Hey Provident Preppers! πŸŽƒ If you're staring at a mountain of pumpkins wondering how many pies one family can actually eat (spoiler alert: NOT ENOUGH), I've got you covered! Head over to The Provident Gardener where I'm sharing my legendary Pumpkin Patch Chili recipe - the one that turns your pumpkin problem into a delicious solution. We're talking 17 different plants in ONE pot, freeze-drying magic, and enough meals to get you through winter without ever seeing the inside of a drive-through.
Because let's be honest - those pumpkins aren't going to eat themselves, and Pinterest can only give you so many "cute pumpkin crafts" before you snap. πŸ˜‚
Your future self (and your wallet) will thank you. Trust me on this one!

P.S. - No pumpkins were wasted in the making of this video. Can YOU say the same? πŸ˜‰

Thanks for being part of the solution!

❌ Employment income stopped flowing

πŸ’§ POLL: How much water do you have stored right now? πŸ’§
After our recent water outage experience, we're curious about where our community stands with water preparedness! Be honest - if your water got shut off tomorrow morning, how long could your household manage with what you currently have stored?

No judgment here! We all started somewhere, and the important thing is being aware of where you stand so you can make a plan. Drop a comment and let us know what motivated you to start storing water (or what's holding you back if you haven't started yet). Check out the lessons we learned when the city turned off our water for repairs in this video https://youtu.be/vJIQRANhdQw

Looking forward to seeing the results! πŸ“Š

🚨 NEW VIDEO ALERT: Critical Info for Diabetic Preppers! 🚨
Most emergency food storage could be DEADLY for insulin-dependent diabetics.
Rice and beans - the prepper staples we all rely on? They're both carbohydrates and a dangerous choice for diabetics in crisis situations.

Today's video features Dr. Julie Shamas, an ER physician AND mom to an insulin-dependent diabetic daughter. She's sharing exactly what foods, supplies, and equipment diabetics need to survive when disaster strikes.

Whether you're diabetic, preparing for a diabetic family member, or just want to be educated to help others - this information could save a life.

πŸ‘‰ Watch now: https://youtu.be/TsiejH8kg00

Drop a comment and let us know - do you or someone you love manage diabetes? What's your biggest preparedness concern?

Thanks for being part of the solution!

Confession time: My garden is about to freeze and I'm... on vacation? πŸ˜… I know, I know. Peak harvest season, and I'm at Bear Lake instead of preserving tomatoes. But here's the thingβ€”if we burn ourselves out, we'll end up hating the gardens we love.

Just dropped a new video on The Provident Gardener about finding balance, preventing garden burnout, and why sometimes the best thing you can do for your garden is step AWAY from it.

Have you ever felt guilty about taking a break during busy garden season? Watch and let me know in the comments! https://youtu.be/k3xdvKuOjw8

Thanks for joining us in the garden!
