy your body will need during a SHTF event. You can store them in mason jars(with oxygen absorbers) or Mylar bags inside of a food grade bucket from lowes.
