Hey, just wondering if you could recommend some good companies from which to buy food for long term storage, dehydrated food, etc. And if you have any particular foods within that brand that you'd like to recommend, please lay it on me. All help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It depends on how many days of food you want to prepare and how much you are willing to spend.
If you're only wanting to prepare for a week or two, a normal food that have incredibly long expiry dates such as these items will be cheap and fine and because they are everyday food, you can rotate them as you use them.
Have you considered how you'll heat the food and if you need water purification solutions?
Solutions will depend on how many days you are planning for.
I can give you advice on long term water purification, how to make hardtack that lasts forever (good for making stews) or how to hook up a camping cooker to a large BBQ gas tank so it lasts for about 70 hours of full flame cooking.
EDIT: Also be warned not to exclusively discuss prepping too much or you'll risk being permanently banned as a "one issue faggot". You'll need to discuss a range of different topics if you want your account not to be banned and all of your post and comment history purged.
Lol, thanks for that last warning. I do have some of the water cleaning tablets, but if you have a suggestion for that, please do share. And I have seen videos of people making rocket stoves with cinder blocks. Pretty easy and cool. Again, anything you'd like to share is appreciated. Thanks, fren.
I wrote this a while ago and it's full of useful information that is practical rather than theory. You'll find info about water purification strategies in this link. Feel free to ask any questions if you are seeking more advanced info. This link is intended not to scare away anyone just starting to learn about prepping.
The only change I would have made to that original post would be to warn that baseball bats are almost useless as a weapon for home protection because there are few places in most homes where you can swing them. A hammer is better if you can't purchase a real weapon (a gun). Squeamish people are also able to BONK violent home intruders until they become Care Bears and before they start gushing strawberry jam, whereas slicing up a birthday cake is not suitable for everyone.
Note that you can click on the JPG image links and they will expand and contract within the text body because the Voat was awesome.
What a great amount of information you provided in that link! Thank you. I'll be going through that and I may well have questions, though it seems like an exhaustive / complete list of needed items. Great info and much appreciated.
Be warned that I have now participated in a discussion criticizing Israel, so I may be permanently banned for being a "one topic faggot" and all of my prepper comments and posts will be culled to protect the tribe.
If this happens, you may need to PM me.
Once a month, my family have enjoy an evening when we turn off the lights and the air conditioner, light some candles and we all listen to an enjoyable classic story from my iPod speakers. If it's cold, we wrap ourselves in blankets and enjoy a mug of hot chocolate.
My sons love science fiction and last month we listened to "The Davros Mission", a Doctor Who short story that everyone loved. Afterwards we discussed the themes and historical references before bedtime. My kids loved it and it helped prepared them for the shock of martial law or civil war during power failures.
