What have done towards your prep?

Three weeks without food.

Well how long do you plan to prep for ?.

Are you prepping for a short term event, three or four weeks max, or a complete breakdown with no power, water, sewage disposal, empty shops and no sign of any improvement in the foreseeable future, yes when the excrement has really hit the fan.

So how old are you and what is your life expectancy ?, at our age we are NOT buying food with a 20+ year shelf life, If we were in our 40’s with a young family that would be different.

We keep 4-6 months food stocks which should outlast most events, stock rotation is important to keep control of use by dates, dry food, rice pasta flour cereal powdered milk etc no problem, tinned meats and vegetables dates checked every few months, given our circumstances we think it’s enough.

Then of course any food you can grow or forage is a bonus and if you can keep some chickens, eggs and meat.

It is up to each of us to decide what we think we need to do. But i’ve always thought if you take care of the basic needs, your covered for a range of events from financial with no money to food, hyper-inflation, super storms, social breakdown or isolation due to pandemic.
