Great ideas, TY! I’ll double check my supplies, but I KNOW i need more batteries, Dawn, and possibly more kitten food (If i keep one. or more)

FYI I’ve been experimenting with food storage for things that aren’t recommended to store long-term. BUT there should be a way to store for longer, even if there are oils, etc, in them. So I’ve been putting cat/dog food in mylar with oxygen absorbers, to last over a year, I’m guessing 2-3 years. And in food saver bags for sooner than that. I tested this out with chocolate. LOL. Snickers bars lasted quite well in mylar for several years. So did Reese’s eggs. And Italian Baci chocolate. The chocolate wasn’t even whitish or looking old, and was as soft as if it was fresh. SO I’m guessing the pet food and whatever else I store will be similar. I haven’t tested up to 5 years yet - I have a couple more years to go to open those and partake. Hey, what I’ll sacrifice for science!

Thanks for the ideas, I will get busy!

I remember the prepper threads, from a few years ago.

YOU are the master prepper, CB!

Well, since Mother Abigail passed on the torch to you and Pollard, that is :)
