Trying to get my prepping together in high gear.
Have maybe 1 month worth of food, which i don't think is enough.
Good sources of where to buy canned meat, other sources for prepping food? Tricks to keep costs down? Any other prepping tricks or advice is also welcomed.
I believe this is pretty important for all of us right now. The World Faggot Forum has warned of "big" things coming soon before Nov, which we all knew.
Guns, bullets and more bullets.
Medical supplies: I know someone who works in a hospital. (me)
Radio, flash lights and batteries
Generator, extension cords and half dozen 5 gallons cans of gasoline: keep the food in your freezer from going bad.
Stock pile flour, sugar: I repacked mine in mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. I have had flour and sugar stored in mylar since Obama was in office. I opened a bag the other day and it was fresh as new. This is how they offer you 25 year shelf emergency food.
Bottled water: or you can get something called a water bob, it goes in your bathtub, it is a 100 gallon bag you can fill up, it comes with a pump to pump the water out.
Places like Costco sells canned chicken, you can get 6 cans wrapped in plastic for a decent price. I had some that were expiring soon, the wife has been feeding it to the stray cats in the neighborhood.
I also stocked up on 25 year shelf life food from the site below.

I got some of the basic stuff I knew my kids would eat. If you buy the bundles, it seems like you get a bunch of stuff you would never use.
I have tried these, the flavor is not bad.
Homestyle Potato Soup
Spaghetti
Honey Wheat Bread
Buttermilk Pancake
Mashed Potatoes
Creamy Chicken Flavored Rice
Creamy Stroganoff
Mac & Cheese Case
Last night I water bathed 10 quarts of salsa. Few days ago I water bather 5 quarts of dill pickles and 10 pints of sweet pickles. I cut the sweet pickles into thick chunks and added a little cayenne pepper, onions and peppers to give them a kick, they are so delicious.
I still have tomato sauce and spaghetti sauce that I canned from last year.
I have about 20 zucchini in my garage, I will start making blueberry walnut zucchini bread soon, I usually make like 20 loaves and freeze them.
I will pick my carrots and beets soon, peel, dice and freeze. Freeze them on a cookie sheet and then bag them, keeps them from sticking together.
I cut down all my kale few weeks ago, washed and crammed the leaves really tight into gallon size bags, prevents freezer burn. I cut off a piece and put it in my smoothies.
I make apple butter and apple pie filling from my apple trees.
I planted 2 more apple this year along with 2 peach trees, 2 blue berry bushes and a cherry tree. They are doing well, hoping they make it through the winter.
My corn is still not ready yet, I am hoping i got them in the ground soon enough. The first batch of corn I planted this year didn't come up, must have bought some bad seeds.
Been eating coleslaw from my cabbage plants, putting it in my smoothies as well. I have like 10 heads of cabbage this year. I don't remember planting that many.
I keep frozen sliced bread in the freezer. It will stay good for couple months, just rotate when you buy new.
Peanut Butter, jelly, noodles, dog and cat food, mayo, canned veggies.
I buy only chicken and beef that is vacuum packed, prevents freezer burn.
Frozen veggies.
I have 10 chickens also, they provide more eggs than I could ever eat. I am stocked up on 4 months worth of chicken food most of the time.
It takes a lot of work if you want to do it right and cover all the bases, good luck to ya!!!
Yea I have been prepping since 2017. My wife and I can our garden too. Pickles, salsa, tomato sauce, chili sauce, stewed tomatoes, corn, potatoes. Chop and deep freeze things like the onions and green peppers. Wife has one of those vacuum packers. I have tons of smoked salmon and make a lot of jerky. Last season I got a bear and jerkied the entire thing. My vanity project a few years ago was building my own smokehouse. Wish I had built a walk in freezer too but I have three freezers plus two refrigerator/freezers. I also have a generac that runs on propane with a dedicated 1500 gallon tank and because of my business about 30 150 pound tanks. We have multiple other generators, again because of my company, and a 400 gallon gas tank filled with rec fuel. And we have well water. I also put a hand pump in the pole barn to water my wifes animals. I have two woodburners in the house plus a real fireplace and two woodburners in the pole barn. Ive got shitloads of firewood plus chainsaws and axes but I also bought 500 pounds of anthracite coal and built a dripper to burn my used motor oil on one of the pole barn woodburners.
How do you keep your batteries fresh? Askin for a fren
