Hi, Reader!

In the deepest part of winter, dehydrating food may not be on your mind. You've just survived the Holidays, the weather outside is frightful, and you just want to curl up and hibernate until Spring.

However, it's important that we never remove ourselves so much from stocking our pantries that we completely miss out on a great time of year to put things away for when we really need them.

Imagine one of these scenarios:

• Being socked in by snow or ice and can't get to a store for days (happened here in Texas a few years ago and it was BAD!)
• Getting the flu or a cold so bad that you can't do much more than open a can of something just to keep yourself and your family fed.
• Being without power for days because of ice buildup on the energy infrastructure in your area
• Being without work during the winter because your job tends to be seasonal.
• Social events in your area make it hard to leave to get groceries

There are even more reasons than these that make putting up food for your dry pantry a necessity that you should continue throughout the winter.

These aren't reasons to bring fear - but awareness that things can happen, and we can do things to help mitigate them.

If you're in the Southern Hemisphere, keep these newsletters handy to refer to in July!
