I just wondered how many of you........

[Dave]

........have at least a years worth supply of food stored?

I have. But the 7 other closest family members have not. So I'd only have enough for a couple of months really.

 

[kaiAnderson]

i used to have dried food stored for a few months but the wife ate all the rice.

 

[Dave]

Muhahahhahhaaa

 

[Big G]

Just been to aldi for a family shop.. so about a weeks worth

 

[Dave]

Ahhh, youre a goner mate.

Maybe 3 weeks worth of meat in the house, slightly less in veg. It's time to build up the hurricane stocks for the season though, and luckily the Commissary is having a case lot sale on Eglin A.F.B. Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, so I'll stock up pretty cheaply.

 

[Dave]

Nice. Wish we had those resources over here.

 

[bopdude]

Not a chance of food lasting more than a week around here

Ahhh.. But i forget about the meat & fish in the chest freezer

The Commissaries are restricted to military shoppers only (active duty, National Guard or Reserves while on active duty, and retirees; plus dependents of the previous) I spent 21 years in uniform to get those shopping privileges. The everyday price in them is their cost plus a 5% surcharge to fund store maintenence but they're exempt from all state and local taxes.

A civilian counterpart would be one of the big membership wharehouse type stores (although they do charge a slight profit and are subject to taxation.

I'd say that taking into account everything i have that i can eat in the house i have a week and a half-ish worth of food. A years supply would be far more than i could store. I'd be lucky to fit a months in.

For dry goods (rice/pasta/flour) and packaged things, I could do 6 months, easy.
Only 2 x 20lb propane tanks and I know they aren't full but maybe 4-6 weeks of hot meals there.
If the power stays on for the meats in the freezer, I'm sure I could spin it out for a year.
Just replaced stocks of maybe 20 of my herbs & spices with fresh, so variety of tastes is good to go.

I have a supply for maybe two months of survival. As I can fish and hunt I can stretch this supply a couple of months longer.

Liquids for about 2 months too. Flavoured bottled water, beer and wine.

That is what happens when you marry a Chinese!

I have.

I'm sure I'm going to regret asking this but why?

In case Corbyn wins and/or UK leaves the EU?

 

[Dave]

Just in case obviously. Hows that shirt working out?

Of what - agoraphobia? You know Tesco deliver these days!

Hows that shirt working out?

Good - I like it, wouldn't want it much smaller though.

Maybe the real deal is to look to our collective past, under sail. Citrus and Vitamin C, or lack thereof, will be our undoing as scurvy.
Maybe the right thing to do is to stash a year's vitamin pills which can (potentially) alleviate dietary shortcomings.

 

[Janne]

Vitamin D if you live in bleak UK is more important
Today we know about Vit C and where to source it from. They did not in the past, not in UK anyway.
In Scandinavia we were eating rose hips to prevent scurvy at least before Viking age.
