When I think about mason jars, I remember my childhood and the rows and rows of canned goods sitting in our garage. I had never considered them as a survivalist tool or for the expanded use which Evelyn Scott shares in her book. If you want an quick easy-to-read guide, this is the book for you! It has sparked some ideas and thought for me.
I have been getting into prepper planning with my family lately but it is kind of confusing to understand some things. We were thinking about picking up some mason jars to start planning and prepping with them but had no idea where to start. I thought this book was helpful and gave us a bunch of terrific info on how to get started with mason jars. There wasn't any filler and the the tips were excellent. I only wish the book were a little longer though as I was really getting into the info.
Although this book is short I was happy that I learned a few specific things. For example I did not know that you could store salads and fresh veggies in mason jars for up to a week. I buy tons of fresh veggies every week and although I eat a lot of them, I always end up throwing away a good amount. Just being able to make my food last a few more days is extremely helpful to me and so I thank the author for sharing that.
Awesome little book if you are an extreme planner like I am. I jumped on the "mason jars look cool" bandwagon and now I am their biggest advocate, I use them all the time for serving drinks and now have started prepping all kinds of food. I like the way the book goes into the proper method of preparing the jars (i.e. make sure they are completely dry before adding any kind of food) so there is no risk of contamination - this was news to me.
This book is just what I wanted. I have dabbled a little in prepping with the Ebola scare and the Isis crisis. I was not sure what a mason jar was until I read this book. It covered things such as what a mason jar is, where to find them, the advantages of mason jars and also how to use them properly. It even gave some nice suggestions on what to use in the mason jars.
This book was a real eye-opener.This book gives great examples for preparing and using a survival pantry. It explains in details how to prepared food and/or stored in mason jars. It gives excellent methods of preserving food for extended periods of time.
This book was useless. The only thing it tells you is that mason jars are good for canning and that you find them anywhere. Everyone should already know this. For those who don't know you can find them at Wal-Mart. This book gives no advice on other uses for them or any help information. I am glad it was free at least I don't feel I waste anything more than time.
Everything in this book is available in other books or is plain common sense. I got the book in the hopes that it would contain canning recipes, suggested longevity of certain canned foods, etc. I already have various Mason Jar books that contain the information in this book. Main difference is that my other books contain additional and useful information. I don't mind having some duplication of information amongst my books, provided they also have some valuable nuggets. This book falls extremely short.
