[quote:darth:MV8zOTYyNTk1XzczNTQzODc3XzJCNTgzQUU4] [quote:Windsage:MV8zOTYyNTk1XzczNTQzNjk2X0M4NDIwQUZB] [quote:Pooka:MV8zOTYyNTk1XzczNTQzMDExXzlBNzI2OUUz] [quote:Windsage:MV8zOTYyNTk1XzczNTM5NjYzX0UyMkRERUNF] My favorite instant coffee is Mount Hagen organic. It's about $0.16 a serving and I always buy organic when possible. Found this link describing "best" instant coffees - it has some good options: https://www.drippedcoffee.com/best-instant-coffee/ Just saw your question from last week about growing Provider green beans in containers. I do believe it would work really well, as their size and shape is similar to a house plant. They need no support and won't trail or vine. Must have enough sun, though! [/quote] Thank you, Windsage, for the coffee link! We do have our priorities, especially first thing in the morning! So perhaps the beans would be happy in a two or two and a half gallon size bucket rather than a five gallon? That would be helpful indeed. I'm anxious to get them into soil and watch the progress. [/quote] I would think so, as long as the soil is good. And don't over-water as there is no drainage in a bucket. [/quote] These work better: https://www.discountmylarbags.com/ http://mylarbagsdirect.com/ I think that last one is the supplier I have used the most. Small Biz Idea: How about packaging wheat, powdered milk, pasta, etc. in these bags using a Food Saver or other vacuum sealer machine? Then, sell locally at swap meet or via Craigs L. with small markup. The only competitors are Sams Club selling buckets of freeze dries. I put my mylar bags full of grain, etc. with oxygen absorbers inside food grade plastic pails. My grandkids will be able to pass that food down to their kids...unless SHTF sooner. Just have to store most products in climate controlled area, i.e., your closet or under your bed. BTW, the shorter buckets (2.5 gal) can fit under the bed. Just arrange enough buckets to eliminate the bed frame or elevate it on bricks if necessary. You could have a years supply of food under a bed and no one knows as long as you cover it. Can you tell I have been doing this prepper stuff for over 40 years? [/quote]

Continuation of another thread of wonderful people with the best ever ideas for practical prepping even for those with little money.
We discuss power outages including CME and EMP, heating and cooking methods, first aid, foods; we run disaster scenarios to see if we know what to do.
This is probably the only prepping thread a person would need, whether long-time prepper here to share, or newbie prepper here to learn and everyone in between.
Welcome!! Join us! Learn! Teach! Enjoy!!
