Yeah, I like Tuna, and I like Sardines. I am not really sure how long they last. Stored in a dark cabinet (though they really should be impervious to light inside their cans) - I will eat them either out of necessity or because I enjoy them.

The rice and beans, well, they are dried so should last for ages. And AFAIK, if you eat rice and beans together they synthesize into proteins in the body.

Next door to my office, which is mostly closed but we have a couple of key personnel because we do (in part) an essential service, they are a fulfillment house for Amazon and they’ve loaded us up with protein powder and shake mix and vitamins. I am not 100% certain on the quality of the product (probably synthetics, not ideal but we’re not in dire straits at the moment so I enjoy it regardless) in the mornings we mix up some chocolate flavored protein shakes and take a healthy dose of vitamins C, D, B complex (separate pills).

Reminder to self: ask the neighbor about Zinc and/or Copper supplements.

When Bammy got elected, I went hardcore with prepping. I have ten 5-gallon food grade buckets filled with dried beans, dried soup, flour, sugar, rice, couscous, soup base, jerky, powdered eggs and milk, etc. I put the items into Mylar bags with nitrogen packs, heat sealed them and snapped on the gamma lids. Should be good for 25 years.

I also splurged on cases of canned bacon, beef, shelf stable butter and cheese and canned brown bread. I also bought 3 months worth of dehydrated food supplemented with wheat gluten . My long-term pantry is busting at the seams with foods we eat all the time.

If the power goes out we have a rocket stove, thermal cooker and solar oven. The water barrel is awesome for providing water to flush toilets and to water the garden. Also bought a water filtration system.
