No survival food

[Cjr777]

Just for the hell of it I got on the wise and mountain house website..... Sold out of everything. I have a pretty good amount stored, but does anyone know of a company that still has some.

It's been this way for about a month. I remember the weekend in mid-February when I realized this was definitely going to get bad. I went and bought a few things. The very next week I tried to buy something else and they were all sold out. And so was every other store selling freeze dried "prepper" foods.

The last one to have food was food 4 patriots, I believe they are now out. You can check.

you do not need to buy the freeze dried stuff. Usually too expensive and out of stock now...Just get your rice, beans, noodles, canned meats, powdered milk, spices, coffee, tea, SPAM, honey, peanutbutter and jelly, salt&pepper, canned tomatoes, fruits, cooking oil or crisco, margarine if you can take it, anything you can still get. Then do not forget the soap, shampoo, TP, Q-tips, razorblades, toothpaste and brushes, female needs of course. Then look into First Aid things. Alcohol, bandaids, tape, compresses, baby powder/oil and maybe a burn kit. Sun-shade, vaseline, pain-killers and needed medications with lots of refills. Then look into the extra clothing, socks and underwear. Winter clothing and Work gloves. If you have weapons, ammo in bulk, BB guns with ammo, pellet gun with ammo. These are quiet for hunting and not being heard or shooting in the city without the cops coming. Find a way to make your location "not lived in". Paint the walls black and make it look burned out. Black out the windows, make the door a bit bullet proof, have a hiding place which IS bullet-proof, keep the food and ammo placed in different places if some gets stolen you will still have a smaller stash. Start watching movies in the internet and you-tube on prepping and getting a Bug-out-location (BOL) ready to use. Check your stuff regularly and stay ready. GP

my favorite surplus store has some foods still in this category, but they have been selling astronomical amounts of those items...

I’m really grateful I added a decent amount of the #10 cans from Walmart and amazon back in January. I’ve wasted lots of take home pay in my lifetime but will always consider this to be a good investment. Wish I had doubled the orders now... funny, I’ve never even tried any of these products. Still hoping I don’t have to....

I'm still able to get anything that I need. The only change at our local grocery store is they put a limit on some items. And they're out of TP.
Yesterday I told one of our egg customers that due to the current crisis that I was going to double the price of eggs. She still wanted 3 dozen a week. Of course I was just joking.

Eggs are hard to find these days, at least around here. You could probably triple the price and people would pay.

I told my wife the other day she better buy some eggs while she can. We eat a lot of eggs....

She bought 5 dozen.

Where I am here in in North Central Florida, I am literally surrounded by edible wildlife.

Everyone is panicking about food.

I have a field behind my house that's literally infested with gophers.

From what I understand (I know people who have eaten them after losing a bet), they taste like chicken . . . with a slightly earthy aftertaste.

I think only an idiot or a prima-donna could starve to death here.

Why all the panic?

 

[GaRp58]

Well Kevin that really depends on the relationship between: how fast you can catch and eat the gophers and how fast they can have sex and multiply....

Because there are more Prima Donna's than self reliant people. The sheeple bleat the loudest.The sheepdog stays silent and just gets along with life.

Or how many are competing against you for those same gophers.

UNPACK THE RAZOR WIRE BRENT!!! keep those lousy gopher meat loving trespassers out of your living refrigerator....

Lol. Seriously though, if this gets a lot worse the fish in ponds and wildlife populations will be wiped out in no time. There are just too many people to feed. I never considered hunting without a license before, but if hungry most wont care about that or wether the animal is being thinned out to the point of no recovery of populations.

If it really breaks down and it is WROL, then the urban area main menu item (after all the cats and dogs are gone) will be LONG PORK. Cities don't have lakes, streams and most don't have rivers running through them. Plus is will be too dangerous to be out fishing even if there is a river close. Hunting will be and have the same problems for urbanites.

Doc I keep backyard chickens and have had 2 people in the last couple days call and ask that if I have extra eggs if I would take their number and consider selling them some. Offered a premium price too! I generally do not sell eggs but I guess they are getting harder to come by.

That is one BIG advantage of the BOL over where I live now - It's a cornucopia of edible (and tasty) plants and animals and almost nobody for miles around to compete with over resources. And water that comes up out of the ground by itself in pipes from 1600 ft down.

But bugging out is pretty much an irreversible event reserved for only the direst of situations. I will basically have to write off my house because there is no way to defend it once I bug out, and it's in the middle of the city.

I agree.

There is an elderly couple who live two houses down from us (she is 81 years old, and he's 90), so we go to the grocery store for them to reduce their odds of getting exposed.

She only likes Publix brand large-curd cottage cheese. I found Breakstone small-curd cottage cheese . . . but she won't eat it . . . and complains to the PR department at Publix. She gets pissed off that she has to do without cottage cheese, as she can't get the "right kind".

My GF can be very much like this, and everybody gets irritated with me when I suggest that people should compromise and temporarily lower their expectations because of the circumstances, and this has caused some arguments.

I have this theory that people can become "picky" in a crisis, as they feel less in control . . . so they compensate by becoming overly picky about nonsensical, petty, and stupid issues . . . like the "correct" kind of cottage cheese.
