Practical advice, but needs to include bacon and chocolate! ;)

Ping, if appropriate. Kinda basic, but you never know who is new to FR and/or prepping. :)

Caution: Bacon and chocolate will shrink your favorite clothes!

Dried beans .....a meal all by themselves!!! If one can garner the fixins for cornbread he’s in business!!!

[Dallas59]

Chickens, Greens and Watermelon...easy to grow and eat....

A 20-pound bag of rice is nice to have, too! Like pasta, rice keeps for a very long time.

Weird that they didn’t!

Bacon is a skillset. Speaking of smoky breakfast foods, I need to cure and smoke some more feral pork.

Preppers’ PING!!

Hat tip to Freeper Diana in Wisconsin fro the heads-up!

I get my Dak canned ham from CVS when they are on sale. I also buy a lot of staples and then vacuum pack them myself with oxygen absorbers verse paying a lot more buying them commercially on line. I also dehydrate and pack my own vegtables.

Also I am repeating myself, but I am NO fan of these food kits with preppared meals! You will be better off with the makings which you can create a varity of different meals verses having 8-12 selection, because some of them you are bond not to like.

Lastly get yourself if you can a invite to a LDS cannery. You can’t beat the prices and if you get a chance to work in the cannery it can be fun and educational. Wish I could get another invite.

He and his crew may very well be my worst nightmare but there is at least a chance that I will be his worst nightmare.

You have to carefully store drink powders with sugar. Sugar is hydrophilic it will suck moisture out of the atmosphere. Your beverage powder will turn into a beverage rock.
