    Nice tour and you presented very well. Nice steady pace of narration. I haven't seen dried green beans in about 50 years. I am from the West Coast and I had never heard them called leather britches. My ex mother-in-law from Virginia taught me to string them and I dried them hanging from the ceiling above the grate in the floor above the furnace in the basement. Dehydrated green beans. They made great cooked green beans. That was before I started canning way back then. Thank you for your tour.

      Frozen foods will keep each other at safe temperature for many days. Meat can be smoked, preserved in salt, et. She can also keep a supply of extra canning products and quickly can much of it. If summer, can set out in a mesh natural dehydrator. In the meantime, well prepared for not having to go out in bad weather, not having to worry about shortages, dealing with panicked buyers in more likely emergency situations, better health control of food for family, and just plain convenience and peace of mind; would make it all worthwhile to me. 😁

    I’m thinking that having oil, antifreeze and all of the fluids needed for a vehicle would be very important to have on hand. What happens if stores close or we are forced into a shft situation and our vehicles need maintenance? Just wondering why most prepped homesteaders don’t store products for vehicles maintenance.
