Excellent site for canning/freezing/drying

I do believe we're going to see much more on self-sufficiency in the next year or so.

Great site, alyscat.

Here's a handy gadget that can extend storage life when drying or refrigerating food.

www.pump-n-seal.com

This is an inexpensive manual version of the Tilia Food Saver and similar products. Probably not as easy to use but the price is right. I just received mine an hour ago and have yet to try it. Would like to hear from anyone who has used it . You can watch the video on the website.

And for Canadians reading this post:

www.costco.ca offer MRE's, one week's supply per unit with heaters included. Located in the fine foods category. Free shipping whereas ordering from the U.S. would mean a hefty shipping fee. The box is quite heavy.
