Food ideas
Mar 30 2008, 9:10 PM EDT 1) Storing food for years is mucho expensive, unless you like oatmeal, rice & beans and ramon noodles. At most the average joe can afford a years worth (or two). 2) Raiding stores would be hit or miss, not to mention dangerous. 3) Live off the land, no way. At least not for me, I know I'm not Daniel Boone. 4) I like the idea of growing my own food. More than likely I'd go the Pilgrim route and work on squashes, beans, carrots, pumpkins, corn, potatoes, etc. Concentrate on foods that dry or store well. I'd raise chickens, goats and rabbits if at all possible. 5) Hunting would only work for so long. 6) Raising fish like Talapia in large tanks or swimming pools. (kind of like how they do it on fish farms, but where to get the food to feed the fish?) 4 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |

Mar 31 2008, 11:36 AM EDT Heres an Idea for long term food storage. My wife and I use old plastic soda bottles, cleaned of course. I spent a few years in LA and moisture and bugs got into everthing, soda bottle are cheap to free easy to pack easy to store. We have stored dry soup. dehydrated fruits and veggie, oatmeal, flour, rice, salt . If you had to you could store ammo. Do you find this valuable? |

RE : Scavenging for Food
May 17 2008, 6:05 PM EDT Look in a variety of places to find supplies. Some I can think of are Stores, Covenants stores, party stores, food pantries ( community and church charity drives), Houses, Cars, Restaurants, Distribution Centers, Wholesale warehouses, Semi trailers, and get a book on plants that are eatable. Do you find this valuable? |
