Something I have noticed are all the medical buildings being built and no new business other than small coffee shops and gift shops. If you go to town in the morning during the week, the walk-in clinics, doctor offices, specialty places, cancer center parking lots are overflowing with parking in the street. Maybe, this all happened after covid, but I think there are more sick and old people than there are healthy.
We had a yard sale a couple weeks back and I watched the people and some kids looked like maybe mental problems, a couple walked odd like their legs or feet were not right, some overweight. Overweight adults and some stick thin and very fragile looking. One woman came with oxygen, but what got my attention were the group of 4 Mexican men. They were strong and healthy. They were either family or friends. They always are in groups like that. The men will come in the grocery store in groups. They do not buy chips and snack food. They buy a lot of vegetables and grain in big sacks. They buy ingredients that you have to cook from scratch.
I have also noticed people in the grocery store that are speaking other languages and I look in their carts and the same. they are buying food to cook from scratch. They look so different than other people in the grocery store.

I'm thinking about giving away 2 years of top quality storage food. The trick is to find someone to pick it up. It will take at least a box truck or quite a few trips with a pickup.
I've written down some numbers of churches with food giveaways but so far havnt called anybody.

Well, I hope they have lots of condiments. Folks, stock up now.

HDR. Humanitarian daily rations. We stock a couple cases of them for car bags etc.
They are vegetarian.
Mostly bland...but some Franks HS makes them better.
Advantage is they are ready to eat out of the package...no water required...so they are heavy.
They provide a full days calories not just 1 meal.
Variety case is a variation on the rice an beans theme.
Dessert was an actual pop tart sealed in another salmon colored packet.
Funny fact.. The packages are salmon colored because the original ones were a bright yellow....same color as Bomblet markers....We'd drop original HDR by the cases and everyone would stay 20 yards away from them.

He mentioned that, but said "more likely in 2027" because he said that is the date the CBD will be fully implemented as the Currency replacement for the dollar (and all other currencies, probably).
That "2027" keeps coming up.

Mre type rations should be stored in temp controlled environments, if not they can spoil far sooner than you would like...the cold weather freezed dried ones, would be a better choice.

What I noticed in Amazon was a lot of really bad reviews about the condition of the food, moldy, leaking, stored too hot too long, there is a time/temp marker on the case. Some suppliers may be better. Seems to be surplus merch.

And a lot of complaints about no variety in the menus, which are vegetarian.

Ducks do not like eggs. Geese are even fussier (we have 3 as pets). But the dogs like them, one only wants them cooked, sissy dog!

Can’t argue with his suggestion for two years of food. For me that would be a minimum.

It's one year for me. I'm done with multiple years, but that's just what I'm doing.
I also live in the middle of farm country, now. I have access to a lot more resources than I did.

Americans….particularly US citizens, engage in much and take much societal normalcy for granted that is not evidence of being God’s people.
This is a result of deception on a scale unprecedented.
I would say a little research would do the “body” good….but, at this point…..it’s apparently going to take a LOT.
Look into the meaning of the Greek word from which “church” was translated, in the New Testament.
Then get back with me.
In other news, always glad to know that I am striking nerves in the consciences of good thinking men.
You and tnPhil immediately come to mind….and that is NOT snark or sarcasm.
I knew a few people with cans and "1" can opener. And if that 1 can opener had broken or become dull they had no way to open all of their cans.
People for the most part use electric openers these days. LOL. One of the reasons I don't is that it taught me to always keep more than one can opener on hand for whatever reason.

If things get so bad that the only food is what people have stored, violence will kill a fair amount of the population.
Location will then mean a lot when it comes to your survival, no matter how much food you have on-hand. If violence comes to your place chances are you will be done for. Very few houses can be defended. Bullets can come in through all the walls to kill the people inside or destroy irreplaceable items that are vital to your survival. Can you even survive if all your windows get shot out?
Personally I think violence will be the big killer and not lack of food.
Yes we store food but I also know our house would be toast if we were ever attacked. I do store clear vinyl to cover broken windows but that certainly is only a make-shift fix. I also store a lot of building materials so I could seal up the large broken windows and leave much smaller openings for windows.
We live in the middle of nowhere but it would be silly to think violence would never come here. It would be almost impossible to protect any house from destruction. Plus livestock could be killed, gardens raided or destroyed.
Survival will not be hard, it will be almost impossible.

Not gonna list my preps but we live in middle of cattle, elk, mule deer and grouse country, really really close to the Bob Marshal Wilderness and every member of my family with skills, with more traps and snares than we can run and horses to traverse the mountains with. No worries. If it gets to the point that none of that will work then we been nuked already.

Remember, our Founding Doucuments say that, when it gets that, bad, I get to water that Tree!
That door swings both ways baby, and I've been called everything but a White Woman by this so called government.
How it usually works is, if your just fine with going Home, you'll be one of the ones left standing when it's over. No large groups here. Just very good neighbors willing or stupid enough to run to the sound of the guns and not away from them.

You then need to feed them to the dogs then or force feed them till their so fat they can't even waddle, then bake them in bacon greese.
I love poached duck eggs and toast. One can not eat a better poached egg, than duck eggs. We just had two hens and one drake for a few years and the one to three duck eggs a week was plenty for me and dogs. Want to get some more ducks. On my short list.
Hope you can find some duck layers.

Found this, and it's how I do it, but never re-heated them. Also didn't use vinegar and never had problems poaching them, just like in this recipe.....

One of my prep "barter" items is can openers. I went for around 2 years buying every hand can opener I saw at yard sales, thrift stores, etc., I have a laundry basket full of them, individually zip lock bagged. There might come a time I could trade one for a goat or something useful!
Again, I would like to think that most who prep are considering and planning for all aspects of preparedness, but it sounds like maybe quite a few are not. Truth is, even a few months of food is better than what most will have when things go south. While there are challenges to prepping, it isn't rocket science, and it isn't impossible.
It makes me sad that every time we have a thread about stocking food, so many jump on to tell us all what a waste of time it is, or how difficult it is, or all the reasons why it isn't worth the bother, or will end in failure, etc. I think a lot more people would be prepared if those in the "prepper" community would stop going on and on about how futile the effort is. It scares people off before they even try.

There's not a can of food I could not open with just a sharp screwdriver or similar and a hammer or rock. Even a metal building, most are made out of 24 gauge or thinner. With a pic ax, chisel of some sort or screw driver, or even a heavy duty butter knife. Might take me a few minutes but with tinsnips there's no stopping me from gaining entry to a metal building or can!
Just the other day, had a old all metal paint can and the lid was fused on. In 6 seconds I used a small pic ax. Thumped a nice hole in the top with one blow. Then punched a breathing hole with screw driver. Poured paint into another bucket and used it up.

They are vegetarian - made to feed any religion or ethnic group I suppose. Cheap enough. There's 5 complete days worth per case. Peas in tomato sauce, lentil stew, beans and rice - plus crackers and such. 2200 calories each - it would fill the hole in your gut and a lot better than nothing, but probably the same stuff the Palestinians were bitching about in Gaza.

I believe in the beginning stages of many collapse scenarios there will be a buffer time where relief organizations will be running, whether it is local food banks, churches, etc. During this time it is not only important to hit up every one of these opportunities to add to your pantry, but more importantly it is good to be SEEN hitting up these places. Show your neighbors you’re in the same boat as them. Plan with them in ways to stretch out your food. Complain with them every step of the way that the government needs to do more.
Because if your neighbors are struggling and know you are sitting with a full pantry, then they will be spending every moment plotting a way to get your stash. Im not worried so much about gangs from the next city over, or thugs from a self-formed authority group, as much as Danny and Stacy next door who come over to hang out with beers in the garage and participate in book clubs with the wife. They may not have the means to take your stuff, but think that if they report you to someone who can, they will receive a portion of the bounty. Desperate neighbors are the best intel source for marauders.

Pride comes before the fall.....Pride month ended.
I'd say from 3.5 to 7 is more accurate, according to my understanding of this Great Tribulation we are on the cusp of.
Lots of good pertinent info on this thread, concerning other similar issues. Food, friends and fortresses.

The new 5G network, God, guns n grub, guys n gals.
I suspect the semi hard, semi soft fall to occur around the election time. The evil one's are being exposed bigly. Voting fraud will not be accepted, and it will be exposed, just like last time. A few years of bad ju ju, then very serious bad ju ju will hit. No idea as to the actual events or timelines, but knowing the event will happen soon enough, is enough.
But then again, look at all the Christians murdered by muslims in the last twenty years.......and all the muslims killed by Americans in that same time period. So many needless deaths, knowing a couple billion are prophesied to die in the days ahead.
Yikes, whenever I think of cause and effect, I say buy more food.

The amount of time one will be dealing with food shortages, or food being unavailable and one has to resort to shoe leather or bark, etc. It's a reference to the Tribulation being seven years, with it really falling off the cliff the last half.
Shoe leather, which is not near as plentiful as back in the last Great Depression, consider that in your planning..........semi sarcastic here, like ten percent...ish.
You can burn the rubber soles for heat, so that's a plus......

You need to spend time in parts of rural Asia to get the taste for dog. Helps if you're already lit on San Miguel beer, because that stuff will make you do things you'd never do if you could think about it. Like eat balut, Filipino fermented chicken eggs and think the feathers tickle instead of triggering your barf reflex.Yeah, hungry enough, I might consider even eating TVP with Zombie meat. Draw the line though with TVP and dog meat, never!!

The old rule of thumb was 500 lbs of mostly dry foods per person per year.
Rice, flour(or wheat), and dry beans take up little room. Then just add the food items that you use with your main food items- sugar, oils, spices, etc.
Stacked to the ceiling a common closet should hold a year's food for 2 people.

THat timeline is an assumption. I think Trump ruined all the timelines with what he did. IF he gets back in, I suspect the timeline will be even more ruined. Hard to implement a NWO when all the world keeps firing your lackeys...

If things fall apart to the point of needing two years of food, you're not gonna live long enough, or stay in the same place long enough, to be able to eat all that stored food.

Perhaps. But within the first 3 months there will be massive die offs. 3 months after that there will be roving gang issues. 6 months after that better get a good place to grow stuff by hand and be without power...
