If you're worried about power failure for ten days then I recommend buying a $20 portable camping stove and three bottles of gas for about $1 each. Each bottle burns on high flame for about 80 minutes, so you'll be able to heat baked beans or cans of stew for a hot dinner.
Also buy some tea light candles, a torch and a small portable radio so you can listen to local broadcasts about what is happening. The cheapest tea lights burn for at least two hours, but you can get better quality, taller once that burn for eight hours.
If you're new to prepping, I'd recommend you buy cans of baked beans or stew or chili con carne, some canned vegetables like peas and carrots, ramen noodles, peanut butter, milk powder, breakfast cereal, instant coffee. Instant gravy with instant mashed potato with a pinch of white pepper and a slice of buttered bread makes for a quick meal too.
Rice is good, but you'll need to learn how to cook it using the camp stove. This is how I do it, but measurements will vary based on the size of your pot and if the lid has a steam hole and your stove: for one serving, combine 50g of dry rice with 100g of cold water in a pot. Cover, bring to the boil and immediately reduce the heat to VERY low (10%) for 16 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat but don't open the lid and allow it to finish absorbing the water for 20 mins and then break it up with a fork. Experiment a few times unlit you get the measurements right to there's no rice stuck to the bottom (you need more water) and it's not to mushy (you need less water). 16 minutes of flame might seem wasteful, but it's only at 10% lowest flame so it's the equivalent of less than 2 minutes.
I only mention rice because it stores well, can be cooked with very little gas and it'll bulk out most meats like canned stews and soups.
Ultimately, 95% of Americans could go on a 10 day fast with nothing but water and come out better for it.
People need fresh water. People need a way to regulate temperature, and some may require a way to generate electricity for a health condition. Other than that, cooked food is a far luxury.
Thanks for the tips. I recently bought a dehydrator. Now I'll actually try it out. The pineapple and onions sounds delish (not necessarily together). Good, solid info!
"raw food cookbook" Lol, oxymoron of the day! I used to "cook" for a lady who only ate raw food. I used to josh her that she was sure paying me a lot to make salad. On the bright side, there was never a crusty pan to scrub afterwards. Great, high info post, ton of great ideas. That one just made me giggle
Love mine. I buy (1kg) = 2lbs frozen vegetables x 4 each week but every 24 hours you could do this if you have none stored up. Peas & Corn. Peas. Beans. Carrots Mixed vegetables. Each tray will take around a pound. Spread right to edges. Takes around 6 hours up to 9 hours. I start around 10am. Then switch it off after vegetables are snap dry. Leave vegetables until next morning to dry completely. Have clean Ball Mason jars ready to go with lids and bands. I leave on counter and turn them often making sure vegetables don’t stick to jars - sign they are not dehydrated enough. You can put them back in. Peas will do this but most vegetables won’t stick after this time. Frees up freezer and amazing what they dehydrate down to. Soups are ok to throw dried by vegetables in but many dishes will require soaking to rehydrate. Use water that vegetables rehydrated in too
I LOVE dehydrated pineapple chunks. You can soak them in honey water before you dehydrate them, they taste just like candy.
Honey water!?...😋
yellow onions, dehydrate them in one layer about quarter to half inch thick, and when you dehydrate them, something magical happens and they mellow out in flavor and taste soooo gooood especially with honey or cheese.
😲
Reading your entire post made me feel like a McMahon reaction meme.
I used to be an all-raw foodist for like 7 years, kek.
I love raw food. The most impressive thing I saw was a raw food burger made out of sunflower seeds.
It was presented to me as a "raw burger" and it looked like raw meat, so it threw my mind for a minute. 😆😆😆 Once I dug in and saw it was sunflowers, I ate the whole thing. It was really tasty. (inb4 'dat culd nevr taste liek meet') It doesn't, its not supposed to, it's just a fun presentation (like a carrot cake shaped like a carrot).
The zucchini pasta with tomatoes is excellent as well. We're going to have to talk raw food sometime.
😱 Whoa. I had no clue. I just ate the stuff when the raw food people were around.
You just have to remember when you're fasting or eating raw, that if you don't get enough cholesterol in your diet, your body will cannibalize it's own cholesterol. And it will slowly eat away at you. So it's not good to do long-term.
I did keto and IF, so that's not a problem. The craziest thing on keto (besides the mental clarity and the fast body adaptation) was how sensitive I became to the garbage in food.
For example, as a kid, my mom had us on a strict health food diet. I remember eating Fruity Pebbles for the first time and it leaving a light burn in my mouth. Similar to a hot sauce burn, but it definitely had more of a chemical taste and feel to it. I was a kid so it didn't stop me. Never felt it again.
When I went keto for over a year, my body purged itself of all that crap in my body. So when i went back to eating whatever, I picked up a Fruity Pebbles white chocolate bar and I experienced the same burn from when I was a kid. I completely forgot this memory for decades. Thats when the light went on, and my feelings met the data.
Agreed, however a portable gas stove only costs $20 and the gas is super-cheap... so you've got nothing to lose by providing your family with a hot meal during a power outage.
You similarly don't need tea lights at night, however a hot meal and candle lit discussions with your family help their mental health far more than eating cold soup and sitting in the dark.
I bought a small set of iPod speakers and I have an iPod in my kit that is full of classic short stories and Coast To Coast episodes that my kids would love. I've also got several types of solar and manual chargers for them too.
Even if we have ten days of darkness or much longer, I'll maintain structure for the kids and the family will have a hot chocolate and a candlelit story-time each evening before bed.
Proper nutrition mandates you consume food. Your body will slow down its functions and metabolism, which has many effects.
Yes, there is evidence that controlled fasting is good... But we also have proof that long term fasting causes Muslims to go on a Ramadan killing spree.
Your metabolism is important. It's not just about how fast you digest food. You need a good metabolism for many bodily functions, and if you slow that down you weaken yourself.
Additionally, your brain needs glucose. You can get it from gluconeogenesis via protein, but you need to actually consume that protein. Without this, your mental acuity will drop as will your energy levels.
Further, there is no point to weakening your bones and muscles by missing vital vitamins.
Basic biology is not hard to grasp or understand. You need food. You would not "come out better for it" on a water-exclusive 10 day fast. You may not even lose as much weight as you think, if that's what you're implying, because only undereducated silly people still think that weight loss is as simple as calories in vs calories out -- your metabolism is very important for this, and if your body goes into starvation mode then you are not efficiently losing weight.
Finally, you need carbs, protein and calories to build muscle. Without those, you will not build.
At least stock up on good quality meal replacement bars too. They're packed full of stuff, and are better for you than canned food for every meal.
TL;DR: There is basically no way most people come out of a 10 day water only fast better than before.
You cannot. Two days without electricity will see you loose all. If you have stocked your freezer you need to think about converting your protein to another form. Ie canned or dehydrated. Or buy a generator that uses gasoline.
My parents have discussed getting a generator but haven’t done so. I’ve asked my dad to watch for a CB radio but I’m not entirely sure what all is needed for survival mode. I’ve seen people mention matches and the CB radio, and stock up on dry/dehydrated meals. As a millennial I will admit I have zero clue where to start if our current society goes into dark times.
My only concern with a generator is that they are noisy. If we go into a situation where it’s every man for himself (and I don’t think we will, but…..) there are some Agrade predators out there. Even friends can turn nasty if their little ones are without food and they know you have food. What a generator does is draw attention to what you have. It tells a person that you have obtained this to continue feeding your family. Which = food. If you can get it and I’m not sure, you would be better to get the long life meals - Wise I think they are called in America. https://wisefoodstorage.com/ Expensive, but so are generators. They have a myriad of sizes and family needs. But if you do get them, you tell no one. In a dire situation unfortunately it’s everyone for himself. Protecting yourself - to protect your children or parents, will be paramount. Prepper forums will give you tips about this. It’s hard, but you as the protector will step into different shoes that society now dictates. Yes, TODAY we share, but TOMORROW we protect. You cannot help your whole street. Otherwise it takes the food out of a loved ones mouth. And the worse thing? One these neighbours, friends take everything from you, they’ll move onto their next victims. Remember the toilet paper situation?? It would be this x 1000.
Get yourself onto a prepping forum. I’m in Australia but I can see there a preppers here. Ask here. Just immerse yourself to start with and take notes. Get a folder together for quick reference. What you can do is start making copies of important documents. And if you have pets, take a picture of them and you together close up. Especially identifying features. Why? Animals will get separated and having a pic of you and them will help if someone tries to steal them. Keep a couple of laminated copies secured safely with different family members. Make sure you have spare leads, muzzles etc. The last thing you want to do is go into a camp for displaced people as animals are not allowed usually. Best if you have a pet to be prepared to camp out. Portable/collapsible water/food containers. Copies of their shots, medical issues etc. and a tethering rope and a jacket rather than a collar and as in a grim situation they will slip a collar.
Peanut butter
Whole wheat crackers (sealed)
Trail mix and nuts (unsalted)
Healthy cereals
Granola bars and meal replacement bars
Canned meats (tuna, chicken, salmon)*
Canned beans and vegetables*
Sports drinks
Canned soups and chili*
Powdered milk*
Herbs, spices, salt, and pepper
All-purpose multivitamins
If you have to leave in a hurry - ditch the cans for zip loc bags - don’t scrimp on these. Cans can get heavy. Forgot can opener? Turn opening upside down and use a rock or concrete to rub can constantly. This will break the seal.
There is sooooo much and many areas. Like. If my area got too dangerous to stay, where would I go? On foot? By bike? By car? Get Local maps of your area to avoid highly populated areas to get to a safe area. This might mean trekking off highly trafficked roads to a back road. If power is down, using rail lines AT NIGHT while you sleep during day to travel will cut out hills etc. Forums will give scenarios of when to stay or leave. The trick is when do you GO? Well meaning friends might want you to stay but it might cost you an injury or your life. In a serious situation you cannot and should not rely on electricity or internet. Even phone coverage. Get yourself on a forum. They’ll have different areas to glean info from, ie, radios. Best bug out bags. Amount of food for each family member. Food lists. What to do with human waste if toilets don’t flush. I’d be hitting the garage sales. You can pick up the best stuff for next to nothing. God Bless!
Make a list. Divide it into different areas, ie. MOST URGENT. FOOD. MEDS. PETS. WATER. FUEL. etc. Visit say, American Prepper and there are others and carefully glean for ideas. And don’t forget stores like Goodwill can be a treasure trove of supplies. Good luck.
Not true. I have an all meat deepfreezer in my shed. Last summer the power to the shed was out by accident for 5 days. The meat around the outside was thawed but cold. 70% was still frozen. All u have to do is power a freezer up for 5 hours, every 3 days. Ur meats will not spoil
Not in florida. Another southern state. Refroze immediately. I did check 5 packages for spoilage. Good to go all 5. NOTE: My stuff was powered off for 5 days, I DO NOT recommend anyone let it go that long if they can power up their freezer for a few hours a day
That's awesome. I neglected to disclaim my comment - it was intended mostly for people who live in cities because they'll be fucked if the power goes out for more than a week or two.
I have told my family members so many times to prepare to hunker down, I cant say it anymore, they laugh at me. But the good thing is they all are prepared to various extents and he stocked up extras, just in case. So hopefully it will all be okay.
Food wasn't really a problem for us down here during the winter weather modulated blizzard.
It was the lack of energy and running water. Shit was cold as hell and I couldn't even get consistent service on my phone so I was bored as hell most of that time. Keeping warm with extra clothing and blanket wasn't too bad.
I've learnt your family mocks you because you feverishly urge them every other week to join you in hiding under your bed with a copious supply of baked beans because you're absolutely sure that this time you're right and will be finally vindicated only to eventually crawl back out in utter embarrassment yet again.
If they're laughing to your face just Imagine what they say behind your back.
Yeah same with my dad, but now watching silver go up he is not sure whether to jump on the train or its too late. I told him this is nothing, but you know how it is.
Make sure your booby trap's booby traps are booby trapped. Emergency food stock ready. The entire works of Tolkien separated for reading during the light hours.
My boss's four tray freeze drier has been running 24 hours a day for three years. Y'all have fun with your honey rice...but freeze dried cheesecake is the shit.
KNOW HOW AND HAVE ON HAND multiple methods for water purification. Recommendations - Mini Sawyer, Berkey system, and bleach (know how to use it)
Stock up on pet food; medications; cash/coin; first aid supplies; bottled water; wet wipes; trash bags; Bic lighters; fuel; batteries; solar USB charger
Have a portable radio with shortwave bands.
Others recommended a camping stove. You can also order something on Amazon or at a restaurant supply store called a casette-feu. It is a butane powered burner you'll see at an omelette station - cheap to run.
Knowledge is the most important thing in a grid down situation. I recommend storing and/or printing a water purification guide; survival references specific for your AO; and a few books in PDF - Where There Is No Doctor, WTIN Dentist, and WTIN Veterinarian.
No true prepper uses Bic, get yourself Djeep or stick with matches. Bics and zippo leak fuel overtime and could be useless by the time you need them. Djeep also are the same size as duct tape so wrap them in a few layers for emergency
If you read the book of Q proofs you would know that 10 days, darkness already happened. Not saying it can’t happen again.. but it’s already been proven. It already came true. So it’s really just a huge misconception to keep expecting it will automatically happen again. Also it’s not 10 days of darkness. It was darkness that occurred 10 days after the post.
Lol! If 10 days of darkness already happened and none of us noticed except you, the way you decide to rationalize that is by claiming that WE are the ones NOT caught up on Q proofs?
Oh man sometimes you people crack me up inadvertently.
“Also it’s not 10 days of darkness. It was darkness that occurred 10 days after the post”
I guess you were too stupid to comprehend this. There is no 10 days “of” darkness. That was never said. 10 days after the original post that said 10 days. Darkness., there was a big power outage reported. Don’t remember exactly where. It’s in the book of Q proofs which is linked on the homepage of this website.
I missed the part where you proved my zero hedge article DIDNT emphasize that there was numerous irregularities, deleted chain of custody documemts, voter roll tampering, etc.. and that the audit wasn't able to fully to be completed due to lack of cooperation with the subpoenas.
And stop pretending you didn't resort to insults first. You're not being cute.
Yes double meanings exist but that doesn’t mean they should be assumed. It’s just kind of a pet peeve I have like when I see a lot of people ask wether or not “suicide weekend” is coming soon. The fact is that a suicide happened right in front of the White House a few weekends after the suicide weekend post. It was already predicted and it happened already. So while there may be one, it’s somewhat crazy to just assume there will be a suicide weekend in the future with many big names like some people speculate. The same logic can be applied to assuming 10 days of darkness is coming. It may, but it just as easily could not, since darkness already happened 10 days after the post as originally predicted.

Thank you! I'll try it.
OMG I wish you were my neighbour - you sound like a magician. My mouth is watering just reading that! Off to go google raw food cookbooks right now.
"raw food cookbook" Lol, oxymoron of the day! I used to "cook" for a lady who only ate raw food. I used to josh her that she was sure paying me a lot to make salad. On the bright side, there was never a crusty pan to scrub afterwards. Great, high info post, ton of great ideas. That one just made me giggle
Damn you I just ordered an Excalibur us-made food dehydrator after reading your post lol
Love mine. I buy (1kg) = 2lbs frozen vegetables x 4 each week but every 24 hours you could do this if you have none stored up. Peas & Corn. Peas. Beans. Carrots Mixed vegetables.

Did this too. Its fucking nuts.
Crazy keto power i got was being able to intensely smell bread in the room. 😆😆😆
That sucks. Super low carb is definitely the way to go if you can't swing keto.
A quick search shows a B12 and iron deficiency for melasma. So maybe for foods with those in it will help? (Disclaimer: Also not a doctor)

That sounds like fun. "We're going camping, kids!"
Not true. Survival is different than health.

I do a couple of 10 day water fasts and prayer every year. I will consume water, salt, coffee with a little cream, bone broth, and tea.
I spend that time reading the bible and praying. I can tell you I come out better every time.
salt, coffee, cream, bone broth and tea. That is not a 10 day water fast.
You apparently have been doing it incorrectly all these years. If I was scourging for food I would add certain tree leaves to hot water.
Bone broth people. This is a great way to use in different ways………which reminds me.
I plan to just take the goyim's food by force.
Rocket stoves

you don't even need gas.
What do you recommend for keeping your freezers cold?
But but but ... what if you live in the south?
Lmao
Smoking and salting food was the original preservative after all.
I don't rely on cold storage. I'd eat whatever is in the freezer first.
Keep them on the feather.
You cannot. Two days without electricity will see you loose all. If you have stocked your freezer you need to think about converting your protein to another form. Ie canned or dehydrated. Or buy a generator that uses gasoline.

Blech!
Been messing w my Zoom.stove
That's awesome. I neglected to disclaim my comment - it was intended mostly for people who live in cities because they'll be fucked if the power goes out for more than a week or two.
Makes sense. You got it goin on, fren.
Meh. Do you live in a state with semi-regular natural disasters, like FL? 10 days without power - easy peasy.
Would natural gas generators run in an event like this?
I have told my family members so many times to prepare to hunker down, I cant say it anymore, they laugh at me. But the good thing is they all are prepared to various extents and he stocked up extras, just in case. So hopefully it will all be okay.
all you have to do when they laugh is remind them of last February in the south
If it didn't affect them, they don't learn usually.

Ah, looks like I got myself a fan boy :)
Please, feel welcome to tag along behind me. You might inadvertantly learn something. God Bess.

If they're laughing to your face just Imagine what they say behind your back.
Can't resist me can you? Good puppy.
It will be 💕
My mom said the same thing when I told her to buy up some silver.
Yeah same with my dad, but now watching silver go up he is not sure whether to jump on the train or its too late. I told him this is nothing, but you know how it is.
Yes I have said it so many times now, because date fagging :).
I love rooftop tendie
Yeah she's one of the few on here with noticeably positive vibes.
Oh my... blushes I didn't see you there 😂
Aweeeee! You're seriously such a cutiepie :) heh and that's a rare thing when I only have your words to go by 😁💜
I can't! 😂
Bring the Rufus Teague BBQ sauce to the roof!
And Frank's!
Every time I see "darnkess", I just think it's Darkness with NK mixed up in the middle.
The code is supposed to be simple, right? Putin, Xi, and Kim?
Of all the Apus, undies-Apu is the one I'd least like to be stuck in a shelter with. I've seen him from behind. 😲
I feel shame for not seeing the Beavis & Butthead connection. 🙋
Boop!
Made a beer run, Imma good.
I am just waiting to find out what the hell "darnkess" is.
Roger, Roger! Haha!
Make sure your booby trap's booby traps are booby trapped. Emergency food stock ready. The entire works of Tolkien separated for reading during the light hours.
I identify as a roof korean.
I love this meme.

My boss's four tray freeze drier has been running 24 hours a day for three years. Y'all have fun with your honey rice...but freeze dried cheesecake is the shit.
Darkness can also mean no comms as in going dark, never thought there would be a planetary blackout
3 minutes w/o O2
3 days w/o H20
3 weeks w/o food
KNOW HOW AND HAVE ON HAND multiple methods for water purification. Recommendations - Mini Sawyer, Berkey system, and bleach (know how to use it)
Stock up on pet food; medications; cash/coin; first aid supplies; bottled water; wet wipes; trash bags; Bic lighters; fuel; batteries; solar USB charger
Have a portable radio with shortwave bands.
Others recommended a camping stove. You can also order something on Amazon or at a restaurant supply store called a casette-feu. It is a butane powered burner you'll see at an omelette station - cheap to run.
Knowledge is the most important thing in a grid down situation. I recommend storing and/or printing a water purification guide; survival references specific for your AO; and a few books in PDF - Where There Is No Doctor, WTIN Dentist, and WTIN Veterinarian.
No true prepper uses Bic, get yourself Djeep or stick with matches. Bics and zippo leak fuel overtime and could be useless by the time you need them. Djeep also are the same size as duct tape so wrap them in a few layers for emergency
KISS. No one knows what a Djeep is. I used them in the 80s. Great lighter. No true prepper doesn’t have a good flint set up and knows how to use it.
Why Koreans to the roof?
왜 한국사람이 옥상으로 가야되냐? 왜 가야된말이냐??!
asking for a 친구.
hahah. Yeah, NOW I remember.
<grins>
I'm partly Korean, you see. Specifically, my right elbow.

If you read the book of Q proofs you would know that 10 days, darkness already happened. Not saying it can’t happen again.. but it’s already been proven. It already came true. So it’s really just a huge misconception to keep expecting it will automatically happen again. Also it’s not 10 days of darkness. It was darkness that occurred 10 days after the post.
Lol! If 10 days of darkness already happened and none of us noticed except you, the way you decide to rationalize that is by claiming that WE are the ones NOT caught up on Q proofs?
Oh man sometimes you people crack me up inadvertently.
“Also it’s not 10 days of darkness. It was darkness that occurred 10 days after the post”
I guess you were too stupid to comprehend this. There is no 10 days “of” darkness. That was never said. 10 days after the original post that said 10 days. Darkness., there was a big power outage reported. Don’t remember exactly where. It’s in the book of Q proofs which is linked on the homepage of this website.
Yes I'm aware the post says "10 days. Darkness".
For a grown man, you sure seem to cry alot about a whole bunch of nothing.
Get proven wrong and resort to insults. That’s cool.
I missed the part where you proved my zero hedge article DIDNT emphasize that there was numerous irregularities, deleted chain of custody documemts, voter roll tampering, etc.. and that the audit wasn't able to fully to be completed due to lack of cooperation with the subpoenas.
And stop pretending you didn't resort to insults first. You're not being cute.
I love you rooftop, with all my froggy heart. There I said it! melts into a puddle
And just like this, suicide weekend already happened. Yet so many clueless people on here haven’t read the Q proofs. It explains it
I've thought this before.
Yes double meanings exist but that doesn’t mean they should be assumed. It’s just kind of a pet peeve I have like when I see a lot of people ask wether or not “suicide weekend” is coming soon. The fact is that a suicide happened right in front of the White House a few weekends after the suicide weekend post. It was already predicted and it happened already. So while there may be one, it’s somewhat crazy to just assume there will be a suicide weekend in the future with many big names like some people speculate. The same logic can be applied to assuming 10 days of darkness is coming. It may, but it just as easily could not, since darkness already happened 10 days after the post as originally predicted.
Some people love the abuse. Verbal masochism at its finest.
Let’s hope it’s not 3 days of darkness. https://taylormarshall.com/2020/05/406-three-days-darkness-real-bible-podcast.html
