Freeze Dried vs Dehydrated

Perhaps you have heard the term Freeze Dried when someone has told you about food storage options. Here is a diagram to show the process of Freeze Dried foods. The difference is that in Dehydrated foods, there are preservatives added to the food to help it last longer, thus losing nutrient. The advantage to Freeze Dried food is that the nutritional value is still there. Our kids LOVE freeze dried peaches, and pineapple. We use the blueberries and strawberries to make syrup for pancakes

Generator


Winter is coming, and there have been plenty of storms that have effected people already this year. One of our family friends back east reported they were without power/heat for 2 days. Thankfully they had some friends that were able to put our friends up during the frigid temps. It got me thinking, how am I prepared for power outages? Shelf Reliance has some great tools available for Emergency Preparedness situations. I found this generator for $144.53 that I will be adding to my wish list of things to get.

This eight-in-one portable generator was developed for multi-situational use. Features include a 600 AMP auto jump starter, a 1.5 foot high-pressure air compressor, a 400 watt AC power inverter, an AM/FM radio, a USB power port, an iPod input socket, a DC power outlet, and a 5 LED flashlight. This rugged machine can power anything including laptops, fax machines, and cell phones. The AC outlets also allow for electricity in any location.

The Power Dome takes about 36 hours to fully charge. Once charged, this generator can power all of our electronic needs for hours of use. It comes with both a wall charger and a car charger.

This portable generator can be used in conjunction with any emergency supply plan. Also consider keeping one in your 72-hour and automobile emergency kits.

* 12 volt DC socket
* Battery status button

* Charging jack and indicator
* iPod audio input socket
* AM/FM radio
