Emergency Food Storage and Survival Handbook by Peggy Layton
August 27, 2009 by Bob Livingston
Natural disasters, the possibility of food shortages and the threat of some type of terrorist attack on American soil have brought the idea of crisis preparation out of the fringe shadows and into the mainstream. And no other topic in this vein is more popular than emergency food storage.
So Peggy Layton’s, Emergency Food Storage and Survival Handbook is a must-have for anyone prepping for an emergency.
Layton, a home economist, author and lecturer, has written five books on home food storage and cooking. In her latest she leaves nothing out. And the methods she encourages won’t break the bank.
Layton begins by stressing what will be needed for short-term emergencies. But she goes beyond food needs; covering evacuation planning, emergency kits, shelter and first aid. She provides a suggested list of practical items that must be included.
For the short-term emergency, Layton describes what is needed for 72-hour emergency survival and then gets into long-term survival methods.
Photos and lists accompany each of her subjects as she describes how to keep, collect and purify water and how to organize food storage. She covers sleeping arrangements and sanitation. She also covers how to purchase in bulk and store and rotate what you have.
After discussing what to purchase, how and why, Layton begins to help you tailor your purchases to the needs and tastes of your family.
One great feature of the book is her charts which will help you plan your storage by planning meals ahead of time. Doing this her way ensures you don’t forget any of the ingredients you’ll need for your meals.
Other charts she includes are for inventory planning and they cover everything from condiments to cooking and communication to gardening.
The final third of the book is dedicated to preparing and cooking the foods you have stored. There are also a large number of recipes using the foods she recommends.
If you are serious about emergency preparation and emergency food storage this book is one you should definitely have in your library.
The Muslems have openly said that they will not stop
until the ‘Muslem flag’ is flown over the WhiteHouse.
Obama(I believe is one himself) is excellerating the
process in plan. In just one area, the Zars creation!
They account to no one and are squeezing out the branches
of Government, and when he has enough to override the
Governments Policies, America is G-O-N-E-. Good-bye!
I truly hope the people will see this before it is to late
We must take our country back from the power hungry socialists. Lets start in 2010 and again in 2012.
This will all be to late, once he signs away our sovereignty in December, we will no longer have a constitution, our Military will have no “Oath to keep” or be able to keep it. We need to act NOW, it can NOT wait. There will be high gas prices, shortage of food, riots and murder in the streets,our rights will no longer be.
Wolfman,
I hear you. Historically Americans knew what “American” meant. As America prospered citizens were proud of our country and proud to be Americans.
I believe that all our prosperity (which I appreciate) and the fact that our enemies are now reduced and diverse (our fascist or communist threats having been defeated) and the concept of globalism propelled by technology has diluted the seriousness that people in general used to have, automatically. And after two generations of the media pounding on the pride of being American, and young people growing up who never knew the seriousness of life of previous generations, the term has lost its meaning to many.
It doesn’t help that the political elite now view “Americans” as simply consumers. Citizenship doesn’t matter to them.
Well, it still matters to you and to me and to many real Americans. Much of our effort is directed towards those real Americans to whom it does matter.
Keep up the fight. Keep letting your elected officials know how you feel. (I refuse to call them leaders any more).
I liked your last line.
Hang in there, we’re with you, we’re real Americans.

In today’s world what is a American ? Are you a American Citizen or just a American ? Every body (including the politicians) are throwing this word American around like it has no meaning as if you have your feet on American soil you are automatically an American. I am a an real American Legal Citizen and loyal to just one country and this country is The United States America and resent these people (including President Obama) just calling us all Americans as it is a lot more than that to me. If you don’t know the difference send me a E-mail and I will try to explain it to you. on second thought don’t even bother

As we work to make changes in our government, let us not forget to also
make our request known to the ONE who governs all things, as we work to
participate as best we can with our Creator.
Thank You::: we as a great nation sometimes forget why this country has been great for so long now.
Islam is not a peaceful religion. Forget what Muslems tell us. Actions, always let you know where a person or group is comimg from.
Look around the world, where is all the violence coming from? Islam and Muslems. So, don’t give that crap, Islam is a religion of peace.
I’m sure there millions of so called good Muslems. If they are so good, why don’t they stand up and get rid of the radicals, than they could call themselves the religion of peace. I tell you why they don’t, they agree with the radicals. They all want Islam to rule the world one day.
