3 Tips to Move into Prime-Era Living
Long-term food storage is a complicated process, especially for those at the start of their journey. Comparing yourself to someone who has been prepping for decades is discouraging. However, some basic principles can help everyone simplify their food storage, whether they are just beginning or consider themselves seasoned veterans.
Our Society Does Not Value Food Storage
Mass media marketing bombards us with misinformation about food storage. We are conditioned to consume, not save. As a society, we think that food is abundant, so there is no need to worry about storage. Even if we understand that it will be too late once our food supply is threatened, it is difficult to resist the call of the old era.
The old era is unsustainable. We waste money replacing spoiled food that we could store safely. In addition, we spend too much restocking wasted food that we needlessly consume. This consumption puts added strain on our agriculture, manufacturing, and transportation systems. With added pressure comes a high carbon footprint, and all the while, large corporations reap the rewards.
The Prime-Era Values Savings, Health, and Sustainability
The Prime-Era is about change for us and the environment. We believe three basic principles will change how people behave and support a prosperous and sustainable future.
First, food storage is important. Although we live with an abundance of food (for the most part), food storage saves us money, promotes healthy living, and preserves natural resources. Prime-Era is all about health, community, and eco-friendly consumption.
Second, it is not too late to begin or master food-storage techniques. Small steps can help, and even simple changes that you can make immediately can become new habits that carry you forward. Moreover, mastering Prime-Era food storage is a "snowball effect" of dozens or hundreds of little changes that improve your effectiveness and efficiency.
Finally, the Prime-Era is a global movement. We need to encourage each other wherever we are and whatever our skill level. We operate under the assumption that, once someone starts on the journey, they improve their skills, save more resources, and preserve the future.
3 Tips for Living in the Prime-Era of Food Storage
#1 – Start Your Journey
It's not too late. You don't need to make a significant investment or study for months reading up on state-of-the-art preservation methods. Instead, a few small steps to start can effectively reduce how much you spend, consume, and waste.
For example, freezing bread will keep it fresh for several months. You can also dry fruit in your oven, which will keep it good for weeks. Furthermore, frozen, dried fruit will stay preserved for years and is particularly resistant to freezer burn. Many other minor adjustments will allow you to get the most out of your food to buy it cheaper, preserve it longer, and consume it with peace of mind.
#2 – Learn and Improve
Mastery is just an accumulation of small pieces of knowledge over time. Every new trick improves your skills, and some people even enjoy learning about food storage and pursue it as a hobby. As you move forward, start implementing more careful planning and perhaps make investments that will pay you back in savings.
Prime-Era food storage techniques can keep dietary staples fresh for many years. For example, serious preppers will fill mylar food storage bags with rice (or other grains), add oxygen absorbers, heat-seal the bag, and place it in a food-grade plastic bucket. This preparation can keep some grains fresh for up to 30 years: Store at ease. Eat at peace.
#3 – Encourage Others
Help others start their food storage journey. Prime-Era is a movement that will grow when people help each other. The effects will be huge for each person who starts their journey, learns new skills, and teaches others to value food storage. If one person saves money and reduces their pollution, it's a personal victory.
If a million people move into the Prime-Era, it can change society.
