This post is part 3 of our series on acquiring preparedness skills. What I did was adapt handouts I had created for our ward (congregation) preparedness fair last year and re-write them into blog posts. I've tried to make the information more general than our local community, but international readers will still find that it's probably localized to the US.
These posts won't be comprehensive as that isn't the intent. I hope, though, that you are able to begin your journeys toward acquiring skills that allow you and your families to be more prepared and self-reliant.

It is intersting how many posts are written about cooking froom scratch. Though a lot of us were brought up that way, we (as in society) have developed a liking for convenience, it doesn't necessarily save us time and certainly not our health.
