Dehydrated tomatoes? In the biz, we call that sun-dried tomatoes (and they may actually be, I make some), and charge extra for them. Google recipes for sun dried tomatoes. Zillions of 'em.
Polenta with sun dried tomato sauce makes a lot more money than grits with dried tomato sauce. But you use the same ingredients.

I don’t know, there are some family members I’d eat before the pets.
Just kidding....

But now you got women who want a nice hot bath!Nyet, nyet, nyet! I am a single celibate. I've lost all the ex-wives. No one in this house wants a hot bath besides me.
And you can bathe in warm lake water. You don't need potable water for bathing.
You just need potable water for eating, brushing teef (if you can find them), etc...

Long pig is not safe. I don't recommend it. Best to let them just fail in situ. I know I will with a few of my family. Too bad, so sad. And I won't cry like I would over Sky and Ky.
And I'm not kidding.

I'm impressed! Do you have a Culinary Degree or are you just a foodie?
To help keep your mirepoix fresh try and get your hands on “stor it” produce bags. These bags are designed to remove ethylene gas (released by aging/old produce) and let the produce “breath.”
They work great! I can julienne several bell peppers and just grab a handful as needed. Really keeps them fresh...for weeks!
You live in Ca right? I bought them at Dollar Tree for...ya, a dollar. Also FRiends, see the link.
These can be cleaned out and used over and over. Make sure you get all the air out each time though.

Dont forget matches, toilet paper, a way to purify water, etc. And tobacco seeds, parts for a still....
Actually, one of my plans is to put together enough stuff to get buy for a month if i was cut off from power, gas, and running water for a month.

I saw your reference to a still, and I want to put in a plug for Steve Harris’ tabletop still.
Plug it in, leave it run unattended for hours, no tending the temperature, etc.

Tomatoes will react to metal. I cooked some sauce in a metal pan and it ate through and left it shiny under the sauce level to the shiny metal. So fast. Weirdest thing I ever saw. Threw the pan out immediately. I learned years ago that tomato juice tastes tastes like the can if it’s canned so buy it bottled in plastic now.
I haven’t had any problems with canned tomoates but I’ve recently started buying tomato sauce in the new paper cartons like some chicken broth comes in. Of course, the boxes aren’t as sturdy or probably not as long a shelf life due to leaks but the paper is coated with a wax.
As Sarajevo said, canning your own in glass jars would eliminate the reaction problem. However, I’ve seen older jars of anything containing an acid will begin to pit and discolor the lids. Fruit juices and jellies will do this. Remember, tomatoes are fruit.

I dont know, there are some family members Id eat before the pets. True, but when the SHTF event occurs, anyone with pets should consider themselves a "Rancher".

As would be the work of burying hundreds of bodies. Gentlemen:
Let me introduce you to a simple method of body disposal;
STEP 1 of 2) BUY WOODCHIPPER, FUEL, Stabilizer;
Step 2 of 2) BACK IT UP TO A CATFISH POND!
END RESULT: GREAT TASTING CATFISH!

RE: "the wounded attackers"
"That's when a good knife comes in handy...it saves on ammo. "Having seen battlefield wounded Abu Sayef in the Phillipines during Operation Freedom Eagle and Al-Shabaab/ICU on "the Horn", I can tell you this: I will NEVER, EVER approach a wounded human that was attacking me
You either dispatch them with a bayonet or better yet, a hatchet/axe to the head if they are unconcious, or at range with a firearm if semi-concious.
There is no more dangerous organism on earth than a wounded human. Superhuman strength, knowledge of impending death, and just plain primal meaness wanting to finish their mission on taking you out. Never give them a chance. NEVER.
The only caveat is if you absolutely need intel from them; if so, you better brush up on your EPW search/security techniques....and be in top physical shape to restrain someone that comes out of an adrenaline-filled last bolt of life!

In the military we called it PPPPPP - Prior Planning Prevents Piddly Poor Performance. A plan allows you to focus on the critical issues first and not get lost on the bunny trails of less essential issues.

Seems like a bow or crossbow might be useful for this.

Anyone see the “Hamish Macbeth” (Brit TV series) episode “The Great Lochdubh Salt Robbery”? (season 1 ep 1)
Illegal lobster farming and a disappearing local bully.
Hysterical.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0595606/
Great series, but the darn Scots are so hard to understand.
