Got Survival Food?

How’s your food storage looking? If you thought the pre-Covid buying frenzy was bad, just wait until this time next week- or don’t. Your call.

American partisan site affiliate Ready Wise is staying ahead of the fray with their 2020 Preparedness Bundles, each containing 2 120 serving buckets and one 60 serving buckets. The ammo is not on the shelves and likely won’t be for a while. Tactical gear is being bought in quantities like never before. But how many folks have had the foresight to put away extra food?

You owe it to yourselves and those you love to be able to keep enough freeze dried food to make it between the meals of beans, rice, and whatever proteins you’re supplementing that with. While we’re never prepared enough, take that next step and pick up a bundle. Don’t wait.

While having a good supply of basic foods along with Datrex bars ect. a few food buckets did not make sense to until I thought,OK,you have to leave now,toss in vehicle and done,now makes sense to me.I suppose a couple placed as a cache in a vacation home/well hidden cave ect. would also make sense.

CostCo has food buckets. I don’t know if they still have it, but they were selling Mountain House boxes of meals for $60 a few weeks ago. If your baking game isn’t that good, they also have Take-And-Bake loaves of bread that are shelf stable for extended periods of time. 3 loaves to a box. I saw sourdough and garlic bread. I’ve tried the sourdough and it was pretty good. Don’t forget coffee. And household cleaners. For me, dishsoap always seems to run out at unexpected times. Trashbags, too. Don’t forget your spices and condiments.

Remember to include a means to create safe drinking water!

Filter, heat to pasteurization temperatures or chemical treatment.

Definitely support patriot suppliers such as Wise Foods. Also a company to consider for bulk wholesale foods is Azure Standard. They are a vocal supporter of health and food freedom and have a great logistics model with monthly drop deliveries via 18 wheelers around the country. http://www.azurestandard.com

Note: when buying mylar, recommend getting packages of 5-10 each, because once you open an absorber, they start sucking oxygen, you can put them in a sealed glass jar, but they will loose their absorption ability over time.
