One of the largest components of resiliency building is access to water. For those with a well, a simple pump can be great investment to include in your overall plans for accessing water during a grid down situation or as a backup mechanical pump.

Cooking with the Sun

by Hilarybethhodge

We hit 108°F this week in the Sierra Foot Hills of California. It's too hot to do much of anything, but it is definitely too hot to cook in the house. We have used our sun oven all summer, but this week we were particularly thankful to have an outdoor cooking apparatus, something that requires no electricity, charcoal, or propane.

The following recipes are fool-proof, easy, and reliable recipes for cooking in your sun-oven. You don't have to own a sun oven or solar cooker to use these recipes; you can easily use these recipes in your electric or gas oven as well. However, I highly recommend a sun oven. They are efficient, easy to use, and help to keep the heat outside on hot summer days.
