LoL, well of course if you are not worried about someone taking your food, or your daughter, someone will. Human history shows that, Ostrogoth, Vandals, etc. The big dog WILL eat the little dog.

But moving back to the topic of storing food for disasters, timing is everything. It isn't enough to say I am rural and I can hunt and fish and plant. In the US we (in the 1930s) had the double whammy of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. Millions of Americans tried to feed their families by hunting and fishing when they couldn't afford to buy food and the crops blew away in the dust storms. Needless to say the deer and game fish pushed towards extinction by the end of the year. Only the introduction of hunting laws brought them back. Different topic.

Is there a population on Earth more rural and in touch with the Earth than the Himalayan villagers of Nepal?

Has that been of any value? No. They didn't store food. They stored seed crop. They had to eat that. Planting season is upon them. It ain't gonna happen this year. The monsoons will be soon, but there are no roofs.

Ken_19: If there is a disaster of some kind, meteor strike, major earthquake or tsunami regular shipments to stores may be disrupted, water mains may be broken, etc. The government may promise evacuation, then forget to come. How prepared are you for such times?

No. I won't even buy tinned food because it's for crackheads and wars. However, I would make a damn good looter and I am sure that I would steal more than enough supplies. I would then get the chance to do rationing on people - which to be honest has always been a dream of mine.

Could you please explain the very weird thoughts revealed by the sentence in bold? Maybe it is a language thing? Here tinned means canned. We have had canned food over 100 years before we had crackheads. The always present in my life can of Campbells Tomato soup I don't remember seeing it in the last two war zones I walked through. Please explain your thought.

Theatrics. It's a way of saying canned/tinned food is my last choice food. You know I also ended by saying rationing people is a dream of mine, do I sound like I'm filling in a government form? Do I sound literal? And do you have to sound so religiously one-dimensional?

Canned foods ok, look at the Franklin polar expedition. They put poisons in 95 % of our food now anyway.

tarris: seems to be a quirk of paranoia ruled people particular to the US


I disagree about all this wait two weeks for the radiation to lift. Even in the sixties a lot of people knew in an all out nuclear exchange nothing was going to be left. Maybe a small group living miles underground in massive bunkers. In a few hundred years they might come to the surface. Probably no atmosphere left anyway.
