I think I got the broken links fixed. I was missing an "s" in the facebook group links. Oopsies! Thanks for the heads up :)

I don't suppose you realize there is no approved method for canning bacon? I know it's oh so tempting to do, but how do you know how much time or pressure to give it? Let's freeze bacon instead. If you choose to take risks for you and your family, that's up to you, but I would hope you wouldn't tell others how to do this when the method is purely from your own experience and not proper methods. :)

Most links don't work, too bad because most of the things would be really helpful.

I recently had to change web hosts and in the process it broke a lot of my download links. I believe I have them all working now though. I apologize for any inconvenience.

You are right that having those items and storing real foods is ideal, but if you need to leave or evacuate or just want these on hand for the emergency, they are great and ready to go.

you're welcome, I do have an alternate that uses a single piece of charcoal at a "wick" but this is more for a larger open mini camp fire kind of thing, use it for light and heat, or make s'mores. he-he

I use a simpler system on my front porch, and safer besides. Take 2 cans, one small, one big (I use a small tin coffee can and a tomato past can my self.) Put a layer of sand in the bottom of the coffee can to level the second can and finish filling the coffee can to almost level with the small can (this depends on how big the small can is, or how high you want it), fill the smaller can with lamp oil (not a lot just a splash) and fill the second can again with sand, add grill or lighter fluid (note if you use grill fluid it is somewhat harder to light) and light. The fluid burns slow and steady. (I modified this from an old army trick) You can cook off this setup. The outer layer of sand means the sides of the can is cool. (keep in mind that this is an open flame and watch your children. making a large cut in the larger lid directs the flame and the smaller can be used to snuff out the fire. No tp needed. But if you want one I would think that twine would be a better call.

I like our butane stove better than our propane stove for alternative cooking. It's so lightweight and simple to use, and the fuel seems to last a really long time.
Also it is said you can use them indoors, but then add a carbon monoxide detector to the master list, if you want to use your butane stove inside. You would want to make sure a working CO detector is around.

I gave more full instructions on this blog post! http://yourthrivelife.com/2... You will always need to boil water in a big pot since it takes 9 cups. Then you would pour the contents out of the jar (or bag or whatever you packaged it in) and cook into tortellinis are soft. It usually takes about 15 minutes. Hope that helps!

So, I watched last months video where you talked about Chicken Tortellini in a Jar. Here's what I want to know. How do you cook it once all the ingredients are in the jar? Is there a specific amount of water you use? If I wanted to put it in a container that isn't made of glass (to take on a camping trip), could I just dump the contents into a pan of boiling water and still get the deliciousness of Chicken Tortellini out of it?

I consider it shelf stable because the ingredients are shelf stable. I would say they would last cooked on the counter for a week or so with no problems though. Just like cookies or any other similar baked good.

How shelf stable is it? How long will it last? If you go through a batch in a week...

In what ways do the events in the books reveal evidence of the author's worldview?
Did certain parts of the book make you uncomfortable? If so, why did you feel that way? Did this lead to a new understanding or awareness of some aspect of your life you might not have thought about before?
