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.

Lots of good advice on Prepper web site. One recommendation I used some 15 years ago was a 5-gallon plastic bucket with tight-fitting lid. I filled 10 of then with staples (beans, rice, flour, etc.) all of which I had vacuum-sealed. Then put a cube of dry ice in the bucket and sealed it. The dry ice deletes the oxygen and moisture and leaves behind inert gas. I opened one container this week as a test: everything was good, like fresh. I made sourdough bread and used some flour to make pepper gravy for biscuits also made from the bucket contents. Added dried beef strips to the gravy mix. Note, each bucket has a list of what's inside with simple recipes. Oh and the Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper were packed in there too. One bucket is food for one person for 15 days if you add game from your .22 excursions. Only thing that's wasn't so good was a pack of Marlboro Red non-filter cigarettes, pretty dry!
it's kinda bouzzshie, but if you use Boveda packs at whatever humidity you want they'll last up to a few years if you put enough of them in the bucket with the cigs. i could see myself charging 15 rounds per cig, post-boog.
