Before embarking on these steps, make sure to take a look at and accomplish the tasks on the “Getting Started” page. Feel free to work on these steps at your own pace, but if you would like to have more guidance we recommend signing up for our Babystep Checklists. These checklist are email reminders you receive every two weeks and outline a plan for you to complete the steps within one year.
Heat sources? Do you have any idea what is the best heat source for emergencies? I have heard that Kerosene heaters are the best but, I can’t figure it out. Thanks
Angie
Angie,
We haven’t delved into that portion of our research yet. We are planning on doing a big research on all sorts of alternative heating sources once our babysteps are done. Should be “soon”
For now, check out this post. It’s about how to make a cardboard box oven. Could come in handy for sure!

Jodi,
Just so you know, I “tune in” to your site quite often. I love that you start with baby steps. People for the most part get discouraged because storing food seems so big and impossible. So I’m a sister believer! Thank you for that.
Thanks also for your comments on my blog. I’m learning from you, maybe I can offer something in return. Have a great day!

Linnie, I just found your blog today and I like it so far! I’m glad you enjoy our site and I’m sure we will learn from you as well
We love it when people are spreading the word about preparedness!
You have a great site!
I’m referring people your way this week. Thank you for your comment a while back and taking the time to look at my blog.
I just stumbled on this site and am so excited to get started. Thank you for putting all this info together for novices like myself!

Like others here, I LOVE your babysteps checklist, but I’m in a situation where I can, and would like, to have all the checklists at once/more quickly than biweekly; is this possible?
Thanks!
Erika

I bought the e-book but I am looking for step #14 can you help?
Thank you
Do you mean checklist #14? We only have ten babysteps and they are all found on this page. In our ebook we only have the ten steps. If you looking for checklist #14 that is found in the ebook as well. If you still need help please email us at info@foodstoragemadeeasy.net and let us know exactly what you need. Thanks!
Great site — Thanks so much!
I'd think certificates of title should be added to the Emergency Binder.

i couldn't figure out what happened to my free lists and then i found them in the spam section. well, a press of a button changed that.
I'm not in the LDS church but I've just started thinking about food storage because of the current economic situation and what I think is coming our way. I love your site but don't quite have the whole concept of it down yet. Question – do you ladies can things like raw chicken or cooked ground beef? If so, where is it on your site? If not, what are your thoughts on not having it in your storage? Thanks
Hi Tim, I'm not a member either but I have friends who are and anyone can go to the storehouse and purchase long term storage items and really good price. I have canned chicken and beef but the other choice I use also is TVP. This is textured vegetable protein. It comes in many flavors. Fill free to check out my farm site http://www.cedarrockfarm.net and click on the Emergency Prepardness page I have listed many links that were very helpful to my family.

Yellowntbk made a great point reagrding deeds.
It is a very good idea to access your local county property appraisers on line site site and print off the page containing all of the countys information regarding your parcel, home, buildings, Legal ID, and such.
You should be able to access your local Clerk of Court Site on line and print off a simple copy of your deed and mortgage information that is filed in legal records.I personally believe a trip to the clerk of court for a certified copy of any real and personal property deed, vehicle registration, mortgage documents and tax records is most important in an emergency file.
I've tried registering 3 different times and can't login with the password I've been given. Any suggestions?
