Backyard Revolution

Most of us know that the Backyard Revolution Review "Transition" is coming and many of us realize that it is not going to be a pleasant time as we try to take care of our families without a lot of funds or help. I wish that our government would just wave a wand and all the petroleum was gone, replaced by alternative energies, and we could all just take care of our families. But we all know that won't happen. When the transition does come, most of us will do without flowing electrons for light as well as food storage and most everything else. For that reason, one of the things you will need to have in your home is a food dehydrator.Food drying is a simple, yet ancient skill. It does require a safe place to spread the food where dry air in large quantities can pass over and between thin pieces. The sun is often used to provide the hot dry air. Dry clean air, including dry cold air from any source will dehydrate food. A food dehydrator will help you in many ways.A food dehydrator is a fairly simple piece of equipment. You can buy any of a number of models fairly inexpensively, most powered by electricity. It is also very simple to make one. You can find a number of plans on the internet or in a number of books. The important thing is to go and do it. Don't just think about it. Do it. A solar dehydrator is important.In a simple plan you will find a dehydrator made primarily from a couple of cardboard boxes, a little tape, and some clear wrap. A drawing is easy to find on the internet. Notice how the thing goes together. Nothing complex. Don't make it so.Also keep in mind you can make a sturdier, longer lasting machine with few materials. I used the basic idea but instead of cardboard boxes, I used some scrap wood and a piece of glass. Same ideas, again, don't make it more complicated than it is.This is pretty easy to make using two cardboard boxes, a little scotch tape and a roll of plastic wrap. This is practically a free appliance. Once you have it together, set it up on a chair or end counter or whatever and face it toward the sun. This is not difficult; don't make it so.Once you have put it together and have it faced properly, you have a real, live, functional food preservation machine for your time and the use of some odds and ends around the house. https://neighboursreview.com/backyard-revolution-review/
