Spinoff: How much food do you keep on hand?

[cervelorod]

Probably 6-8 months if we were isolated, only thing I am lacking is enough gasoline. Got enough diesel for 6 months, and live in a very agricultural area. They grow everything here, and as long as we could make it to the next growing season, we would never go hungry. Also have short and long range protection devices, and enough fuel for those to keep the urban insects from getting to close, should they make it out here. We have enough equipment to be completely off grid if we had to, but not willing to commit to the cost to deploy it as the roi would be very negative until the grid stopped working.

The last stuff the wife bought I had to kick the freezer door closed. I have elk on the hoof next door so I’m pretty sure we’ll never run out of meat. Water, not a problem. Friend that owns said elk has literally pallets of bottled water in his huge man cave. Got wheat and rice and beans in five gallon buckets for days thanks to the neighbors who were moving to Tennessee and didn’t want to carry all of their food storage with them. I’m pretty sure we we would be okay. Enough ammo to supply a small army to persuade chimpouts to move on to less lethal places.

If I don't go to the store on Saturday, I'll have no food to make it to Thursday.

Don't need to eat at the house most days. Pretty good about 1 meal a day for long periods of time Try to keep a week or two worth of water on hand, city water goes "boil only" pretty regularly.


Edit: my desire to not go to the store on a weekday is greater than my desire to eat. Grocery store is 1 block away, few hundred feet
