Have you thought about Survival Food ?

[GolfVenture]

Neighbor of mine is really into preparing for various disaster, and how one can be prepared. He shared about survival food that has a shelf life of up to 25 years.

 

Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or experience on this.

[Peder_y2k]

Ask any Mormon. Youtube also has a cadre of people who have posted about survival tactics. I'm too busy paying taxes to participate in the luxury of dreaming about survival methods and supplies.

Only that he shouldn't be blabing it around that he will have food in an emergency.

 

 

Unless of course he's going to share, voluntarily or not...

 

 

Which neighbor is it?

 

 

He better have the water also (amongst other things) see doomsday preppers

I had c-rations left over from viet nam when I was in the service in the late 70 and 80's. No thanks. Some OK some you wonder if its worth it. At least by the time we went to Iraq they had bought some new stuff.

[RedRider]

A neighbor with survival food is like a neighbor with a pickup. You get all the convenience with none of the hassle.

 

Unless his arsenal is bigger than yours. Then, you will starve.

Okay, Brian, you asked for it............

 

Your neighbor may possibly belong to the same cult that has many members in our area...the Ramtha School of Enlightenment. It is based in Yelm, WA., and they have a large membership base. One of the teaschings of this cult is to build an underground bunker on your property, and to fill it will survival provisions, so that "when" the proverbial stuff hits the fan, these people will be some of the only ones left standing. Another one of their teachings is to have a property that is at 500 foot elevation, or higher. For that reason, 50 % of the farms and ranches that are on the hill I live on...are owned by people from this cult.

 

My immediate next door neighbor is THEE architect for Intel corp, and he designs their buildings all around the world. Since he moved in, in late 2008, he has spent over 400,000 dollars on the brand new underground bunker in his back property. The large unit has 2 foot thick concrete walls, 2 foot thick concrete floor, and 2 foot thick concrete ceiling. It has over $ 60,000 of customized cabinets inside. The day they poured the concrete for this bunker, there were 18 concrete trucks that made deliveries that day...I counted them, as we live on a private road. Also...Linda Evans...from Dynasty tv show, was there to help pay for all the concrete, as she is a member of this cult. And Clint Eastwood was there with her, but he is not a member of the cult. He was just visiting Linda Evans. It was a fun day to watch your neighbors.

Guess, I must live a sheltered life. Your response was enjoyable to read...

Here in south Florida we prepare for Hurricanes. we keep a food & water supply for up to 3 weeks, including gas for the generators.

There are enough deer and rabbit around I'll be able to eat until the ammo is gone.

I'll have to admit that, I'm not very well prepared if the Pacific Northwest got hit with a huge earthquake that took out roads, bridges and railroads.

with Mother nature, there is no way to prepare for something like that. the best one can, do Is have an escape route ( if there is a way out )

[Trader]

most folks forget to add extra water and food for pets.

And of course cash....debit and credit probably won't be working.

Brian,

Preparing for disaster is always prudent. Generally there are 2 types:

1. Disasters which limit supplies while at home.

2. Disasters that displace you from your home.

 

I keep at leat a 3 month supply of food that is non perishable on hand at all time.

I also have an disaster supply "kit" as well as a bug out bag.

 

Here is just an guide.

I use WISE foods. they taste excellent, have a good calorie count, and excellent shelf life. they require only boiling water to prepare. that being said, I also have 25lb , sealed, containers of rolled oats, long grain rice, and variety bean mix. as far as canned goods go, most have a shelf life of 3 years or less, except SPAM, which has an indefinite life if stored properly. im single, but have a 2 year food and water supply. any questions PM me.

What's your address ?

[Miles]

While I am not really into the survivalist thing, I do believe in being prepared. Lunkily for me, I have a good sized piece of property, up on a hill, surrounded by other peop,le that are survivalists, and I have the worlds greatest private well, that I have bought a hand pump to mount on top of. I have a 500 gallon propane tank above ground, and a 5000 propane tank under ground. Almost every major applicane in my hosie can be run on propane. I have a 13k watt permanent stand-by generator, lots of animals I can kill and eat if I need to, and...a large arsenal to fend off strangers.

 

There has even been talk by some folsk on this hill that if it ever came to that, they would fall a couple large tress at the bottom of the hill, blocking access for any cars to come up...or down, and we would keep anyone that does not live up here away from all of us.

 

My wife and I figured we could live off what we have for at least 2 years, before needing to go rob our neighbors.

 

 

[Yammer Dan]

lots of animals I can kill and eat if I need to, and...a large arsenal to fend off strangers.

 

I got that part covered and live right on a river. Mushrooms are coming up now. The kind you eat without seeing things...

I have a pretty good supply of Mountain House, it has a very long shelf life and taste pretty good too. Just add water and let it set for a bit. Amazon or Karst Sports has it at a very good price.
