Preppers’ PING!!
Kart,
Another good post - Thanks.
But... but... but... gold does a body good!
Curious to know how much everyone has cut back on beef consumption here.
I’m buying under 10 lbs a month.
The rest is on-sale chicken and bulk pork tenderloin at Sam’s.
We have been making a serious dent in our food preps, too.
Has the SHTF already and no one told us?
When one trip to the grocery for a few days worth of produce & milk is over $60, something is definitely OFF.

Water , Food, firearms, hygiene, fiscal resources / barter items for post event recovery, shelter, fuel , cordwood, medical, clothing...... all cash in the cache........ my opinion.
The fellow writing the article is not well grounded in knowing where to store food. In two places he suggests storing food in a garage. Here are his words about garages:
“For those (more fortunate) individuals able to devote entire rooms (or perhaps a garage) to such investing;...”
“For homeowners, who have considerable living space, but (for whatever reason) have little storage space available for food investing; building a structure for food storage, such as a shed or (expanded) garage is a cost outlay which would likely pay for itself over a relatively short-term period.”
A shed or garage will have high temperatures and that causes food to spoil rapidly, even twenty year food deteriorates at a rapid pace. Cool/cold temperature is required for maintaining the shelf life of any food. Plus, varmints (think rats, raccoons, squirrels, etc.) will get into stored food if left where they can get to it. Many people leave their garage doors open and that is a feast for varmints. Never store food in a garage or other outside location. This guy’s food is going to be spoiled or eaten by varmints.
I recall reading about Mormons who are required to store food. The church had to counsel their members because members were using their garages to store their food.
Store food in the coolest place you can manage. Heat is a destroyer of food.
Why has beef gotten so high in price? Hamburger is the price a good steak use to be. Bacon went up too but I found it cheaper at Grocery Outlet.
