A place to share information on emergency preparedness as it relates to disasters both natural and man-made.

Would you survive in the event of economic, political and social collapse? What natural disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes or hurricanes are prevalent in your area? What can you do? What should you be doing now? What do you need to know/have?

This is a community for those who think that it's better to be safe than sorry, and that we need to start preparing now.

My wife and I are getting more and more into prepping, and one area I really want to break into is food preservation. We have a garden going, and I know we're going to have more than we can eat, so I'd like to save some over. However, whenever I start doing research into canning, it becomes very complicated very quickly, and a little overwhelming. What are some good ways to get some practical food preservation accomplished for the uninitiated? Currently, I'm looking at fermentation as a good way to preserve some of our vegetables, but without canning them, they are only safe in the fridge. I do know that it varies somewhat depending on the specific foods, so maybe include details like that a well.

I liked this episode of Live like the World is Dying: https://www.liveliketheworldisdying.com/s1e35-casandra-on-food-preserveration/

It does a decent job introducing canning, drying and fermentation.
