Good morning,

The info in above link provided by the Food Marketing Institute. It’s focus is mostly to business and industry – but not exclusively. There is much info in this link that’s useful to the sophisticated prepper. This link has some good sub-links eg “Food Safety in a Disaster or Emergency”.

What is worthwhile to the prepper is knowing that a full freezer provides much longer temperature control than a half-full freezer.  This can be called the “win-win” situation. Look for items on sale and get. Already-purchased stuff for when adverse conditions hit, yields lower frozen food costs – along with the safety aspect.

For avid readers that hyperlinked pocket guide … yes, it’s mostly business/industry focused … provides good background info for the private citizen prepper. The page 5 quote got my attention: “Well Begun Is Half Done.” Aristotle.

……

Not mentioned in this link but one of the best restaurant food safety programs I’ve read about is that of Waffle House.

I am now in the mood for a triple hashbrowns smothered in ………………..

I take empty mason jars and fill them with water to fill up the extra empty space in my fridge to make it more energy efficient. And if I go grocery shopping and come home with some groceries that need to go in there, then I pull out the mason jars and I have nice cold drinking water. Don’t do this trick in the freezer though… You don’t need to be cleaning up shattered glass from the expanding water. For my freezer I take a piece of styrofoam that I had gotten in with some Amazon package years ago and place that in my freezer to take up some extra room. 

 

Good afternoon Liz,

Real good preparedness re the mason jars in refrigerator and styrofoam in freezer.
