Canned chicken and tuna too. And nuts, lots of nuts. Peanut butter and crackers. Cheap and last forever. Can feed yourself for months for a couple dollars. Ramen. Though its not good for you, really, when push comes to shove, its better than the alternative. Noodles, beans, rice. For fresh veges Rutabega lasts up to 5 years and my family loves it. Tastes a bit like cabbage but can be served like mashed potatoes. Butter. I have 100 lbs of this essential animal fat. Squash lasts up to 2 years.
For satisfying a sweet tooth I have the oats and honey granola both in bars and as crumble. Oatmeal both prepared and uncooked. Good source of energy. Bisquick. You can live on Bisquick indefinitely and its cheap and stores easily. I have 30 pounds of honey, raw and unfiltered. Raisins. Flour, sugar, yeast.
Get a dutch oven and a rack so you can bake on the fire. I have tons of the jiffy cornbread muffin mix. Pennys.
Water and a way to purify it. I dont own one of those water dispensers but Ive bought 30 of the big water jugs that go on them along with 5 and 1 gallon containers of water and cases and cases of bottled. Lifestraws and purification tabs. Coffee filters to filter lake and/or river water. (running water is best) Containers. Buckets to collect rain water.
Propane tanks for the grill. I have 5 150 lb tanks and a dozen or so 30 lb tanks.
I also have about 3 grand worth of MREs from mypatriotstore though I realize not everyone can afford this. Ive been buying for 4 years now.
Im ready for a siege. Ive got enough resources to keep the 5 in my household alive for a couple years with enough to spare for friends, family and neighbors lacking my foresight. I do have an advantage in my prep, I have a large house, three car garage and a polebarn for storage.
I have it all catalogued and dated for easy reference and rotating. All of it are things my family uses anyway.
It took awhile but this trucker convoy in Canada has helped me convince my extended family to stock up.
I've been able to find your address and just want you to know to expect me and my wife when our ~1-month food supply runs out; we greatly appreciate it :)
lol I hear that a lot from friends and family. And I say as long as you bring what you have and are willing to work hard to get more, cmon over.I have all kinds of PVC pipe and 6 mil plastic I use for work to build temp shelters.
Of course I was joking since I don't even know if you are in the U.S. :) Best to you! Unfortunately, of my 4 children, only one can be considered "based", so the others will be among the hoards scrambling for food if it came to that, and only one of those 3 lives close enough to easily seek shelter where we live.
Bisquick and Jiffy cornbread mix will both go rancid. Anything with oils goes rancid including butter unless it's dried or refrigerated. Hope you have thought about getting pantry moth traps, moths LOVE granola, oatmeal products. And don't think....I had cake mixes that were TOTALLY SEALED and invaded with moths. I filled up 3-30gallon garbage cans of stored food that went bad.

Rotflmao! I’m gonna leave the first few bodies at the end of my 230 yard driveway as a warning to other would-be looters.
milk and eggs are needed for preparing most preps , don't forget to add some powdered eggs and milk to the storehouse
60 laying hens suffice?

I got five chickens and 11 goats.
Wish my wife hadn’t named them all.
Today we are having baked Daisy. Yum
Not my first rodeo.
how was the 30 gallons separated 1 gallon sealed or 30 gallon mylar
Kristen last awhile, We just opened a 3 uear old bag.
The idea is you eat out of your stores on a regular basis.
Rotating stock as you add new supply.
