I have invented and honed the Apocalypse Peanut Butter Trick (sry I know P.B. is evil.)

I have get my food on donation through other peoples poor and terrible, unproductive Labour (By Force).

Anyhow, they have these Jars of Peanut Butter, you can often take several at a time, if you really enjoy Peanut Butter.

The trick is that it's all natural Peanut Butter. and it's settled so the solids are at the bottom and the oil is all on top separated, (suspicious they pour it in on top rather than it separating in the jar like that)

You can use the oil for cooking or whatever you want
use sparingly, really slick and potent

as I found myself lacking butter, Margerine, lard or other oil more than a few times as I live through my Cnd Gov. imposed, forced individual, indentured servitude (made a slave) for life, singled out for torture for dissenting, Pre-Apocalypse Nightmare meant to do me in and steal away the future from others and hoard it for...others who hate them worse than I can, on default, for racially, ethnically, and socio/economically screwing them before birth, anyhow makes no sense).(just for you).

Enjoy your concentration camp style poverty peanut butter Sandwitch.

My freezer is stuffed! Knowing the meat and protein shortage was coming, from last spring's weather, the killing of all the livestock and fowl, and the lack of feed for any other herds, I purchased every meat I found on sale. Have a big pile of boneless,skinless chicken breasts that were .99 per pound, and some other chicken parts. Couple beef roasts, a few small steaks, a little pork though I think I am getting near the end of wanting pork.

Wish I had more tomatoes and fresh eggs, but don't want to go to the store any more. Time to shelter in place.

Wish you success in your shopping - please wear protection - please?

I've watched some of this channel's videos and find them excellent! So glad you posted this - we can learn so much and manage better in the circumstances we are entering.

Thank you for posting with us, and welcome here!

Sorry to say, your post is very difficult to interpret. What is the sandwich? You spoke of politics, natural peanut butter, indentured servitude, but didn't seem to quite get to your destination.

Please give us a better description of the "concentration camp style poverty peanut butter sandwich". We might love it!

Let's go a little lighter on political commentary - we don't generally get into that in this thread. Thanks.

And, with the non-GMO, non-hybrid, heirloom seeds, one cannot emphasis enough, always,
always take the seeds from every crop to plant the next crop. That is absolutely vital!


It is one of the channels I subscribe to and watch often. Knowing how out forefathers
lived and how to do the same is a skill very few and far between have.

Just a word of advise to all preppers, if the SHTF, cut your meals down to one per day.

You don't want to be the only fat person in the food lines later on, and may tip those watching that you have a stock of food.

Exactly, my friend! Also if you have any oversize clothing on hand plan to wear it after a bit. No longer safe to go to thrift shops to acquire more, so do the best you can. Many of us can afford to lose the weight!

Interesting that you say that. Our family already (and has for many years) only eat one meal a day.
If we get hungry, we'll just snack on a carrot or two or left-overs from the night before.

Me too !
Love this thread

Just green-pinned us - good luck all!

Why has your family chosen to do this? I think it is unusual, isn't it? Glad it works for you -and you are probably all quite slim, right?

Don't forget your local restaurant supply company. Many have showrooms that are open to the public and can be an incredible source for salt, flour, yeasts etc all in bulk at really low prices.

Here is an example of one within 30 miles of me that I shop:

Very popular in the Mediterranean. Eat your fill one sitting per day.

Terces Egassem, thank you for these threads!

I did not purchase any cowpeas and now wish I had! To think even the leaves are high protein - and protein will be harder and harder to find - so now I know. If there ever is another opportunity to prep, which is questionable at the moment, I will definitely be acquiring black-eyed peas!

One would think this would be a more healthy way of eating, although proponents of "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" would certainly not agree. I don't do breakfast - haven't in many years. If I do, I am starving all day long.

Same here, I eat nothing until 11:30am, then it is usually 4 eggs, with 5 oz. of meat (liver, or steak), or 4 strips of bacon, or 4 sausage links.

Then I eat dinner at 5:30pm. That's it.

I am in my early 40's and most guys in their late 20's are jealous of my physical condition.

Go to an army surplus store and ask

Keep in mind that once these lighters get wet they are useless other than the fluid inside. Keep dry at all times.

I have a #10 can of seeds I bought over a decade ago. Unopened. Still good?

So apparently most of the things that we have been taught are weeds, are actually healthy edible greens. The reason we were taught that weeds = trash is because many of them are invasive which means they takeover and affect biodiversity. Which also means they grow fast and vigorous ( as weeds are known to do) So here we are trying to grow a broccoli under a grow-light when there are all kinds of healthy greens that can grow in just weeks.

Also about beans. I did not know these facts

#1 - The beans in the bulk food store actually grow

#2 - THE BEAN LEAFS GREENS can be cooked and eaten

#3 - Bean plants grow crazy fast and produce lots of leaves

Now on to sweet potatoes.

Once they start to grow slips, these slips also grow leafs like weeds

#1 - sweet potato leaves are edible

Seriously, one never has to starve it seems.. However, unless we are on hunger-deaths door, I would still be mindful and grow them as respectfully as possible ( preventing seed spread ) I will order some weeds. Heck dandelion is a weed and its super good for you.

I rarely eat full meals. Mostly, I just graze. Apple here, cheese and crackers there, salad here, tomato there, and so on. If we do cook, we generally make enough to last a few days. I just don't really like to sit and stuff my face. I think it has to do with having RA, maybe, but I mostly just like raw foods.

This is going to be an absolute nightmare for me because I am now afraid to go to the farmer's market :(

I guess I'll have to start my own garden and see if I can keep it alive. I tend to kill pretty much everything except for pumpkins, for some reason.

try it and see!

Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet.

Feminine hygiene products are inexpensive compared to bandages and work exactly the same. They are sterile and will work to cover wounds as that's what they are made for. Get yourself a box for your med supplies.

Oh and Iodine. You need iodine for a lot of stuff like water.

This thread is amazing! Is it better to take Vitamin C powder or tablets? I want to build up my immune system and prevent cytokine storm.

I sure wouldn't throw them away! Yes, I would try germinatig a few of each kind, to see if they germinate well.

Meantime, purchase heirloom seeds of anything you would like to eat.
