Those that recommended 'One Second After'

[SA Friday]

Oh dear god in heaven. The wife just finished 'One Second After'. I thought it scared me... She didn't sleep last night, and I'm currently sharing info she once thought was from the minds of the paranoid.

Jerry, what was that site you were buying Mylar bags and O2 tablets from? What size were they too?

I see it is time for the Mylar party. Here is the site. http://www.sorbentsystems.com/mylar.html

This is the one you are looking for.

10VF4C16
10.0"x16.0"
Equivalent to a #10 can. PAKVF4C
5.0 mils- Food Grade!
Also available in Green! 250
50-150 @ $0.562ea


I use the 300cc absorbers. Here is the page. http://www.sorbentsystems.com/order_O2.html

A couple of things. 50 bags and 50 absorbers is under there $45 min and have a surcharge. Order 60 bags and it should be over.

The absorbers can be put into a cart but not the bags you want so you go to the order form here. https://www.sorbentsystems.com/orderform.html

and manually put in the #'s. The bags come in silver or green pick one or they come silver.

After all this you will get one Email that says your order has been received.
Just about the time that you are wondering what has happened to your order (4-5 days) it will show up on your doorstep. Just pointing out some quirks of ordering from them.

Now all that said I do have plenty of bags and 50 absorbers here. If you want to start I can give ya a list of local bulk items to start with. For your first batch you would need 20 to 30 bags and 30-40 absorbers since some of the items ya might want to put away are 1/2 bag items.

If it is any consolation I kind of went through the same thing with my wife. She did not understand what I was doing or why. A few events over a couple of years changed her mind.

If ya have any questions drop me a PM. In addition to what you can put in mylar yourself to save $$$ you need to look here http://www.honeyvillegrain.com/ For items and also take a look at the links page. I like Honeyville because of there shipping costs.

You opened the box and there is no going back now.

While I think the canning class was OUTSTANDING and I'm looking forward to the Mylar class, I can't stress enough the most overlooked SHTF/TEOTWAWKI item:

toilet paper! Stock up!!!

Are there any local places to get bulk wheat and other grains?

The best place I have been able to find to get wheat berries locally is from the LDS cannery - 25 lbs for $7.65 currently. They have a few types of beans and other bulk items as well. There is one in Aurora near I70 & Chambers. Here is a link to their order form/price list:

Some items they sell are cheaper at Sam's (rice & white sugar) but overall their items are a real bargain. I've gone there a couple times, it is open to public, not required to be a member. They also have items that you can pack in #10 cans or in bags as well. In addition they have some wet pack items that are really good. My favorite is their jams. They have about 6 or 8 different kinds like boysenberry, loganberry, raspberry, peach etc and I think they were $2 for a 16oz jar.

I finished it this weekend. The wife finished it today. She hasn"t stopped crying. She's passing it on to her family. She's alot more interested in the plan. The book brings some hard thoughts into daily thinking.

My wife isn't interested in reading it and my best friend told me I have to stop reading TEOTWAWKI type of books (he hasn't read it either, but I think I can turn him).

So, I sit here all alone in my desire to prepare for SHTF events.
