Ackowledgements:
Much of the category organization has made following the book "Making the Best of Basics: Family Preparedness Handbook" by James Talmage Stevens. Publisher: Origin Books Sales, Inc.; 10th edition (July 1997). ISBN: 1882723252. This book is a wonderful resource for organizing, planning, and using your food storage. Although this program was made without the collaboration of James Talmage Stevens or the publishers of Making the Best of Basics", the authors of this program highly recommend "Making the Best of Basics" as a reference for your library. In addition to catagorizing your food storage following "Making the Best of Basics", this program will allow you to keep track of your inventory, estimate the minimum usage rate of your food storage (use it or lose it!), and budget food storage purchases in 3, 6, and 12 month increments. This program was written by Daniel and Heidi Bartholomeusz. This program can be edited and distributed as long as the distributions are free of charge. Questions: Please contact dab2@utah.edu
