Ask yourself: What preservatives are put in that crap to allow it to "last" for 20 years?
Quoting: Jon Titor Anyone going that route is not going to survive. If you can stockpile a years supply of food , normal dehydrated/canned food , that is ideal, because if you don’t become sustainable, producing your own food, you won’t make it long term anyways.
You need to focus on superfoods that you can grow , harvest, and preserve.
Buying buckets of survival shit food from Costco might make you feel good but you will still die in the end. Probably from that food lol
Growing enough food to survive is not really a given. It sounds good, but having good weather, good soil, manure, and good water in a catastrophic after time is not likely. We do not know what we will face. Wandering gangs of homeless will be looking for food. We may have acid rain, we might find ourselves in a nuclear winter scenario. Preserving that food is tricky. Your garden would have to be huge to feed you and you will need lots of dependable water.
A corn stalk might produce three ears of corn. You will eat them as soon as you can...that is a lot of time, water and luck you might not have. Then you will need to save the seed as well, dry it and protect it thru a very hungry winter.
It is NOT STUPID buying groceries for the long term and the short term. They might not suit your tastes or delicacies but in a survival situation they will keep you alive until you can get back on some stable ground...hopefully.
Costco has a good selection of canned meats like beef,chicken, salmon, pork, Turkey, clams, tuna and my favorite cleaned sardines that don't taste like sardines, packed in virgin olive oil.
One can of beef or chicken can be added to nice soup where dried veggies of all kinds can give adequate nutrition. Buy the buckets of beef or chicken base at a restaurant supply grocer as it will provide rich flavor, salts, and it will last a very long time. They have smaller sealed containers that are good for years.
The beans, white rice, barley, etc. Even dry pastas (organic ) do cause OVEREATERS and food abusers to get diabetes. But in a time where meals are smaller and McBurgers are unavailable and we walk more and work more we will not develop diabetes.
The benefits of molasses, peanut butter with no HFCS, real honey, virgin olive oils, coconut oil, and dried fruits...all available at Costco...will make surviving healthier. Their Ramen and Cup o Noodles are not ideal but they are a sound comfort food using minimal water in an emergency.
One last remark...you cannot afford it.
Skip the car payment, use credit, sell your boat, 4 wheeler, one of your guns, your jewelry, that used car in the driveway, anything you really do not need and perhaps be useless in a catastrophic after-time...AND BUY SUPPLIES NOW.
