GRAND PRIZE PACKAGE:
Freeze-Dried Harvester Farms Review

Prepping is another form of self-reliance and independence. In the event of some kind of disaster, you want to be prepared to survive through the event. I am not a hard core prepper myself, but my wife really wants to have a stash available for that time. Nothing major but we live in New England and big snow storms and power outages are the norm. Typically, no hurricanes, but flooding isn't out of the question either.
