Week 15

FOOD STORAGE:
12 pounds of butter (12 boxes) or 

3 - #10 cans of butter powder (which tastes amazing.)

Butter will store in the fridge for about a year. Butter powder, unopened and stored in a cool, dry place, will store up to 5 years. I get mine at Honeyville. Using their 10% case discount, you can expect to pay about $23 per can, unless it's on sale. Each can contains the equivalent of 4.75 lbs. of MADE butter per can, or 14.25 lbs. total. 

EXTRA ITEM:
3 month supply of dish soap

72 HOUR KIT:
CONGRATULATIONS! You now have a basic 72- hour kit. Check it often. Change or add things as needed. Next week we will start on the car kit.

FAMILY PREPAREDNESS:
Beware of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is an odorless, colorless gas that can be deadly in large concentrations or over long periods of time in low concentrations. It is a product of incomplete combustion. Check the furnace and flue and wood stove chimney regularly. Be cautious with any open flame heating or cooking devices and never use charcoal indoors. Install at least one CO detector in your home. Also educated yourself about Radon and consider purchasing a test kit for your home.

SPIRITUAL PREPAREDNESS:
Read the story of David and Goliath in 1Samuel 17. Pick one thing in your life that seems like a Goliath and work to overcome it.
