Sequential Food Storage Part I - The skinny on avoiding the skinny. (Please Read!!)

Anyway, I can hear all Y’all saying, “What in Tarnation is Old Doctor Prepper rambling about?”

Well, here it is: We all need to provide for our families on a budget and provide food they will eat and; as a little side note, not get certain parties (Ahem) noticing what we are all doing.

This is a system developed to do just that. Survival experts will tell you to “Store what you eat, and eat what you store”, But what does that really mean?

This saying means buying food and supplies and storing them for the approximate time of their “Use by” dates and then consuming them, replenishing them as you do so.

You are “Sequentially” buying and storing foods you would normally eat so that IF the SHTF you will have at least several month accumulation of food and supplies for your family.

The only real downside to do this is that you will need to spend a little more to stock up and storage space for it all – but you were going to do that anyway, weren’t you? WEREN’T You?

Now, I’ve broken down these ideas into a series of postings so your eyes don’t all glaze over with a real long diatribe on my part.

To begin, I’ve divided the task up into the ABC’s – as in:

A – Assessment – I can’t tell you what your families needs are or what they will eat, you need to do that on your own. This part of the system simply means you take an assessment of your daily needs and what you normally stock in your pantry.

B – Buy – This is just the ins and out of an ongoing effort to stock up on food and supplies.

C – Cycle as in going through these supplies as a matter of normal routine. This is so that you always have relatively fresh inventory of food and supplies. An inventory of foods you family will already eat so that IF and when the SHTF, you will be ready.

Next week (Hopefully), I will post the second part of the series, stay tuned.

Wow, you’re a real cheese whiz!

Freeze dried cheese is awesome. Melts in enchiladas just like fresh.

An “uncle” (close family friend) had a Model A or a Model T. The batteries apparently worked by a crank or some such. He’d throw the connections into a pond, crank away, electrocute the fish, and feed everybody he knew.

You can fish with an old crank telephone as well. These days, you could probably use a permanent magnet DC motor like a car starter motor.

I have a friend who lives in South Africa. He said that big dogs are mandatory for survival.

yep - rabbits and chickens - for meat, eggs and even fur -makes great hats and mittens They don't need a lot of pasture or big barns and lots of hay. Trade for milk/butter - or trade for raw milk and make your own butter
