Thank you for another valuable and amazing blog post! I so appreciate your wisdom! I see how steady and rational you are–you have a year’s worth of supplies- plus some–you are in good place. Thank you so much for sharing your peace and clear direction. You are a beacon and right now, we all need that–I NEED THAT! You give me hope and a path to see where I need to steer my ship. I want your peace, desperately, and you are giving me the target to aim for—I cannot thank you enough. All the scary stuff you had to endure, the riots, etc. has brought you to a place where you can guide and help others. I just want to say thank you!!

A Year Without a Grocery Store” is a great resource. The information provided is not only applicable in a grid down situation; it prepares you for those times when life throws a curve ball in the form of an illness, inclement weather or unexpected company.

Just wanted to say that I occasionally make pudding from scratch but it has NEVER come out as good as it did from your recipe! I used my usual whole wheat flour plus our homemade ghee . . . for the magic mix, then brown sugar and my homemade vanilla extract – it was amazing, thanks!!!

I bought your book “A Year Without the Grocery Store” last year, and read it and used it to help me think what I would need to keep my family as well fed and comfortable as possible in adverse situations. I have been on a prepping learning journey. I realized how far I had come when last week I had a cold that left me feeling really tired, and my son was poorly. I did not need to worry about food – we had it in the house already. I could prepare all our meals from the preps I had in our pantry, so I did not have to struggle out to get groceries. Thank you for making your prepping suggestions applicable to daily life, and not just about some existential threat. We are now recovered, and I have restocked what we used.

I had the pleasure of reading your book this week. Thank you for your hard work! This wasn’t my first introduction to the idea of preparedness and food storage, but your work supplied a very detailed view. Much appreciated!
