I explained to them over the phone that I owned an 501c3 (Non-Profit) that assists other 501c3's with disaster assistance. Pay for your supplies in cash. Be extremely careful in how much you buy at once. Just some friendly advise. BTW I have 2 years of food supply (Patriot Supply) Around five thousand dollars worth.

    Weight across the scale -- 14,000#.
    Cargo capacity -- about seven ton.
    .
    Our first modification was adding a 140-gallon 'saddle-tank', supplementing the factory 50-gallon, giving 190-gallons of diesel on the rig.
    .
    On the toy-hauler I fabricated on a similar commercial chassis, I mounted an additional 120-gallon fuel tank.
    .
    In theory, our range without re-fill is Anchorage-to-Acapulco.
    We prefer acquiring fuel on low-tax regions.

    May 2024 traveling through California, we saw diesel for us$7.12.9 a gallon.

    @tedwalford7615 26 днів тому

    Easy food preservation, for what you store in buckets: dry ice! What degrades food like rice, wheat, beans, nuts, pasta, etc. in buckets is oxygen. Small bugs or worms could also come out from hidden eggs. To protect contents, many will spend lots on "oxygen absorber" packets. But they're expensive, they take up space, and they're not reusable. What works instead is using dry ice, available at most supermarkets. First, in your clean, empty bucket, drop a quarter- to half-pound chunk into the bucket. Then pour all the beans, grains, or whatever in, as much as you want, right on top. (If the food came in plastic bags, it needs dumped out loose for this to work.) Now put the lid on slightly loosely, but NOT tight (or your tub will explode!). What happens now is that the dry ice sublimates and expands, turning into carbon dioxide gas. The expanding CO2 will, from the bottom, drive out almost all of the oxygen-contain air in the bucket through the crack you've left in the opening. In about four or five hours, confirm that no more air is escaping, and then seal the lid tightly the rest of the way. (If you subsequently notice any swelling in the container, crack the led for a second to release the pressure, and then reseal it.) Foods protected this way should keep safely for many years.

      The Mormon Church of latter-day saints LDS has approximately 100 locations in the united states that you can purchase food. Look up LDS Home Storage Center and see if you might be near one. They sell staple dehydrated foods. They are not pre-cooked. They carry several kinds of dried beans, rice, sugar, flour, wheat berries, potato flakes, macaroni, dehydrated onions, dehydrated carrots, dehydrated apple slices, and a few other items. All sealed up in the metal cans, they are rodent proof, pest-proof, and waterproof. Extremely reasonable shipping charges if you do not find a location near you. Most of the food items will last for 30 years. If you go to the store you can buy the individual cans, and almost every single item is $10 or less. If you mail order the items they will come 6 gallon cans to a case. these items are easy to store pretty much anywhere and will last a very long time. they also sell instant dried milk and a very good hot cocoa mix, both of these items are in mylar bags. I highly recommend it to everyone for stocking up. You do not have to be a Mormon and the people there are very happy to help you with your purchase.

    Love it. My huge concern is water. All of these food items require water to rehydrate. I guess saving on weight with the freeze dried foods will require you to use that saved weight for all of that water you'll need. Unless you are boondocking by a river.

      Agreed.
      Absurd, ridiculous minimums.
      We workkamp a small organic teaching farm near the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon.
      During a twelve-hour work-day, I can burn through 12,000 (twelve thousand) calories.
      This mandates nutrient-dense foods, instead of packaged GMO flavored with petroleum-based pesticides.
      .
      I also drink water by the gallon.
      Irregardless of weather, I aim to drink two gallons of water daily.
      .

    For all the food preppers out there. One question I always had before considering the options is what if your scenario plays out and it gets much worse months down the road? And the supplies you bought are depleted and there are none left hence the reason why you bought the original supplies early. Then what? Is it the reason that you extended your life a few months longer in this mess than others being the point in all this? Just posing it out there for any who has considered what life will be like when these supplies run out and things do not improve.

It meant that whatever else happened or didn't happen the family was not going to starve. My grand mother was born in 1907. There was no welfare or food banks, they had what they could grow or buy.
