    re:
    Storage / Emergency Foods

    The narrator describes planning [I add “and rehearsing”] to avoid last-minute panic-grabbing under extreme stress.

    We agree with loading sturdy totes with a two-day supply for two adults. Multiply this by a few dozen, and I start to approach my comfort zone for prevailing during unpleasantness.

    What would we add or change?

    Since we prep for extreme stress during extremely bad events, we include many jugs of coconut oil. This food is extremely nutrient-dense, and is easily digestible by everybody including those without gall bladders. Coconut oil contains lauric acid, converted in monolaren, a powerful anti-viral. MCT oil has many of the nutrients, but this anti-viral is refined out of it. Organic, fair trade.

    Multi vitamins. Pack many times the amount you think you need. Plan on being gone a week, pack a month’s worth… or more.

    Fish oils. Omega 3 oils. Sardines, tuna salmon. And more sardines.

    Full-spectrum vegetable powders and juice powders… dehydrated from real foods. Meal replacement powders. Organic.

    What do we avoid?

    Transfats such as hydrogenated oils. Soy, sunflower, corn, rape seed (canola), and all the other Omega 6 inflammation oils. No go.

    We eliminated grains years ago, so seeing wheat in a pantry is shocking. It is inflammatory, requires more energy to eliminate than it produces, offers no nutrition, and did I mention the inflammation. Thumbs DOWN on pasta .oats, flour. No go.

    Commercially produced foods would be our last choice. Mountain House is just down the road from us, but we prefer knowing the sources of our foods.

    Our church invested in freeze-dryers, and we operate them 24/7. We process organic local seasonal produce and meats such as elk, venison salmon. Herbs, although a distant second best to fresh, are FD, too.

    We filter all our water through reverse osmosis, including our storage water. Add a tiny pinch of Himalayan or sea salt to a quart before consuming to maintain electrolyte balance.

    Why do we go through all this work for every meal and our emergency stores?

    Strong bodies and strong constitutions now may allow us to prevail during tough times.

    PS:
    Is it true four Florida deputy sheriffs waited.outside a school while people inside were murdered?

    When seconds count, police are only minutes away from going to a.union meeting.

    When seconds count, police are only minutes away from their desk.

    When seconds count, police are only minutes away at a conference.

    When seconds count, police are only minutes away and following policy.

    How are you defining ‘coward’?

    Yes, I am a cranky old woman. And yes, I will destroy anybody messing with me, my family, my community. If you think you can separate these three, I think you need to re-think your priorities.

    I want his pantry! Speaking of which, the Absent Daughter’s room is well on its way to becoming my new storage facility! The shelving unit right inside the door is the overflow from the kitchen — what we use on a regular (but not daily) basis. The rest of the space is slowly being organized by type of product. I did a complete inventory of my food last week and compared it to the LDS minimum requirements. I’m surprisingly good in some areas, but my fruits and vegetables are sadly lacking, and my grain stores are weak. I made a spreadsheet for the kitchen listing what products I’d like to have on hand, where to buy them, the quantities I want to build to, and how many we’ve been able to acquire. The Son isn’t on board with all of this, so he won’t cooperate when I want bulk packages, but he’s more than willing to buy random items here and there. The list provides him with a lot of options when he wants to spend $5 to humor me.

    On another note, is anyone else disturbed by North Korea’s involvement in the Olympics? To me, it was nothing but an attempt to emotionally disarm the world, after which he’s going to launch a surprise attack while still insisting that the US is the aggressor.
