To: right way right

I’d call that a good start.LOL I’ve got canned chickens, pork, tuna, salmon, clams, dehydrated meats, to last a year. We also have lots of rice,beans, and other staples for at least a year. Now we are working on expanding our normal 3 month pantry to a one year pantry for all our favorites.

I also have 24 gallons of bottled water, and 2000 gallons of pool water, and 130 gallons of rain barrel water, and a well. We have 3 backup ways of getting the well water in case the electricity goes off.

We have several ranks of firewood, and two years of future firewood on our extra lot, and about 10 years worth on our land out of town which is by a small stream. Our property line goes to the middle of the stream.

I am thinking we might have the water thing squared away. Still working on the food supply and other stuff. It’s a work in process, and we do use the stuff regulary.

We also started growing and preserving our own food. Every year our pantry has a bit more of homegrown stuff versus stuff we used to buy in the supermarket.

Ammo might be needed if the guy up stream dams the river. That’s what happened here and no one was able to stop it.
