Someone, I think it was greeneyes, posted a link to a video some lady did about how to store a year’s worth of food. She says it will fit under the average bed.
I didn’t save the link. However, it was a very interesting video
A day’s wages for a loaf of bread, eh?
Yep, but oil and wine will be plentiful I keep hearing.
Rumor has it.

That was Wendy Dewitt. There are several videos on you tube that she has done, and other people have reposted them. I am putting a link to one below. The under the bed comment, I think was for the long term storage of the #10 cans.
Those can be ordered on line. The LDS on line store is usually cheaper than Walmart, Amazon, or various Essential Emergency food sites. However, it is very basic. Each item is a case of 6 number 10 cans. You do not have to be a church member to order from them.
In addition, she mentions the booklet that she has put together : Everything under the sun - I have linked to that blog also. There is loads of information there, in addition to the 2 booklets I note below:
“Everything under the sun” is an excellent resource with a sample plan for a family complete with recipes and amounts needed for a year. She assumed cooking with solar oven.
Also there is “Everything made simple”. Again gives the complete recipes and amounts for a year. She assumed cooking with a rocket stove too.
As part of those packages there is a 2 page equivalency list for the various cans, containers that is quite handy for making up your own recipes.

Tilted Irish Kilt, maybe you could include these on one of your prepper threads to your ping list. I think it’s one of the best and easiest to get right into and get the job done.
Thank you!
I am thinking more along those lines these days.
What with the drought and water management issues, topped especially by gross government mismanagement, I see us facing food shortages by next winter.
I hope I’m wrong, but China has had the floods and they have been buying massive amounts of grains. Africa has had the locust invasions last year.
We had flooding and storms last year, too.
If the world sees a second year of food shortages, I do not see how widespread shortages and in some places, famine is not a strong possibility. I suspect there won’t be the reserves necessary to get us through another year, and there are no guarantees that next year will be able to make up what we’ve missed these two.
1,200 years ago—when Louis the Pious ruled the Holy Roman Empire, the T’ang Dynasty in China was going into decline, and the Abbasid Caliphate in the Middle East was at its height.
I remember back in the '70s when the appeal went out to conserve water. People were so good at it, the water companies complained about loss of income, so they were allowed to raise rates.
Betcha the same will happen with power.
LOL!!
#20 Back in the old Soviet Union the current dictator was going to visit some airbase or rocket base so the local communists ordered the planting of thousands of trees to line the road from the airport. After the visit the trees all died as no water was nearby. All for show.
In the case of the commies in California they are deliberately destroying the central valley so other commies can buy up the land cheap.
Wait for the feds to declare a Dust Bowl Emergency then spend a trillion trying to create one.
this area is naturally semi arid...we go all summer without rain, but we do get rain right up into late June, early July.....
this year, its been dry since late March...we had one thunderstorm in earlier June....that is all....
very hot, very dry..
It’s not hard to figure out, but most people don’t think of this: river flow has to be above a known minimum to prevent salt water pushing too far inland at high tide. There are inlets along the river that feed municipal drinking water supply systems, and these cannot suffer salt water invasion. “Dumping” fresh water into the ocean maintains river flow above the minimum, which protects these water supplies.
The low humidity is the make-or-break element. It’s dry that way out in Palm Springs, CA, too. It can be 120 degrees, and stepping into the shade makes a huge difference. Where it’s humid, shade makes very little difference as that moisture in the air just carries the heat everywhere.
I grew up and lived in the extreme heat and dry air of the southwest most of my life. It was very tolerable.
But now I'm retired and dying in the heat and humidity of the southeast. It is insufferable.
Current heat and humidity on my farm here in Florida is 90 and 92. You can cut the air with a table knife.
It’s better in the Midwest where they have four seasons: green, brown, white, and mud. But I still prefer dry if it’s gonna get hot. Nothing like being out in shirtsleeves at 2am after a party just relaxing on the patio with the folks who’re staying over; looking at the starry sky, and its 72 degrees with a slight breeze.
Shilling for the climate frauds?
