Considering how difficult it still is to find nitrile gloves, how effective are nitrile dipped work gloves, the kind you might use for plumbing or gardening projects? For example https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07K38Y41L/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_GIp0EbQ7DD3NW They’re not disposable, so not ideal. But I’m thinking that if you have a few pairs you rotate through, leaving enough time for the virus to degrade between uses, it could be a suitable substitution? If love to hear the community’s and the experts thoughts.
What’s wrong with 1 or 2 items a month? That’s how many people do it, myself included. I’d guess that very few of the people using this site are making one big trip to Cabela’s and calling it “done”. I wish I had a resource like The Prepared when I started my 1 or 2 items per month years ago because I would have made better decisions about what i was prioritizing, which products within a category were overpriced, and most importantly that knowledge and skills are even more important than buying stuff.
Hi, I I’m hoping someone could give me some food storage advice. I’m out of smaller mylar bags but have some larger ones. Too large for any single item I want to store. Is it safe to put items I would use together – say, sugar and flour – in individual zippered bags inside the mylar bags? Do the zippered bags leech over time, or do you think the smells/flavors would mix? Thanks in advance!
Is there a clear advantage to carrying the medications (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, etc) in liquid vs pill vs chewable form? I’d think liquid is easier to administer to weakened partners, but weighs more and take more space. Perhaps one form has a longer shelf life? Anything else for the average person to consider?
