[quote:Pooka:MV8zOTYyNTk1XzcxNjQ0NDQ4XzE1MENENkUw] [quote:The Vigilant:MV8zOTYyNTk1XzcxNjQ0NDMyX0JBOThBOTM5] IMO, and I am by no means an expert prepper, but canned soup seems the smartest purchase to me. Dried goods might have a longer shelf life, but it isn't food so much as access to clean water - and lots of it - that will be crucial to any survival scenario. Beans and Rice both need a fair amount of H2O to be prepared, and every ounce is water that could be otherwise utilized. Plus, soup comes with it's own water. I did purchase a 4-pack of Lifestraws recently, as well as water purification tablets (cheap) and de-iodinization tabs (cheap and make the purified tab water more palatable). Otherwise, my water plans rely on rainwater. Feel free to pick any and all of this apart. I am at best, a novice regarding these things. [/quote] The Vigilant, please do stay with us. There is lots to learn among these great posters, and you will be adding helps yourself! Regarding the soups - they are very high in salt, meaning they will create more thirst, meaning they will require more drinking water. I think soups would become very boring quickly. I have gone with things to make only with hot water - need to buy a big thing of oats this week. I have dried soups from CostCo - great stuff. Ramen noodles, under which I melt cheese, just for sheer pleasure. Just keep with us and read along - there are many things you can do that are better than canned soup, though we should all have at least some of that, as well. [/quote]

Continuation of another thread of wonderful people with the best ever ideas for practical prepping even for those with little money.
We discuss power outages including CME and EMP, heating and cooking methods, first aid, foods; we run disaster scenarios to see if we know what to do.
This is probably the only prepping thread a person would need, whether long-time prepper here to share, or newbie prepper here to learn and everyone in between.
Welcome!! Join us! Learn! Teach! Enjoy!!
