Can you make your own yeast?

Just read a very interesting article at Off the Grid News, and thought you would find it compelling as well. The article is called “Prepper Baking 101: Making Your Own Yeast.” Did you know you can make sourdough starter using crushed grapes or other fruit, like tomatoes? And use potato water to start and feed your starter? Or that you can dehydrate your starter so that you have some ready-to-use when you arrive at your bugout place?

One of the people who commented on the article also provided a link to a source of sourdough recipes made in a bread machine.

Crisis Cooker

Another short note about Solutions From Science. This one is about what they call the “Crisis Cooker.” I’ve seen this advertised elsewhere as the Volcano Stove–and I want one! For a modest price we can have an emergency cooking stove that can use propane (with the appropriate attachments), charcoal briquettes (which I would have to start stocking up on), or wood (that I would scrounge from my environment). It can accomodate various cooking styles from a dutch oven to a grill, and it packs into a convenient carrying case for travel. Do check it out!

Food Storage Solutions

Just a quick note today because I’m still in catch-up mode. I just wanted to let you know that I signed up as an affiliate with Solutions From Science because I really like the various emergency solutions they offer and I thought you might, also. I’ve been watching these folks for awhile, but the thing that prompted me to finally jump through the affiliate hoop was their recent discount offer on Wise Food Storage. Can’t find that info right now, sorry, but if you are paying any attention at all to the news you will know that having an emergency food storage plan in place is important–even without discount codes. Do check out Solutions From Science’s Food Storage Solutions page. Maybe this solution is for you!
