Self Sufficiency List

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

If you are thinking of self-sufficiency and being self reliant then the list below will be of special interest to you.

This list does not mean that you have to have absolutely every item on it in order to survive if the worst would ever happen. It is simply a list of items that will help you to be able to survive in times of disaster or economic struggle. The more items that you have, thus the better prepared you are to face adversity and the easier it will be for you and your family to get through tough times.

If you are well prepared then it won’t matter if there is a storm, an earthquake, loss of a job, illness-whatever happens you WILL get through it.

There is no better insurance than to know that no matter what happens that your family is prepared.

You may already have health insurance and life insurance so why not add your own brand of survival insurance?

Okay, Josh & I have researched and talked about it and here are the items that we want to have in order to be self sufficient.

An alternative heat source

-wood

-corn

-pellet

-solar

-wind

-generator

For the best protection it is a good idea to have 2-3 extra alternative heat sources

Alternative energy source

-solar

-wind power

-generator

Alternative water source

-hand water pump

-water barrels

-cistern

Storm shelter/root cellar

-protection from storms

-storage for canned food

-storage for garden produce

-area to grow mushrooms

Greenhouse

-to extend growing season for months

-when attached to your home could provide extra heat during winter months

Garden

-provide food during the growing season

-grow enough to feed your family during Winter months

-control over how fresh your food is

-control over whether your food is organic or use of less pesticides

Fruit trees, shrubs or bushes

-grow a wide variety of fruits

-use for fresh eating; can or dehydrate for use later

Nuts

-growing your own nuts can save you LOTS of money, provide protein and good nutrition

-good for snacking, make nut butters (like peanut butter) and add flavor & crunch to dishes

With nuts costing $8 and more per pound it won’t take long for a nut tree or shrub to pay for itself

Once you know that you have food, water, heat & lights no matter what happens you will have peace of mind.

Other items to help you to be more self sufficient:

A means of protection to keep your family safe is another good idea

Pay down your debt and try to be debt free

If you can then try to get your home & your car paid for asap. This could mean buying a little older model vehicle or a less expensive home.

When you are debt free and have food put aside as well as alternative heat, lights, etc. then if you would lose your job or have an illness in the family you can get by on little money but still be able to eat well and stay warm

If you can, it is nice to have a bit of property so as to raise your own chickens for fresh eggs and meat or to raise other animals and to grow your own food.

If you don’t have much property then you can still grow at least some of your own food. Plant a fruit tree or two & maybe a nut tree. You can grow a nice amount of vegetables by growing upward. Grow beans, squash, cucumbers & such on fences and you will be able to grow a LOT in small spaces.

You can also tuck vegetables into your flower bed, plant a strip of vegetables next to the garage. Every spot that you can grow something will help you to be more self sufficient. AND home grown foods will help you to be healthier too

Mushrooms are another crop that you can grow. These can be grown either in your basement or root cellar. They can also be grown outside in a shady area

Self-Sufficiency Garden

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Ok, so you are here because you want to become more self sufficient, right?

And you realize that growing your own food is a great place to start and and is probably the best way to be more self sufficient. What better way to be prepared for the worst than to have the knowledge that you and your family will eat no matter what?

But, if you don’t have a lot of room you may wonder what you should grow. What will provide the most food in the least space? What provides good nutrition? What is easiest to store?

Well, to get you started you need to make a list of what you and your family love to eat. It dies not matter how great a vegetable is if no one in your family will eat it. It will be a waste of time, space and money.

The less space you have the more careful you need to be about that.

If you have more room you can grow some other things but concentrate the most of your favorites and those that can be used in numerous ways.

So, I will give you a list of some top crops to grow in a self sufficiency garden but always check it against what you and your family will actually enjoy eating.

The best self-sufficiency garden will start with crops that can be turned into a wide variety of dishes.

Potatoes tops our list. You can grow a lot of potatoes in a relatively small space. For years people have talked about growing food crops in used tires.

Some people think that it isn’t safe while others think that it is. Use your judgement as to what answer you are comfortable with.

Personally I have read that you can grow as much as 50 pounds of potatoes in an area less than 2X2 ft.

How you wonder? Well, you plant 4 potatoes evenly spaced inside a tire. WHen the potatoes get tall enough you simply add another tire and fill in around the potato plants being sure that the tops are above the soil line. Keep doing this all summer untill you have it 4 tires high. Let the potatoes flower and grow all those fabulous potatoes. In the Fall they are so easy to harvest.

Potatoes can be baked, fried and boiled. You can use potatoes in so many ways that it is hard to get really tired of them. That is the mark of a great self sufficiencey crop.

Next?

Beans

Personally I prefer pole beans as you can grow more in less space and you don’t have to bend over to pick them. Grow them on fences or use posts to make bean tepees. Kids love them.

You can grow all types of beans. Yellow beans, Green beans, Purple beans, dry beans, soy beans, mung beans.

You can grow beans for fresh use, to freeze, to can, to dehydrate. You can evenn pickle them. Yes, I said Pickled Beans.

My Mom used to can pickled beans for me. They make a great side dish or snack and they are super easy to can.

Dehydrate and not only are they super easy tostore but they are quick amd easy to refresh too. You vcan use them in soups, stews, casseroles or as a side dish.

Beans have long been considered poor man’s meat as they are high in protein but they are very low cost.

Your best bet is to grow several different colors and types for a nice variety of meal choices.

Mung beans can be sprouted for using in stir fries or chop suey. You can use different types of bean sprouts fresh or in dishes.

Sprouts are also a great way to take a small amount of seed provide you with a large amount of food.

I cup can be turned into 2-3 cups and, depending on the seed you can turn as little as a spoonful into several cups of sprouts.

During the Winter a wide variety of dried seeds can be a great insurance policy that your family will have fresh vegetables to eat. When you can’t grow fresh vegetables you can still eat fresh vegetables and it is very low cost while providing great high quality nutrition.

You can use them fresh to snack on, use them in sandwiches, meatloaf, soups. There are a wide variety of ways to prepare them.

So, while saving seeds for next years crops remember to store some for soups and fresh eating.

Always make sure that any seeds that you use for cooking whether they have been sprouted or not, are NOT TREATED with chemicals.

Well, I must get to bed as it is late and I am tired.

I will add to this asap as there are lots of other great vegetables to add to the list for your self-sufficiency garden.

Seed Saving =Money Savings

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Like I already said, I read that for every $60 you spend on garden seed and transplants you can grow over $2,000 worth of food.

Think about that.

Can you imagine how quickly your savings can add up?

But, image how much money you can save if you don’t need to spend that $60 or $120 or $180 a year for garden seed and transplants.

I am talking about saving your own seed and starting your own transplants.

You could virtually cut your food bill down to nearly nothing just by saving seed, starting your own transplants and growing your own food.

First of all, saving your own garden seed need not be anything difficult. For centuries people have saved their own garden seed and handed it down to their children

Saving your own garden seed not only saves you a ton of money over time but will actually produce crops that are best suited to YOUR growing area.

Years ago I saved my own garden seed but then life got the better of me and I forgot about it for a while. But, with the cost of everything going up I decided to turn back to that old way of gardening in order to save money

Now, we spent around $20 last year on garden seed and around $50 on transplants for the garden.

This year we spent a bit more on garden seed but we bought it with saving our seeds in mind. This meant buying seed that was NOT hybrid seed and buying seed that will do well in our area.

We spent less than half of what we spent last year on transplants and wouldn’t have had to spend that but something got into our first batch of transplants and we lost pretty much every one of them.

We did things different with our next transplants and had much better success. It is not hard and we will br bringing you that information soon so keep watching for it

Most seed is not hard to save. It can be as simple as cleaning the seed from the seed cavity of your melons and squash and then drying them for next year.

Some plants like carrots and cabbage are biennial and take a bit more work.

Biennials will require more work and more commitment than the easy to save annuals. Biennial plants do not send up seed stalks until the second season.

Biennial Plants include:

Beets

Brussels sprouts

Cabbage

Carrots

Cauliflower

Celery

Onions

Parsley

Parsnips

Rutabaga

Salsify

Swiss chard

Turnips.

If you are put off by that then just saving the seeds from the easy plants will save you money and when you get more comfortable with the process you can move on to the biennials.

Some easy seed saving crops?

Beans

Cucumbers

Eggplant

Pepper

Radish

Squash

Tomato

Watermelon

So, when planting your garden this year keep in mind which kinds of seed you would like to save and be sure that they are open pollinated or heirloom seed. You CANNOT save seed from hybrid seed as it will not grow to be like the parent plant. You will not know what you could end up with. It may be completely uneatable-no flavor, off taste, tough, etc.

Be sure that you only plant 1 variety for each type of :

Squash

Peppers,

Melon

Cucumber

Pumpkin

Spinach

You CAN pant more varieties but you will need to cover the blossoms before they bloom (open) with a paper bag, piece of cloth something to keep insects from pollinating the blossoms. Then YOU need to pollinate them yourself.

This is not as difficult as it may sound. Many people just use a small paintbrush to get the small bits of yellow pollen onto it and then transfer it to another blossom. Keep doing this until all blossoms on each plant that you are planning to save seed from have been pollinated.

Either wash the brush thoroughly or use a different one for each different crop to prevent cross contamination of your seed.

These can be washed, dried and re-used each year.

Or, I have used my finger to pollinate the plants. Stick with one type of plant and just keep spreading the pollen from one plant to another until all are well pollinated. Then cover each blossom and wash your hands well before moving on to the next crop.

Tie a piece of yarn or cloth to each plant that you will be collecting seed from so that no one will accidentally pick it and eat it resulting in the loss of your seed for next years crop

This is just a basic primer to get you started so that you can plant items that you will be able to save the seed from come Fall.

We will be posting more in depth information soon on how to save seed from biennials, how to process, dry and store seed for next years crops.

We have loads of information from life experience and years of research, it just takes time to get it all posted on here

Shady Gardening

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

No, I am not talking about illegal gardening. I am talking about being ablle to grow food even if the area is a bit shady.

Of course if it is too shady then you may need to cut some branches, remove a tree or try growing in a different place. But, if you have an area that is a bit shady but not a deep shade then you can try the following crops and you should be able to produce some very tasty and nbutritious food there.

Shady Garden Plants:

Beets

Broccoli

Lettuce

Spinach

Swiss chard

Arugula

Endive

Radiccio

Kale

Kohlrabi

Potatoes

Turnips

Mustard

Cabbage

Carrots

These crops will grow in partial shade. and will do well with

Your leafy greens will tolerate more shade than the root

vegetables. So, if the area gets a half a day or more of shade then you will need to stick with leafy greens.

Deeper Shade Gardening Plants

Lettuce

Kale

Swiss Chard

Cabbage

Mustard

Arugula

Radicchio

Endive

Some Shade Tolerant Herbs:

Mint

Parsley

Chives

These herbs are supposed to grow if they get 4 hours of sunlight a day. So, no matter where you live you should be able to grow something to help to feed yourself and your family.

BTW, this blog is to help everyone to become more self sufficient no matter where you live. We live in the country and so are able to take this to a level that someone in the city might not be able to.

If you are unable to raise cows or goats then that is ok. If you can’t grow a 1 acre garden then that is ok too.
Don’t have much money? We don’t either. We have certain self sufficiency goals in mind and are working towards attaining them. We can’t afford to do everything right now like we would like to but we do what we can continually striving towards our goal of becoming pretty much totally self sufficient.

If all you can do is grow a few plants in containers then by all means do so. Everything that you can grow yourself will help you to save money and increase your health.

Bio Diesel, to Heat My Home?

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Bio Diesel, to Heat My Home?
Will YOU Make the Switch?
There is a lot of talk about alternative energy anymore. Whether it is solar, wind power or bio-diesel; it is being touted as the latest, greatest thing since sliced bread.
Since this article is about bio-diesel that is mainly what we will concern ourselves with here. You can find other articles that I have written about solar and wind power
You have probably heard the hype and wondered if it is true and if you should consider making the switch.
After all, you could help break our dependence upon foreign oil, help to save the environment and you could save money all at the same time. That is if what they say is true.
Is it?
Could it be the super hero that saves us, saves the environment AND the world? The magic bullet to take down all evil. The super cure to cure all disease? Okay, okay, I got a little bit carried away there-smile.
But, you most likely are wondering of it is possible or is it just hype by those that are positioned to make money if we all were to make the switch to bio-diesel?.
You may also be wanting to know if you should make the switch. And, how much is this all going to cost me anyway?
First of all, bio-diesel can be used to heat your home. You should be able to use bio-diesel with pretty much every diesel powered item that you own without going to too much time, trouble or expense. You will have to make sure that the furnace that you have can be used with bio-diesel and that whatever needs to be done, IS DONE to convert it so that you can safely use bio-diesel to heat your home.
Yeh, and how much will it cost? How will it save me any money when bio-diesel is selling for as much or more than gasoline is right now?
Propane, or whatever fuel you use to heat your home with right now is so outrageous that we cannot go on like we are. We cannot continue to put our hard earned money into the pockets of big oil while we continue to struggle day after day and they have been enjoying record profits in the MILLIONS each month!
Is that fair?
Should you have to tell your daughter that she has to stop going for her dance class because it cost too much to heat your home and that you need the cost of the dance class just for you to be able to make sure your home is warm this winter?
Should you have to tell your son that he has to cancel his participating in football because you cannot afford the extra expense? That you need that extra money just to heat your home because the cost of fuel has skyrocketed?
Okay, I know. I drifted away from talking about bio-diesel. But I wanted to get across to you that we are not talking about saving a few pennies here we are talking about saving a way of life.
We are talking not just about being able to afford the basics that we need to survive but maybe too about some of the extras that help make like a little nicer, more fun, more worth going through. Things that put a smile on our kids face and joy in the hearts of the entire family.
And, in some cases we may be talking about the difference in your home being warm and cozy or cold and uncomfortable all winter long.
Now, when faced with the truth of all of that doesn’t it help you to see this in a whole new light? Does it put a new perspective on what we are talking about here?
Then when you take into consideration that using bio-diesel also will help to cut down on pollution and save the environment- how can you even possibly consider NOT making the switch?
Add to that the fact that you could heat your home, run your car and everything else you need on bio-diesel for only 46 cents a gallon?
Imagine the SAVINGS!?
If you want more information about bio-diesel, how to make it, how to use it and how you too can switch to bio-diesel then all you need to do is to send a blank email to get our free e-book by sending a blank email to

You may also be wanting to know how you can make the switch, what can I use bio-diesel with, can I use it for my car? My truck? My mower? My generator? And, last but not least, how much is this all going to cost me anyway?
First of all, bio-diesel can be used with virtually any type of diesel engine. You can even use it to heat your home. You should be able to use bio-diesel with pretty much every diesel powered item that you own without going to too much time, trouble or expense.
Yeh, and how much will it cost? How will it save me any money when bio-diesel is selling for as much or more than gasoline is right now?
Right now I’m not talking about big companies making the switch to bio-diesel. I am talking about you and I, our friends, our family, our neighbors? The little guys. I am talking about every man, woman and child across America or in whatever country you are in because the cost of gas, propane or which ever fuel you use is so outrageous that we cannot go on like we are. We cannot continue to put our hard earned money into the pockets of big oil while we continue to struggle day after day and they have been enjoying record profits in the MILLIONS each month!
Is that fair?
Should you have to forget about a vacation because gas cost too much?
Should you have to tell your daughter that she has to stop going for her dance class because gas cost too much and that not only can you not afford the trips back and forth but that you need the cost of the dance class just for you to have gas to get back and forth to work?
Should you have to tell your son that he has to cancel his participating in football because you cannot afford the extra expense? That you need that extra money just to help to buy food for the family because the cost of groceries has skyrocketed?
Okay, I know. I drifted away from talking about bio-diesel. But I wanted to get across to you that we are not talking about saving a few pennies here we are talking about saving a way of life.

Free Wind Power Will Save You Money

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Is it possible to create free wind power without spending thousands of dollars? You may not think so but if you read this article you will find out that not only is it possible but that you too can actually do this.
Wind Power is FREE Energy Anyone Can Use…
For anyone with a few tools and a little time you can DIY
You know, they say that if you wait long enough that everything comes back into style and I suppose that can be said about the ‘new’ trend to switch to wind power energy.
You might not remember, maybe you weren’t around back then, but back in the 70’s there was an energy crisis (much like now). People were going to alternative energies in an effort to save money and become more self-sufficient.
Many people were switching to using windmills for power. They realized that after the initial cost that their power would be free. And right now we are having a lot of people making the same realization.
Now, with the price of everything skyrocketing we are seeing a trend to go ‘back’ to wind power in order to save more and gain our independence from big power bills.
But, there are many people out there that just can’t afford to pay thousands of dollars to have a wind power system installed. With the economy as it is many people desperately want and need free power but could never come up with the thousands of dollars necessary to have it.
Sure you can save a lot of money in the long run, and help the environment, but to come up with all of that money up front is just not doable for many in these tough economic times.
Now, what if I told you that if you have some basic tools with a little common sense that you could switch to wind power for a mere fraction of what others are paying?
Ok, so maybe thousands of dollars for free power is out of reach of your financial capabilities. But, what if you could get most of the supplies for free or pay just pennies on the dollar?
What if you could get those expensive batteries necessary for storing the energy for FREE?
Yes, FREE! Imagine the savings here.
These batteries can cost you a hundred dollars each or more and you need several but we can tell you how you can get them for free.
Even if you have no experience you could still manage to do this. Just get a friend, or family member, that knows something about DIY projects help you.
Use some common sense and basic safety precautions and you could have your own wind power system put together and installed, many times, within a matter of days.
If you could have free power for the rest of your life what would that be worth to you?
How much do you pay for your electric bill every month?
$50?
$100?
$200?
At $50 a month that would be a savings of $600 in a year and $6000 (actually more with inflation) over a ten year span.
Figure $200 a month for one year you would save $2400 and over a ten year span you could save over $24,000!!!
NOW do you see the sense in having your own wind power system?
Wouldn’t you rather have $24,000 in YOUR pocket. How about investing it for your retirement? The children’s college fund?
What if you could get all of the plans for free wind power AND we will include (at no extra charge) plans for you to make use of wind, how to make you own diesel fuel & MORE!
Many people pay $2-5,000 or more to have FREE wind power systems installed.
Imagine how great it would be if you could get the plans, and learn how to get your supplies free or really low cost, and be able to have your own wind power system built and installed for only a couple of hundred dollars.
If you would like to get out of the rut of paying for your power every month…
If you would rather have that money in YOUR pocket instead of the power companies?
Wouldn’t life be better if you didn’t have to pay a power bill every month?
Over 12 years of living off the grid has been the basis for learning first hand what works and what doesn’t.
This information can help you to become self-sufficient with your own wind power, wind power, diesel fuel, etc.

Gardening for Self Sufficiency

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Every year my son, Josh, and I try to grow a bigger and better garden.

This year is no different. We are in the process of enlarging the garden by cutting down some of the trees near the garden and adding on to, and moving where it is needed, our fence around the garden.

We would like to have that whole area that we are adding to the garden be filled with raised beds. We will do this as we are able but it will be a big job. It may be next year before we have them all done but we will work toward our goal and accomplish it.

Last year we planted more cabbage than ever before and it STILL was not enough. Course part of the reason was that our chickens got into the garden and made complete pigs out of themselves by eating numerous heads of cabbage as well as some other vegetables.

So, this year we decided to plant a LOT more cabbage as well as other crops.

We are hoping to have a root cellar/storm shelter ready before Fall in which to store as much of our garden produce as possible for eating throughout the Winter months.

I read recently that for every $60 spent on seed and plants that you can harvest as much as $2,000 worth of food.

THAT is incentive enough for everyone to plant and grow something for their family to eat. With food prices being about triple what they were just a few short years ago we all need to do what ever we can to save money.

Growing your own food also ensures that you and your family are getting the freshest, most nutrient dense food possible without the loss of nutrition that comes with long transportation, picking while green and covering with waxes like you find at the market.

This year Josh and I have been doing some studying to try to determine which crops produce more for the space they require & the time needed to grow.

Some Space Intensive crops include:

Beets & turnips-

as you can eat both tops and bottoms without a lot of waste

Radishes

- they are fast growing and fit in anywhere. They also make good markers of where you have planted other crops as they come up fast and mature fast so they will show you where you have already planted and yet they will be out of the way fast for the other crop to mature.

Pole beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, vine squash

- plant plenty and grow them up on to fences, fence panels or netting of some kind. The trick is to grow them up so you have room to plant a LOT more and harvest a LOT more

We also are looking at crops that are easy to store in a root cellar in order to cut down on any processing needed.

Our freezer went this year without warning and we had $1-2,000 worth of food put aside, in order to be stocked up for emergencies,. that was lost.

This was food that we have bought on sale, had given to us or grew ourselves. It didn’t cost us that much at the time but to replace it would. We cannot afford that so we want to use methods where we will not have to worry about that happening again.

Our top picks for storage will be dehydrating, canning and cold storage in a root cellar.

We hope to pick up another freezer if we can find a good deal but we don’t ever want to rely on just that 1 method of food storage again as the loss of all of that food hit us hard

Here are some of the crops that we have found to be good for storing in a root cellar

Root Cellar Storage Crops:

Cabbage

Onions

Garlic

Winter Squash
