exactly this is the point vs food storage
yes you can store (can/preserve) some of your production
but you need the ability to
PRODUCE food
before you worry about storage

You get what you pay for.
Not exactly. However, raw egg whites will bind biotin (an important B vitamin) so it can't be absorbed. An occasional raw egg won't hurt anything, but when we have lots of extras to use up, I scramble a couple dozen at a time and use them to extend their kibble for a couple of days.

Hello: Your family my have tested this milk substitute which I find just as tasty as pasturized whole cow's milk.
The product is "Morning Moos".
Please try it! You may be pleasantly surprised. It comes in #10 cans and big like 25lbs plastic tubs.
It is extremely popular and you need to search the internet for the best deals.
Just recently, there was a major price reduction which I was lucky to catch.
Amazon and Walmart are good places to start.
Good luck and enjoy.

Goats will always have food. The large land owners in my AO would love to feed my goats all of the weeds like poison sumac (that they love), and ivy. Many weeds they don't like, and only eat the grasses cows eat when that's all there is. But their browsers like deer.
Sure I could also feed them from the no man's dirt road banks. Where the county would welcome the goats efforts.
There's also ways to make chicken feed. Maggots are easy to grow and harvest. But the stinch of rotten zombies on top of the chicken coop may be a bit strong.

American culture of the last couple or three decades has produced a lazy, uneducated youth section of the populace.
They had/have no idea where their food comes from and now have even lost the will/knowledge to prepare it properly. Much less make it palatable. They have no inkling how to make a full dinner for $1-$2/person with raw ingredients-they just buy the unhealthy processed crap at inflated prices. People coming from other countries grew up understanding the basics better than the spoiled brats raised here.

The exceptions like us and others, stick out cooking from scratch. Even more that have severe food allergies/sensitivities have to cook from scratch as well.

Speaking of can openers, I have several. My mother had an electric can opener and I always swore I would never have one and I didn't. I'm just thinking maybe I was a little hard on her, oh well. Manual can openers back then were probably crap.
I can still open a can with a butcher knife and I still have the knife I use to use.

That mdight be true for most
I have been able to cook in a fireplace...since I was in elementary school...
Campfire no problem...
When I grew up we cooked....from scratch ..
no problem ...only way there was ..:-)

Yeah, most here are old enough to figure out multiple means to cook. If you have the basic knowledge of "how", it's easy to adapt to whatever heat source is available. But "common knowledge" is not only no longer common, but unheard-of, "quaint" and "old fashioned".

Rubbing the lid on concrete is safer than using a butchers knife and keeps your knife from getting tore up.

Good thread. The one thing I see missing except for a couple comments is water. Freeze dried food, long term food storage, MRE’s - just add water and heat it up. Water. Not just to reconstitute the packaged dry stuff. You can go a lot longer without food than without water.
Clean, potable water. If it all goes to heck? Will the utilities still be going? Water coming to your home needs electric pumps to begin and continue that journey.
The barrel or two of water may seem like a lot until you have to use some to flush toilets and wash up and make coffee. Check your water bill for the amount you use. It’s a lot. And then there is getting water from barrel to water filter and then to point of use. Don’t mean to detract but be aware, clean, potable water will be a big issue.

Not to mention stabbing or cutting yourself into an emergency situation.
I have a brand new wood oval cook stove with warming rack and water boiler sitting in the garage... they are no longer made..
when DH were first together we had friends here in VA... whose dad had lots of land in the blue ridge... we would walk in to an old chestnut cabin...they would carry my stock pot up the mountain for.me...I cooked for them all weekend and in the fireplace... those old ones sure could build fire place that could draw...best one I ever cooked..could pull the coals out and cook the the hearth ..

Not just mil folks... us old Boy Scouts were aware of them in the 1970s. I made sure that my wife and I have them on our keychains, with spares in "go" bags for cars.

I dunno guys (and gals). 2 years? Seriously???
Really not sure I can do that. I tend to save everything and would have a very hard time trying to decide what to throw out.

Loving this thread.
Just adding the obvious reminder that fats and proteins will be very valuable in any scenario. I recently picked up some more of the freeze dried Mountain House Breakfast Skillet. It’s expensive, but the grams of protein per serving, the taste, and the shelf life are all factors, too.

This guy (and several others) appear every 2-3-4 months on this forum with some sort of "doom is coming" and you need "this or that" .... usually, precious metals, ect ....
Listen, the talking heads have figured out what made Alex Jones (and others wealthy) .... preach doom, doom, doom .... always, always, and .... always!!!
Sure, dark days are ahead .... and sooner or later, these assclowns will be right on time with their predictions!
Lastly, Greg Hunter has built his YouTube audience off of these type of videos for 10 years now .... just like Sean from SGT report!
Disgusting!!!
Hey wait a minute, didn't Whitney Webb say just 2-3 months ago that we only have 3 months left???

Actually, for a year one needs about 800 pounds total of rice beans corn wheat - that will take care of calories. This can be packaged in 25 five gallon buckets or about two 55 gallon drums.

I call it doomer exhaustion.
Alex Jones was different as he actually did his research. His presentation was a hostile presentation that forced a reaction, good or bad.

Pressure Cooker. Get a good pressure cooker. I have prepared 20 year old Pinto beans (stored in closed but not airtight container). Took about 1 hour 20 minutes in pressure cooker. Came out fine.
There are many good units out there. I love my Fissler Vitaquick.

Beans done in Instapot are awesome and easy. No pre-soak.
I threw in raw cubed bacon and two pounds of dried white beans. I put in plenty of pork broth from a previous meal. Pressure cooked for 20 minutes. Let sit. Check. Bit more water, then another 15ish minutes. Done to perfection.

This may be true for newby preppers who don't have their sea legs under them yet but for those of us who have been at it for a few decades, this is not true at all.
We know exactly how far ahead we can store anything and expect to be able to keep it rotated and viable. Most canned/dry goods in your local grocery store have a pretty hefty shelf stable time line...coincidentally, many things are good two years out. About any factory or home canned item is good for much more than two years. If we don't lose power, we can extend the shelf life of most things to two years but I'm not assuming we will keep it so my preps don't depend on it. I rely on a lot of things that take minimal power to be ready to eat.

He is not a prepper or survivalist. Not his job. He is a financial expert, and future forecaster.

I lived a winter with a young lady on the islands in BC. She could make a super impressive meat sustitute burgers out of soybeans. Wish I had enough interest back then to have seen what she put in it. That was in my pre-pretty good cook stage. Hippies. Had some damn good food many of them did. Wasn't the usual casserole crap.

Hi Paul Bunyan,
Yes, we have tried it, way back when. And you are so right--it tastes really good.
Unfortunately, it is a milk alternative. The ingredients: Whey, creamer (coconut oil, corn syrup solids, sodium caseinate, dipotassium phosphate, sugar, mono and diglycerides, silicon dioxide, polysorbate 80, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, soy lecithin), nonfat dry milk, sugar, guar gum, vitamin A palmitate, silicon dioxide, vitamin D3.
Powdered milk is far more nutritious. It generally has more vitamins, though this varies significantly from one manufacturer to the next. (The whole milk powders sold on Amazon generally have zero in the way of vitamins.)
I really do appreciate your kindness in taking the time to make the suggestion. It's just not something I would be comfortable feeding my family.

A friend gave me a tin of her 55-year-old pinto beans to experiment on. They were stored in one of the old 4-gallon tins, in a hot garage or barn in the Nevada desert for 55 years, half that time being in Las Vegas. I pressured canned them in quart jars. They were perfectly soft and taste/d perfectly fine. I've still got a couple of pounds to use up.
Are you storing for an army? Or very bulky items?
