For those who don’t have skill in such things, coconut oil is an easier (and less risky) option. Extremely good for you, long shelf life, and very hardy. A few gallons of coconut oil would take care of all of your need for healthy fat. Plus, it can be used in a wide variety of ways, from slathering on toast, to sweetening things like cocoa, to deep-frying.
If there really is a long-term SHTF moment (more than a couple of months), coconut oil has the potential to be one of the most valuable, and most easily stored, commodities.
I agree most wholeheartedly! I LOVE coconut oil! I have used it exclusively for years. I take three tablespoons or so a day, plus use it for cooking. It is a VERY healthful oil, and keeps indefinitely. I have some that I’ve had for years, and it is still fresh. The pails are handy for storage of other stuff, too.
