Our grandkids LOVE to freeze-dry candy using The Cube Freeze Dryer because the candy express mode only takes two and a half hours to transform candy into something special. In this video, I take advantage of The Cube for a fun activity while babysitting some of our grandchildren. Check out their honest opinions. The Cube is so simple to use that they can do it all by themselves. For the record ... I'm a fan of freeze-dried marshmallows but not a fan of freeze-dried malted milk balls.

Spring flooding is threatening to cause damage in our area. We consulted a local expert, Jim Gause, to learn how to correctly fill and position sandbags to protect our home from water damage. Believe it or not, there is a right way and a wrong way to use sandbags. A little bit of knowledge can be very valuable. It pays to have supplies ready in advance. Sandbags can be helpful to protect from flooding and bullets, and for creating mass to protect from nuclear fallout.

We are excited to have the opportunity to test a new freeze dryer that has just been released. The Cube has a few exciting innovations including having the oil-free pump built right into the cabinet. We use our freeze dryers all the time to preserve the harvest, make treats for the grandkids, create healthy fruit and vegetable snacks, and make convenient meals for camping, traveling, and just nights when we are in a hurry. Freeze-drying our leftovers helps us save on our grocery bills. Our freeze dryer enables us to stock a wide selection of shelf-stable foods that are part of our regular diet stocked up for emergencies too. In this video, we share a little summary of our first month with The Cube. We have been able to freeze-dry a lot of tasty foods. We are pretty impressed with The Cube's performance. We will keep you posted on our progress.

Looking for more space to store your stuff? Take a good look around your home in search of dead space. Then get creative and make it work. One of the most underutilized spaces in the garage is above the garage door opener. In this video, the boys build a roof rack aka storage rack aka hanging shelf that provides 144 square feet of storage space that is 17 inches high. The perfect size for Costco totes. That means that all the stuff that was cluttering up the garage has a new home. Eyebolt driver from Amazon https://amzn.to/3ILYm1M Ours was larger than this. We were using a 1 1/4-inch socket that we modified to drive the large eye screws into the roof trusses. Visit TheProvidentPrepper.org for more storage ideas.
