ArchiveAt the time of publication, I am almost 18 weeks pregnant. So far, I have been able to avoid hospitals entirely. I am in a situation where I can use a birth center that is very low volume. I work from home and order groceries and other household supplies. I have not been in a grocery or major box store since January 31, 2020. After reading some articles and joining a few online pregnancy lists, it became apparent that pregnant women are experiencing disturbing things during pregnancy and delivery. The intent of this article is to inform on what it...
I like hummus occasionally, but I hate how much it costs for just a little tub. Another concern is that it is one of the foods that seem to be susceptible to food contamination. At the moment I have to be especially careful. Listeria can cause severe problems if you are pregnant. Years ago, I used to buy hummus powder for around $4 per lb. Pretty expensive for something made from chickpeas but still less money than premade stuff. I got to craving hummus the other day when I tried to think about foods that were easy to eat and...
New Year’s Eve 2020 was a constant stream of online declarations of happiness that 2020 was over and 2021 would be different. The reality is that 2021 is shaping up to be another year of life, not being what people expect. At this point, there are still some that say “when things go back to normal.” At this point, that is not a healthy outlook to have. Too much has happened for things to go back to how they were. Can they improve and get better? Sure they can, but it might take some time and a lot of unpleasantness....
The pandemic has led to an increase in doctor’s visits and consultations via video call or chat. Medical offices that previously required in-person visits for straightforward matters are now encouraging virtual appointments. It is also much easier to get a consultation and prescription entirely online, even if you don’t have a regular doctor. You can also get emergency refills of meds. This can be handy if you cannot get an appt with your regular doctor for some reason. I wanted to share my experience using an online doctor service and provide fellow preppers with a good list of online resources...
Humans are fairly fragile when exposed to cold. Some people are not aware that it doesn’t even have to bitterly cold for humans to suffer from hypothermia. The good news is that there are many ways to stay warm and survive if you lose the ability to heat your home. This article explores what you can do to stay warm and dry, even if you are facing additional challenges beyond losing the ability to heat your home. Emergency Blankets It is a good idea to stock up on these. You can stash them in your car, boat, RV, bug out...
There is a lot of survival food to choose from. Preppers need to be careful when purchasing food buckets. They are not all the same, and just because one cost’s more doesn’t necessarily mean it is any better. I have found Augason Farm’s products to be a decent and affordable solution for those that want space-efficient emergency food storage. I purchased two food buckets with my own money, so I can show you what to expect when you buy Augason Farm’s basic emergency food buckets. It should not come as a surprise that there is no meat in these kits...
Regardless of your personal opinions on how serious COVID-19 is, the economic and social consequences have affected you somehow. It is hard to say what exactly comes next, but I get the feeling that it is not going to be great. We are at least in for a bit of a roller coaster ride through 2021. Everyone talks about getting back to normal, but the truth is that things will never be quite the same. There have been far too many businesses and social relationships destroyed on top of lives lost. Some believe that the numbers of COVID-19 deaths are...
There are many products out there that have a ton of uses and cost very little to add to your stash. In this article, I am going to discuss some of the products you can keep on hand to take care of a variety of tasks around the home. Bon Ami I always keep at least 3 containers of Bon Ami around. It is mostly feldspar. Bon Ami is great for cleaning porcelain sinks, enamel stove tops, and baked on grime from pans. It doesn’t scratch but you might want to rub some on a test spot if you are...
Shopping has definitely changed since the COVID-19 pandemic first started. With so many people stocking up and the transportation industry under a lot of pressure, the gaps at the grocery store and the light shelves have continued to be a problem off and on. I have gathered from many readers that this varies a lot based on where you live. My own shopping habits have changed quite a bit too. For example, I don’t really buy a lot of stuff from a traditional grocery store. I also tend to buy in bulk more often. For example, instead of buying 3...
This year has been challenging for everyone. But like any tumultuous year, life goes on in many ways and there is always new life popping up. This time it happened to me. My husband and I really increased how much we were prepping at the beginning of the pandemic. As time wore on and civil unrest came into the mix in the cities, we prepped even more. Matt grew a lot of gardens, and we put back what we could not eat fresh. At 37 years old, we really thought that kids were not possible for us. A few years...
