Introducing the Food Storage Do-Over
This is your chance to take a look at your emergency preparedness and food storage plans and think about them with fresh eyes. We will walk through the process in a 16 week series of blog posts to help you analyze what is working, what's
not, and to fill in any missing cracks you might have in your plans. The best part is we will be doing it TOGETHER
How it Works
Every week on Wednesday we will be posting one topic related to emergency preparedness or food storage. We will look at JUST that one component of our preps and really figure out exactly where we want to be and
see what we are missing still. This could be stuff we need to buy, recipes we need to print, skills we need to learn, etc. We will be sharing on our social media channels and on our blog about all the different things we are doing each week to hopefully give you ideas about what you may want to work on for YOUR do-over.
How to Participate as a Group
While we will be doing the blog posts each week, the greatest learning will happen as we all
share with each other. As we share good resources, ideas, pictures, and hold each other accountable we will see so much more success. To participate as a group:
- We have set up a brand new Facebook group where everyone who is participating in the Food Storage Do-Over can share what they are doing
- We will be posting on our instagram (@foodstoragemadeeasy) and using the hashtag #fsdo, feel free to post your own pics and use that hashtag too!
