I’m not sure how each of us, lists our priorities for survival. However, I believe we all can agree that, we need water, food, medical gear, and weapons/ammo – and how you prioritize your list, is a personal thing. When (not if) things go “bad” and they are going bad with each passing day – if you get your news off the ‘net, instead of the lamestream “news” media, you will readily recognize that things are going south, a little bit more with each passing day. Riots are a main focus – and much of the “news” media still continues to call these things “mostly peaceful protests” (if they are conducted by fellow liberals) all the while you can see they are riots. Wars and rumors or wars – going on all over the world, but the “news” doesn’t even report on any of this. Changing weather – tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding – take your choice. And, let’s not forget about political changes, especially all the talk about gun control now that Biden and Harris are in the White House.
Personally, I’m not sure how I place my priorities, I guess it depends on the day of the week. At times, guns and ammo are on the top of my list. Other days, we elect to add to our survival food supply. As to water, we have our own well, and two fast running creeks within a few hundred yards of our homestead. Still, you can’t live very long without water. I have several generators. However, none are big enough (watt rating) to start the pump in my well. I hope to correct that one day. So, as a last resort we can obtain water from a creek and treat it so that it is drinkable.
We have a good food supply, with a mix of frozen foods, canned foods, freeze-dried/dehydrated, etc., but we don’t depend on just one type of food for survival purposes. Plus, we have to take into consideration, special diets – I’m a diabetic, and I can’t just eat any old foods, or my blood sugar will soar out of sight. I also have hypertension – I have to watch to make sure I don’t eat foods with too much salt. So, we’re always on the lookout for types of food I can eat, on a regular basis.
Enter Nutrient Survival foods and they recently sent me a large selection of their survival goods to test for our readers. Now, keep in mind that, many freeze-dried or dehydrated foods lose some of their nutrients. This just happens in the process of preparing them for long-term storage use, and over time. Canned foods also lose some of their nutrient values as well – therefore in my family we all take a daily multiple vitamin to help offset this loss of nutrients in most of the foods that we consume. What is different about Nutrient Survival Foods is that they also contain supplemental nutrients of various types. Here’s an example…12-grams of G. Protein, 14 vitamins, 12 minerals, 509 MG Grams of Omega 3, along with 6-grams of fiber. And that’s just in one of their products – it varies with each product. Now, I’m no expert on nutrition, to be sure, however, I know that our bodies need certain things to function to their fullest.Continue reading“Nutrient Survival Foods, by Pat Cascio”
