Prepper Ping - Venezuela Update - "Not eaten meat in two months"

As stated by another poster :" Salvador Allende tried the same thing in Chile during the 1970’s, nationalizing most industries and collectivizing its farms.
He destroyed the country in less than 3 years and ended up committing suicide when the coup reached his doorstep.
I see a similar series of events going on in Venezuela right now."

Meat provides essential proteins and enzymes for full nutrition.
Venezuelans are going without meat due to cost, and their bodies are suffering as a result.
The average Venezuelan has lost a minimum of 20 pounds,or more, and maybe losing even more weight if they have youngsters to feed as well.
One should know how to grow your own garden food for vitamins and minerals, but also learn about meat preservation for energy and proteins.
Adequate Prepper skills should include & familiarize yourself on how to preserve meat: smoking, brineing, salting, canning, sun-dried, freezing (in winter) etc...
P.S. : You learn more from your failures, than from your successes. No time like the present to begin -> in a time of plenty !

I haven’t eaten meat in 48 years... the solution is to know how to eat complete proteins, it is not difficult.

Pressure canning works great and is far easier than most people realize.

The big hurdle to get over is that it’s intimidating initially.

And stay away from big cities.

All good to know, but we need to get the meat first!

We moved to rural Tennessee with the Cherokee National Forest right at the end of the holler. Lots of deer in there. Our neighbor is retired but is keeping his herd of Black Angus, because he’s ready for the collapse. I hope to barter with him.

I’m so happy we moved here! Part was calculated, but part was just dumb luck. Having great neighbors that are planning and thinking just like we are is part of that luck. I didn’t interview all the neighbors of the properties we were considering :)

Anyway, anybody looking to relocate, consider East Tennessee. It’s beautiful and is ‘behind’ the times. Which to me, means it’s paradise.

So, how’s the fishing been in Venezuela?

I would also suggest that one gain an understand of the individual amino acids that comprise protein, and their nutritional characteristics and sources.

And raise chickens...
