How much food do you have in storage in case of infrastucter breakdown?
Date: January 05, 2015 03:01AM

I have enough seeds to stretch me out to approximately 5 years if l was forced to ration out on a low calorie diet to survive. I have food and water covered. And unlike those folks saving cans of food, much of my food will be FRESH, and nearly all of it can be grown in a dark bunker/cave if need be.

Do you have food storage?

I personally don't think anything bad will happen because too many people will die, and the high level spirits will protect us from catastrophe imo. Can't do a cleansing of the Earth of tarnished souls either because the Earth is a school to learn, and many tarnished souls still are good people, alas, alittle lost, and besides, tarnished souls need to go somewhere to develop. The Earth is not going to end any time soon.

I just have a ton of bananas frozen. That's for every day use. Those won't last long ;-)

I would totally die!

I have maybe 10 lbs of bodyfat and virtually nothing in home storage for calories.

Future plans involve moving to a place where I can grow some of my own food.

But if TSHTF with guns and all I would still die. I am not a violent person except for intellectual things. I am totally violent when it comes to defending ideas that are well supported in the literature.

TSM, I don't sprout too often but I couldn't think of a more efficient way to survive an event. It's brilliant. Little packets of energy.

The problem is that l would likely encounter rough bullies who would take everything from me. Lots of violence and stealing would occur. I would have to go to a secret cave l know that is hidden and live there.

You misread it wrong. I mean to say that too many would die in an infrastructure crisis, so that event would not occur because it would be too disastrous.

I always wanted to do a long term fast so that would be a great opportunity to be forced into it.

You do not post what you have or if you have food storage, on the internet. You do not post that. That is like putting a map to where you live.

Read how Victoria Boutenko as a girl, survived in Russia when there was no food for 3 months, because of financial collapse..

How do you have water covered TSM?

I have a few bulk bags of seeds, but if the water supply stopped I wouldn't be able to sprout them... hmmmm... confused smiley

For water ...

Best filtration, IMO, check the specs.

Berkeys had manufacturing problems. I don't know whether those have been resolved or not.

Coconut cream, what is that?

Suez, thanks, good idea. I have an EVA filter [www.evolutionorganics.co.uk]
bit smaller but I guess I could use river water etc in that, in a pinch.

I very strongly believe that, in the coming collapse, those who are able to build communities and work together - abandoning their childish, apocalyptic fantasies - will have a much better chance of survival than any Prepper I have come across. Besides, what is "survival" even worth if you are encased in a concrete bunker for years, eating MRE's and drinking recycled piss water, living in a constant state of paranoia that someone will "take what's yours?" Not me, I would much rather live my last days actively doing meaningful work with people I love, creating a more beautiful world than the one we left behind; a world that is based on egalitarianism for all species and types of humans, a world built on cooperation, sustainability, simplicity, and freedom. You can keep your bunkers.

Lisa at first sign of anything coming, you fill that up and then you have 30 gallons of water. It is called..emergency bath water storage I think


It is important to know your neighbors, have meetings etc..

I would say the best bet for you guys would be to stock up on dried bulk foods from your coop. Raw or not, you may have to feed your whole neighborhood.

Before Hiroshima was dropped there was war going on,in Japan, shortages too and none lived in the country because the armies all raided their own people, of farms and food and if you were CAUGHT HOARDING you got executed in public. Many people were forced to move to the big cities. To work in factories for the war machine.

To me this would be a slow coming thing, creeping slowly. SO after here is no food available anywhere, you would have to grow your own. Or else.

You have to gauge how far you are from a major city and calculate how many days it would take a person to walk from the cities to you, because they are coming, lost wandering people looking for food to feed their kids.

By a wood fire copper still to distill water in large amounts and distill alcohol to barter with or to pay employees with. Think outside the box, have a stash of three months food supply. And if nothing happens, you can eat it.

RAW BULK COOP THINGS
That water bag for the bath.

Candles matches, a wood stove maybe..must have a wood stove in case of power outages. Winters are cold in some areas. And you can heat up pots and pans of water on top it for baths teas..

Things like hammers, axes, are ok too.

Go to the dollar store an buy things you can barter with- like shampoos, soap, perfumes, supplements, you don't want to be around in a lice outbreak etc..you can get permethrin online, it kills things like scabies, ticks fleas and
also diatomaceous earth..

When the illegal immigrants from Mexico were all pouring in last year, they all had lice you could see in their hair, the social workers said. Agents contracted scabies..you don't want scabies, trust me.

Iodine, raw kelp is good for that radiation thing, and for bartering..because if there is power outages nuclear plants will go putoot! You can order nuclear emergency iodine. Good for ten days. You will not uptake ,most radiation.

Alfalfa seeds, wheat berries, buy them in buckets that are guaranteed for ten years. You can be like Jesus and sprout bread and cook on rocks, unleavened.

My god when I have nothing to eat in my fridge, just for a day or two.. I panic, imagine a month.Two Three.

You can also get alcohol stoves to cook with, you fill them up with alcohol you will have distilled with that still. Burns clean. Blue flame. Put a ceramic pot on top and boom you have a space heater.

If you do not want to get that water bag for your bath, every time you drink bottled water, save the bottle, fill with tap water and store under your sink where there is free space. You will start collecting many bottles of tap water. Thats a cheap way.

Even for a night or two without water, you can use it for cleaning.

I have been without power for ten days we had a huge storm. I learned my lesson. All the trees came down not he roads and there were live wires everywhere. TEN DAYS. No water no heat no electricity. It was like that storm in the movie THE SHINING.

Had that happen here, too, but for 4 1/2 days. No plumbing either as the well and septic system run on electricity. Had the whole neighborhood to ourselves because after only one day all the neighbors vacated to motels!
