Great site! I am interested in preparedness in urban areas. I live in a 2 bedroom apt for now and I am looking for ways to maximize my capacity for storage. Also, what unique challenges do people face when preparing for emergencies in highly populated areas.

Thanks. I am looking forward to following this blog.

Thanks

I just recently started ordering from your company and love it.

I would love to see a layout for a storage area – the most efficient way of laying one out that is with four limited walls…

I'd like to read about what people who live in urban areas without a bug-out plan can do to "shelter in place."

I would like to read a discussion about storing water. I'm confused about the bleach issue – that is, some bleaches are okay and others may be harmful. Thank you, Sherree

Nice blog! I would like to hear more about the garden seeds that you carry and how to use them, how to gather the next crop, and how to store them so they last a long time.

I love your new blog. It's very professionally done, very pretty. I suggest Tweeting on Twitter, as well. It's becoming a must have for everyone these days. Instant gratification in tiny sound bites is where it's all at, unfortunately. I'm definitely following your blog!

I think I'd like to see lots and lots of recipes. Some with specialty items, but mostly with basic food storage items.

I also am pleased to see this addition to your business line. I also write a preparedness blog and include many of you products in it.

I would like to see techniques and recipies for unique items like tomato powder, butter and shortening powder, dehydrated eggs. I know these type of items mystify many.

Also, consider have guest bloggers (like some of the authors of the books you carry) to talk about topics or just spotlight them once in a while.

Thank you for a wonderful service

I would like to know about how to prepare ourselves from some of the atmospheric warming, especially living in a super hot state that is noticeably hotter (breaking records again this year). The other thing I would like to know about is emergency protection from viruses, chemical warfare types (bacteria, man-made germ warfare, etc.). I see the water purification kits, which will be good. I am also wondering about protecting the skin and from air we breathe. I was pleased to see that even in super hot climates some of your food will last at least a month. I was also pleased to see some organic fruits listed in your catalog. I haven't placed my first order yet, but will soon.

Congrats on the new blog. I love Blogger and have been using them for years. Facebook and Twitter links would be good too if you have those set up.

Brandi

WOW — I love that there will be a new Emergency Essentials blog!! I will definitely follow it!

I would love to hear more about the basics that we should be storing in order to complete our three-month food supply. Any great recipes that could be posted that will help us achieve this three-month supply goal would be great also!! I'm always looking for new, simple, yet tasty food storage recipes! Thanks!!

I would love easy, easy, just add water recipes for items you can buy at a grocery store to help supplement my food storage (grains, legumes, etc.). I have one for a cake mix, but I want more.

Lately we've heard a lot in the news about the possibility of a pandemic. What would be the implications in terms of food storage, water storage, and fuel storage if we were to have a pandemic?

Thanks for the opportunity!
