I open the boxes & put it into airtight containers the day I bring it home. I keep six or seven types on hand, depending on what I can find. They'd have to be put into a vacuum (not the cleaner). Really? They keep for several years without doing that. You can toss some desiccant packs in, if you're paranoid. |

So, no one in New England knows the proper way to store food? Glad to know that. What a trolling fool you are proving to be. Most people don't know that. Many of the people in the storm area consider themselves lucky to HAVE a box of pasta. Certainly some know how to pack food but most either don't know or haven't done it. You have a knack for going from the general to the specific and back to the general if it fits your silly games. By the way, we are all glad to learn New Jersey and New York City are in New England. Must have been a hell of a tidal push. |

Very thoughtful and on point. If only the intended audience would grab the excellent advice and run with it. Thanks. Sadly Stormie's not alone in wanting to help by sending "stuff." There is, however, a difference between meaning well and doing well. Sending money enables charitable groups to operate as efficiently as possible, a critical factor in post-disaster cleanup efforts. If I woke up and found myself a locksmith in NYS too poor to send a $20 check to the Red Cross, the SA or some other group, I would be looking for ways to promote my business. I'd start by writing articles for local newspapers, studying new products I could sell like electronic locks that key off your cellphone, or some other niche product or service I could specialize in. I certainly would NOT spend hours, days or weeks of my time on Usenet complaining how poor I was and how it was someone else's fault. I especially *wouldn't* consider myself a political or any other kind of expert if it was so apparent that I wasn't good enough at my chosen profession to be able to make a living. -- Bobby G. |

You've got a good point of view. Just seemed like the NYC people were
suffering greatly. Of course, they "could" have bought stuff before hand, if they had chosen to. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Noahbuddy" wrote in message eb.com...

I could only stay warm if I kept moving, so I did not sleep at all! I'm going to try it again this year with the same group. I have a MSS which I'm hoping will keep me warmer at night. I'm waiting for colder weather now so that I can test said theory by camping on my porch for a night in cold temps. |

You sat through a four hour class that told you what you had to do to be safe, and to survive three days at under -20F. Even then, some thought they were smarter than the instructors. Now that sounds like a challenge! I camped in winter for my first time last year and failed miserably! We spent one night in -5F temps and we traveled to our camping spot in in a storm. I could only stay warm if I kept moving, so I did not sleep at all! I'm going to try it again this year with the same group. I have a MSS which I'm hoping will keep me warmer at night. I'm waiting for colder weather now so that I can test said theory by camping on my porch for a night in cold temps. You used the tent half to make a lean to, then piled snow over it and one the open side & on the end facing the wind. The snow was insulation. You remove your arctic boots and put them inside the arctic sleeping bag with you, to prevent frostbite the next morning. You zip the sleeping bag up tight and just leave a big enough opening to breath. Done properly, it wasn't a cold or that uncomfortable night. |

I find myself in Costoc, etc, looking at the square jars and thinking "I want that jar, but I don't like peanut-butter stuffed pretzels - not that much." I have the same problem. It would be nice if one could find the maker of the jars and buy some. Google PEET or PETE jars at food preservation stores - Honeyville for one. The problem is they come with plain plastic lids. There is an extra cost lid that has a seal and claims to be equal to glass canning jars - but no one in the world has them in stock or seems to be able to get them. I mean nobody. I spent a day googling for them since I like the idea of "meals in a jar" and the plastic is a lot lighter than glass for stocking a trailer. I found a manufacturer, in China, that will sell the jars by the 100 thousand lot but they don't have sealing lids either. The PETE claims to not transmit oxygen, so the only weak spot is the lack of an available lid seal. Be aware, there are also concerns in some quarters about the material leeching cancerous agents but I'd think that's more of an issue with wet contents than dry pack. Also be aware they are at least double the price of glass for a given volume. Either it's a ripoff at storage stores or the material in packaged products is not the stuff that blocks oxygen. |

I mean really, does your contribution have to go to the exact person you want? In Stormin's case, yes. If he can't get their name and address he doesn't have to give anything and he can still tell himself he had good intentions. He also can help out his sick, elderly parents because he is broke, but he can pay people to mow his lawn and change his tire. And yet, he calls himself a survivalist. A survivalist that can't change his tire. |

You do realize what you pay for shipping would buy ten times as much if it's bought by a charity in the area don't you? Besides, you posted a day or two ago that your Mormon church is handing out food to people in need in that area. Do you know how to donate to your own church ????? |

A survivalist that can't change his tire. A self-respecting survivalist in his financial situation should be eating raccoons and squirrels around his trailer rather than SlimFast. He can make fur coats and hats with those critters. The animal fat can be used for makeshift oil lamp with a spoon and a wick. |
