My family often uses canned fishes on the days we are busy to go to market for buying things for cooking, so that’s why we have them as prepping food

I love my Foodsaver Vacuum Sealer. I use both the bags (mostly for freezer storage) and the mason jar attachments. Did you know they now have..I think it is 1/2 or 1 gallon mason jars. I put my excess flour (after it has spend time in the refrigerator) and sugar in them.

I know a few other LIKE MINDED people who prep on various levels.
Some have mainly food storage and others survival equipment.
I find that ‘gently’ broaching the whole survival subject with any mention on me being a prepper is the best way.
You can get a feel for other peoples attitude and thoughts on the subject.
There is an article on this site somewhere about making prepper friends.

Very insightful and informative. Especially seeing as it doesn’t have to be a Hollywood-type disaster, it could be something as simple as a flood or power downage that could isolate you from the very things you need to survive. This forward thinking stops you becoming a victim and prepares you for the immediate crisis period

My question is, who could you tell about your prepping. Most see it as extreme and unnecessary as their food supply is abundantly convenient and if things go dark would they come after you as it’s easier than tackling the masses in the supermarket?

2001 was my wake up call too!!
good article above, except for one glaring omission
when buying prep foodstuffs, always read the labels on the back
there it gives you the calorific value per 100 grams
using that as a base, you can compare the actual values of brands sizes and prices
the best, as far as i have been able to determine, is peanut butter.–thats on price, weight and size ive got a lot of it, and sometimes open a jar as a check—ive opened and eaten jars 10-12 years out of date, no sign of deterioration at all

have quite a stock of food and a water but, but intend to amass much more, would like to remove gas fire and have open fire to cook on, would have to stay in my house, and wonder whether to get a gun?
