I can basically live off of homebrewed liquor and frozen pizza for months (only actual life skill college taught me) but if the crap hits the fan, It'd be better to have some better sustenance. I always have at least a 7day emergency supply on the ready, but I'd want to hear from you guys which one would be better if stuff goes real for a couple months. Also, do those solar water boilers work ? I'm thinking of getting one.

Love my solar boilers, have 3, in Florida can boil in less than an hour even in winter.
Mountain is best IMO, but also very expensive. My Patriot Supply is not bad, supplemented with extra rices/pastas/freeze dried veggies. Lots of tuna for homemade tuna helper (also make with canned chicken/white meeat) both have long shelf life. Spam and Vienna Sausage have long shelf life. Powdered milk lasts forever, canned only about a year. Stock up on oatmeal packets, very filling and tastes good, I've been successful in vacume packing brown sugar +3 or more years. Simply Salad "pasta salad" keeps well and only need water and a couple tablespoons oil.
Buy a vacume packets, pays for itself over and over. Flour in sealed 5gal buckets for bread making and breading fresh caught fish. RED FEATHER canned butter and cheese.
Store LOT'S OF SEASONINGS. (Can't stress that enough)
If you thinking two months, get four. Don't forget paper goods and toiletries.
Plan on having to share unless you live alone on a mountain top or have your own island. The smell of food cooking will draw hungry critters a long ways. (Better to share than die or kill over it)
Thanks for the info. I already got some fall back sites and some friends to share the food with.
