Indoor Garden: ECOLIFE's ECO-Cycle Aquaponics Indoor Fish Tank

(YT)The Provident Prepper — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 04:18:40 GMT

We have started a new adventure growing edible plants indoors on top of a fish tank. I knew this would be a hit with the grandkids but I underestimated how much I would enjoy having an Eco-Cycle Aquaponics Tank in my living room.

It is delightful to listen to the relaxing sound of the water and to watch the fish and the plants grow. Our Eco-Cycle fish tank has changed a lifeless area in our living area into a living focal point. If you are struggling with a way to grow edible plants inside your home, this just might be the answer.

*You can purchase an Eco-Cycle Aquaponics Kit on Amazon at https://amzn.to/3wickjJ or learn more about the Eco-Cycle Aquaponics Kit at https://www.ecolifeconservation.org/product/eco-cycle/.

How to Use Calcium Hypochlorite as a Disinfectant

(YT)The Provident Prepper — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 04:14:06 GMT

The ability to disinfect surfaces and water is a foundational item on every good prepper's list. You need to disinfect surfaces to prevent the spread of disease and to kill pathogens lurking in the water.

Initially, you may consider using regular liquid bleach to satisfy both of these needs until you learn that bleach only maintains potency for about 6 months. There is no way that you can store a year's supply of fresh liquid bleach.

The answer lies in powdered or granulated calcium hypochlorite. It will last for about 10 years if stored correctly and you can mix up a fresh batch whenever you need it.

In this video, we discuss what type of calcium hypochlorite to purchase, how to store it, and how to use it as a disinfectant.

*** Jay Whimpey, PE, President of The American Civil Defense Association has run some calculations that suggest a higher amount of 68 percent calcium hypochlorite should be used to make a 6% solution. He recommends 1 1/2 Tablespoons per cup of water.

You can learn more at our post:
Disinfecting Water Using Calcium Hypochlorite

Links to calcium hypochlorite and plastic mason jar lids are below:

DryTec 68% Calcium Hypochlorite https://amzn.to/34hwfCP
Plastic mason jar lids https://amzn.to/3U2vmap

Storing large amounts can be dangerous. You get the best price when you purchase in bulk. Get some friends together and share a case.

We recently worked out a deal with USA Berkey Water Filters to get you a discount on a quality water filter that will remove both biological and chemical contaminants. Go to USA Berkey Water Filters https://bit.ly/3Q7VZXY - Use promo code PROVIDENT10 for a 10% discount on your purchase.

Food Storage: Are Freeze-Dried or Home Bottled Cherries Better?

(YT)The Provident Prepper — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 04:09:38 GMT

Shelf stable pie cherries are a fantastic addition to any prepper's pantry. Cherries can be the miracle ingredient that transforms basic staples like flour, rolled oats, and honey into a mouthwatering dessert.

In this video, we freeze-dry frozen pie cherries and bottle the rest of them so that we can compare the two.

As promised, here is the recipe for Simple Cherry Crisp.

2 cans cherry pie filling (make your own with cherries, sweetener and cornstarch)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar (we used honey)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 Tablespoons melted butter (we used olive oil)

Pour pie filling in a 9"x9" baking dish. Blend remaining ingredients together to create a crumble topping to cover the pie filling.

How to Plant a Bare Root Fruit Tree

Food Storage: The Actual Shelf Life of Granulated Sugar

(YT)The Provident Prepper — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 04:07:42 GMT

Sugar is a foundational ingredient in a long-term food storage program. It enhances the flavor of basic dry ingredients and provides calories. White sugar is also used as a preservative to extend the life of fruits when bottling or making home preserves.

Sugar is often a highly sought-after commodity when things get tough. Sugar rationing is common during food shortages, which makes it an excellent barter item. In this video, we will review the basic facts that you should know about sugar in your long-term food supply.

Gamma seals are fantastic for foods that you need to access regularly. You can find some on Amazon at https://amzn.to/2NYG17Z
