What Food Prepping Have You Done?

For the vast majority of the history of mankind we have put up food and planned ahead. I think we have removed ourselves from the wisdom of a life that doesn't solely depend on the assumption that our economy will always be there... there will be no droughts... there will be no disruption of the "food" supply that we find at our corner grocer. To live without putting food aside is living with these assumptions on a daily basis.

Right!

What he said. Also


My husband and I are retired and have very limited income...we have stocked up in preparation of having limited income...also inflation, every thing is getting more expensive every day!

I prefer to be prepared and not have to depend on others for my survival, in what ever comes our way....pretty simple really!

You'd be surprised what you could do with very little space. Go to youtube and search square foot gardening... pallet garden... small space gardening. Every little bit helps and it puts us back in touch with our own food supply.

When it comes to food preps it is also important to remember the following:

Paper plates and plastic cups
Plastic utensils
Rolls of aluminum foil
As many bags of charcoal as you can afford/able to store
A secondary small backpack/camping stove for being able to heat water by the quart
Lots of matches

I also have a nice solar oven for cooking and boiling water

Other preps to consider is multiple bags of dog food (if you have dogs). We have 3-5 at any given time and always rotate the oldest first then immediately buy a new bag to replace it.

I have a linear fresnel lens on a stand that I can use to cook with sunshine. It's pretty cool.

I don't see how having 3-5 dogs and rotating them from the oldest to the youngest will help anything.

I have briquettes and keep at least three months of dog and cat food on hand...the dog food can be stretched by adding some cooked oatmeal. Dogs don't need protein to survive but cats do. I also found online and then Costco had them, a small propane stove with an oven...Its called a "Camp Chef"...I have several small bottles of propane and about a half dozen large one. We have firewood also, and we have cast iron pans, and a Dutch oven. I also have a couple of the kerosene camp stoves and lanterns...redundancy in some area's but you need back ups for your back ups...

We have lots of paper plates, plastic ware, paper towels, napkins, and don't forget toilet paper...

I probably have a couple of weeks of food on hand and if things get so bad that there is a food shortage nothing longer would really help. A complete breakdown in society would allow those stronger, hungrier and more desperate to risk their lives for food for themselves and food for their families. A few guns in the house might stop a few, but it's not going to stop the starving.

Folks will end up dead with a great stockpile of food for those who killed them.

WOW...you don't have much hope. I do...and I am going to do the best I can to protect and provide for my family and friends...because its important for good to prevail and I believe it will in the end. If I don't see it...I will be with my Lord! I am not afraid...I am prepared! I believe God is leading me and He has provided a way for us to do this...
