Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Are you prepared for SHTF scenarios

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.
