Congressman Ron Paul Addresses The Collapse of the Dollar and the Aftermath

Asa you listen to Congressman Paul speak, this of this. You cannot prevent natural disasters or the collapse of the dollar. But if you can control your own food supply. With food you can makes choices. Without food, you are subject to someone else making decisions for you.



Aesop’s Fable - The Grasshopper and the Ants

Disney's 1934 Animated Version

Unlike Disney's version of the story, the grasshopper died in the original fable. Perhaps Disney considered the children who would see this video and decided to change the ending. In Disney's version of the fable, the ants share their food with the grasshopper and so the cartoon version has a happy ending.

The way Aesop told it, the Grasshopper found itself dying of hunger in winter,  while it saw the ants distributing corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. They did not share their food.

Then the Grasshopper knew… It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.

“Dying” is a hard way to learn a lesson in self-reliance.

In either case, the lesson is clear.  Throughout the ages, wise men have always stored food.  Why? . . .

. . . Because “Winter” Always Comes!

"I heard the warnings, but ignored them..."

We just didn't expect it and didn't prepare for it. I thought, how could it happen here?" That is what one man told reporters in the aftermath of the hurricane that cut off a dozen small towns in Vermont from the outside world.



With roadways destroyed, no electricity or phone service, people are left on their own until food, water and medicine can be airlifted to them. The storm left thousands of people without electricity, spoiling what perishable food they may have had in now un-refrigerated refrigerators.

In Rochester, people could be seen from helicopters standing in line outside a grocery store. The town's restaurants and a supermarket were giving food away rather than let it spoil.

I also heard a news report that stated people are relying now on their vegetable gardens for food, harvesting what they can to eat. That's good if you happen to have a garden, but many households do not.

The point is Hurricane Irene illustrates perfectly why people need to store food reserves for emergencies. Not just any ole food but dehydrated whole meals packaged in oxygen proof, Mylar containers. Food preserved in this manner will last 15 years or longer and keep 92% of its nutritional value. Keeping this kind of food tucked away is every one's best insurance against unforeseen events like Hurricane Irene.

I understand why people do not store food reserves. They do not store food because losing access to food is beyond their comprehension. They do not store food because doing so acknowledges the reality of a very real danger and fear they'd rather not think about.

In the end, it will not be government that saves us from disasters, it will be ourselves. 



Freeze-Dried or Low-heat Dehydration?

In the video below, Steve Shenk, CEO/Founder of eFoods Global, discusses what you need to look for when buying food prepared for long-term storage. Although, he is talking here about eFoods Direct, the parent-company of eFoods Global, eFood Global packages the very same food. Only difference is eFoods Global uses mylar pouches instead of cans.

Storage space in your home is a consideration when buying foods for long-term storage. Dehydrated foods are shrunk down in size so you get more servings in each container.  Freeze dried foods retain their same size and shape as fresh food, so you would need several freeze dried cans to equal the same number of servings as in one can of dehydrated. Therefore freeze-dried foods require several times the storage space as dehydrated foods.

Storing dehydrated food packaged in mylar pouches offers greater convenience than dehydrated food stored in #10 cans. Mylar pouches are easier to transport (i.e. backpack), come in a size that makes 4 servings, and take up less space than cans. A whole month of food for four people can be easily stored in one cardboard box.

How to Buy 200 Pounds of Food for $25



Thinking outside of the box means not following the crowd. Living in this Internet age has made doing things your own way much easier. You just need desire and determination. By the way, if anyone knows the title to the song in the above video, please post it in the comment section below. Thanks!

P.S. We are looking for dehydrated sweet corn sold in large bulk mylar bags. If anyone knows a U.S. or Canadian source, please post the source in the comment section below..

For Those Living Under a Rock...

Without casting blame, it is vital that you understand what personal

hardships mean to you in terms of food, clothing and shelter. If you
do not want to become a statistic, you must take necessary steps
now to prepare yourself and family. Finger pointing will not put food
on the table, having stored food reserves will.

Over the years, much of the world has come to rely on technological

advancements to the point of dependency. Our nation's business
infrastructure with its delicate dance to deliver and meet our needs
when we want them is an example. We have become so dependent
on this delivery system, few people living in Canada and the U.S.A
could survive for more than a few days or a week without it.

Take food and water are instance. We are absolutely dependent on

this infrastructure to keep the flow of food and water coming to us.
That is what I want you to think about. Should disruption occur
(please pray it doesn't) in the flow of food and water, are you
prepared to deal with it? Are your friends? What would you do?



Do You Know What's More Precious Than Gold, Oil and Cash Combined?

Do you now the answer? It took me awhile to figure it out. At first I thought
it a trick question. After all, what in the world is more precious than gold,
oil and cash combined? Then it came to me.

The answer is food!

Here's an example of why. Remember the Titanic? When the Titanic sank
in the north Atlantic Ocean, many millionares onboard offered all their
money and jewels in exchange for a seat on a life raft. No one took them
up on their offer. Their money and jewels had become suddenly worthless.
The reason is clear. Those life rafts meant the difference between life
and certain death.

What if one day you run out of food? Can't happen you say? Remember the
Titanic? Before that mighty ship hit that iceberg and had its bowels ripped
open, people on board all said the same thing..."Impossible. This ship is
state of the art and cannot be sunk."

Today we utilize state of the art technology to keep food in front
of us. Food grown thousands of miles away is delivered everyday to
thousands of grocery stores across the land. Not only is the food fresh,
we can choose from many varieties and different price levels.

We even have state of the art food stamp programs and local agencies
to provide the poor and needy with food. Our country is so blessed with
technology, most people simply take the availibility of food for granted.
The thought of running out of food or of ever going hungry never crosses
the minds of most people.

But ask anyone who has been through a natural disaster and knows
what it is like to go without food for days on end. They will tell you
food can disappear in a heart beat.

This is why food and having food reserves is more precious than gold,
oil and cash. In fact, food is our greatest dependency 'cause when
you're hungry, nothing else matters then.

No one in their wildest dreams ever thought the Titanic would sink,
but it did. No one ever stops to think how life would change should
store shelves suddenly go empty, but they do.

Life is full of challenges. You cannot control floods, hurricanes, tornadoes
or the economy. But if you have food you have personal solutions to
how these things affect you. Think about it.
