Food Storage, Canning and Preparedness with JC Cole

Trent Loos welcomes JC Cole from New Jersey for a practical conversation on food storage, food security and emergency preparedness. JC breaks down the most affordable dry storage methods, using rice, beans and lentils sealed in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. He explains why home canning with mason jars is a lost skill worth reviving and what it costs to feed a family of four for a year. The two compare canning with freeze-drying, discuss rising energy and home heating costs, and tackle the challenge of long-term hay storage for cattle ranchers facing tight budgets and heavy 1,540-pound round bales.
