RE: NT/Food/disaster preparedness list/information

[Guest guest]

i have not seen any lists and i don't normally eat grains but i'll tell you

(some of) what i've done.

i have bought some rice and beans for IN CASE. i will not eat them as part of my

normal diet but will if the rest of my food starts to look thin.

i have bought canned beef, pork, turkey, chicken, wild salmon, tuna, and other

seafood (for the rest of the family). we have canned veggies and fruit. we have

buckets of coconut oil, canned butter, evoo and regular olive oil. we also have

frozen meat, veggies and fruits and would eat those first if something were to

happen, concentrating on the meat.

i started a garden last year. not very successful but it's more than most people

will have. i'm raising rabbits in the basement for food for us and the dogs.

the frozen meat is grass-fed/pastured. the canned meat is mostly conventional,

with some all-natural or organic chicken. chicken is the only one i've found so

far that comes in a non-organic variety.

mredepot.com sells canned meats, butter and cheese. the meats are US meats

canned by an Amish company. they import the cheese and butter from new zealand

so i'm not sure about the confinement/diet for the animals.

NT/Food/disaster preparedness list/information

Friends,

Some friends of ours have been asking about disaster/food preparedness

steps they should take, and I was wondering if anyone had any lists,

resources, etc. that are WAP/NN/NT oriented (aka, a lot of preparedness

stuff I have seen include tons of garbage food).

Thanks

We normally have at least a year's worth of food in the pantry and

save our seeds from one year to the next. Should probably save seeds

for more than that so if one crop fails we'd have another chance the

following year.

Farmers in my VERY rural area are talking about measures they might

take to keep folks off their land. They mean both gov't " folks " and

hungry city people. Interesting listening. Many alternatives, bring

the animals in closer to the house, take them out into the back where

nobody thinks to look... I'm more concerned with making the solar

system a bit more efficient to keep our freezers running.
