You can only survive 3 Weeks without it, start storing food, NOW!!!

and don't forget to buy plenty of ammo. If you dont have one buy one, at least a 22 cal. and alots and lots of ammo. You'll need it to protect all food. Your right they are coming to get them...Please check out Programme of Action... U.N. Doc to disarm us all.

Yes let us not forget from this very intelligent 300th post on a thread about how food can save your life, buy more ammo:

We have our own well with hand pump capability.

A fish pond might be nice. We have enough space we could easily have one.

Guy up the road has an old one, long time.
It's balanced.
He never has to throw any food in there.
The thing is self-sustaining.

The guy on the property next to us used to have one.
He made the mistake of putting cats in there.
They burrowed under the driveway; it started collapsing.
He filled it.


I actually like beans. And rice.

For rice, 50/50 white/brown is my fav.

There there are red beans.

I make up red beans and rice.

A stainless steel pressure cooker will help you conserve on fuel energy: cooks a pot of beans in much less time. Much.

Everybody should already be practiced in doing basics like beans and rice, already know how to come up with something hearty and tasty.

Beans of all sorts, folks.

Red, pinto, black, whatever.

Black my fav.

You should also have traps.

We do.

Small and large live catch.

For those who think they are going to, "make it," bugging out from the city to the hinterlands, reality will be harsh.

Best to engineer, if at all possible, a move to something that could sustain you.
Even there it will be no picnic.
Even in the country there are people that are short sighted that think a gun is all they really need.... to take from someone else.

I've heard some of them talk just so.

We have sheds.

With all the hand tools we would need.
We have the power/gas goodies as well for regular times.

But hand tools, and ability to maintain and use, a must.

Then there are medical needs.
Basic kit/meds.
Be ready to sew something up if need be.

And knowledge of plants in the area. What for what purpose.

City dwellers should start by identifying what is in their area, plant-wise. Many would be surprised.
I did this exercise in the 70s in the Los Angeles area.
Great carob pods from trees on Hawthorne Blvd.
I could make a salad from green things I found walking along.
Rose hips added to that salad for vitamin c.

Start where you are at, even if in the city, to get in the swing of things.

Learn to make your own bread. Here is a short video on how to make a 5 minute, no-knead bread that I've made a number of times and we love it:



Here's a few tips I've learned by trial & error:

1.) Don't expect much the first few batches you make. By the 3rd or 4th batch you should start to taste a big improvement.

2.) I highly suggest adding a tablespoon of honey. This ingredient is not in the video but IMO it makes or breaks the bread.

The cost is about 50 cents a loaf. Not bad for something without all the additives you get in your store bought brands.

All purpose flour will last about a year at room temperature as long as it's in a sealed container. Longer if the Temp's are lower.

To really appreciate your freshly baked bread, be sure to have some jelly/jams ready after the bread has been out of the oven for 5 minutes. Mmmmmm-Mmmmmm-MMM!

Yep.

I make my own breads.

Started by hand.

Have a bread maker for convenience now.

But started by hand.
And from time to time do something by hand.
I keep in practice just because.

Flat breads as well in a pan.

Tortillas. Flour and corn.

Variety is nice.

Friend keeps bees. Raw honey. Best.

Excellent post, green karma for you!

Excellent posts.

Regarding food/preps:

1/3 kept @ home
1/3 at closest bug-out site (could be relatives, etc)
1/3 at 'undisclosed' (private) locale (storage)

Techniques:

Strong duffle bags/backpacks from goodwills:

Pack EACH bag with combination of these several essentials
(as opposed to having one bag for water, one bag for clothes, one bag for food):

Bag 1: (water/food/meds/candy/blankets/clothes/flashlight
matches/candles/change/map/mres/ etc.)

Bag 2: Repeat (add on as needed)

Keep one bug-out bag in trunk of auto (extra walking shoes; coat; mres; beverages; zero degree super light weight sleeping bag; change; contact list in case cell phone goes out)

Store 5 gal gasoline (or more) in secure locale.

If 'stuck' somewhere the rules are:

SHELTER IN PLACE: (bug out bag in vehicle)
WARMTH: ^ ^ ^

For "ladies" who go 'out' whether to pubs/clubs/bars:

NEVER EVER GET DRESSED UP WITH HIGH HEELS INADEQUATE CLOTHES FOR 'UNEXPECTED' CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE YOU HAVE TO WALK LONG DISTANCE:

Bug Out Bag In Your Trunk (or your friend's car)

Dark clothes, Dark Hoodies, Tennis Shoes
(to blend in --any-- environment)

(KNIFE/GUN)

Thread: Food prices not gun control may be catalyst for 2013 REVOLUTIONS!!! Food Prices already up 9% this year!!!

I took a gun toting-know it all-braggart turkey hunting with me this year. He missed 4 easy targets and was amazed on how difficult it was (not so for me)
When we got home, I took him to the back yard, through my turkey up on the table, gave him a knife, and said:" pretend this was your bird. Clean it, cook it. Then come get me for dinner (I've cooked wild game, fish,pig,etc. For him for years)

WHAT A MESS!!!! He had know clue on how to prep ANYTHING.

If you plan on feeding on wild life, you'd better know how to clean and cook em.

tick tock..
tick tock..
I hope you have some food in stock...

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! You revived the old thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tick tock is right, and that clock spring is pretty tight.

How about a bump for ya.

Why all the fear mongering?

The Government has plenty of food stocked for the population during an emergency. Plus they have been storing ammunition so as to protect us.

That's what FEMA is all about.

Self Preservation is not fear mongering..
If you still think the government will save you there is nothing more I can do for you..
Good luck, your going to need it soon I think..

What do ya mean three seconds without hope?

For the last 8 years since Obummer was elected..you have not had any hope..and you are STILL alive?

Heck..they even took your twinkies away..and STILL you refuse to die...

But maybe..once they hit the beer and the pizza..and cancel amercan idol..THEN maybe the death toll will kick in.

This is the most important rule. because without hope, your already dead..

Survival depends upon your ability to shake yourself out of the stupor of disbelief and hopelessness.

Most individuals freeze in an emergency. In the immediate confusion and chaos, the human brain tries to draw upon some familiar experience for a plan of action. Finding none, we become immobile. You have three seconds to decide that you have hope and move forward.

Beyond the geopolitical and socio-economic hurdles before us,
remember:

There are still a couple of months of winter weather for many parts of the country.

Spring storms are around the corner

Summer storms (tornado/ flood) are only a few months away.

Hurricane season is only a few months away

Prepare for those things that have an actual propensity of happening within your geographic area, and you'll be prepared should the day arise that zombies start walking down your street.

Actually, I read somewhere that a person who solo sailed across the Atlantic in a tiny boat, mainly ate dog food. Main reason was it was very light weight, and highly nutritious. Actually, when you really think about it, dog food is the perfect survival food....IF you can get past the psychological icky factor most people would have. Then again, after starving for a week, a nice warm bowl of dogfood and hot water mush would be heavenly.

Please buy additional food for others. It is imperative that you do this if you can afford it. Not everyone is a bad guy.

LOL! That was written in response to an English poster who is not only unarmed but would have a legal hassle to deal with if they protect themselves with anything normally considered a weapon.

Even for gun owners, wasp spray is useful stuff. It could give you time to get to your gun if you don't carry it with you every waking moment.

I remember this tip well. It's brilliant. We get lots of wasps around our house and my hubby uses a Raid wasp spray. You don't want even a little of that stuff! I got a good whiff when the wind changed suddenly one time. Can't imagine how awful a good face full would be.

the biggest problem is mentally.. its not the idea of sustainability, but its being alone and more or less the laughing stock of others thinking ive completely lost it

and it will continue like this for years, i could be old before others know i was right all the time

You can only survive three days without it! How about storing water!!

Thread: You can only survive 3 days without it , Start storing water, NOW!!!

Please don't do this.

Bag dog food is primarily corn meal that has been sprayed with animal fat in order to make it appeal to the dog. It won't kill you, but it surely won't help you live - and yes, there is a difference. The amount necessary for consumption in order to be beneficial is simply not practical for storage, transport or, for that matter - consumption.

Canned dog food is only slightly better, however, there are many more options for better tasting, more nutritious food that is in better packaging (nitrogen flushed mylar bags), lighter, and much more easily stored and transported.

Of the two, the canned/ meaty dog food would be the better, but that's not saying much. I would highly recommend picking up a can tomorrow and try it - I'll just about guarantee minds will change about depending on dog food; especially when you put this in the light of a cold, dark environment, with no condiments to cover the taste, and your body running out of fuel, requiring you to eat more and more of the same awful stuff over and over with no definite end date in sight.

I don't/ won't feed bagged or canned dog food to my dog (dogs are carnivores not meant to have a diet of processed corn), therefore, I don't plan on eating it either. The fact that we have the luxury to discuss the possibilities of various foods via the Internet also means that we also have the luxury of preparing now with edible, nutritious food that won't leave you with explosive diarrhea at the best, or with scurvy at the other end of the spectrum.

As much as I hate the canned foods like ravioli (very high sodium content), I'd rather see someone eating that instead - the cans, weight, and price are comparable.

I was trying to find this thread, thanks for bumping it!
