http://tinyurl.com/guuhchh $13.59, delivered! I should get one
myself. Me nibs're gone, too.

Salvation Army, Goodwill etc etc...have keyboards for a couple bucks.


I have plenty of spare keyboards for free, to anyone in the Central
Florida area. Probably 100+ right now.

Shoulda been prepping with food 'n ammo instead, boy.


These accumulated while repairing old computers to give away.
Sometimes I got three computers, and a dozen good keyboards at a time.

Wow.


I have a month's supply of canned food on hand.

That likely won't be enough...when the whip comes down.
Got enough bottled water for a month, too? And some for the toilet?

The gov recommends 72 hours...snicker.

The New World Order wants 90% of us dead, too. Just enough to service
the couple million elites of the world.


The least one should have on hand is 90 days. Now..if you can find

That's only IF you think the gov't will come save you by then. I don't
see how people can rely on them. Hell, they shipped truckloads of
bottled water for relief of Hurricane Katrina to Connecticut,
ferchrissake. The truck drivers argued with the dispatchers who
showed them the orders direct from FEMA. My old neighbor's daughter
was one of those truckers. It took an extra 8 days to get that water
to where it was supposed to go, So. LA. Not to mention Killer
Trailers direct from the gov't. The gov't who is ordering billions of
rounds of ammo, full-auto rifles, and tens of millions of both body
bags and plastic coffins. This while calling all emergency food
producers to see how much stock they keep. This while calling all
sorts of fencing and building contractors, asking them for estimates
on miles-long fencing jobs and temp housing. It's getting very
interesting nowadays. Stay tuned.


MREs...that makes it a hell of a lot easier than constant
rotation..which is something you have to do. Oldest stuff always is
moved to the front and consumed.

MREs only cost $12/meal, too. ChaFreakin'CHING. Can handling shelves
take care of the rotation. You also know that expiration dates are a
figment of the government's imagination, don't you? The 2 year date
was picked out of thin air. I doubled the footage of my garden this
year, and will double it again next year. And I'll be taking 2 more
smallish trees down to provide more sunlight to the west.


Buy ONLY what you will eat. Buy what you normally eat. Keep some

Right.


really long storage stuff at hand though..things like instant oatmeal,
honey, noodles, rice, beans etc..the dried stuff that will last 5+
yrs.

10-25 years, y'mean.


Snag a big handful of mustard, ketchup, salt and pepper packs from the
fast food joints every time you go in there...put em in jars and seal
em..with a date. They are good for about a year-18 months at most..so
consume em as you eat.

Nah. Condiments become luxuries when the **** hits the fan. Herbs
and spices, on the other hand, become crucial. I keep lots of both.
Garlic, pepper, and other most-used spices by the pound, sealed in
mylar with oxygen absorbers.


We have been doing this sort of thing for 30 yrs..works for us..and we
can get by with little money ..which is a good thing with this
economy.

I have a bunch of #10 cans of Stuff that we put up in 1999. Most of
it is still good. Various types of flour, beans, rice etc etc..all of
it packed in cans and filled with Argon before sealing.

We also do a fair amount of canning a couple times a year. We do live
in one of the agricultural capitals of the US...Central California. We
drive out to the packing sheds and buy in bulk. 200lbs of potatos for
$5, right out of the field. Carrots by the truckload, onions etc etc.
We dehydrate a lot of that stuff. It takes very little effort to
do..and once we fill the dehydrators...it does all the hard work for
us..we simply empty them into Mason jars, give em a flush with argon
and put the lids on. Or make up chillie sauces, refried beans,
carrots, pickles, peppers, etc etc and then can them..but it is a bit
of work to do 25 quarts at a time. But it will keep for 2-3 yrs if
done properly

I'm learning pickling and fermenting right now.
