You have your 1,000 pounds of wheat. Your 500 gallons of water and enough ammo to make Chuck Norris jealous but the question remains, are you truly prepared? Just because youve been prepping for twenty years doesnt mean you havent made some mistakes along the way. Its not enough to just have your emergency food storage, you have to be able to store it, eat it and even move it if things really get crazy.

We went with multiple redundancies in our water plan. We live in Florida and without AC we’ll need a lot of water. Water supply isnt a problem for us, only making it fit to drink. In hurricanes we’ve gone through a case of water very quickly.

Yeah it didn’t work for me either when I tried getting that bottle of 18 yr old Macallan.

So building an inventory of Scotch is an investment that works either way I spoke with someone who had lived through a SHTF situation and he believed that a supply of Scotch or a similar type of thing desired by men under a lot of stress was much more useful than gold, or any other store of value. It even trumped ammunition, since the liquor could be traded for anything else you wanted, and used to pay your security force.

Hops provide preservative benefits for beer as well as bittering. They also have potentially beneficial uses in the diets of ruminant animals.
To: posterchild
Yep, but if TSHTF, storing beer will probably be a low priority.

Physical fitness is an important and common fail among preppers.

I have one but have never used it. Do have a katadyn water filter that works extremely well. Plus a few bottles of water purifier (iodine crystals) for the mobile side of things. Also, have the calcium hypochlorite and a Berky water filter.

I have five fifty five gallon barrels in the garage to flush the toilet. I am on my own septic system. I am working on a rain collecting system. It's one of the last few things that I need, then TS can HTF for all I care. I just want to help bring America back to where she belongs.

Drain your toilet tank and give it a good wipe down with bleach once a year. That’s four to five gallons of drinkable water. Also drain your water heater every year. That’s forty to sixty gallons of drinkable water.

Buyer can’t just shoot you on the spot with it.

Well, she was probably concerned that the inventory wouldn’t be there if the S really did HTF. If I ever had 18 yo Macallan, it sure wouldn’t be.
But I really do think that the prepper argument for good Scotch (something in the range from JW Red to low-end single malts, the great Scotch whiskies) really is valid.

Bread was one of my specialties at culinary school. 4.0 GPA for baking. nice!
