I ADVISE YOU TO CLICK THIS! It has begun. FOOD SHORTAGES.

I dont really care about shitfood. I make my own food and i can survive just eating potatoes. And i have chickens 2. Fried potatoes with eggs all day. I barely eat any meat, it makes me lazy. i think fat lazy people are going to be affected big time, for them fast and junk food is like a heroine for a junkie.

One of the best frozen foods for prepping is the hotdog.

I say that because of the way it's packaged. You can take one out while frozen and leave the rest frozen...you can't do that with steak, chicken, pork roast, etc.

You could add it to soup or beans or eat it plain. High fat content & a long life in the freezer.

And they take up little space in the freezer. Pre-cooked as well.

Well, I didn't see this one coming:

Thank you Lord for giving us our daily bread!
And time to prepare for the troubling times ahead!
As I am the protector and provider of those who rely upon me!

I have suffered and went without to provide my family with what they will need during the trying times of upheaval that this world has and will be subject to again, as history has witnessed.

The Bible tells us to prepare ourselves!
It also says that those who fail to, will suffer, And you do not need to share with them! For they were warned!

Not really religious but the Lords prayer comforts me! And we have been blessed, for I have never known hunger!

My plan is a urban farm as I have a acre in the city of LA,
If the situation allows us to stay here and not bug out is
Pantry always full of what we eat should be several month to a year of some canned goods especially meats, soups, pasta ect.
Water storage 1-3 gallons per person per day, I have apx 2000 gals in tanks with rain water recovery, gutters catch it all, piped to the tanks, fills in a few minutes. Water storage cost about $1.00 per gallon, a gallon jug is $1.00, a 500 gal tank cost $500 a 1000 gal will be $1000. IBC totes are cheap $100ish gets you 300 gals.

Long term food storage 1500 -3000 calories a day per person.
I got 5 million calories worth.
Can not do beans and rice for long need fixens or sides and sauces things that add calories, hell "I have 3 weeds in my yard that have apx 80 calories per servings full of vitamins and minerals.

Garden
All needed tools, equipment, a ton of seeds, pest and disease defense or control and the most important thing is knowledge!!!
I got apx a 1/2 acre of great amended soil, all has or is growing now!
Sprouting and micro greens, 2x4 rolling shelves with hydro trays.
Fruit trees mature.

Small animals, Housing Pens, enclosures, cages, animal husbandry and enough feed to through several months.
2 breading sets of American chinchilla rabbits.
2 Buff Orpington roosters, 12 hens and 5 chicks this morning hope for a dozen by tomorrow.
Adding Quail this week!

Best way to have some long term basic food is providentliving.org about the same price as the store bought but packaged and boxed for long term storage.

Cheaper is feed store oats, grains and seeds, I have in 10 totes with 3 ea 50-80 LBs bags in each, I do rotate it to the animals sprouts, fodder, chicken feed and scrach! Keep it in a dry area and no mice or rats.

Long term food to store freeze dried. I do Augaston farms from sams or walmart online with free shipping for the best price. Entrees, Stew blend,
TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) It is cheap and has so many flavor's like taco, susage, chicken, hamburger, bacon, ham ect.

Gotta go build a quail brooder and cage.

potato shortage in US expect price of french fries and potatoes to go up. hm does this sound ike what happened to IRELAND?

Well Done!

Hopefully you also have the means to protect your homestead and supplies if things get sporty?

I am in So Cal and they have been turning off the power for days freezer is no longer an option! Turned the extra or big one into a incubator for chicks and quail! a work in progress!

Some science to go with the doom!!!

First Cold and crop losses.

I am in So Cal and they have been turning off the power for days freezer is no longer an option!

-------------------

DAMN that's gotta be a pain in the ass...I feel for ya!

I was thinking about a solar freezer for my SHTF preps...but I haven't gotten around to it.

I should re-address that issue.

My electric bill is way out of control anyways, I wanted to get rid of the big freezer it is working great as a incubator and a brooder fot the week old chicks.

It's all good I have chickens, rabbits and now the quail eggs just arrived a few hours ago, so hopefully in a few months it will be on the menu!

Cost increased hidden in less quantity!
Long term food storage,

Thread: STRANGE THINGS ARE STARTING TO HAPPEN In The Waters Along The West Coast, And THE FISH ARE STARTING TO DISAPPEAR

Did a grocery run today...I was a bit shocked when the bill came to $183.

Oh shit.

I was expecting it to be around 110.

And it appears that we are seeing the beginning. Not food shortages but certainly a climb in prices. He also brings in peak production as a factor later in the video; fertilizer, food production and mining.

The peak metals was something interesting to think about, in the prelude to WWII the Japanese were the world's largest buyer of scrap metal which they used to industrialize and build a modern military. The US cut off scrap sales and this became one of the reasons that the Japanese decided to attack Pearl Harbor.

Oh, and edible oils are indeed one of the first things to be increasing in price.

And it appears that we are seeing the beginning. Not food shortages but certainly a climb in prices.

------------------

Price is how they control a shortage.

If something is $10,000 per pound...very few can afford it. (but that's an EXTREME example).

The higher the price the less units you will sell.

Prices stoke civil unrest which the video also mentions. He has a chart that shows roughly the point where prices will trigger violence, worth watching just for that.

------------------------

Yup...but if they don't raise the price they'll run out...and that causes civil unrest as well.

Damned if ya do & damned if you don't.

Hyper inflation, not food shortages.

Food everywhere, where I live.

It's a template for planning, if you're paying attention. Buy while they are trying to not hit the point of violence, hunker down when it does.

Too bad this thread died? Been lots of news out since last post. One of my favorites is Iceagefarmer.com.
Solar minimum may or may not happen, but lots of crops destroyed and the prospects of a good outcome this year has not increased.

So, whats up?

I see beans disappearing from shelf's.

I know that Covid-19 is all the rage right now but I ran across an article today that underscores the idea that a larger scenario is playing out.

It's behind a pay wall so I can't link to it, basically it says that the fields in my neck of the woods are in danger of late planting because the water table is so high.

Coming home today I passed fields that have water pools scattered across them, we haven't had any precipitation in a few days so I would not have expected to see that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Covid-19 is a nothingburger. In fact I think that it was inevitable that we would see a pandemic given the history of previous solar minimums... just didn't expect to see one show up so soon, even before we've established what kind of minimum we are in.

So if the Wu-Wu Flu has got you acting, I applaud you and encourage you to look at a larger picture over a longer time. There are events in motion that the pandemic is only a part of. Maybe it'll all just fizzle out, if that's your wager then I would suggest that maybe you hedge your bet. Can't hurt much can it?

Oh, and I went shopping today. Bottled water was completely empty at a big box store with the exception of the pricey premium water. Went to the restaurant supply store and a woman was buying a lot of bottled water there. Had seven cases loaded in her cart and was still pulling more off the shelf.

Can I come live with you? I'll clean the chicken coops

bump for the morning patrol

My report will come in totally on the 4th.

On the 23rd I had gone to do one part of my monthly shopping and found everything needed except for dried beans & lentils. May have to go elsewhere for those altho I really don't feel like traveling too far away from home right now. Probably end up ordering those online.
Prices were definitely up from last month. Ex:the bread went from .99 to 1.19. Peanut butter family size went from 2/5.00 to 3.98 a piece.Mixed frozen veggies 1.19 to 1.29. You get the idea.

My next 2 trips are today and on the 3rd. Will give an update then.
After the 3rd family will be staying home for a straight month with no interaction beyond our yard. CV has us spooked cause US is not releasing any info regarding cases where we live. Going into self preservation mode.

White Castle is making their burgers half the size as well, but only 1/4 the price!!! How can they do that????!?! Harold and Kumar confirmed this in Najaf.

Not really, one pound of fat has 4000 calories. Fat people can go on keto diet (no carbs and sugars) and can live months just burning that fat. They are more prepped than most people , just they don't know it. Human body is amazing 👍
