remember, the powers that be will be aware of this and have tainted canned foods, probably loose foods too, with mind control chemicals.

As an addendum - re storing flour, freeze the flour first for 48 hour at least in order to kill off all those weevil peskies that have been incubating in there...(pack in plastic bag and tinfoil)
Then take out of freezer and store as recommended here - airtight container.
I also have methods of preparing and storing wheat etc - and many other preparedness subject areas see here

You guys can buy food for storage here at below wholesale costs. http//:www.5298.freefood2go.com I know this is promoting a particular site, but they do have the lowest prices on the internet. I have been ordering a little each month and the food is actually better than you would expect.

I have read the best way to store flour is to store the wheat berries and just grind them as you need them.

When I was in Russia I ate honey that was over 30 years old with no problems but honey is rather expensive.
Also buy canned foods that do not need to be cooked to save fuel and also not to send out signals that you have food to the many starving zombies outside...

Re: How to Buy and Store Bulk Food for the Coming Food Crisis
If you are just now figuring out that having a decent amount put by in case of ______ happening, you are way behind the curve.

There are 1000s of websites devoted to the subject, and hundreds of vendors online who can provide you with LTS (long term storage) foods.

Many "survival" websites also have a resources page, with various recommendations about what to store, and how much and in what way.

Here is a good way to start:

Re: How to Buy and Store Bulk Food for the Coming Food Crisis
For those in NC, SC, and VA, I have some pretty good prices on bulk dry goods. Check out www.TheGrainMillWF.com when you get the opportunity. I can get over 4000 different products in with $0.06 / lb freight to my retail store in Wake Forest. That's only a $3.00 freight fee for a 50 lb bag of beans or rice when you pick up here.

Re: How to Buy and Store Bulk Food for the Coming Food Crisis
I shop locally @ Honeyville in Ontario, CA. I hardly shop @ grocery stores anymore! You can buy their products online...Their shipping is always $4.94 per order, whether its 1 can or 1 semi-truck full..Google them & check it out.

They are the #1 food storage supply in CA. You can buy food that's already canned, or buy the 50# bags. They also sell a ton of recipe books!

P.S. (I don't know anyone who works there. I don't work there, & I'm not Mormon)

Re: How to Buy and Store Bulk Food for the Coming Food Crisis
When storing food and other survival suppies. don't forget the guns and ammo. When TSHTF you may need to defend your food from roving gangs, or even hungry neighbors. You should also start thinking about how far you are willing to go to insure the survival of you and your family. If you are not willing to protect your food, you may want to rethink your survival plan. Maybe start looking for the nearest FEMA camp.
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Mylar bag FTW! It doesn't matter if you are down with the Mormons or not, but they tend to be very good at this sort of thing, you might be buying from them.

Re: How to Buy and Store Bulk Food for the Coming Food Crisis
While I am in favor of being wise for any manufactured food crisis, and any that happen are or will be manufactured, this article places far too much emphasis on the availability of un-interrupted supply of electricity for the storage purpose.

This is a dangerous path to follow as my personal belief is that if or when food crisis starts it could be part of a chain reaction which would also lead to the loss of electrical power.

cool dry and dark suggests a basement or storm cellar. This, though a proper suggestion, does not cover it all for enough people.

Unfortunately this article also failed to mention that anything which has undergone any type of processing is also designed to have a very short storage time frame. All that means is that you are not able to "store" food you purchase in the average grocery store.

There is no clean/cut and dry method of preparing.

Here is my best suggestion for any who are thinking of storing food.

Store it cooked or store things which do not require cooking. Reason why is simply that if you cook it you advertise you have it. If you stir up a food smell in a food shortage it is like placing a neon sign on your house that says you are the target for their hunger. The smell of cooking food can travel much further than one may think and if you attract people to the smell of cooking food you can almost imagine that they will hunt you down and kill you for your food if necessary, that is if they don't simply rob you and leave you with nothing.

Re: How to Buy and Store Bulk Food for the Coming Food Crisis
We have live chickens, no refrigeration necessary, self perpetuating with the 2 roosters help.
Yum! Fresh Eggs and if we decide to thin the herd, lots of chicken dinners!

Did you know your store bought eggs have been tinkered with? They even homogonize then at very low temps. Many people have no idea what a fresh untouched egg tastes like.
----

On another semi-off topic note:(sorry OP)
I ate fresh pork once that was no blood drained completely and it was heaven!Often called "Green Pork" and is not allowed to be sold to the public in many states and supermarkets. Almost all pork has been treated in one way or another.

I am sure the fresh killed pork I ate clearly showed me that our foods are being toyed with to keep us sedate and mellow.
Who in their right mind would consume a animal body that was not completely drained of all it's blood.
ALL I can say is..I t tasted wild and wonderful and I felt full of life and a bit wild for a time myself.

Who ever came up with the blood draining thing anyway?
I mean serious chefs know that blood pudding is almost all blood anyway. SO why drain it from the animals we consume?
