[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2089453, member: 807"] Seriously, dried beans, a good water filter, some flour or meal and some good old lard will feed you for quite a while. As a kid growing up in SE Oklahoma, we were dirt poor, but so was everyone else around us. None of us realized we were so poor. My Mother and Aunts canned everything we could eat. Lots of stuff from the garden, berrys and plums we picked in season and one of the strangest memories I have is of opening the pantry and looking at all the mason jars of canned squirrels. Mom and Aunt Kat would clean the squirrels, cut off the feet and head and pressure cook them. They would then take them out and either fry them and make gravy, or make dumplings with them. We ate pinto beans and cornbread every day for lunch except Sundays. We then normally had fried chicken from our chicken yard. I was a pretty big kid before I found out that Salt Port wasn't bacon. Keeping flour or meal requires refrigeration to keep the weevils from hatching out in it. I wonder if anyone sells irradiated flour to stop that? My prepping is to allow us to hunker down and survive for a month or so when the trucks quit making deliveries to the grocery stores. That is what scares me, we are just three days away from starvation in most cases. Blitzfike [/QUOTE]
