Rusty Kappel – The Preparedness Store and Bosch Kitchen Center

Class 1: You can have your food storage and eat it too!

Class 2: Forgotten & Overlooked preparedness items

Emergency Preparedness & Self-Reliance has been an interest, hobby & business of Rusty’s for over 30 years. During this time, he has become an expert in these fields from many hands-on & real life experiences, and is the author of “You Can Have Your Food Storage & Eat It Too”, a recipe book using only dehydrated/freeze dried food storage ingredients.

For the last 23 years he has owned and operates The Preparedness Store & Bosch Kitchen Center in Idaho Falls. He loves to teach and share his knowledge, which he has done by being a guest speaker on numerous radio shows, has had many interviews on television & newspaper, and has taught at over 1,500 speaking engagements.

Thanks to the support of the community and those who travel to visit his store, he is still able to help, provide, and teach others about emergency preparedness, whole grain cooking, self-reliance and much more. He loves being able to help others and see their excitement. His goal and commitment is to provide top quality products at the most affordable price, and offer fast, helpful and personal service which he feels he can do by keeping this a small, family owned business.
