I have been working on my food on rotation, Vacuum sealing is working great for me living in a humid environment means I have to be careful about mold.
I have lost some food in learning how to store, but now I am feeling much better about this as I have been going two weeks without going to the grocery store and finding what things I miss, and ways that I don’t get board with the food I have stored. I know I could survive without the grocery for a long time, and I have been working on ways to feed animals from tree hay.
Building a local food network has been one of the things I have been working on, as you can’t grow it all, and being able to trade with others sure helps with the variety of food you can have when the LCE happens.
I guess what I am trying to reason thru is how I will cope with the millions that are going to come to the USA from the border, and all of those who are loosing their homes and jobs. Tough times are ahead, and preparing now sure can ease the pain of what is likely to come.

The biggest danger with these is for them to get too hot and the heat destroys the unit. For myself I would rather have solar panels and a lithium battery. I buy used panels at 60$ for 200 watts of power, add a charge controller and a battery for the money you are further ahead than the stove in that you can have the sunshine charge the battery in the background. It is what I am doing to run my home with 4,000 watts of power. Cloudy days I use a generator,

I normally look on youtube for a video on how to save the seed for about any plant I want to store. But there is a good book out there for helping to save seeds.
“Seed to Seed”

Have you ever done tree hay? How do you know there is less work?

Great video that describes what it is:

My links about it:

The short version is trees leaves have enough nutrition to feed animals just like grass can. It can be stored and used like hay. Certain trees have benefits in nutrition for the animals and can be used to supplement your animal feed.

Yep power is a good thing and having backups to the backups I am a firm believer.

But the root problem is they have been trained to leech off others, but have not been trained to work for themselves.

Yeah, it is one of the reasons I want a bug out plan, it will be easy to deni them who do not prepare, but it will be worse to deni their children who are hungry. One of the reasons I would like to setup working gardens so they can work for food, and, create food for the hungry that will come after them.

But if they did not prepare, then they would have poor work habbits as well so would have to have a task master for them, till they learned to work. And if they are smart they will learn to store for themselves so they can work smarter and not harder.

I have saved a 50 lb bag of rice for them. I figure 8 hours of work for 1 cup of rice is great wages for someone who did not prepare. 🙂

They did a recall on them, everything about them looks nefarious.

This is why I spend so much time growing my food organically. Buying organic is expensive at the store. Eating cheap is expensive at the doctor.

When you add up all of the events together one can see the food system is under attack.
