When I am thinking of long term food needs it really isnt about short disruptions (like a snow storm here) but long term food shortages. Beyond small water carboys, people should also consider rain catchment systems and purification methods. Will check out your blog! Hannah: Indeed, water is very important.

Lots of info there. I hope you can find a community garden there. I wonder what mormons in NYC do (space is limited and community gardens are limited, etc) Chou: thanks for the link!

Water is more important than food. The human body can go for a while without food, but after 3 days without water, it will begin to shut down. For other food storage tips, check out our blog! It's a step-by-step guide for beginners and non-beginners alike! I hope it can help you. Hannah http://safelygatheredin.blogspot.com/ I can’t stress enough the importance of water storage!!

I grew up in a household of food storage gurus (um, yeah, mormon :) and hated the yearly canning extravaganza that resulted. Now, though, when I hear that my mother is canning salsa or working in her garden I can't help but think how wise she is. In case you or your readers are not aware of it, the LDS church has a website devoted to food storage and how to start <a href="http://providentliving.org/channel/0,11677,1706-1,00.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. My personal storage is focused on lentils (which I love) and legumes, with some wheat, dried milk, flour, oats and sugar to supplement it. As we just moved to NYC, I am still trying to figure out where I will garden this next year. I appreciate your careful outlining of what you are doing to prepare.

I am so sorry that its like that there.. I wish the city would ease these sorts of things a bit as times grow tougher. I know that Cambridge, MA allows chickens - if they do Detroit should! You can do a whole lot with 1 acre! I know you all are working hard at it too. Chickens can be done stealthily (certainly do not need pesky roosters!) I am thinking of getting a community hen house started for people to share the load and share the eggs! Linda: Dont even get me started on Palin! I am so sorry that its like that there..

I only have an acre of land. We're not allowed to have farm animals here...I know there are hidden farms in Detroit but we don't give out that info so the City will stay off their backs. I don't know what we'll do when everything goes kerplunk...and you know it will. Oh to be oil-free!
