SHTF Made Easy,Ep6 A & B Food Supply

[Pawnbroker00]

Continued, guns are therefore not worth it in human society since in the long term, as guns delay natural growth and estabilishment of a natural pecking order. Lack of firearms makes reconstruction much simpler and sensible. Which is why guns should be as illegal as in the UK. Guns cannot be fought against, no matter how many people you have. This is especially noteworthy with criminals.

[sailingmanuel]

@Pawnbroker00 Crime seems to have exploded in the UK when you outlawed guns. And it looks like your police have been taking away a lot of your rights away too. Here where I live I can concealed carry a hand gun and the bad guys know better than to rob someone here. And The government can't just roll over us because we could always fight back if we live under a tyranny. I know we see thing differently but I am going to hold on to my guns and will fight to keep them. Thanks for the comment.

[Pawnbroker00]

Think more about making food than keeping it. Your guns wont mean jack shit if there is nothing to defend, because in the long term, robbing and burgling is moronic in the long term of a SHTF scenario. This won't matter in the USA, since the legality level of guns will delay a pecking order being founded because you can just shoot at anyone who asserts authority, rather than being scared of their physical prowess.

And yes, Roman soldiers received salt as a percentage of their earnings. This was called Salarium (Latin for salt = sal). Salary. In fact, some believe that the word Soldier comes also from the Latin "Saldare", those who get salt (as part of their wages).

Salt is important. Some think gold and silver will be the base for all trade. IMHO, I believe barter of products and services will be more important; ammo and salt will most likely be the best currency, and they're still cheap. Get them now.

[Mile66]

Many preppers worry about the Na content of food, which is alright. What they often forget is to store salt, our bodies need it, and eventually all the processed food will be gone. If you're lucky enough to get some deer, which is usually much more that you can consume in about 3 days in a WROL, you want to store the rest for the long term. Salting and smoking are good for that. Smoke is not always an option, if trying to keep a low profile. Store salt. It will become currency as it has before.

[sailingmanuel]

@Mile66 Yeah I am a big fan of storing salt.

[siempresola77]

you need to think about nutrition... not that many people are... look up the vitamins... electrolytes... and the foods that contain the most water... you need a few bottles of salt substitute.. if the shyt really hits the fan... there will be very few sources of calcium and potassium, which are both needed for muscle contraction, and your heart is a muscle... just a lil fyi

[DengarTime]

The only thing is, if the periods more than a couple years, I hear the oil goes rancid after awhile, and considering the majority is in plastic? I cant see the supply lasting more than a few years tops... course, after then? its good for oil lamps, and kerosene heaters as an alternative fuel for them....

[sailingmanuel]

@DengarTime Still building my preps and I rotate my cooking oil with what we use everyday. Thanks for looking out for me buddy.

[DengarTime]

@sailingmanuel Glad to help, Ive started working on my own. I will try to remember updating when i test some used fryer oil in an oil lamp, Even regulars scented pretty strongly when its burnt. So, may want to test out some in the cheapest oil lamp you can find, see if the scents too much... nothing like being prepared. :)

[gpuckit]

i was in the army for 8 years, MRE's are good too have for bug-out, they come with all you need to eat a full meal. no water is needed too. i have six cases along with can goods and dry goods, but MRE's are the best if all your resorses are gone ie water, heat, salt, try some not bad

[sailingmanuel]

@gpuckit I plan on getting a box of them sometime. Thanks for the comment.

[99bugout]

I will be laughing my ___ off when I see this guy humping the big sack of rice down the road when it hits the fan. And his pockets full of salt. too funny.. spend a little money and buy some MRE's

[ChevelleZombie]

nice vid dude!

[sailingmanuel]

@ChevelleZombie thanks buddy

[Capriel25]

Great post. As a suggestion, freeze flour and other grains for at least 72 hours to kill the eggs in the grains. This will kept you from eating a bag full of weevils when SHTF.

[sailingmanuel]

@Capriel25 great idea!! Thanks!

[dronespace]

Good selection of food, if there were a SHTF, I'd def stock up beforehand on tons of rice. Hell, I'd be like a sumo wrestler.

[sailingmanuel]

@dronespace Yeah that is what I was thinking those cats over there was all they ate for a long tome.

[boodrow24m]

Yeah everyone thinks I'm crazy for buying salt and sugar. I buy some every time I go to Wally World. Another thing to store is Mrs Dash, that make all those beans and rice taste great! Get some plastic storage containers for that flour and dry goods.

[sailingmanuel]

@boodrow24m Thanks buddy I am going to get some in a few weeks.

[trwsandford]

@boodrow24m +1 on the plastic storage bins, get the 5 or 10 gallon size.. any bigger and they get hard to move around

[isisncasey]

Rice, pasta, can foods, SALT & PEPPER, lard. Let's not forget powder milk and other powder drinks.

[sailingmanuel]

@isisncasey All good stuff buddy

[isisncasey]

Buy can foods including cases of Ensure and bulk rice, salt, pepper, seasonings.

[isisncasey]

Rice, pasta , salt and pepper is the staple for practically any meal for a family in SHTF.

[awsomeshot]

yeh MRE's arent bad. but there shelf life isnt even 10 years. You can prob still eat em after 4 years but I think thats there recommended shelf life. C rats and K rats from ww2/vietnam are probably still good haha

[sailingmanuel]

@awsomeshot that pretty cool

[awsomeshot]

@sailingmanuel I don't know that for a fact so if you come across vintage C/D/F or K rations prob dont wanna eat em.

[GMGvanS]

@awsomeshot You can still eat them, it just tastes likes the packaging in 10 years and the taste is a bit funky. lol

[awsomeshot]

@GMGvanS you can eat anything with enough tabaso sauce on it!

[DixiePrepper]

very informational, good job!

[sailingmanuel]

@DixiePrepper Thanks buddy

[TheSerb111]

I ate many a MRE while in the Marine Corps and they are not something that you would want to live on trust me

[sailingmanuel]

@TheSerb111 I tend to believe you guys who have been eating them. I would like to check one out for a goof but have them for my survival plans.

[awsomeshot]

@TheSerb111 amen

[FireArmsResQ]

Great Video man!

I'll have my video on "prepping" sometime next week.

I'm not going to survive for 45 years like some people I'm more prepared for earthquakes and crap like that.

[sailingmanuel]

@FireArmsResQ Can't wait to see it. I am don't want food for the 45 years, but I would not mind having enough ammo for the next 45 years. :{)

[kaihoosi1]

sprinkle some sugar on a turd? damn that sounds good LMAO

[sailingmanuel]

@kaihoosi1 You never know, when times get hard. lol,

[kaihoosi1]

@sailingmanuel just like Twinkies LOL

[sailingmanuel]

@kaihoosi1 mmmmm Twinkies.

[UrbanCombatSurvivor]

Good vid man. 5 gallon buckets for that stuff! Varmints are going to be a MASSIVE problem if there is a breakdown, and your food stores will quickly become their food stores if you haven't made provision for killing them, and protecting your food...

A cat, some traps, and everything in thick containers like 5 gallon buckets or rain barrels...

[UrbanCombatSurvivor]

@UrbanCombatSurvivor Another possibility..some of those varmints can become protein in your diet...just sayin

[sailingmanuel]

@UrbanCombatSurvivor My brother in law owns a pest control business called Hired Killers. I use to put out poison for the buggers. But when I had my little girl I stopped. I did not want her eating the stuff. I am going to over there soon and get some stuff for the little buggers. Because as it colder I think they will try and find some warm places.

[GUNeRAG]

Get some heavy duty contractor bags and duct tape to seal your big bags of staple foods, not an expert just seems like it would be low cost and effective.

[sailingmanuel]

@GUNeRAG Thanks man I will give it a try. Because I am all about preping on a budget.

[sailingmanuel]

@Msakaalbany Keep telling that story for all us don't make the same error. Because I was completely unaware of that fact and I can't be the only one.

[sailingmanuel]

@Msakaalbany Thanks man I was not aware of all of those pieces of information. I have to find the right kind of salt and get me some metal trash cans now. Thanks buddy for all the info.

[erm9173]

Chef Boyardee my favorite:)cold right out the can.

[sailingmanuel]

@erm9173 tasty

[CaptainBerz]

Cool man...

[sailingmanuel]

@CaptainBerz Thanks buddy
