In the preparedness world, “cool” attracts a lot of attention. The latest & greatest guns have wallets being pulled out faster than Joe Biden’s brain cells are leaving his head. Communications equipment with all the bells and whistles that just might have you talking to ET. Bug out vehicles with knobby tires and super-bright aftermarket lights to show all the zombies looking to feast on your flesh. Don’t forget all the knives and backpacks to carry you off into the mountains to become another Grizzly Adams.
Nope. Food isn’t considered cool.
Neither is starving.
I’ve got several of these buckets as part of my food storage program. The price is fantastic.

This is an incredible deal! I am flush up right now with long term storage, but Augason is one of my favorite suppliers. Great selection in this package.
My long term storage is a back yard filled with orange and purple sweet potatoes, a dozen moringa trees, and a bunch of different kinds of green veggies. Get those seeds going folks. That is how to survive surreal times like this.
Just because you plant a garden doesn’t insure a harvest! There are good years and bad years and that goes for big farmers as well. Also, can you camouflage your garden? Build it and they will come. Happened a lot during the Depression. You can only grow so much protein and you can’t live without it. Calories either. Your plan needs to be all encompassing, not just gardens. Please don’t say Hunting, because everyone and their third Cousin will be Hunting and it can also be regulated to death. Same with fishing. Having long term and short term food storage is a hedge that needs to be done.
Soo.. Emergency food once used cannot be used again.. Consumables in general.. unless you can replace it.
So gardens, animal husbandry and foraging can be very important.
I agree with gardens.. do it now so you learn how to grow and how to preserve surplus. (canning, dehydrating, freeze-drying, fermenting, etc. etc..). However you don’t have to be 100% one or the other. You stretch meals by supplementing, you can do the same with your emergency stock to make it last. The Emergency buckets are sealed and last a very long time, for desperate times.. to allow you to get back up and running with other methods you should use, in place of using finite resources. Fire, flood, social unrest, critters, “the golden hoard” .. you can lose stuff… and buckets can make you less a refugee and are portable. Just recognize last resort is LAST. We prep, so we have plans. LAST is scary.. if it IS LAST. If it isn’t LAST then you use it as LAST if you have other options.
Spring is here almost.. seeds started inside already.. get r done guys.

We operate a small organic teaching farm near the outskirts of Eugene Oregon.
On a slow day, my usual food intake is at least 3,000 (three thousand) calories per meal.
I rise early, so I usually eat at least three-four meals daily, plus snacks, plus smoothies.
For all you math whizzes:
* that 37,000 calories in each bucket would last me three-four days?
Do I have that right?
Unfortunately for my metabolism, I cannot rise past about an 11% (eleven percent) body-fat.
If I was a car, I would be an A-10 Warthog with Lamborghini engines… not an Oldsmobile station-wagon with the governor set at 30mph.
In my late teens, I thought working with a woodland fire-crew would hold my interest; each member of our crew could burn through 12,000-15,000 calories daily.
Each.

I have a reason for two forty-foot Conex shipping containers of mostly organic canned goods and other foods, plus a forty-foot semi-trailer of canned-goods and commercial smoothie mixes.
My reason?
I think about food… a lot.
BACON!
I eat 3,000 calories a day and I would be as big as my house.
