Urban Survival Secrets

Secret source for buying bulk staples

Good Evening Fellow Urban Survivalists,

Today was a great day for me and I hope it was for you as well.  Have you ever noticed how your outlook changes when a really positive attitude is happening?

Barring the Health Care Fiasco that the Liberals are pushing (Special Interest CRAP in my mind) I felt that things were really good today and fall is finally in the air.  So, be an ant and get to your food storage.

One thing to think about is this – where to get supplies for your basic storage for good prices.  You can get into a coop or other buying group – that is if the others are diligent.   You can go it alone, then do all the packaging, etc.  Another tact is to use a secret source which is right in front of most of you. No, it is not the government – Yeach!

The source I am talking about is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon’s).  Please, lets not get into a philosophical discussion on religion.  Our country is based on the freedom of religion, plain and simple.

So, how do you use this source?  You probably know a Mormon or two, so it is really easy.  Ask them about food storage.  Interesting thing is that they are most likely able to discuss it or knows someone who can discuss it at length.  Then you can ask about getting supplies.  Most congregations (wards or branches) have orders which come from the cannery.  You can purchase items like dehydrated apples, potato pearls, and other grains in #10 cans or Mylar sacks.  Typically, there is an oxygen absorber pack in it as well.

Heck, if there is a LDS cannery near by, you can even voulenteer to assist in a packaging job and buy supplies.

The person to check with is the Relief Society President (get her number from the Bishop or the Branch President).  Then ask her about the food storage program – she will get you in touch with a specialist who can assist in planning your storage needs if needed.

Don’t worry, they will not require you to get baptized or go through some secret ritual just to purchase food!  They will stay in touch with you if you ask on upcoming orders though and actually treat you nicely!
