The Off-grid Preserver: Long-term Canning & Storage Systems

Build a reliable long-term pantry that works on or off the grid.The Off-Grid Preserver: Long-Term Canning & Storage Systems shows you how to turn big harvests, bulk buys, and limited energy into a calm, repeatable preservation system. Instead of scattered recipes, you get clear principles, high-yield planning tools, and practical workflows designed for households that care about self-reliance and low waste.Inside, you’ll learn how to pressure-can meats and low-acid foods safely, plan high-yield crops and batch days, adapt canning and dehydration to propane and solar setups, and design root-cellar and dry storage zones that match real climate targets. Step-by-step checklists, sample day plans, and case studies—like planning winter vegetables for six months—help you map jars, bins, and trays to actual meals instead of guesswork.You’ll also find guidance on dehydration and vacuum sealing, oxygen and moisture control, root-cellar layouts, and simple inventory and rotation systems that keep food moving while waste stays low. Whether you’re fully off-grid, partially grid-tied, or simply want a more resilient pantry, this book gives you the structure to preserve more of what you grow and buy—safely, efficiently, and with confidence.
