I'm beginning to pay attention to this subject more carefully without going bonkers. Here's a practical list; Geralyn and I already have about 10 of these items. For instance a whistle can be an fascinating communication tool.
Finished dehydrating and vacuum sealing one bag of lemons. So easy to do and shelf life of about 20 years.
I have two electric dehydrators. ExCaliber brand with thermostat. So easy. One of them I found at a garage sale for $5.
I have a ninja foodie air fryer and it has a dehydrator setting. Maybe some of you people out there own one already.
I live down the road from my inlaws, who are completely self sufficient if need be. Well water with hand pump in barn, house heated by two central wood fireplaces with an envelope brick wall going up through the house, huge garden every year and she cans hundreds of canned vegetables and fruit jams, even meat, and he is a great hunter. They have 40 acres with another 600 acres of wooded hills surrounding them. As for me, I usually keep an extra month of dog food on hand and as much food ahead for me as I can afford. LOL
I picked up an InstaPot DuoCrisp with Air Fryer lid off Facebook marketplace recently for $50. Now I need to learn how to use it for dehydrating stuff. I’ve watched videos on drying apples and pears but I’d really like to try dehydrating venison.
I just prayed the Litany to St Joseph on EWTN and in the litany, “He (God) made him the master of his household and prince over all his possessions” stood out to me this morning .
