Survival Food: Popped Wheat

Make great, tasty whole wheat snack!

Suppose you have a lot of wheat berries stored for whatever disaster might happen. At some point, you might be wondering: What are some of the options for using this resource?
This is a great recipe to use whole wheat. It stores very well, and and this makes a fun snack. It is also great sprinkled on salads or as a topping for baked potatoes.
And perhaps best of all, this simple recipe can be cooked over a campfire in a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven. Click on this link to read the recipe

Getting Started With Off-Grid Cooking

An off-grid cooking system can start out as simply as getting a propane turkey or fish cooker and a Dutch oven.
Does this sound familiar? Somebody finds out you are a prepper or survivalist, or that you believe it is prudent to have some storage food, and they assume you’re somehow…a little strange. 
But once they learn a few facts, they may change their minds. The next question may be: “What do I do to get started?”
Here’s some good advice from Ann Gawith of  OfftheGridCooking @blogspot.com

Learn How to Use Your Long Term Storage Foods

Recipes and an off-grid setup are needed.
What happens if you have to live just off your food storage? Have you ever tried or used it?  If not, then “Jan’s Fabulous Food Storage Recipes” has some recipes you need!
It’s one thing to be set up  and prepared for off-grid cooking. But what happens when  (insert appropriate apocalyptic acronym) happens and all you have  to eat is the stored staples in your pantry. Do you know how to cook those foods?
Maybe you already have a couple of standard recipes that work well. But if you have to alternate them every-other-day, it won’t be long before diet monotony sets in and you have to force yourself to eat.
And that’s why this situation is dangerous. Small children and elderly folks might just quit eating, and that can put everyone at risk.  When a person is weak from lack of sustenance, they can’t function, and that could affect the larger group.
