One of the many overlooked things you might find a use for, perhaps a live or die use for, is the materials you need to prepare and store foods for long term storage after one of those 'the end of life as we know it' events. The acronym is TEOLAWKI or something that effect. If you see something like that, that's what it means.
It took me awhile to figure that out as I'm not really wired to think that way. Actually Prepping is filled with acronyms, annoyingly so. It can make trying to research difficult, especially at first as you try to figure just what the hell someone emans.
To get back on topic, to can or jar or 'put up' fruits and vegetables or simply to cook faster which saves on fuel, a pressure cooker is an obvious choice. You can save massive amounts of fuel by pressure cooking. And in one of those end times events, fuel may be a premium.
Our research has uncovered a single, very not cheap, brand of pressure cooker that doesn't have parts that wear out. Almost every pressure cooker has rubber gaskets or o-rings in them that wear out over time rendering the pressure cooker worthless as a pressure cooker although you can still use it to cook in of course. Or wear it as a hat.
I'll warn you, it's about as non-cheap as you can get. But it should and has lasted people for their lifetimes. And 'you get what you pay for'.
The one I'm referring to is made in the U.S.A. (never a bad thing) and is made by All American who's been doing it for a long time apparently.
At the time of this writing you can pick one up on Amazon for around $200. Depending on the size you get.
NOTE!!! These pressure cookers are big and heavy. Filled with water and food they're even heavier. As a result the company recommends you do not use them on glass topped stoves. You've been warned.
