What does the acronym TEOTWAWKI stand for please?
oldman/Marty> "If you dehydrate the ground beef until the completely dry stage it will keep indefinitely. We have dried some and it has been over 2 years and still rehydrates well when covered with boiling water. We use it in Tom & Mac soups and spaghetti. If you want I will send the full instructions.", would you please take a moment to share the link to dehydrating ground beef?
tacmotusn> thank you for this helpful information, "Just a note; Keep in mind the standard rule of thumb is a 5 to 1 ratio of Rice to Beans to sustain health. Most everything else is "nice to haves" that makes the mundane palatable over the long haul. I guess my point is, if you want to get the most bang out of dollar in the shortest period of time, then it would be beneficial to increase your rice purchases to match the various beans on that magic 5 to 1 ratio. At least until you have enough food put aside to cover the first year post SHTF for you and yours. Others will say, just buy extra of what you normally eat."

Today we got a case of Chicken Noodle Soup at the LDS Cannery. I'm not sure how to get miscellaneous things at the wet pack cannery except on its monthly schedule. It'd be nice to get raspberry jelly (for example) sooner than 6 months from now.

 

Morning;
Picked up 24 more mountain house meals, 13 Herford corned beef and 12 Hereford hash (best hash ever).
Got the OK from head bookkeeper to order a Simple Pump hand pump for our deep well, it’s going to hurt a little ($) but it will assure a shtf water supply.

Stay safe

 

We're 2 hours from the wet pack and 1 1/2 from the dry pack.

10 50-oz cans Members Mark chicken
