    Buckle up, this shit is just getting started. The US economy is going to be utterly fucked with the donvict and muskrat running things. I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if we actually see mass starvation in the US before this is all over. Not because there’s no food, but because a large swath of the public just can’t afford it.

        I can’t afford 4 years of canned goods for 3 people.

        I’m just gonna set up a garden this spring and can 90% of it.

            How are you protecting them from insects, potential rodents, or water damage?

            If the economy gets so bad that you need to dip into the basement rice, you very likely might not be able to get your sump pump fixed or keep out pests as well.

            I have a week of emergency food, but it’s stuff my family will actually like to eat and is fairly nutritious. Beans and rice will only get you so far. And my emergency stash is in waterproof storage containers on a shelf. I just advise you to actually look into shelf stable foods you’ll enjoy eating and look into proper storage practices for food.
