What's your food storage plan?

[specops56]

have a multi-level food storage plan:

Level 1 - Short term: Grocery store canned and dry goods.
Level 2 - Short term turns into mid term: MREs.
Level 3 - Mid term turns into long term: Commercial freeze dried & dehydrated food + home dehydrated food.
Level 4 - Permanent TEOTWAKI: Beef jerky, garden seeds, the fish pond 1/4 mile from my house in the neighborhood and the local deer, rabbits, possums, squirrels & raccoons I’ve been feeding in my backyard for the last 20 years.

As for water: There is a creek that runs through the woods behind my house as well as aforementioned fish pond, buckets for rain and multiple water filters.

Played that game for the Millennial. Close to 6,000.00 worth. Included water purification system for pond water and fuel storage. Gave most all of it to food banks. No more.

I never thought y2k would cause chaos by itself but figured the black pajama crowd would take advantage of any disruption, so we stocked up on canned food, rice and beans. Already had a well, rigged up a bucket in case of power outage. Built a well ventilated lean-to on the barn to hide a 300 gallon tank I bought for $50 and filled with gas. Our food bill was very low that year. The wife sewed up a few bandoliers.
One thing we learned was that beans will oxidize and become hard to cook so if I were to do it again I would use smaller containers for them.
Now, I live in a travel trailer, not a lot of room so my cupboards are full and have just 1 bucket of freeze dried chow.

I'm not counting on any meat on the hoof to keep us alive. By the time we get down low enough on our canned/dried food to need fresh meat, the other idiots will have killed/eaten every critter in the woods. Fudd is not big on planning, so he's figuring on living off the land... until there's nothing left.

The way I see it, if TEOTWAKI doesn't happen, the worst that will happen is I'll be eating food today at yesterday's prices.

During the depression deer were seldom seen, even in sparsely populated Montana. I talked to the old timers when I grew up there and they told me about gophers, marmots, etc. Of course I had to try all those delicacies.

Does a cupboard full of canned goods, some #10 cans of dehydrated food and a few MRE’s count?

Need to get some gallon jugs of water at Sam’s so we will have that….

Was going to get a case of MRE’s but at just under $18 each no way in hell

Looks like what MRE’s we have I need to sell and make mad cash 🤣🤣
