Anyone store food?

[TheSaint]

I think im going to get a years supply for one person to start which should last the whole family 6 months. Ill add to it over time.

Doesnt take much of a disaster to empty the grocery shelves.

No, im not mormon.

[Cat]

no

I'd rather die then eat shitty food for 6 months by myself.

at least you would be doing your part

I don't store food but I have lots of guns. This will make getting food easy.

As someone who grew up with a grandma and dad that stored food this is what they did except the pasta.

If you are buying from the store just put the stuff in a empty closest. Vacuum seal the pasta's and put the bread in the freezer.

Dont know how the bread didnt become soggy after the freezer but it didnt.

Potatoes need a cool place and put lime on them. When you are ready to eat some just wash them.

i freeze bread all the time... works great.

lime on potatoes... interesting.

Think it is lime but cant remember. Would keep the potatoes for the whole year til next season. We canned alot of stuff when I was growing up. The only things we bought at the grocery store was stuff that we couldnt make or produce cheaper.

Acorns?

Acorns?

Humans cant eat acorns they make you sick. But we did have black walnuts and chestnuts. But the chestnuts started getting chinese worm disease. Black walnuts was good but a pain to crack and had a messy soft shell. I used to sit in the basement and crack nuts with my dad when I was a kid.

It's kind of useless to have all that food if you don't have any way to defend yourself against the zombies.

I started ammo storage long before food storage

Always good to be prepared... Welcome to the club...

I've started dehydrating my own foods and keeping a decent stock on canned/packaged foods with a longer shelf life... Anything in a can will virtually retain its nutritional value LONG after the printed "use by" or "sell by" date... It may not keep the flavor, but it keeps what you need for the most part... Hormel Chili, dried beans/fruits/vegetables, Spam, etc... I've not gotten into the canning process, yet... but I plan on doing so once I get my garden going this spring (which I also recommend anyone planning ahead do)...

Keep in mind that you can also stock up on other consumables that will be comforts should the shelves in the stores empty... stuff like toilet paper, matches and lighters, alcohol and cigarettes (even if you don't smoke or drink), and stuff like that will be more valuable in a worst case scenario than money will...

I get my food from a store, does that count?
