Neighbor feeds the birds and squirrels so they are fat and abundant. Food base is covered

kaboku: You say that your wife has hypothyroid, and you also said you go somewhere to get seaweed. Are you getting the seaweed to treat your wife's ailment? I, too have suffered from hypothyroid for 20 years. It will really mess up your life. It is especially scary to think about dealing with hypothyroid in a survival situation. I went around and around with Armour Thyroid, which is freeze dried pig thyroid gland, stuff worked pretty well. Was on synthroid for about a week, that stuff didn't do me right. At any rate, I now take 3 supplements, which really help and I am about back to my old self. I take 200 mcg selenium, 25 mg iron citrate, and 225 mcg kelp daily. Kelp, as I'm sure you know, is seaweed, comes in little pills. Here is my source for kelp: http://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-premium-kelp-iodine-source-225-mcg-500-tabs?otherSize=SW337

Do you think that's enough prepping for me or should I consider converting to LDS? Thanks in advance. Dwayne PS; Corb's a self confessed "back slidden Mormon" Dwayne, I don't think anybody is stupid enough to bother you. SHTF or not. I hope you and your foreign country are doing well. Weather is good here so I may even go outside this weekend. Travis

After all the vegetables become ripe for picking you can just walk through and take whatever you need. It's really cool and beats the schit out of having your own garden. Travis

Drinking water would be my major issue. Several months of food and about a 5 year supply of fire wood on hand.

I would work to transition her from synthyroid to the iodine found in seawake seaweed. It wouldn't be perfect but hopefully it would work enough in the long run.

I have everything I need so I don't have to leave the house for 2 months. That should get me through most natural disasters. We are not talking about whiskey!

I have the skills to get by the same way my ancestors did and enough food to get through until I raise more if needed.
My dad, who's 83, didn't live in a house with electricity until he was in the eighth grade when they moved to town. He taught me alot about raising food and the practicalities of butchering meat without the niceties of freezers and such. My grandmother was a wealth of knowledge also.
Chit you can't read in a book.
Kent Kent, I agree knowledge is the most important. I doubt if Arizona could support 1 million people these days, 1/2 million was ok when your grand dad (and mine) were running around. think about the deer hunting around globe and superior and morenci....when there was a strike. not so good. the number of people that go hunting now is higher than ever, the gear is better than ever, and a lot of these folks are pretty good hunters. I'm figuring most game is going to be cleaned out pretty quick. Sycamore thats what most people dont realize..in the early 1900's people looked around and realized the whitetail deer might wind up extinct there were so few around...and that was with a hell of alot less mouths to feed than today....even up here in the middle of nowhere it was notable to see just tracks when my granddad was a young adult....good big game hunting is a relatively new thing in its present form and takes alot of rules being followed to keep it that way with the number of people versus number of critters....

I'll be fine. Highly unlikely you'll be fine with only 18 beers.

In the SHTF scenario, the deer and turkeys wouldn't last long. The Game Warden and the Sheriff would be out shooting deer with a spotlight at night, so they could feed their families. In about a month, all gone. As someone suggested, one valuable trade commodity would be booze. Squirrel away 3 or 4 cases of George Dickel, or Smirnoff Vodka, nice but not too expensive booze. Get it in glass bottles. In the survival situation, you got a bottle of George Dickel with the seal intact, you could trade it for just about anything. The cheapest way to store a lot of food is to get five gallon buckets of dried beans, corn, barley, hard red winter wheat, etc, nitrogen packed. Stored in a basement this food will last 25 years. While brown rice is very good for you, no good for long term storage, it only lasts 18 months. Get a hand cranked grain grinder and grind up some wheat and corn and make some cornbread. Add a cup of the hydrated cooked beans to a loaf of cornbread, you have almost a perfect food. Costs about five cents per slice. My Corona grain grinder. This thing is built like a tank, weighs 11 pounds.
