I'd rather eat pig snot.
Oh my goodness!!! This is so funny. I have no Spam in my food storage, but I did pick up some Vienna sausages today. Great to grind and make a sandwich out of or cut up and throw into chili.
A good 12 ga pump shotgun, with #2 or # 4 shot shells (50 count, can be good hunting weapon as well as personal defense) and at least a dozen slug shells, is first. Additionally, one should have at least one revolver, six-shot, .38 or higher caliber and no less than 50 rounds of ammo (300 is more like it though); alternately, a good condition 1911A .45 semi-auto and hydra shok ammo is good ... nothing like a flying saucer winging toward a perp! It never hurts to have on .22 rifle (in expensive and good for small people and small game) around. Learning how to shoot, clean and store these weapons is a must FOR EVERYONE in the household! Guns can be used to kill, but that should be YOUR discretion, not a perps.
Do you have any estimated costs of what the total monthly investment is to fund these purchases for General Storage and 72hr kit that you would be willing to share with us?
We should all think of it as self-insurance, instead of paying premiums we invest in a safety net of commodities and foods. Saved for a short winter storm that we hope never appears but we must prepared for...
Please add me to your 'ping' list for future useful posts such as this one. FReegards,
Isn't that what SPAM is???
Seriously, consider mixing SPAM, MREs, etc. with rice. Makes for a not-so-bad meal, and rice is CHEAP!
No Spam? Darn near sacrilegious! ;)
Small easy to use cans that will issue forth 4 to 6 portions of slightly salty but flavorful meat product (truth in advertising, that) fit for any time of the day.
They even do mixed flavors now in addition to the WWII original.
Got to have it. ;)
