Apply all or part as you see fit, but apply it; this is the essence of Freeper family at work!

You should have used it up or donated it by now. Turn-over is important in stored food. Alternate Thursday nights are storage food rotation nights. Some are good, some, they hate. But they eat. grin!

hehehe....well shucks...that's a given!
Gag. MRE. Meal, Ready to Eat. Three lies for the price of one. They were better than the previous field rations, I'll grant that.
We found a recipe for hard-tack and made some. It made me glad that I didn't serve in the Civil War. FYI, the last barrels of hard-tack from the Civil War were used during the Mexican wars. In what? 1912? Blech!

This reminds me of when my mom started in earnest doing food storage while I was growing up. TVP was the big thing back in the seventies. Textured Vegetable Protein. She bought enough TVP for a family of ten for a year!!! Lasts forever. Smells to high heaven. She made a meatloaf out of it the first night, we all took one bite, and wouldn't go near it after that. My dad is kinder, he ate a portion of it. No matter how she tried to disguise the stuff, we kids would always figure out what it was and not eat it. They finally threw away a 360 day supply of TVP. Moral of the story: Store what you eat, and eat what you store.
I'll leave that up to others. I don't have any idea what would constitute having enough guns and ammunition around. I don't own a gun (and I am a firm supporter of the 2nd amendment.) Just a personal choice.
If you have to ask, you don't have enough of either. Modern ammo should last > 50 years. It won't get any cheaper. Think of it as an investment.

Take a six or eight foot section of garden hose and stuff two cottontails in one end.
Cottontails? LOL! The ones running around our yard would be hard to catch and stuff into a hose.
Seriously, great information here. Thanks.
This is very important. My sister did a fire escape lesson with her kids (five under the age of seven.) Her oldest was took this very seriously, but she and her husband were very reassuring during the lesson. We don't want to scare the kids to death, but they need to know the basics as you said.
A quick web search will turn up dozens of designs.
