I've read countless prepping articles, I'm not sure I need another link to a prepping blog. I'm am more interested in knowing what my extremely smart anons are doing for prepping. An article might say I only need two weeks of food or 2 years of food, but realistically based on the political data gathered from this forum, is 3 months of food enough or too much? Is a couple cases of bullets enough or is more needed?
What prepping supplies and how much prepping supplies do YOU guys have considering that some food prepping makes sense but I doubt that things will be so bad that we need a years supply of food.
Thank you everyone!!! I'm just a worried father of 3 youngins trying to prep with a somewhat limited budget.
Also should I take out all my money from my bank and put it in a credit union or is it smarter to have it at my house because credit unions might not be accessible or might go under too?
I wouldn't bank on all frozen foods in case there's no electricity. Dried beans and rice are cheaper, and can go a long ways. Make sure you have a way to get clean water as well. Like a LifeProof straw or something similar at least one for each family member.
I wonder if they would still sprout? If you have any left, wrap a few in a damp paper towel and stick it in a sandwich bag for a few days. The sprouts are tasty and nutritious, and a nice fresh change from dried beans and rice.
Another idea for city / apartment folks.... buy a sprouting container and some seeds. They can sit right on your countertop and require no special lights. Pour a cup or 2 of water over them twice a day and in 3-4 days, you have fresh sprouts. Cheap, easy, no dirt, no lights.
Oh really? That's a bummer. I bought ours from an organic farm online. The reviews are really good, but I guess I should have tried eating some before putting them in the mylar bags and buckets. 🤦♀️
