Self-Sufficiency and Preppers

[sourgrapes]

I want to get some food and goods stocked up in a pantry that I can rotate as need be. I want to work my way up to having at least 3 months worth of food and supply (including water) so I am prepare if something should hit the fan.

What are some good items that have long self lives, good for stocking a long-term pantry?

I'm starting to learn how to grow but I still don't have any clue how to hunt. Where does one even begin with that? I am considering getting some chickens. My landlord told me I am allowed but not roosters and he said no more than 5 chickens. I am thinking I will start with 3. At the very least I will have a protein source with the eggs.

Lentils, chickpeas, corned beef, local honey, seeds (linseed, pumpkin, sesame, etc). I have a friend that uses Huel.

Also rice has a long shelf life.

I looked into rice and I was shocked that if you keep it in the freezer, it can last up to 20 years. That is insane! I am going to get some bags of rice and some dry beans when I go shopping this weekend.

Get Jasmine brown rice & wild rice. I'm continuously hearing reports that white rice has pieces of plastic in it.
Various brands, could be all brands, but mainstream media isn't reporting that part.

I heard about this years ago. They also don't check for arsenic. This can be an issue for all sorts of rice which is why I only buy and eat one brand. It is organic and they test for arsenic regularly. I think the reason rice commonly has this toxin in it is down rice being grown on old cotton fields so the soil has it in it.

Also biltong, and if stored correctly oats last a long time.

I wanted to add that if you get any kind of dry goods like rice or beans, always remove them from the plastic bag and put them in a glass or food-grade plastic jar with a tight fitting lid. Toss a few food-grade silica packets in there too. That will keep for a long time that way, 20 years and beyond if you keep it stored in a good spot. Basements that are dry tend to be the best place.

This may have been addressed in that video above, not sure but I learned about this years ago. I am stocking up on rice.

I've been saving those packets for a long time. 😁

I don't guess that the Star button works. Now this was very informative because a lot of us don't live in Rural areas we live in Houses in cities and Apartments This could be very useful to those not living way out in your counties (farmland) etc. I'll pass this video on.
