Q
How much water should I store?

A
Plan on 1 gallon per person per day for a 2 week period or 14 gallons per person. You may need more for personal hygiene or if most of your food storage contains dehydrated foods requiring water for hydration.

- I canned chunky applesauce last night using a water bath (this is my first time doing this) and noticed large air bubbles after I removed the jars and realized I had forgotten to use a spatula to remove the air bubbles. So, I immediately opened them, removed the bubbles and re-processed them. But there were still small bubbles, so this morning (about 12 hours later) I opened them again and mashed the apple chunks smaller, added some apple juice, boiled the sauce and again re-processed them (with new lids this time). I still see some tiny air bubbles but this time some of the liquid also seeped out during processing. Is this batch of applesauce any good? Thanks for your advice and help.

- I bottled chicken yesterday and have a question. As I was preparing it to can, I was told by a neighbor that I should put chicken bouillon in each jar. So, I did that and then later another neighbor came over and worried that maybe that wasn't a safe thing to do. So, now of course I am worried. Will my chicken be ruined because I put bouillon in it? Also, how long with this chicken last? I read somewhere that it would last 6 months. Then I heard from another neighbor who cans chicken all the time that it would last much longer. Please advise. Thanks

- This is a food storage question. I have called Iams and Purina re cat food storage. They could not tell me how long I could store their dry food product in an oxygen free envirenment. I would like to store the food in 6 gallon buckets to which an oxygen absorber has been added. I have several members in my ward who are interested in this answer. Do you have any experience with this?
