Food & water treatment
Food from nature - what you should avoid

Preserving food in nature - stock up without a fridge
Imagine you're out and about for several days. Perhaps voluntarily, perhaps forced. You've been lucky and found berries, picked mushrooms or even shot an animal. But then the question immediately arises: How do I store all this, ...
Planning an outdoor kitchen without electricity - cooking in a crisis with fire, creativity and structure
There are moments when we realize how much our everyday life hangs by a thread. A power cut, a natural disaster, or simply a faulty fuse box - and suddenly you're left with the supplies in the cellar but no way of preparing them. ...
Making your own long-life food - shelf life, safety and a bit of freedom
