The everything about food thread.

There are outfits online where you can order whole menus of dried canned goods. You can get weeks, months, or years worth of assorted items to make a well balanced diet. If you have that, and can supplement with garden grown veggies and some meat, you could make it for quite a while.

That's one thing I haven't heard anyone mention. If you're planning on growing some of your food in a garden, you might want to stock up on seeds. You can vacuum seal them and put them in the freezer to extend their usefulness. If you have a certain variety of stuff you like, you could just exchange them each spring when you went to do your planting.

Ya mean like this stack of #10 cans in the boxes? I also have a bunch of seeds put away. The garden last year did OK but here in CO it can be hit or miss and that is just the hail storms.

One thing I want to point out is not to put all your eggs in one basket. I started this thread small hoping to build on it. Soon we will get to putting your own stuff up in Mylar for long term storage along with those #10 cans. A few teasers.
