When trying to decide what to freeze dry you can start by asking why. Start by asking yourself this question. Why are you freeze drying food? Knowing this should help you decide what you should freeze dry first. I'm freeze drying because: Just to freeze dry leftovers? You want to make your own food for camping/backpacking? For if/when the SHTF? For a short term emergency? You have your own garden and want to freeze dry the food? You love Costco but don't have a family of 6? You are good at finding the food sales but only have 1 freezer? When you cook homemade chili just for yourself you make 10 gallons? Because you have 3 full freezers and are worried about power outages? If I knew then what I know now‚ I would have freeze dried things in a different order. Or maybe not‚ because I started freeze drying because we had 3 full freezers‚ I was thinking of getting another one‚ and I decided I should buy a walk-in freezer instead. I started looking into walk-ins and realized they were expensive to buy (even used ones) AND expensive to own and operate. Then I found out Harvest Right was making home sized freeze dryers. One of my first thoughts was "I like Mountain House!" I have used their food for backpacking almost 45 years and we even kept some in our travel trailer‚ for just in case. Freeze dried food will stay fresh for many years and be ready and waiting when you need it. We do videos showing how we are using our Harvest Right Freeze Dryer to freeze dry food for long term storage. (We have the medium size machine that we got in August of 2017) We talk about how to load and unload the freeze dryer‚ how to know if the food is dry‚ is it better to freeze dry raw food or cooked food‚ and do a few taste tests. Freeze dried food is also great for prepping or just for camping and snacking! We have been getting our Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers for PackFreshUSA.com and have been happy with the products and service we have received from them. --They are not a sponsor‚ we just like their stuff.

April 8’s North American solar eclipse is just around the corner‚ and it has astronomy fans and weather aficionados alike preparing for an incredible show. But it’s not just fun and games. Eclipses are rare opportunities for scientists to study phenomena that only come around once in a while. Last week‚ a team of meteorological experts from the Netherlands released a paper describing how eclipses can disrupt the formation of certain types of clouds. Their findings have implications for futuristic geoengineering schemes that propose to artificially block sunlight to combat climate change. Published in Nature Communications Earth &; Environment‚ the paper examines satellite imagery of cloud cover during three solar eclipses between 2005 and 2016. They found that in the wake of an eclipse‚ shallow cumulus clouds tend to disappear – and it doesn’t even need to be a total eclipse for this to occur – it happens when just 15% of the Sun is obscured. The effect isn’t immediate. There’s a delay of about 20 minutes. That’s because the eclipse isn’t destroying the clouds directly. Instead‚ it’s cooling the land beneath‚ interrupting packets of warm air that race upwards in updrafts to condense into clouds. By suppressing the updrafts‚ the eclipse puts a pause on cumulus cloud formation. Proposals to reduce climate change by artificially blocking the Sun work on a similar principle to an eclipse. A swarm of sun-shade spacecraft‚ or an injection of light-absorbing aerosols into the atmosphere‚ could reduce the amount of solar energy reaching the surface of the Earth‚ cooling the temperature back to historical norms. For a project like this to work‚ about 3.5% to 5% of sunlight would have to be blocked. The cloud modeling data from this paper indicates reasons to be cautious‚ however. First and foremost‚ it suggests that blocking sunlight isn’t as effective as you might think‚ because while it does cool the ground initially‚ it also reduces cloud cover‚ which once again increases the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth. The decrease in cloud cover would also have an effect on precipitation – fewer clouds means less rain – which might result in regional increases in drought and desertification. It’s unclear whether the reduction in cumulus clouds would persist with a more permanent‚ artificially constructed eclipse – true solar eclipses only last a few minutes locally‚ after all. But the authors say the data ought to influence the design of any serious geoengineering proposals going forward. A solar shade stationed between the Sun and Earth‚ at Lagrange point 1‚ for example‚ might not block the Sun uniformly. If it caused either partial or intermittent local eclipses‚ it would be more likely to feature these cloud-destroying effects. Atmospheric aerosol injection might seem like a more uniform method of blocking sunlight‚ but large-scale weather patterns actually make these methods potentially even more variable‚ blocking up to 45% of sunlight locally on occasion (well beyond the 15% needed to see a reduction in cloud formation). These geoengineering projects‚ in other words‚ might solve climate change only to introduce new‚ unexpected challenges‚ and the costs might not be borne equitably across the globe. So what’s the lesson? Well‚ if you’re going out to see the eclipse on April 8‚ and you feel a little chill in the air‚ you’re not imagining it. The Earth around you is cooling – and it might also get a little sunnier after it’s over‚ as cumulus cloud formation gets interrupted. These effects are tangible reminders that the relationship between Earth’s climate and the Sun is complex – and tinkering with it comes with a high chance of unintended consequences.

This is impressive!

There was a massive jump in credit card fraud in America in 2021 due to the pandemic. According to CNET‚ fraud involving credit cards jumped 69% from 2020 to 2021‚ affecting 13 million Americans and costing $9 billion. In a world where online transactions are part of everyday life‚ it’s hard to completely protect your information. But‚ by staying vigilant and monitoring your accounts you can report fraud before it gets out of hand. A TikTok user by the name of Lauren (@absolutelylauren) from San Diego‚ California‚ got a notification that there was a $135 charge on her card at Olaplex’s online store that she hadn’t made. Olaplex sells products that repair excessively damaged hair. Before reporting the charge to her credit card company she asked her family members if they used her card by mistake. “I don’t wanna shut my card down if it’s just my mom ordering some shampoo‚” Lauren said in the video. “Definitely not my two younger brothers‚ they’ve got good hair but they don’t color it.”After realizing the charge was fraudulent‚ most people would have called their credit card company and had their card canceled. But Lauren was curious and wanted to know who stole her information and used it to buy hair care products. So she concocted a plan to get their information. She called Olaplex’s customer service line asking for the name and address of the purchaser to see if it was made by a family member."Hey‚ can you help me with something?” Lauren asked Tanya‚ the Olaplex customer service agent. “If I can give you the time and date‚ purchase amount and card number and whatever could you let me know who placed an order?"Tanya had no problem helping Lauren with her request. @absolutelylauren olaplex customer service is top tier 😤 #creditcardscam “At this point‚ I’m willingly giving Tanya enough info to steal my card as well — she could have very well taken advantage of me in that moment but she didn’t‚” Lauren said. “She comes back — tell me why she gave me the little scammer their full government name and address.”Tanya revealed that a guy named Jason in a modest suburb in Texas used her card to buy a gift for his wife. “They also did it on Black Friday so at least they got a deal I guess‚ it was the gift set‚” Lauren continued.Lauren then called her credit card company and shared the information she had on the fraudster. The card company is currently investigating the situation.One commenter thought that Olaplex wasn’t supposed to share that information with Lauren. “For some reason‚ I don’t think olaplex was supposed to give that info‚” Arae270 said. “I definitely gave them the option‚ but I explained that it was an unauthorized purchase‚ and if the name did not match anyone that I knew that I would just tell them to cancel the order and refund me‚ I told the girl that they would probably save everyone‚ a headache!” Lauren replied.People should use utmost caution before deciding to track down a credit card thief. But kudos to Lauren for being clever enough to track down the person who stole her card information to help the authorities with their investigation. She didn’t put herself in harm's way and if someone follows up on the tip‚ maybe they can prevent the same thing from happening to someone else.This article originally appeared on 1.11.23
