• High-Tech Ceramic Filter Elements at the heart of our natural process micro-filter are patented high-tech ceramic filter elements specifically designed for our AquaRain Gravity Fed Water Filter Purifier system.

• Our state-of-the-art ceramic elements filter water in a very natural way, using gravity to gently draw water down through our "cultured" ceramic stone in much the same manner as nature processes ground water through the earth.

• Each filter element has a patented end-of-life gauge for filter replacement.

• The microfine pore structure of our ceramic media will remove dangerous waterborne pathogens such as protozoan cysts - Cryptospordium, Giardia Lamblia - and microscopic bacteria - E. coli, Samonelli typhus, etc.

• Enclosed within the hard ceramic shell we have incorporated a concentrated bed of Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) that contains a self-sterilizing metallic silver. The silvered GAC bed will adsorb various organic chemicals such as MTBE and pesticides, remove chlorine compounds including carcinogenic halogens, and improve the taste and odor of the water.

• To the benefit of good health, the Aqua Rain will also leave unchanged the naturally occurring electrolytes and minerals in your filtered water.

The term may be extended by removing the oxygen from the containers.

Five or six-gallon sealable buckets have a relatively inexpensive way to store food, as well as the use of oxygen absorbers is an effective way to address the problem of oxygen inside the bucket. Make sure you use a sturdy sealable bucket as oxygen absorbers create a vacuum inside the container.

Can you put the oxygen absorbers in vacuum-packed food Sealer? I would like to buy local products, dry them himself to make their own dry food mail to save money.

I do not think that you will need to put the oxygen absorbers in the vacuum packaging sealer. The sealer should be sufficient to remove oxygen. Drying your own food and storing it in a vacuum packaging Sealer is a good idea.

However we have heard of people who reported the use of smaller 100cc oxygen absorbers in Vacuum Sealer Bags. He placed them inside of their 6-gallon mylar bag lined bucket. Thus,  being able to preserve the diversity of the products in 6-gallon bucket for easy use and felt assured that his food is devoid of oxygen, and thus, error free.

By Frank Salvo

There are several advantages to freeze drying food over other preservation methods. The freeze drying process is actually a three step process. Preparing a freeze dried meal requires only one step. You just add water.

There are many advantages of freeze drying over other traditional food preparation methods. These advantages make freeze dried food ideal for long term food storage programs.

Foods that are frozen retain their fresh flavor and nutritional content, but they also require constant, low temperature storage conditions, and most importantly electrical power. Canned and dehydrated foods are shelf-stable, but the high temperatures used in manufacturing can alter the flavor, texture and nutritional value of the food. Freeze drying comprises the best of these other processing methods. Freshness, aroma, and color are similar to frozen food, while also providing the shelf stability of dehydrated and canned food.

For different foods, the freeze drying process varies with temperature, time, pressure, and other intermediate steps. Bacterial counts are first taken of the foods. Depending on its original size, the food may next be cut into smaller pieces. For example, because thick meats do not take well to freeze drying, they must be cut into smaller chunks.

Meat and seafood are then cooked before freeze drying. Fruits and vegetables are washed first. Some vegetables such as peas and corn have to be blanched.

The food is flash frozen next by placing it on trays, the trays placed on carts, and the carts rolled into cold rooms where the temperature reaches as low as -40 F.

The carts are then wheeled from the cold room into the vacuum drying chamber. There, a process known as sublimation takes place. Sublimation of an element or compound is a transition from the solid to gas phase with no intermediate liquid stage. This is accomplished by first removing the air in the chamber with a vacuum pump. Next, the temperature is raised to 100 F.

Because the pressure in the vacuum chamber is below the point where water can simultaneously exist as a solid, liquid, and gas, (this is called the triple point), the heat causes the ice crystals to immediately change into water vapor. The water vapor is then removed from the chamber, leaving on the food behind.

At this point, the dried food will have small voids or pockets, similar to a sponge. These voids are where the ice crystals where present. At this stage, the food will absorb water much more easily when it is prepared for eating.

Next, the freeze dried food is tested for moisture content and purity. Some foods will then be broken into smaller pieces, or even grounded into a powder. The different ingredients for a meal are then blended together and the end result is packaged in airtight containers such as pouches or cans. This prevents them from absorbing moisture from the air.

In the end, freeze-dried foods have several advantages over other types of foods used in long term food storage. Freeze dried foods retain all the fresh taste and nutritional content of frozen foods. Also, unlike dehydrated foods which shrink and shrivel under the high temperature drying process, freeze dried foods maintain their original shape and texture. They also weigh less than fresh food and take much less storage space. As long as they are kept in their original packaging, these foods stay fresh longer and can be stored at room temperatures.

It comes as a surprise to most people that it is very possible to do so. It just requires a little planning and work. But those who have done it agree that it is worth the efforts. Let's take a quick overview of three basic needs for a self-sufficient life.

1. Water

This is the first item because it is such a vital and for which so many people depend on municipal supplies. The best and most ideal way to provide water for your family on a sustainable basis, with a spring or brook, which runs for about a year. Although it is challenging to find, there are rural properties, which are accessible to those of surface water sources. The next best choice is a private good that I include the upfront investment, but well will provide water for many decades. If you are unable to move in yet, it's a good idea to own quality water filter that you can provide your family with safe drinking water in times of crisis.

2. Food

The city has an average of only about three days with food, and when the crisis has emptied the shelves in a hurry. Even many people who live in rural areas more dependent on the grocery stores for food, while disruptions in the transportation system can quickly lead to the same problem - empty shelves in supermarkets. There is no reason why people can not grow much of their own food - unless they have a place to do it. As this post written on the edge of the spring is an ideal time to make your garden started.  But enough self-defense of life also includes training for food and. This will allow your family to enjoy year around the more food you grow yourself.

3. Warm

Most people rely on electricity and gas for heating their homes. A better alternative to using a wood stove. There are many options when it comes to wood stoves, but we recommend that you consider the wood cook stove, because it can serve two purposes - as home heating, as well as a way to make cooking and baking. There are excellent quality wood cook stoves currently available, but we recommend Flame type model, which is Amish, and the highest quality.

Country Living ...

You can see that this is just a given that the country life goes hand in hand with self-sufficient life. If you still live in the city, however, you can begin to put these things into practice. If you want to get out of the city start putting your mind to work in this direction, and ask God for help. With careful research, planning and help from above - you can make this move.

There are other things we can do to become more self-sufficient. For example, we can learn to make our own soap, clothing, lotions and other personal care needs, such as a natural means of using herbs.

There are a lot of people looking at survival food and supplies for the first time due to concerns about an economic depression.

At first you can see MRE as a good choice as it is totally ready to eat. MRE or meals ready to eat are the type of food rations the military uses.

There are two general types of MRE out there; military and commercial. The military version is for the military and it prohibited from re-sale to consumers. You can find military MRE on eBay. Commercial MRE comes from the same food companies that produce the military MRE except that it has been branded as for consumer use. Some of the contents are different and MRE enthusiasts generally prefer military MRE however commercial MRE has sufficient calories so that your daily requirement RDA can be met with 2 meals.

MRE has been used by campers and as a disaster preparedness food.

Here are some the MRE advantages;

* easy to prepare - actually nothing to prepare just open and eat it

* easy to heat - flameless heaters heat in 10 minutes just add small amount of water to a non-chemical pouch

* shelf life is 5 or more years if stored in a cool dry place

However there are some disadvantages;

* cost is high $6 to $7 per meal

* cheaper eBay sold products maybe old or bad because they were left in the desert before they were sold

* government frowns on sale of Military MRE to consumers

* freeze dried food in #10 cans last longer, up to 25 years in the same cool dry conditions

* some people complain about taste and digestion particularly after a few weeks of consuming MRE for every meal

Freeze dried food is also used by the military and other government agencies as disaster relief supplies. As mentioned above freeze dried food lasts up to 25 years according to Mountain House freeze dried food (they have been in business over 40 years).

Freeze dried food has added benefits of being cheaper around $3 to $4 per meal. The taste of freeze dried food is very close to the original taste. To prepare freeze dried food all you have to do is add water. It will hydrate in a few minutes. If you have hot water then you have a hot meal.

MRE is best for short term use when ultra readiness is required or you are traveling. Freeze dried food is best for long term as it is cheaper and tastes better.

There are many reasons why you should store food for your family today.

Some reasons to have food storage:

The only certainty about the future is that there is no certainty. Storing food for your family is one of the most conservative but practical step you can take. Nobody knows what can and what will affect the functioning of society or specifically food distribution. Hence if we stocked with food, you will eliminate the hassle.

It is tremendously important to store and fair size quantities of emergency food and water in our homes. Why?

Possible disruptions in the food supply may be caused by a number of factors: (Note the best estimates of the time period necessary for self-sufficiency.)

  • Loss of employment / unemployment
  • Economic Downturn
  • Quarantine
  • Erratic weather - Drought
  • Earthquakes, hurricanes and floods?
  • Contamination of food
  • To avoid dependence on the commercial centers of food storage
  • Transport Disruptions
