You need a file manager app, which can extract it to a file, and then open it so that you can use it. I use one called "CM File Manager".

Oh hell. . . You lost me. Is that something I can 'Bing" for?

windows 8 and 10 automatically opens zip files, I haven't tried it on any other platforms.

True, but then you cant enter any numbers with the tablet because the HTML is not supported on android.

Sounds like best bet is big computer. It has Windows 10. Yes I am electronically challanged, but I'm ok with that.

 

[WGregMiller]

Welp.... I tried. The forum won't allow me to upload an HTML file.

I unzipped it on the Mac, dropped it into DropBox and it worked fine on the iPad.... Sorry

ON THE OTHER HAND, the HTML version is here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lb5g23umm4tb2km/AADUjQUm4OptvW9XSMp8c_x9a?dl=0

No, go to the Amazon App Store and search for "File Manager"
Look for the one that says "Rythm Software File Manager" at the top left of the image.
After you install file manager, download the file.
Open file manager and go to "Download" folder.
Hold your finger down on the file until a menu pops up
Select Extract
Select Extract to This Directory

Then once you see the file "Food Calculator.html" click on it
Click on "Open with HTML Viewer" and "Always"
You're done!

Thank Doc. I will try this after work today. I need my coffee first.

The note I didn’t include with the calculator, the water is calculated for only two month, a way to replenish the water is a must.

View attachment 8911 Just after rotating and reorganizing. Have 5 more #10 freeze dried cans coming soon too. All this was from adding just a few items here and there to my normal shopping. You really don’t need to go out and break the bank all at once to build up a decent reserve.

You did a great job. How nice to have a place for everything, so well organized too.

In case anyone is looking for a good buy on whole cloves. I was looking for some cheap and searching walmarts site. They have some whole cloves (16 oz bag) listed for 17.64 but the photo shows tomatoes, HUH?? I think they may have made an error, in any case it is Frontier Organic whole cloves, so that would be 1.10 per ounce, I priced McCormicks brand, local Walmart had one bottle left it was almost 5.00 dollars for 0.62 ounces. I would not pay the price at over 7.00 dollars an ounce. If you do much pickling go for it and see what happens.

I was just about to ask what you do with cloves. I seem to remember choking when I tried a clove cigarette years ago... best stick to pickling.

 

[Dani]

I'll stick cloves into hams at holiday baking and also lemons and oranges for potpourri. Good for a pain reliever when you have a toothache too.

Hot dogger! I played around and it came up. Thank you!

@Maverick Thanks for the calculator. Looks like my estimations were close to their numbers.

 

[Dani]

Here is a calculator that may help and give some information. It is formatted in HTML, tested in Firefox and Chrome. I put it in a zip file given I'm unable to upload a HTML formatted page

Nice little calculator to have to help give you an idea of how much you will need to have stored up. Everyone will need to adjust it some to fit their s and their families needs. If your family doesn't eat that much wheat, than add to the flour or cornmeal to bring it to the right poundage. I can look and tell right off the bat I would need more sugar and brown sugar along with more salt and baking soda. 1 gallon of vinegar would not do us either, it's more like 8. I also know for us, I don't keep any dry soup mixed around except for the homemade Lipton onion soup for cooking with. Just a few examples. This is an excellent tool to get you stocking up basics.

Rellgar,

If you’re doing it on a PC, you’ll have to unzip it or go to the post I made last night - there is an unzipped version there you can download.

Ok. I’ll get you a screen shot for 7 in a little while.

Oh I just got it to work, i tried it in chrome and it works. It would not work in duckduckgo browser.

How could anything work in something called DuckDuckGo! Lol. Seriously, I’m smart enough to follow directions to learn to do something on a computer, but I’m amazed at the people that enjoy the challenge of figuring it out....

After 30 something years of doing just that, it’s kind of second nature. I’m not going to let a computer beat me if I can help it,

My son is the same thank goodness. Otherwise I probably would have thrown my computer away! Seriously, my computer is a piece of crap. The only reason I don’t replace it is I will have to learn how the new one works..... at least with this one I can know what to expect when I’m using it!

I really don’t even like updates as they change stuff!
