Instant Potato Soup Mix

2011-04-08T11:41:00.002-04:00

Today I decided to do some experiments with my favorite types of foods – Instant. I choose to create some dehydrated instant Potato soup mix. This is great for when cool afternoons or rainy days approach. It is always a good time to make a pot of homemade soup which is especially a popular meal with the men in your life whether they are your 12 years old sons or your thirty some year old husband. In many cases a dehydrated version of soups can be created in the event that fresh products are not available at the market place. This situation could result from a major national emergency such as hurricanes or floods which would prevent the supply trucks from arriving at their destination. With our instant soup recipe all you will need to do is open the jar and pour the contents into a medium pot of hot, boiling water.

The following recipe will make enough soup for 12 servings therefore you could perhaps invite a neighbor in for a mealtime treat. This affords you the opportunity to show your friends and family how simple and inviting a sufficient food storage program can be. When saving up your family food supplies always remember to store what you eat and eat what you store.

Ingredients

1/4 cup of granules of chicken bouillon

3 cups of instant mashed potato flakes

2 tablespoons of dry minced onions

1 teaspoon of black pepper

1 tablespoon of dry parsley flakes

1/2 tablespoon of dill weed

1/2 teaspoon of thyme

1 cup of instant milk

1 teaspoon of turmeric

1/8 cup of crushed bacon bits

Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl except for the bacon bits. In your food processor or by hand grind up the bacon bits until they appear crumbled up. This will allow them to combine with the other ingredients better.

After crumbling up the bacon bits add them to the mixture and stir well until they are evenly mixed with the other products.

Package the final product in quart jars and place an oxygen absorber in each. The jars of potato soup should store nicely for at least eight to ten years.

To use this recipe take 12 cups of water and bring to a rapid boil. Add the dry mixture and lower the heat to a simmer. Allow to cook for 20 minutes until all ingredients are tender.

You can add some variety to the above recipe by adding some canned or dehydrate ham to the initial ingredients. Serve with a sprig of parsley if available or top with some fresh sliced onions, in either case serve with croutons or in our case fresh homemade Italian bread. Hope you enjoy it.

More Ground Beef and Tomato Powder

2011-03-21T13:13:00.002-04:00

Well today was another day for dehydrating ground beef and Tomato sauce. In case anyone missed the procedure for tomato sauce I have outlined it below. Believe me it saves a lot of space. The final product comes out similar to the commercial instant tomato sauces known as “Mrs. Wages”.

The key to dehydrated tomato sauce lies in first creating tomato sauce leathers. These are essentially the same thing as fruit leathers but made from a vegetable such as in this case tomatoes.

To make your tomato sauce leathers you will start with your favorite tomato sauce whether it is handmade or out of a jar which you purchased from the local grocery store. For our sauce we selected “Classico” variety which is readily available at Wal-Mart’s or any good well stocked grocery store. If additions such as mushrooms, meat chunks, etc are desired in the final product you should consider adding them during the re-hydration stage.

Since my wife prefers to use an oven over our dehydrator I would recommend you set your oven to its lowest setting possible. In my case our ovens lowest operating temperature was 170 degrees. Spread the tomato sauce mixture one fourth inch deep onto a cookie tray. Getting the tomato sauce level will be the most difficult part of this process. After spreading the sauce on the tray the best way to level it out is to gently tap the tray on the counter. This will smooth its contents and give an even distribution.

Dehydrate your tomato sauce for approximately eight hours. Be sure when using your oven that you prop open the oven door slightly to allow moisture to escape. In about four hours the sauce should be solid enough so that you can flip it over for the duration of the project. The start time was not critical for me since someone is usually up at all hours throughout the night in my home. I might be up writing or my wife may be awake and browsing around the internet. Your finished product should have the consistency of leather and should be dry to the touch.

Once your dehydrating is completed allow the sauce leathers to cool and than break them into small chunks. Next place the chunks in your freezer for approximately one hour. At the end of that hour put the leather chunks into your blender or food processor and grind it into a fine powder. The resultant powder will have the same texture as your common powdered sugar and like your sugar it does not do well with high humidity. When storing this product choose pint canning jars. Fill the jar to within one half inch of the top and place an oxygen absorber in it. After closing the jar lid will seal and remove all traces of air.

You can readily use your dried tomato sauce in just about any type of dish where tomato sauce would be used. For long term storage this product will last for a minimum of five years and likely much longer. When it comes time to make that spaghetti dinner simply combine one half cup of hot water to three tablespoons of the dehydrated powder and you will once again have your spaghetti sauce. Too little powder will result in a very runny sauce.
Here is a recipe that you could use with your newly made tomato sauce powder.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons of dehydrated tomato powder
½ cup of water
3 teaspoons of olive oil
2 teaspoons of onion powder
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of dried basil
1 teaspoon of sugar
½ teaspoon of dried oregano
½ teaspoon of black pepper
½ teaspoon of salt

Combine the above ingredients and simmer on a medium heat for 15 minutes.

Properly storing up your Pasta

2011-03-20T08:57:00.002-04:00

Here we go folks with another day of useful prepping for potential emergencies. Let’s take a moment and talk about bugs. Have you ever poured pasta into a pot of boiling water and noticed the abundance of tiny bugs floating atop the liquid? Have you ever stored up on pasta for any length of time and suddenly discovered that your product has frequently developed some unwanted guests? When this happens to you are you inquisitive as to where these little creatures come from and how you can effectively deal with them? This unnecessary waste of supplies can be avoided with a little bit of preparations beforehand.

During times of depression when food resources and available money was scarce families would often cook up the contaminated pasta and merely scoop out the floating bugs as they made their way to the surface. Granted, technically you could eat some of these tiny creatures without adverse effects but most American’s would frown upon the practice.

Grains are usually stored in farm silos and are apt to develop bug larvae infestations inside the final product. As the eggs from the bugs hatch we quickly discover that these types of bugs appear in just about anything from bags of rice, potato sacks, boxes of cake mix, even macaroni and cheese packages.

My wife and I had previously experienced the same problems and in order to combat these tiny creatures we initiated a procedure where all incoming pasta related products where subjected to the freezer for a period of twenty-four hours. Since the eggs are already present within our store bought pasta we needed to put an end to their life. This process will quickly halt the vermin’s life cycle. Don’t let anyone convince you that the bugs got into your pasta after you brought them home as they didn’t. They were in it when you purchase the packages. The fresh pasta never reveals any of the hidden creatures however as it begins to age and gets older the bug larvae is sufficiently incubated and the eggs start to hatch. It has been discovered that the eggs are in the product from the time the grains are harvested and merely waiting for the proper conditions to continue their life cycle.

Since we like to store up for the long term, my wife takes the pasta from the freezer after the twenty-four hour period and lets it dry out so it is not moist and than places it into quart or gallon jars. Along with the pasta she will deposit a bay leaf and an oxygen absorber. I have heard of some people using spearmint gum in the jar with the pasta however I do not suggest this unless you are fond of spearmint flavored pasta. By using the bay leaf there is no flavor imparted to your pasta products.

Pasta and related products should last a minimum of two to three years and perhaps even longer when stored in this manner.

Drying Ground Beef

2011-03-19T12:48:00.001-04:00

As I was wandering around on the internet I chanced upon a website (/www.canadianpreppersnetwork.com) where the writer was explaining how to dehydrate ground beef. My wife and I had previously toyed with the idea in the past but this time we decided to actually try it out.

My wife buys her ground beef in five pound packages and she had just made a meal for the family the night before and did not use all the beef that she had available. This was an excellent opportunity to try this dehydrating experiment.

She first started by chopping up and browning the ground beef in a cast iron skillet. After breaking up the meat into small pieces she added several cups of water to the mixture and heated it over a medium heat. She continued to chop and mix the beef until it was completely cooked.

When she started seeing fat developing in the water she would move the meat into a colander and than run hot water over it. This process will clean off the extra grease which has separated from the meat.

Her next task was to again replace the meat into a cleaned skillet along with some fresh water and bring once again to a boil. As she noticed some fat develop in the liquid and appear on the top of the water she knew that a second rinsing was in order. She drained this again as she had done previously with the colander and rinsed it under hot water.

She repeated this process three times until there was no longer any grease appearing. Since she generally purchases the better quality ground beef she has much less fat than would be expected. After the last boiling she allowed the beef to drain well in the colander until it was dry to the touch.

Although she could very well have used the dehydrator to dry the meat she decided to employ the oven for the process instead. She spread the drained beef onto a non stick cookie sheet and placed it into a 200 degree oven. Times will vary greatly from oven to oven and from one batch to the next but usually the drying time will be between 6 and 8 hours.

As the completion time approaches the beef should give a dried appearance similar to gravel but extremely hard. She next took the final dehydrated ground beef and placed it in a sterilized mason jar along with an oxygen absorber to remove all traces of air from within. Our estimate is that with the oxygen absorber in place the product should be good for several years if stored in a dark, cool location.

To rehydrate this product you will merely need to add water and wait a few minutes for it to absorb the liquid. You can speed up the process with heat if you plan to mix it with other foods.

My wife did not add any spices to the beef when she was dehydrating it but wanted a more universal product that could be used for a variety of beef dishes. The flavorings can be included when the ground beef is rehydrated. You now have a dehydrated ground beef product that should relieve some of the worry from losing electricity during emergency times. If you try this procedure let us know how it came out for you.

Solar Conversion of our Homestead

2011-03-09T10:52:00.002-05:00

Hi everyone,

As the time begins to draw closer for our move to the homestead, I find myself thinking about the various projects which lie ahead for me. We have the fruit trees to plant, a garden to start along with a host of addition important functions to get accomplished. One of my initial goals will be to get a 12 volt lighting system installed which will operate from rechargeable batteries.

These systems are not new in the least and have been in use with the recreational industry for decades. I experienced the systems first hand often in the past and actually had the opportunity to use them for an extended length of time a year or two ago when I initiated a six month long bug out exercise. With the new LED lighting systems out today the intensity of the lights have been drastically improved while battery drain has been decreased.

My goal is to establish initially two separate electrical systems which can compliment each other. The first system will operate as it usually would in any home – from the 120 volt input line voltage. The second electrical system will operate the lights and perhaps a few appliances if necessary. This will be the battery operated system with charging being accomplished by a solar cell collection.

This at first sounds pretty great with having two systems connected – a prime along with a backup but let’s remember the ultimate idea is to remove the family from the 120 volt electrical requirement eventually.

My cost estimate for this retrofit of my home electrical system is approximately $800.00 which includes about $200 for the materials and supplies to complete the installation and $600 for the solar cells themselves. Since I am an old and decrepit man these days I have spread the project out over a short period of time and broke it down into several phases.

At the conclusion of phase one, I should be able to have about a two day supply of 12 volt power running into the home which will permit me to operate several small appliances if necessary. It is hoped that if everything comes out as expected I will be able to use my laptop, operate all the lights and perhaps use a small microwave without placing a demand on the commercial electrical supply.

Phase two will be the actual installation of the solar cell system to recharge the battery banks sufficiently.

Materials necessary for phase one will initially include

* Two deep cycle marine batteries.

* One 1,000 watt inverter to change the battery power to our common 120 household AC. * Necessary power cables and house wiring needed to complete the installation.

A small building will house the batteries and the associated equipment during phase one and the solar system will mount on the roof of that building during phase two. This will keep the equipment and the batteries away from the elements and allow me to expand the number of deep cycles connected to the system slowly over a period of time.

Connecting the batteries together and into the system is a simple matter. We merely need to connect the two batteries to each other with a short cable. It is best for future maintenance and troubleshooting to employ a standard color code system as the project progresses. In this case, we will connect red power cables to the positive terminals of the batteries and black ones to the negative terminals. This type of connection is referred to as a parallel connection and affords your system greater current capacity then would the usual series connections.

Next, we would need to connect the batteries to the 1000 watt inverter. Once again the red cable will connect to the positive terminal of the other battery as well as to the positive connection of the inverter. Similarly the black cable will connect from the negative battery terminal to the inverters negative connection.

All that is left would be to connect the battery system to the installed 12 volt lighting wires that have been installed inside the home. That is actually the most time consuming part of the complete project. Before we close this phase I would like to stress a few safety hints to those who may be planning to perform the same modifications to their homes.

Make sure that you protect your system by having a series of 12 volt fuses placed in line. My intent is to use a Plexiglas panel and install the fuses on it sort of a rack mount fuse array. Connect your fuses to the positive or red cable side of the system.

The same will apply to your inverter in the event that it has no fuse already in place. Put a 110-amp Class T fuse into the red or positive cable line between your battery packs and the inverter itself. Keep in mind this fuse is a special type of DC fuse and not your usual AC variety. For safety sake nothing would prevent you from installing an AC fuse on the opposite side of your inverter as well.

If you have a considerable distance for your cables to travel consider heavier cables. Always remember that the longer your cables are the heavier wire will be needed. Longer cables often experience voltage drops. Thin cables tend to get hotter then the thicker ones do. In most cases a number 14-ga should do the trick.

You may also wish to install a good grounding rod to prevent unforeseen problems. RV’s generally do not have an external ground but it is better to be safe than sorry.

You may spend a few dollars more when purchasing an inverter but try to get one with a low-voltage warning light and a low-voltage automatic disconnect (LVD) in order to shut off the power to the inverter in the event that the battery voltage reaches a dangerously low level. If you deplete your batteries too much they tend to become damaged and their life is drastically shortened.

When selecting your batteries you should purchase the marine deep-cycle types and not the regular automotive batteries. They cost more but are better for our purpose here. The difference in the batteries is that the usual auto type batteries are used primarily to start your car and then sit idle as it is charged whereas the deep cycle versions are made to run for hours at a time.

You should be able to run your laptop, a small microwave and a 70 watt lamp at the same time on this system. As you can readily tell I will have to add greatly to the starter system in order to be able to function as a normal home.

During our phase two project I will be adding the necessary solar panel and its associated charge controller to the system. A charge controller will control the amount of power going into our battery banks and keep it at a measured amount. It also ensures that our solar cells do not take the energy back out of the batteries. These too will have additional panels installed as we progress in our challenge here.

I expect to start the phase one work in the spring or possibly early summer.

Garbage Gardening - Cherries

2011-03-01T00:51:00.002-05:00

Hello everyone. I felt like doing some of my famous “Garbage Gardening” today and decided to grow a few Cherry trees from some store bought cherries. The Cherries were sitting in the fridge and I felt that I just had to do something constructive with them. I know before everyone jumps up and down proclaiming that I can’t successfully grow cherries from the pits, I always try anyway. They do however make some interesting and unique houseplants as they start to grow and who knows I might even get lucky and get a cherry or two from it.

I took the time to write up a short article on the process necessary to grow cherry trees from the pits just in case anyone is interested. The URL is:

Sprouting Tray

2011-02-28T06:30:00.004-05:00

We traveled to Philadelphia yesterday to attend a meet-up seminar on “How to grow your own food in small spaces.” It was a very interesting session. One of the topics that were discussed was sprouting seeds for eating. As the speaker talked about the subject a sprouting tray was passed around the room.

This Kitchen Seed Sprouter consisted of three different trays so that you could raise several different flavored sprouts at once. The unit resembled the older plastic canister sets from years past. I was so impressed with it that I intend to order two of them for our use. If anyone else is interested in this unique item I have found them at the following website:

Welcome to My New World

2011-02-27T12:02:00.003-05:00

I have decided to reopen this blog but it will be more of a homestead journal than a rehash of my survival website material. Here I intend to relate my various actions, experiments and adventures in small acre self sufficiency. Within the next month or so we should be moving permanently to our country retreat and than the fun should begin. Winter will be over and spring right around the corner. I can't wait.

I've toyed with this idea for a long while now but wanted to hold off until we had something permanent to base our researches on. With our country relocation I look at this blog as a journal of our sum total activities relating to the homestead. I am retired so it affords me a lot of spare time to get things accomplished in the manner which my wife and I want it to be.

It's only a few acres but my goal is to show how effective a few acres can be when ones imagination is employed. During the months to come we can look forward to canning and dehydrating various foods, baking fresh bread and pastries along with raising our own crops and livestock. On occasion we will have some friendly get together meetings with like minded folks as well as various training classes.

So we invite you to visit us regularly and get an idea of what our life is becoming.

September 15, 2010 - "How Much Water is enough" By Joseph Parish. We frequently underestimate the proper quantities of water that we require in order to sustain life while bugging out.

2010-09-14T07:43:00.001-04:00

September 14, 2010 - "Getty-up and go with Pets in Tow" By Joseph Parish. Most people overlook their pets when developing their emergency evacuation strategy that is so vital during times of crisis. Then we have those who support what they consider a more practical approach and when the time arrives to depart they do just that – they leave while their loving pets get to fend for themselves. It doesn’t matter if the calamity is a wild fire, flood or hurricane the animals are habitually the last item pondered. Click here

Pets Get Heatstroke also

2010-09-10T15:56:00.001-04:00

2010-09-09T22:23:00.001-04:00

September 9, 2010 - "Eurosealer and the Survivalist" By Joseph Parish. We have all noticed them being sold on television commercials, those little Eurosealers which fit in the palm of your hand. They are frequently inexpensive in cost and appear to be something which every homemaker could make good use of. Being a survivalist and also being motivated by thriftiness, I had to try one. I found mine in one of the local kitchen stores, the kind that usually carries all sorts of trinkets for your home. Click here

Defining the Suicide Bomber

2010-09-07T23:03:00.001-04:00

September 7, 2010 - "Defining the Suicide Bomber" By Joseph Parish. In order to combat suicide bombers we must acclimatize ourselves to initially understand their temperament. These irrational human beings focus upon premeditated violence customarily motivated by political concerns. Frequently, the target group of people which these offenders seek out is noncombatant or civilian populations. We are looking at a mentality which deems their ultimate death as a major precondition towards a successful mission. Click here

Prevention and Response to Suicide Bombing Incidents

2010-09-06T00:48:00.001-04:00

September 6, 2010 - "Prevention and Response to Suicide Bombing Incidents" By Joseph Parish. We have taken note of these criminals on the evening newscasts and read of their evil exploits in the morning newspaper, but how much do we actually comprehend pertaining to terrorist suicide bombers? If you’re like I was the answer is likely to be “very little.” These categories of people are extremely dangerous and unpredictable since they have no objections to dying for what they deem a just cause. As survivalists we should be more attentive towards how to determine what these criminal minds may be thinking and foresee what potential strategy they may have in store for you and I. We need to develop an awareness of how they function and how they manage to pull-off some of their actual exploits. Click here

September 6, 2010 - "How important is your Scuba Regulator" By Joseph Parish. Think back how proud you were of yourself after you received that coveted scuba certification, planned your dive trip, and acquired all your needed scuba gear.

2010-09-02T02:01:00.001-04:00

September 2, 2010 - "Pam’s Bread Custard Pudding" By Joseph Parish. When my wife makes us fresh baked bread on a daily basis we often discover that it is too much for a family of three to eat. As such it only makes good cost effective sense to find alternate methods in which to utilize this left over bread. Generally our freshly prepared bread will be usable for its anticipated purpose for a period of several days after it has been made, however beyond that time frame it slowly begins to deteriorate and get stale.

A Matter of Benjamin’s

2010-09-01T09:50:00.002-04:00

September 1, 2010 - "A Matter of Benjamin’s" By Joseph Parish. When hurricane Katrina assaulted the city of New Orleans there can be no doubt that along with the large scale destruction laid in its path, a greater moral disaster was becoming evident. At the conclusion of the storm it had caused immeasurable amounts of destruction to Louisiana’s most popular regional city. The hurricane thundered onto the coast in August of 2005. This crisis not only generated enormous amounts of damage to property but ultimately affected the lives of many low income people. These inhabitants of the “Big Easy” were not merely displaced by this phenomenon but literally uprooted from their homes to be eventually forgotten. Click here

Using code words

2010-09-01T09:48:00.001-04:00

September 1, 2010 - "Using code words" By Joseph Parish. In the future when the balloon goes up it always helps to be able to catch aggressors or invaders by surprise when necessary. I look at the situation as if it is either them or me. I would rather catch them napping then they in turn discover my family and I unprepared. Plain text language would often reveal your intentions to any evil doer that may want your supplies or even worse to harm your loved ones. In place of that my family and I have devised a series of code words which indicate certain actions that should be accomplished immediately. Click here

August 31, 2010 - "World War III" World War III is a thought provoking look at an alternate ending of the Cold War.

2010-08-28T19:18:00.001-04:00

August 28, 2010 - "A cow with how many teats?" By Joseph Parish. I am truly amazed that Ms. Carson of OWL took such an offense to Alan Simpson’s letter. Granted he appeared a bit rough and crude with his format but it was meant only to be graphic and descriptive, which many of us often do. To ask for the man to resign his position is nothing short of ludicrous. Click here

August 9, 2010 - "Creation of a Senior Summer Survival Kit" By Joseph Parish. With the ungodly amounts of heat we have been having recently it only makes sense to construct a summer survival kit for your senor family members.

Avoid terrorist kidnapping

August 8, 2010 - "Avoid terrorist kidnapping" By Joseph Parish. During my time spent as a forward air controller and in security service we would have daily top secret briefings at which time the speaker would conduct some special training. We would initially view what I referred to as a “spy film”. These films were clearly taken in the field under the worse possible conditions and featured some very bad photography. Click here

August 8, 2010 - "Adolf Hitler's Parents Shouldn't Get Kids Back: Court" By Teresa Masterson. Although I would never name my children after such an inhuman as Hitler I see this situation as another means of exerting power over the people. I have lived in NJ and know how they like to take as much of your rights and power as they can get. A New Jersey state appeals court has determined that a couple who gave their children Nazi-inspired names should not regain custody of them. Click here

August 7, 2010 - "Sunday’s Rustic Pain De Mie Bread" By Joseph Parish. I was sitting peacefully at home on Sunday and all of a sudden I realized that I had not made any homemade bread for a long time. Pondering what type of bread to make I thought rather then whole grain bread, I would do a white bread. Traditionally this bread is known as sandwich bread but technically it’s called pain de mie.
