Today we are highlighting our Food Storage Gifts board. This board highlights some gifts we’ve found around the web, and some gifts we’ve made ourselves for people that have or use Food Storage. The best gifts, are those that are useful!

To see the whole board, click here.

• PIN 1: One of our favorite gift ideas. #10 can stoves are great for anyone because they can provide people with a way to cook food. Make this with items you already have on hand.
• PIN 2: Wheat grass is a fun decorating item, and healthy food item. Check out this pin to see it grown in Christmas mug, but you could use just about any container and do the same thing!
• PIN 3: When we got married, we got recipe boxes full of family recipes from Jodi’s mom. You could do a spin on that gift for bridal showers, and make Jodi’s cute recipe binders!
• PIN 4: We couldn’t help but share this Valentine’s 72 hour kit for you to make for your loved ones that work at an office.

Make sure you check out the rest of the items on the Food Storage Gifts board. We’ll keep adding to that board as we find great stuff, and we’ll see you tomorrow to highlight another one of our boards!

Don’t forget you can Follow us on Pinterest so you don’t miss any of the great stuff we will be pinning in the future.

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

LABELS AND ACCESSORIES

We wanted to say thanks to all our readers for being so awesome, and hope you are getting ready for a wonderful holiday season. We’re so fortunate to be able to share what we learn with you all.

The Wonder Junior Deluxe is an incredibly powerful and fast hand grinder for a mid-range price. You can use it for powerless emergencies, for daily use, or just when you need to grind something that won’t work in an electric mill like oily nuts and seeds or cracked grains. The WonderMill Electric is the quietest, fastest, and cleanest of all the mills we tested and we have been recommending them to family, friends, and blog readers for 3 years now.

The Wonder Junior Deluxe models have been on backorder for about 6 months now. Each new shipment that comes in is sold out before it arrives. We are currently taking orders for March delivery, however … we just received a bonus shipment of 20 Wonder Junior Deluxe hand wheat grinders due to an order cancellation. A lot of people have been hoping to get one of these great mills for Christmas and now is your chance. We will sell on a first come first serve basis until all 20 have been sold. THESE ARE NOW SOLD OUT. SORRY! We are on a waiting list to get another 20 Wonder Juniors in early January, but it may be as late as March. You may continue to place orders and will be added to the waiting list to receive one as soon as more are available!

We are giving away a FREE WonderMill Electric Mill in the month of december! The first 20 people to purchase an electric mill from our site starting today, will be entered to win a FREE WONDERMILL electric mill. That is a 1 in 20 chance to get your mill FOR FREE! You can choose to either receive a second mill to give to someone else, or get a full refund on your initial purchase. These are great gift items if you are looking for a bigger gift to give someone this year. ALL 20 HAVE BEEN PURCHASED. WE WILL EMAIL THOSE 20 PURCHASERS SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE WINNER OF THE FREE MILL (REFUND)

We will be updating our WONDERMILL main page with details as we sell 20 mills of each kind. Go on over there to purchase and see how many are left!

Some of these are valid only 11/25-11/28 but others will remain active through out the Holiday Season!

When we went to the Self Reliance Expo last month we told you we learned about a bunch of great new products. Well we went on a mission all month to become dealers or distributors for as many of those products as we could. Being dealers for these products allows us to get you the best prices possible.

Earlier this month we told you about the Prepare My Life Planners.

Today, we did 4 posts throughout the day on 4 more products we have become dealers, or affiliated with to get you great prices and or discounts. We wanted to get these out there for you in time for your holiday shopping, and will be talking more about them in the future, as we use them more ourselves.

Once you have a little more of a budget to work with you may like storing water in water boxes, and or barrels. After purchasing a few water barrels for ourselves, we asked on our Facebook page if people thought it would be wiser to store these barrels in the garage of the basement. Since we live in Utah, and earthquakes are a threat here, most people recommended storing it in a garage so you would have better access to it in case of an earthquake.

Another suggestion that came through our facebook page was water towers. We were sent a link to Trigen Manufacturing who made these water towers. In a perfect world, our husbands would have enough time to build these for us – but since that’s not happening anytime soon, we got some for ourselves. These are great space savers as opposed to having barrels lined up side by side, and allow for easier filling and draining. These shelves are not cheaply made, or going to break down on you after awhile. They are industrial parts and supplies and therefore will last as long as you need them to. Here’s a little peak into their 3 and 2 barrel towers.

see list below for discounts

	The Triple Barrel Tower is Designed to vertically hold 3 blue 55 Gallon Barrels. This will allow you to have over 160 gallons of water that you know is clean and ready to use. The heavy-duty construction is made of high strength steel and is easy to assemble. It safely stores the barrels vertically which frees up valuable floor space for you. (Barrels Not Included) Dimensions: 6′ 8″ tall x 24.5″ wide x 36.5″ deep
	The Double Barrel Tower is made with the same heavy duty steel as the Triple Barrel Tower but is designed to hold 2 barrels and so it fits into a shorter space. (Barrels Not Included) Dimensions: 4′ 8″ tall x 24.5″ wide x 36.5 ” deep
	When you purchase the Barrel Towers with Trigen you also have the option to get the upgraded plumbing kit. This fully integrated option plumbs the barrels together so that only the top barrel needs to be filled and the water flushes down through to the bottom barrel. This allows for easier draining and rotating of the water. Kit contains all necessary hose, hose clams, fittings, ball joints, and threaded caps for each barrel to make assemble easy.

To order call: 801-997-0575. Make sure you mention Food Storage Made Easy when you order to get the following discounts:

• $20 off the Triple Barrel Tower with Upgraded Plumbing kit
• $10 off Triple Barrel Tower with Basic Plumbing Kit
• $10 off the Double Barrel Tower with Upgraded Plumbing kit
• $10 off the Double Barrel Tower with Basic Plumbing kit

Advanced Preparedness Concepts
Disclaimer: Today’s new products are topics and tools you naturally get into eventually on your food storage journey, but we dont recommend you invest too much time or money in these if you don’t have the basics covered yet.

We knew it was going to be a FUN day when we walked into the Self Reliance Expo last month and Humless was the first stop we made. Humless is a Solar Powered Generator. Generators are something we have yet to dive into in depth because there are so many other aspects of food storage we have been working on first. When we started our blog we would say to each other, what good would a generator be if you had no food in your house to cook with?

Now that we’ve mastered a lot of the BabySteps, generators are a topic we are excited to learn more about. If you’re new to Food Storage, just ignore this, plug your ears, and close your eyes- don’t get intimidated, and start with the Babysteps!

Now on to the Humless. So one hang up we’ve had for a long time about generators is the need to store fuel to make them run. Fuel storage can be scary, expensive, and is often limited by local laws. Figuring out how much fuel you need, and then storing it felt like a big roadblock to us. Many generators are also very large and have to run outside because of the fumes. The Humless Sentinel is a silent, clean, safe, and portable lithium based generator, that runs off stored SOLAR energy. The concept is you charge it up in the sun (or by plugging it into a wall outlet) and then you can store the electricity for up to a year, so it’s ready to use in your home should the power go out for any reason.

There are two different units Humless sells. The Road Runner (lighter, more portable, charges small electronics) and the Sentinel (holds more power and can run bigger appliances). Each of these can charge via solar panels, wall outlets, or even a DC adapter in your car. After they are charged, they can power different appliances, and electronics for varying amounts of time.

We’re happy to be able to get these for you at the lowest prices possible. Visit our HUMLESS page for more info and to buy today.

Advanced Preparedness Concepts

In BabyStep 2 we cover water storage. When you are just getting started, even going with the minimum of 14 gallons of storage per person can feel overwhelming. Many people start with just filling up juice and pop bottles as they acquire them, but over time gradually purchase better containers with more capacity.

After going through our 7 Day Challenge each year where we actually live through situations where we are using our stored water, we quickly realized that water storage is not a complete solution. For a long term emergency situation it is important to be able to collect and purify water. If you have to evacuate and can’t bring your water barrels with you, this is an important concept as well.

A few months ago, we asked our Facebook Readers what water filter/purification system they have/love/use. Overwhelmingly the response was BERKEY. We researched Berkey Purification Systems along with other filtration systems and kept feeling like we couldn’t quite get a grasp on what we wanted for ourselves or to recommend to our readers. When we went to the Self Reliance Expo last month we got to talk to a lot of knowledgeable people about water filters and purifiers. While we still don’t feel totally expert on everything, we do feel like Berkey is a product we want to own and want to help our readers get at the lowest prices possible.

Most filtration systems can get out the majority of bad stuff from your water, but to be really safe you would still need to either boil the water or use chemicals to purify it. Because of Berkey’s unique Black Berkey Purification Elements they are able to claim that their filter actually purifies the water as well as filtering it. This is great news if you want to avoid having to go through another process after you filter your water.

We worked out a dealer agreement with Berkey so that we can help our readers get the lowest prices possible (please contact us for special rates on orders of 2 or more units). We are excited to get our own Berkey filters and learn more about them and share on our blog even more information about water filtration, water purification, and some of the other options available to you.
