Over the past several years, Leslie Probert, co-author of one of my favorite emergency preparedness and food storage books, “Emergency Food Storage in a Nutshell,” has written some very useful articles for the Deseret News newspaper here in Utah. Since some of my readers don’t get the Deseret News, my Christmas gift to you is a list I’ve gathered of the past 3 years of practical food storage articles written by Leslie.
When I heard Leslie speak at a BYU Campus Education Week, she changed my life. Well, actually she changed the approach I took to food storage. I don’t think I would have moved forward with preparedness like I have, without the insight of Leslie Probert. Reading books by people who actually use the food they store is enlightening.
Leslie is the mother of 3, and has a degree in Home Economics.
Take some time over the Christmas break to read some of these great articles. Then set a New Year’s resolution to get moving with food storage!
