Bizarre events worldwide have been increasing at an alarming rate! Natural disasters could strike at any time.
If you follow me on YouTube or Instagram, you know that I grow and can much of our food at home. Very little (at this point) is dehydrated or frozen. As such, one of the worst things that could hit my pantry is an earthquake.
Can you imagine the catastrophe that would ensue if we have a major earthquake and I hadn't prepared for one? All those glass jars, full of countless hours of hard work would shatter. SHATTER!!!
Well, I can't let THAT happen!! This week, I set to work preparing my pantry just in case.
First, I saved up a few boxes.
Next, I cut my boxes into strips that would fit easily between my jars.
All that's left is to squeeze the card board between my jars and VIOLA!
Now, some brands of jars come with crosshatched cardboard already between the jars. The brand I use does not. The cardboard that comes in those is also very thin. The cardboard boxes most items are shipped in is a much sturdier option.
This is only one of several safe-guards I'd like to implement in my pantry.
What do YOU do to protect your pantry from natural disasters?
I can't wait to read your ideas in the comments! :D
