My little family has been trying to follow the Commandment to have a family home storage, including working towards having at least a 1 year supply of food, as well as preparing for different emergencies.

At present, I am emphasising two things; communication and cooking.  As a result, I have picked up a cheap ham radio and am studying to take the ham radio license test.  In addition, I am trying to learn to make more food with our long-term food storage items.  And, since we never know what kind of desaster may happen, I recently got a Global Sun Oven and have started making food on it.  One popular item in the Cox household (and among friends) is the whole wheat cookies found on page 107 of  the 200+ page Food Storage Recipes cookbook. Everyone who’s tried them has seemed to really like them!

This page contains various resources that we have found and are using in our Family Home Storage and Emergency Preparedness. These are presented in no particular order.
