Prepper: An individual or group that prepares or makes preparations in advance of, or prior to, any change in normal circumstances.
Survivalist: One who has personal or group survival as a primary goal in the face of difficulty, opposition, and especially the threat of natural catastrophe.
This collection of recipes is meant to do more than just make good food, it is also meant to give you creature comforts and real meals after a natural disaster forces you to turn to your rainy-day pantry. These dishes are meant to be made and stored long-term, hence their simplistic and typically dry ingredients.
All you need to do is fill 1-quart mason jars with each recipe's ingredients and keep the preparation instructions nearby. A warm bowl of macaroni and cheese, Spanish rice and beans or carrot cake pudding can be just a few cups of water, a pot and a grill away, whether the lights are on or not.
There are even simple water purification instructions that you can use, just in case you end up running out of bottled water and have to use tap or wild water.
Take these recipes on a campout and you might start using them at home even when the power is on!
