The comments are great. I hope this list is a catalyst for other Q&A. It would NOT hurt us to spend a few minutes thinking like Ma Ingalls.

Can you recommend an hand-crank grain mill?

I'm interested in that too!
The Wondermill's Wonder Jr. Deluxe seems popular, but the $200 price tag will hit my budget hard.

Our family's favorite pressure cooker meal is Charro beans (pintos w/ onions, bacon, left over meat, and seasonings). Rather than all day (or night) in a crock pot, I boil the beans for 2 minutes then let them sit for 1 - 2 hours in the hot water. Then I throw everything in the pressure cooker for 10 minutes. With a side of cornbread, in my cast iron skill of course, my hubby and sons are smiling ear to ear!
Guess what's for supper tonight!!! ;)

Question ~ I've heard a 25 or 50 lb. container of wheat berries will last a very long time. Can you estimate the whole berry to ground flour ratio? i.e. How much ground flour would I get from 1 cup of wheat berries?
Also, have you ever tried wheat berries in a pressure cooker instead of a crock pot? I've been practicing with my pressure cooker, in case electricity prices or availability become a problem, and I don't want to run an oven or crock pot for 8 - 10 hours. I've hand several successes.

I'm not promoting the concuption of expired foods,
but in a TEOTWAWKI if it smells good and doesn't taste rancid, I'm going to eat it!

I've experimented w/ canned milk as old as 6 months past the Best By Date.
Open, smell, taste...I've relied on my senses to let me know if it's dangerous.
So far...so good!
