Food & water treatment
Saving food through fermentation - an ancient art with a future
Half a head of cabbage lies in the fridge, already slightly limp. The carrots have fine cracks, the cucumbers are about to go soft. Many people would throw the food away at this point - and with it nutrients, work and money. But ...
Building emergency cooking stations with natural materials - fire, stone & improvisation
A sudden power cut. Gas pipes shut down. No camping stove within reach. What then? If you need hot food or hot water in such a situation, an emergency cooker made from natural materials is more than just a gimmick. It is a piece of independence - and ...
Crisis-proof food with a high calorie density - energy for emergencies
There is a phrase that cannot be heard often enough in crisis preparedness: Calories are energy, and energy is survival. Hardly anyone thinks about this in everyday life. We open the fridge, we shop in the supermarket, we count calories at most, ...
Food supplements in a crisis - useful or not?
Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference. A vitamin tablet in the morning, a handful of minerals in your backpack, a bottle of omega-3 capsules in the cupboard.

Planning an outdoor kitchen without electricity - cooking in a crisis with fire, creativity and structure

Making your own long-life food - shelf life, safety and a bit of freedom
When we think of crisis preparedness, sooner or later the word long-term food comes up. Ready-made packages of freeze-dried meals, vacuum-packed „emergency rations“ that sit on the shelf for years and can save lives in an emergency. Sounds practical - but it's expensive. And it often feels ...
Alternative cooking methods for gas shortages - How to prepare hot meals without a stove
