One Year Supply

We just got our shipment in about a week or two ago. Becky had it at her place so I went over and loaded it up on the truck. I should've took a picture of the truck right before I unloaded it. The food that you see is not only ours but the Smith's, too. It was easier for us to take it to our house and can it here. We have the ward canner that we use. We basically use a program of 4 - 5 people to get what we have canned and into boxes. It will be a lot of stuff to can. This past Saturday we canned 100 cans in about 3 1/2 hours time. We should get quicker as we go along.



You can see here 25 lb bags of red wheat. There is also potatoe flakes in the background. The lids are sitting on top.


Here is an example of a canned box.


Here are the cans minus 100 and 1 fatality that we found. The cans are stacked on a pallet. I pulled the pallet off of the truck using my 4-wheeler. Very easy! I'll let you know how it goes.
