Yep. Chicken, fish, a whole steer, and lots of veggies, corn dogs, egg rolls, Buffalo wings, etc, in 4 freezers, plus a big pantry with boxed, and canned goods. We're good.
I have 3 deer, an elk and a lamb. Plus a bunch of frozen veggies. Canned fish and deer this past winter
3 freezers full here and a well stocked pantry. Hoping that the electricity stays on.
I doubt that the majority of folks are paying attention. Hot water comes out of the tap, the tv comes on and Taco Bell is still in business. All is well.
The larger inner cities could get a lot sportier than they already are.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

There's the rub. SHTF bad enough gennies aren't going to save all that frozen food. Yes I have a freezer full too, it's never going to be enough. Nothing but bad choices and worse choices coming.
Oh, am I supposed to have some pithy saying here? Sorry, not today.
Talked to a farmer friend of mine. If gas was subject to the same increases in fertilizer - gas would be 17 a gallon right now.
I'd be curious to know -
1. Given how much food this country wastes and raw commodities it exports - is it really possible to go hungry or would we simply re-evaluate how we eat? Too many people buy "meals" and not "ingredients" - that is people are paying 20 bucks for a meal that they could get the ingredients for at 9 bucks and make themselves. So to speak. 2. Does a lack of fertilizer really mean no food? Lower yield doesn't mean they don't plant it completely - they may switch crops but the math will become supply/demand on new crop EVERYONE'S growing vs lower yield but higher supply/demand delta = more money on the other stuff.

Tell me about canning fish? I can vegetables, fruit deer, chickens, and so on, but I've never heard of canning fish?
J23; Top of the morning to you sir, I hope the day's looking to be a good one for you and you're all well.
There's a bunch of videos on this, so I pulled one off the top that I honestly didn't watch all of, but she seems pretty thorough.
Where I grew up in Saskatchewan the Romanian/Ukrainian and often Mennonite folks used to go down to the sucker runs in spring and catch washtubs full. When I asked them how they cooked them, they all replied that they pressure canned them.
While I can't say this with certainty, they claimed it was tough to tell the difference between it and say canned tuna or salmon other than texture.
Hopefully this is useful for you or someone out there.
