Food Preservation for Preppers

I have failed multiple times in making gherkin pickles, so this book gave me a very good idea about where I was going wrong.
This book is a good deal of information varying from the history of food preservation to preparation and storage of the food.

Definitely recommend it for the beginners!

Thank you Netgalley and publisher for the arc of Food Preservation for Preppers.

I haven’t read a book like this before and yet interestingly enough I was hooked on what I was reading. I really enjoyed this!!

An excellent guide to all aspects of food preservation that the author knows, and the author is a master gardener as well, so I take it that this is a comprehensive guide with lots of time saving tricks. I had not heard of some of the methods of preserving food, for instance brine and salt, apparently if you just rub salt on meat it doesn't have the preservation properties of immersing the meat in brine. And this is just one example of what I learned. Another example is freeze dried foods. I looked them up and found quite a collection of these foods, I had been ignorant of before. These are just two examples when I have several bits of useful new information from this book. It is the best book I have read concerning this topic, but my experience is limited. Nonetheless I found it very handy to know all the things that the book told me.

Food Preservation for Preppers: How to Master Canning, Dehydrating & Freezing with 99 Simple Tips to Prep for the Future is a detailed reference and instruction book for anyone looking to efficiently store and preserve food. It is especially relevant in these times of increasing costs and possible shortages, Different methods are tackled from planning your garden, efficient and safe food storage, the art of canning, freezing and organising your freezer, freeze-drying, and dehydrating. I was particularly interested in dehydrating as I have recently tried an electric one for windfall fruit, and the information has been very useful. Overall a very good, no nonsense, easy to read book.

Although not so much of a prepper , I hate good waste food especially when it is going up in price so quickly.This book covers all aspects of food preservation and explains their used thoroughly. A very useful book.

This is packed full of information! I will be investing in a physical copy of this book when it’s out as it is something new and my husband are going to do and this book is really useful and informative. The only complaint I have is the lack of pictures. I’ma very visual person so photos of techniques etc would have made this book perfect!

A package filled with information regarding pretty much everything concerning food preservation for smart daily use. This is a good book for people who are interested in preserving food in different ways, but might not yet be a wizard in this field. The books tells us what you can preserve, and what you should not preserve. It also gives the reader the best ways of preserving for example tomatoes and berries. Whether your thing is canning, freezing, drying or any other kind of food preservation you will probably get some good tips and ideas from the book, even if you are not a beginner.

The title of this book should be FOOD PRESERVATION FOR EVERYONE. The cost of food these days has turned us all in preppers. I read an article that said people who raise their own food and preserve it are actually Food Rebels. I guess I'm a food rebel. This book has so much information for those of us unwilling to waste our time or money by paying so very much more for the everyday food items we need. CB Revell has definitely done the research and the hands on application of growing, preserving and storing food. The book has given me so many more ideas and provided information I didn't even know I needed. I can not say enough about how much every kitchen needs this book.

Food Preservation for Preppers is such an information packed book. It has everything you need to know about preserving food. What to preserve and how

This book is very informative and a great guide to preserving food in several different ways. This book is great for beginners, and still informative to those who already have some experience in food preservation. All in all this is a good book to have especially in times like these when food should be preserved, as there is no knowing what will happen in the future.

This book gave me so many great tips on how to preserve extra goods I have to make them last longer. I definitely want to try freeze-drying things now. As someone who usually always end up with extra fruits and veggies at the end of my week that I'm always trying to fit into random Recipes to use before they go bad, this is a great help!

Thank you netgalley and publisher for this arc

This book is completely packed with useful information. I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a "prepper" in the way I've seen that term portrayed on TV and social media, but I do enjoy growing and preserving my own food both for emergency preparedness and simply for managing our family budget.

Whether you are a full out prepper, prepper lite, a gardener trying to preserve their harvest or simply someone looking to reduce their food waste through preservation, this book will help.

I fully plan to buy multiple copies of this book for myself, my family and my community garden.

Thank you to @netgalley and the publisher for this free eARC.

This is a really good manual if you are considering storing and preserving food.

Everything is well explained and everyone can follow the instructions.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Revell’s FOOD PRESERVATION FOR PREPPERS is a compact book. With just 109 pages, the author dissects food preservation. Most books will offer readers a multitude of different recipes, but the author instead gives people what they really need; the nuts and bolts of preservation. This was pure genius on Revell’s part because many, if not most, preppers already have the recipes or create their own. Instead, the author gave people what they needed; factual knowledge on how to preserve food and avoid spoilage.

The book is filled with tips - 99 official tips to be exact and numerous other why-didn’t-I-think-of-that? tips. For example, I would have never considered using panty hose to store onions! As a farmer, I’ve used various preservation methods. Over the years, I’ve accumulated an untold number of canning recipe books. And while most of them give basic canning procedures, none have delved deeply into *why* foods spoil.

This is a really useful book. It definitely doesn’t rehash what other prepper books have already done. By offering readers a new angle on food preservation, I believe that Revell’s book will find its way onto many bookshelves.

This is a wonderful resource of a book. Don't let the title of 'Preppers" put you off. In the current climate of high food prices even people who do not grow much of their won produce can make use of many of the techniques here to avoid food wastage.
I found so much information and advice on the different ways of saving food, many of which I will be employing. It may even encourage me to grow more than fruit in the future as I now have the tools to enable me to store that produce more effectively

I am always looking for ways to preserve food, because I have to eat healthy, fresh foods. It's hard to keep everything fresh unless you plan to go to the store a few times a week to restock your fridge. This book is super helpful and easy to follow.

I love this book. I’ll be adding this to my other cookbooks collection.

This book goes into non complicated details on how to prepare your food for different type of storage. It talks about basics, temperatures, types of canning, and different ways of storing.

It basically teaches you to depend on yourself with the preparation of food instead of going to the grocery stores for premade boxed items with unnecessary chemicals and toxics.

If you enjoy canning like I do, or other preparations of natural food like I do, then this book is for you. It’s an excellent guide who’s interested in changing their lifestyles or beginners, or even experts. I will most definitely purchase this book for myself.

Great! i really enjoyed this short and to the point book on preserving food. Especially the way it encompassed different types of food preservation, some of which I am rather confident in and some which I have never attempted. I look forward to putting this new knowledge to use.

I hate waste. So reading this book has given me a great start in my own food preservation journey. I appreciated all the different approaches and ideas. This is definitely a book I’ll keep around. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an opportunity to read this book!

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A well-written and informative book. Recommended.

What good is growing your own food or buying in bulk if you cannot store it properly?? This book has the answer to almost any food preservation you could ask. And this book is NOT just for preppers! This is for the busy mom who needs to bulk cook for ready, easy, nutritious meals or the homesteader who just brought in 20lbs of zucchini and wants to have other options than a bakery’s worth of zucchini bread or blocks of frozen zucchini mush. I’ve taken courses in dehydration and canning, and this book really does a thorough job in succinctly covering all important information and then some. An absolute go-to book on my homesteading shelf!

Thank you, NetGalley!

This book is a wealth of information! I recently started canning and preserving garden items and other foods so this book was super helpful in this process. It gave me insight into less popular methods I didn't know about and gave me some things to keep an eye out for. I appreciate thorough resources like this!

Food Preparation for Preppers is a very comprehensive guide. Granted most of the information listed can be found in other resources. However, the convenience of having it all compiled into one book makes it in my mind very helpful. I personally really enjoyed the book and I’m impressed by the amount of detail and information within. I feel this is a great book to keep on hand especially when you need to know multiple methods of preserving foods.

A great, easy to follow book full of tips for different preserving methods. The author uses mostly sustainable and healthy preservation techniques and avoids chemicals and synthetics. I appreciated the tips that may be missed in books about each subject.

I did not read Food Preservation for Preppers through an educator lens.

Food Preservation for Preppers by CB Revell had a ton of amazing tips for food preservation. I appreciated the compact nature of the book and that everything that is complex was essentially written for anyone to be able to follow and begin their preserving journey. I bought copies for a few friends that have just begun diving into their own preservation and they have really appreciated having this resource.

Everything you ever wanted to know about food preservation is included in the cookbook, Food Preservation for Preppers: How to Master Canning, Dehydrating & Freezing with 99 Simple Tips to Prep for the Future, by C.B. Revell. This is an excellent book with modern information, that will help save time and money, without wasting good food and making it possible to have favorite foods on hand for when it is needed.
The book covers the history of food preservation, and the progressive methods that have evolved through the years. There is information on growing, harvesting, choosing, and storing different foods, as well as different methods of preserving such as canning, freezing, and drying.

This is more of a textbook, and not a cookbook; it doesn’t include actual recipes, rather instructions on preserving different foods by different methods. While the instructions are well-written and easy-to-understand, this book isn’t one that will inspire anyone to curl up and read. It is one of those informational tomes and is not particularly fun or even that interesting unless looking to find specific information on a preserving question or method. There are photographs or illustrations, which would make it more interesting to read.

Books such as this are definitely necessary, and it is a good idea to have it on the cookbook shelf for reference when preserving any type of food.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

I accessed a digital review copy of this book from the publisher.
The book tells you how and why to preserve food. There are no recipes, it is a how-to book. If you are new to food preservation, this is a good book.

As a large family, we're always trying to learn new skills to help keep our family fed in the event that the worst occurs and food stores go empty. This book had so many tips and tricks that my husband and I both found useful and have already put into action! It also helped keep me from feeling overwhelmed, which is a big deal.
