I never could understand on this forum how all the men folk would carry on about FLASHLIGHTS.
I thought "what's the big deal?"
I recently decided to get an "upgraded flashlight". Had 2 tiny ones in my kitchen junk drawer.
Bought a RECHOO LED S2000 Super Bright. Holly Cow! I'm having fun!

I don't know if this will help the life of my baking soda, but I vacuum sealed the containers in mason jars. I don't use it much and I do have a supply of baking soda and cream of tarter.Baking powder doesn't keep well as a long term prep item. But its made from individual ingredients that do keep "forever" if kept cool and dry (airtight).
1 part baking soda to 2 parts cream of tartar.
If you want to make a batch to keep for a month or two add a teaspoon of cornstarch to absorb moisture and prevent caking. Otherwise just combine the baking soda and cream of tartar as needed.
I would store large amounts of them airtight and dry, and put a smaller "monthly use" amount of each in a small spice jar so you don't have to expose the larger amounts to the air and moisture too often.
Both are cheap, and if you store pounds of each, could be a good barter item. Combine some and barter as baking powder.
I bought a bunch of unopened #10 can dry food cases years ago at an auction, for a good price, beans, rice, wheat etc... the only can that is bulging is a can of baking powder. So, it deteriorated, unopened. The rest I will use for barter, or they are my very last eat or starve scenario.A BYU study found that baking powder from unopened cans has a virtually indefinite shelf-life. It is only when the container is opened that baking powder begins to deteriorate.
Baking Essentials--Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Cream of Tartar and Yeast
True, but the newer cans are aluminum coated cardboard, and they *dont* last like the old sealed metal ones did. I buy baking powder in bulk and vacuum seal in 1/2 pint jars. It does last indefinitely that way.A BYU study found that baking powder from unopened cans has a virtually indefinite shelf-life. It is only when the container is opened that baking powder begins to deteriorate.

The only thing we ever lost in our LTS was #10 cans of pancake mix and biscuit mix!

Ok, but remember, you asked.
The links below are to articles I've written and posted on my blog.

At the bottom of most articles are links to related articles. If you liked them, I'd suggest going next to the articles on Benadryl. And keep in mind, I'm not a doctor, this is all for entertainment, standard disclaimer stuff.
Auto tires with inner tubes went away some time between 1955 and the mid 1980s.
Thanks for that! What a treasurehouse of info!Prep School Daily is my first stop in the morning to see the daily "tip" - got today's sugardyne use in my database - - I regular link back to Prep School on postings to other prep sites - good info
Those things are retina burners!I never could understand on this forum how all the men folk would carry on about FLASHLIGHTS.

Oh, and store rubber bands and garden hose washers in glass jars, too.
I have an old 4br house, am widowed now. Unused bedrooms make great pantry and prep rooms.
Dont forget Adult Diapers / or "pull ups" / poise pads for those that are care givers to the fecal or urine incontinent. The price is sky rocketing and they will become unavailable!
Making and changing, and WASHING 2 a day (minimum ) DIAPERS FOR ADULTS is not something you want to have to do !I Think 365 X 2 a day= minimum 730 diapers/pull ups for 1 year care giving for the incontinent.
I watched a Mercedes Benz drive up a 200 ft sand dune in Saudi Arabia. Down there, they drive with low inflated tires across the famous Rub al Khali sand dune desert in the South of Saudi, also know as the Empty Zone.The mention above about the 'tire grippy zip ties' made me remember something I think will be useful for you all. Way back when I was a 'young'un', I got my car stuck in deep sand...and I do mean 'stuck' and 'deep'. Spent the night sleeping in the car. The fellow I took home, woke me up the next morning and told me a simple way I could have gotten unstuck in just a few minutes. All I had to do was let a good amount of air out of the tires...and they'd have rode up on top of the sand...and I'd have been able to sleep in my bed instead. By letting the air out of the tires, it let them make a 'larger, wider print'...sort of like snowshoes does for walking on snow. Just be sure to get the tires aired back up as soon as you can.
Grampa always had a barber’s razor strap hanging in the back kitchen.A piece of red clay brick can be used to sharpen an ax or hatchet. And just a plain, regular leather belt can be used to hone a knife. That 'grit paste' may make it work faster and/or better, but it's not really necessary. As my Dad taught me, about 5 decades ago, "If it'll dull a knife; it'll sharpen a knife". I've got a small piece of pine 2X4 setting next to my computer so I can sharpen my knife to razor sharpness. Oh and when sharpening/stropping a knife, roll the blade over on its back, not the 'cutting edge'. Without realizing it, when you end the stroke and lift the blade from the whetrock, you roll the edge off of it.
FYI at walmart where they keep the gas cans. They have siphons. Better than getting a mouth full of gas.Don’t forget some kind of hose or siphon for gas
None of my hose nozzles are working today and I had no backup. Mz prepper really fell down on the job. So ordered 4 on Amazon this morning.

Tell me about the freaking things.And speaking of gas cans, those things are getting freaking expensive. We keep having to replace one here or there over this last year as they were all getting old and starting to split from heavy usage over at least a ten year period. Places where the things are over $20 these days. So if you have a good one, treat it kindly and always keep a spare on hand.
Same for water carrying/storing containers.
