Sad.

The only good thing about doomsday fear porn, imo, is when people finally come to the conclusion that govt wont come rescue them.

I've considered several times in getting the prep foods packages, but most of it seems too fancy 3 meals a day stuff and pretty pricey. Stuff we don't usually eat anyway. In 'Nam I ate out of cans for 13 months and when lucky had the heat tabs or tiny bits of C4 to heat them up. Cold ham and lima beans sucked but Tabasco helped. The canned fruit was ok. I guess my idea of survival foods are too simplistic, all canned stuff like black beans, fish like mackeral and tuna, vegs, etc. But not knowing how long would have to survive, it's hard to determine how much to buy and store watching expiration dates. I do think it's something we all should consider though. The grocery shelves can empty damn fast in a crises...

Expiration dates in a sealed, non-dented can aren’t as important as we are being lead to believe. You might see some loss of flavor, but the viability lasts long after the product “expires”. In fact, many are “best by” dates which are not interchangeable with expiration dates. The EU had legislation to do away the best by dates in order to reduce waste. Farm to Fork they call it. Not sure if it was enacted or not..

Live the farmer lifestyle. My womenfolk can plenty of vegetables & make soups, etc

And we just put 400 lbs of pork in the freezer, so I think we’re good.

Got plenty of left over hog fat for bullet lube….

How long can you keep the freezer running if there's no power?

SPAM is your friend. Cheap and tasty protein. Well, maybe not overly tasty but it'll essentially never expire.

We keep some spam, 50# beans, 50# rice. But I believe it's gonna be the luck of the draw who's left standing. Like the Hendrix song "Castles Made of Sand", and a surprise attack killed him in his sleep. Whatever calamity befalls us, it's gonna come from left field. PAX

As long as you have the fuel or it

Salt the pork for 3 days or so, then smoke it, then refrigeration isn't needed.

Right.
We enjoy all the modern things, but all our preps require nothing external to maintain, all our prep methods are hand powered.

It depends on how much fuel you have for the generator.

Exactly.

 

[Texas_Lone_Ranger]

If you build a Gasifier, you would have unlimited fuel for the Generator by utilizing wood for fuel. But not many people realize that there is other options.

Oil changes would be a priority at that point.
