Food Storage for Self-Sufficiency and Survival: The Essential Guide for Family Preparedness

Just getting started building a pantry? This is the book for you! The author, Angela Paskett has created a well written, comprehensive guide that answers every question you could possibly think of regarding food storage. There's advice on what types of food you should pack in an emergency kit, how to figure out how much to store in your pantry for both long and short term emergencies, and recommendations for the best places to store it. The book includes information on water storage, step-by-step instructions for canning, dehydrating tips, packing suggestions and I loved the section on sustainable food storage which covers everything from gardening to raising animals to hunting and fishing.I can’t stress it enough. This is a must have book for food storage beginners. It will become your go-to reference over and over again. Personally, I’m such a fan of Angela’s book that I’ve ordered a few more to give out to friends.

This is a great book for beginning as well as more experienced people interested in food storage. Very well written; easy to read and understand. So many common sense suggestions with respect to planning and organizing your approach to food and water storage. Really appreciated the work sheets in the back of the book to help with organizing your storage. The section on using your food storage definitely brought some things forward I had not thought about before reading the book. I plan to buy more copies of this book as birthday gifts for various members of my family this year. Everyone should know how this is done and why it just makes good sense to store food - period!

Considering all that is happening in the world today with most of our crops not being planted due to the in line lakes all over the United States bread basket also known as the mid West it is smart to start learning how to preserve fresh foods and dried foods properly to keep yourself and your family and friends from getting sick and/or dying from improper storage.If you do not store your food correctly as the FDA says there are many diseases such as botulism and certain molds that can kill you but are even more dangerous to childrenI recommend this book and others like it for everybody who's responsible for feeding their families. I would also recommend getting a book on wild edibles because if there is a time when the grocery store shelves go bare you're gonna have to know what is OK to eat and what is not and there are some plants out there where only the tuber is Edible and not the plant or vice a versa.This book would be greatly paired with a wild edible book and also even better would be pairing it with various size jars and lids as well as a book on canning, a pressure canner and a sealer with plenty of bags or roles of bags you can size yourself. There are also buckets 5 and 6 gallon buckets but you must remember to also add my large bags to this to keep out air which can make things go rancid or amoled and to keep out insects.I hope this will post because it's very important that we all start learning how to take care of ourselves especially with the earthquakes in California and along the West Coast as well as the dire situation our farmers are having in the Midwest.I wish you all the best of luck and thank the seller for selling such a great book

Love this book! So informative and learning so many things I had no idea about! Great investment!!

Great way to understand what is out there and how to best plan for your family for emergencies. Whether for short term or long term emergencies.

I would highly recommend this book for people and families that are just starting out on the road to preparation and food storage. A very up front, no non sense guide for folks.Excellent book for beginners who are beginning their own pantries for food storage in case of financial crisis, loss on job, health related issues, natural crisis and other problems that may arise. This book covers home canning, food dehydration, long term food storage and provides some wonderful on line links for supplies and such and other areas of preparation and food storage....

just like so many other books on this subject

Pretty decent explanations and clear to read.

Great

This book provides a good effort but I would say that the quality of the information provided is not as good as it could be. I would not recommend it to anybody
