The Truly Preserved Community is a private Facebook group for readers of this site — people building a deep pantry, storing water, and getting ready for outages, comparing notes in plain language.
It is run by the Truly Preserved Facebook Page. Only members can see what is posted, and joining is free.
What happens in the group
- What we test next — members vote on upcoming comparisons, and the winning topic gets researched first.
- Show-and-tell Wednesdays — pantries, shelves, water setups, power gear. The improvised setups are usually the most useful.
- Straight answers — ask a food storage, water, or backup power question and compare notes with people solving the same problem.

New to all this? Run the free household emergency checklist first — it sizes food, water, light, and power for your household. The free tools run the numbers for your house, including the food and water planner and the power station size calculator.
The house rules, short version
- Help first.
- No spam and no self-promotion.
- No buying or selling yet.
- Product links live in the articles on this site, where prices are checked and dated — not in the group.
