Summary: TweetBiltong – The South African Way to Store Meat Long Term Food storage is at the fundamental core of the survivalist/prepper movement and with good reason. Your body is a machine that runs on a fuel we call food. Run out of nutritional food and you experience things like hunger, lack of energy, illness and eventually death. The reality though is food storage isn’t just for preppers, it should be for everyone. One thing I noticed when house shopping in Pennsylvania back in 2001 was pantry size. We looked at new homes and they had tiny pantries. We also looked at many homes from 80-120 years old, all had large pantries. I don’t think it was because our prior generations were survivalists, no rather it was simply that they literally did know where their bread was buttered. Today we examine the how, what and why of food storage. We dig into why it isn’t really something for “survivalists” but for anyone who simply values money, convenience and their current life style.

This cherry is one of the few truly self-fertile options, making it ideal for small back yard growers with limited space. Additionally it only requires 400-500 chilling hours. It is also one of the few cherry trees that can be planted in full sun, even in zone 9 and handle the extreme summer heat in the south, yet cold hardy enough to handle the extreme cold in zone 5. Bob Wells specializes in edible landscape, including: Fruit Trees, Berry Plants, Vine Fruit, Nut Trees, as well as the hard to find Specialty Fruit Trees.
