Just getting started building a pantry? This is the book for you! The author, Angela Paskett has created a well written, comprehensive guide that answers every question you could possibly think of regarding food storage. There's advice on what types of food you should pack in an emergency kit, how to figure out how much to store in your pantry for both long and short term emergencies, and recommendations for the best places to store it. The book includes information on water storage, step-by-step instructions for canning, dehydrating tips, packing suggestions and I loved the section on sustainable food storage which covers everything from gardening to raising animals to hunting and fishing.
I can’t stress it enough. This is a must have book for food storage beginners. It will become your go-to reference over and over again. Personally, I’m such a fan of Angela’s book that I’ve ordered a few more to give out to friends.

This is a great book for beginning as well as more experienced people interested in food storage. Very well written; easy to read and understand. So many common sense suggestions with respect to planning and organizing your approach to food and water storage. Really appreciated the work sheets in the back of the book to help with organizing your storage. The section on using your food storage definitely brought some things forward I had not thought about before reading the book. I plan to buy more copies of this book as birthday gifts for various members of my family this year. Everyone should know how this is done and why it just makes good sense to store food - period!

5.0 out of 5 stars Traffic prep book you can pair with many other things get ready
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2019

Considering all that is happening in the world today with most of our crops not being planted due to the in line lakes all over the United States bread basket also known as the mid West it is smart to start learning how to preserve fresh foods and dried foods properly to keep yourself and your family and friends from getting sick and/or dying from improper storage.
If you do not store your food correctly as the FDA says there are many diseases such as botulism and certain molds that can kill you but are even more dangerous to children
I recommend this book and others like it for everybody who's responsible for feeding their families. I would also recommend getting a book on wild edibles because if there is a time when the grocery store shelves go bare you're gonna have to know what is OK to eat and what is not and there are some plants out there where only the tuber is Edible and not the plant or vice a versa.
This book would be greatly paired with a wild edible book and also even better would be pairing it with various size jars and lids as well as a book on canning, a pressure canner and a sealer with plenty of bags or roles of bags you can size yourself. There are also buckets 5 and 6 gallon buckets but you must remember to also add my large bags to this to keep out air which can make things go rancid or amoled and to keep out insects.
I hope this will post because it's very important that we all start learning how to take care of ourselves especially with the earthquakes in California and along the West Coast as well as the dire situation our farmers are having in the Midwest.
I wish you all the best of luck and thank the seller for selling such a great book

This is an really good basic instructional book. Well thought out, well laid out, up to date, with all sorts of clever stuff inside. It is easy to read but remains high quality for information levels. Whether you are just starting up or have been doing this sort of stuff for a while, it has essential information anyone could use more of--a lot of which keeps you from having to dig out multiple books to find.

This would be a smart gift for anyone into self-sufficiency.

5.0 out of 5 stars In most prepper handbooks food and food storage is almost neglected
Reviewed in Canada on January 18, 2016

In most prepper handbooks you will find a short chapter on food storage, but in her excellent nuts and bolts book Author Paskett has taken the time to make food and the important need to understand and how to store it a priority. Without a doubt you won’t go wrong including this easy to follow and professionally laid out book in your preppers library collection. Angela Paskett’s doesn’t just focus on the needs of the prepper society, she wants to help your whole family; from cover to cover you will find all the information needed to understand, without scaring you with apocalyptic details of the end. As someone who is just learning how to store food I found Author Paskett’s little energy bar recipe for my 72 hour kits very easy to bake and tasty. To be honest the first batch didn’t even make it to my BOB or the second not even the third batch, I finally had to put my foot down and stop eating them. OK I’m addicted and that was on page 14. The Food Storage book is completely dedicated to all the food groups fresh, wet and dry, all methods storage that you should consider for long term events that can keep you in your home waiting it out H2O storage is also included. Are you new to prepping? Then let Angela Paskett’s home reference book help and teach you how to store your food for the long and short disasters. Burntrootbroadcasting.com
