I constantly get ribbed about how much stuff I have in the basement.
We’ll be clean and fed for a while if the SHTF.
“I constantly get ribbed about how much stuff I have in the basement.”
...you may want to consider an off site cache too...and tell absolutely no one about it...after the food riots begin, I expect there’ll be local ‘food security committees’ that will search everyone’s homes looking for ‘hoarding’...and they will seize any ‘contraband’ they come upon...they will treat food just like when Obama told Joe the Plumber “we’re gonna spread it around”...controlling food will enable politicians to stay in power.
Be sure to have paper plates/dishes to save on water use (Most cook ware can be burned out and scraped), if water is scarce, and wipies, etc. to wash with. If it comes down to washing or drinking, you’ll want to be able to drink (I hope you have a filter!). Non drinkable (unfiltered water) sources can still be used for washing clothes, flushing toilets, etc. Just some things to think about!
