How to Build Your Food Storage On Only $5 a Week Think you can’t handle the price of food storage? Think again. I was over at LDSPreppers today and found a great post in the forums by “AZPrepper”. He basically came up with a list of $5 food items that you can purchase each week for a year to build up your food storage for you and someone else. Although he mentions that some of the food costs may have changed, the general concept and estimate should still be worth your while. Here’s the list of what to buy each week: He also mentions that some weeks you will have leftover change. After you have completed this list, you will end up with: 500 lbs of wheat180 lbs of sugar40 lbs of powdered milk12 lbs of salt10 lbs of honey5 lbs of peanut butter45 cans of tomato soup15 cans of cream of mushroom soup15 cans of cream of chicken soup24 cans of tuna21 boxes of macaroni & cheese500 aspirin1000 multi-vitamins6 lbs of yeast6 lbs of shortening12 lbs of macaroni

Preparedness Project - A Jar of Candles! A Jar of Candles with a TWIST! Today's project will cost about $1.50 to make, but will be a great help in a power outage. You will need: 1 Quart Canning Jar (Regular or Wide Mouth) Amazing Goop Craft Contact Adhesive and Sealant (We used the Clear Transparent Goop) and 1/2" Plumbers Cap That's all you need to create this project! Instructions: Take off the ring and jar lid. Flip jar lid so that the seal is facing away from the jar. Replace the lid with the seal side up. Apply a pea-sized amount of the glue to the center of the lid, and the bottom end of the plumbers cap. Let each piece sit for 40 seconds. Put the glue-side of the cap to the glue-side of the jar lid. Make sure it's centered on the lid. Allow to dry over-night with the cap on the outside of the jar. Fill the jar with 1/2" candles and a small box of matches. Reverse lid so that the plumbers cap is now inside the jar. Tighten the ring. You now have a waterproof emergency light source! Wait 24 hours before you use the jar. Note: No worries . . .

Introduction to the Project I spent nearly five years, from mid-1996 to the beginning of 2001, homeless, or as I liked to call it with a distributed household. I had storage, shelter, mailbox, telephone, shower, bathroom facilities, cooking equipment, and transportation, even access to television, radio, computer equipment, and ac power. I had the essence of a home. I'm not the first to do what I did, to live homeless well. There are laws against sleeping in public, in your car, on the beach, anywhere in the public view. I've been thinking about writing this book, a guide to living well, for years.
Handspun Recycled Newspaper Yarn Recently a commenter asked what they could do with all the old newspapers they had piling up. With enough time, patience, and newspapers you can create newspaper yarn. From the design studios of Greetje van Tiem and her “Indruk” project she can purportedly spins 20yds of “yarn” from a sheet of old newspaper. Similar to our post on Plarn, newspaper yarn can be woven into varying degrees of complexity to construct anything from curtains, to rugs, netting throws, or even upholstery. This great craft can create usable additions around the home and is a upcycle for your Sunday Post. Of course the question is "how to spin newspaper yarn?" You will need: ScissorsNewspaperSpindle 1) Take a full sheet from your paper and fold in to about fourths. 2) Cut half inch strips along the width of this folded paper. 3) Create a “lead” with your first strip by twisting it up tightly with your fingers. 4) Wrap the lead around the base of your spindle to begin the process.

How to talk to someone with mania – Bipolar Talk One of the hardest skills to learn is how to deal with someone who is manic. There is plenty of advice around for helping a depressed person. In fact, this seems to come naturally. Mania is another thing altogether. Being close to a manic person is rather like standing near a burning building. The manic person is often acutely aware that their behavior is unacceptable to you, and may not care at all how you feel. Here are some general principles. Don’t make threats. Don’t lecture. Do stand up for yourself. Don’t go along with crazy ideas. You’re not the police. Do tell them what you think. Don’t blame yourself for the manic person’s actions. Do hold them accountable… afterwards. Don’t have alcohol or drugs accessible for them to consume. Don’t be afraid to call in the cavalry, whether this be reliable relatives or friends who can help with a dire situation, or even the police. Do get out of the situation if you can’t handle it. Dealing with rage: mania often leads to rages.
