I defiently have more meat than anything else. I have an entire elk, and two deer in the freezer right now. I may get bored of meat....but, at least I won't go hungry

Good question. Lots of rice, beans, peas, dehydrated food, freeze dried food, tuna, honey, four, salt, and on, and on. Quite a bit of water. I figure I have at least a six month (maybe a year with tight rationing) supply of food. Maybe 5 to 6 months of drinking water. My ammunition supplies would probably last a lot longer (well - as long as there was no zombie attack:eek:;))

Really? Why?

I have all kinds of game and fish. Lots of venison and salmon. As for drinking water I have some clean 5 gallon pails in the garage. Good enough.

We have a cold room with stocks of can food, home grown potatoes, jams of various kinds, bottled fiddle heads, flour, rice, and some water. We are ok in that department as we have a brook that is clean enough to drink running by the deck. We also have a spring that is our water supply anyway.

For drinking should a fresh water supply not be available. Although there are several military bases nearby, in reality, my biggest threat is probably from a weather related occurance. When it comes to preparing, more is better in my book. Look at a Katrina type incident. It may be several months or even years before things get back to normal. While that is all happening, I will be rebuilding my life with the knowledge that I won't have to rely on somebody, but rather may be able to help others in the process.

Amount wise, dog food and duck feed. For the two of us, pasta and canned veggies (20 cans of asparagus this winter!! now THAT is luxury).

Shocked that young wolf came up to the cabin like that. Proof that at least his sniffer is broken.

I'd have to say we stock more veggies than anything. I have quite a bit of canned meat and ready meals but we have a great supply of canned vegies. I like my powdered milk, too!

Yep - got a pretty good supply of veggies and powdered eggs from Honeyville (thanks for the link a while back Rick).

:o:o:o 12 to 16 quarts, if I run out, it is off to Los Anchorage. But I can get a "FIX" in Girdwood half way in. Otherwise it is straight to rehab.:o:o:o

But, I just got her the other day, and haven't even eaten any yet!

How about an entire elk and 2 deer butchered and wrapped.

hopeak with that much canned food how do you rotate w/o going past use date?

1) I just eat it and disregard the date.

2) Near as I can tell everything good for at least 2 years.

3) My biggest problem is not a few expiration dates, but freeze up, I am having wood stove problems, and change out in the winter, with no heat, or leaving to go overnight to a gun show, if for any reason the cabin cooled off on a night it was -12* below, stuff could start to freeze fast. I lost two cases of cut green beans last year, I forgot to bring them in from the unheated connex into the cabin, and they ruptured.

Another problem is the space that the food takes up in a small cabin, with eight puppies, their four legged-ten spigot milk dispenser.

Beans & rice for the first month and alternate with rice & beans. Two things you can either live on or add something tasty. It might not be great but it's filling,.

why is easy why not is harder, i know the area you live in and plan on bugging out to, and there is plenty of water but (and its that word that is the primer) what if (another primer) you can't get to the water for a number of reasons or what if you need to concentrate on other factors what if there is the ice storm of the century what if there is a war for water what if there is a massive chemical leak what if there is martial law what if-see where i am going with this you ask why i ask why not- i can think of a hundred reasons to store what i do but its the hundred other reasons that i cannot think of that i store what i do- all of us here including your self prepare for the future why discount a simple part of it based on an assumption- i hope that good water is always available to me same with shelter and food BUT WHAT IF- see those words again

Those are good points, WE. In 2000 a company dumped a load of a neurotoxin in the White River here in Indiana. The river runs through our town and the company was upstream. The 100,000 or so dead fish was the first clue. I had to look it up for those that are interested, sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate. Anywhoooo. Not a good place to draw water from for several months. Yes, there are other sources of water one could have used if they had to but having on hand is a good idea. Volcanic ash, ash from wild or forest fires, algea contamination (we've had that too in one of the local lakes) are all common ailments that can impact water purity.

Storing what is readly available to to me makes no sense. Like storing good dirt round here.I can see fresh water from my drive way. There are at least 5 sources I can think of within a couple miles of the house. the closest being 300 feet. At the cabin the water source is further but not to far. The potential for any of it to go bad is really slim.

RIM - look at it this way. I live close to the coast. Lots of rivers around. A category 3 - 5 hurricane will have a storm surge associated with it. That storm surge (let's say it is 20 feet) is salt water and will contaminate any naturally occuring fresh water drinking sources for a very, very long time.

Rick

Then you are right. It wouldn't make any sense for you to store water. Where water isn't that abundant then it would make more sense to stock it. I have 60 gallons on hand (50 gallon hot water heater and two 5 gallons storage cans). If I need more I can skip down to the lake or any number of small creeks and filter it. If I were in the desert southwest, that might be a different story.

i hope your right all i'm saying is i look at the potential for events slim is still a potential ice storm of the century ice 10 ft thick very hazardous conditions why not store some just in case, in a town here near by there is a do not drink oreder because somehow blue green algea has contaminated the lakes so potential is all i am saying but if your that confident it won;t happen to you the best of luck with that

If there is anytype of farming going on around the water source,I'd worry about contaminants washing into the water source from pestisides and other chemicals farmers apply to their crops.I think I'd be filtering that water.....
