Preparedness Challenge 14

Welcome back to the Preparedness Challenge! Each week we gather here to share what weve done to prepare for lifes unexpected events, whether its putting up items in food storage, gathering emergency supplies, or learning skills for sustainable living.

week for the preparedness challenge, I filled our propane tank for our camp stove and worked on our gardens watering system, which probably doesnt qualify as "preparedness" but since weve been traveling away from home for almost the entire week, its about all I could do! At least I did ONE thing and I now know where my two propane tanks are and that at least one is filled.

I confess, I was a bit proud of myself for traveling prepared! Instead of eating out for the two days it took us to travel from CA to WA, we packed an ice chest and took an extra bag of food. allowed us to eat some excellent meals with very little effort, saving us money and our health! Knowing we had food along the way was a blessing and I plan to do a little grocery shopping for the trip back. Id love to find a farmers market! Too bad Im on the wrong side of Seattle or Id go to Pike Place Market as I travel back through (were soooo close).  My consolation is that we WILL be traveling through Cottage Grove, OR and I get to stop at Territorial Seed Company!
