Agree with all except #4. *I* need to be able to find our stuff in an emergency, when I’m rattled and full of adrenalin! LOL! And if I’m out of the pic and spouse needs to carry on without me, how’s he supposed to know what’s where without some labels?

The other is good advice, though. I would never discuss this stuff on FB or with outsiders who could actually find me. (I hope Freerepublic is anonymous enough to discuss this stuff! I hope.)

2.Keep your prepping to yourself.

I have to take some exception to that. I am part of a small group that shares produce and canned goods. We often talk about prepping and look at each others strong points in case a need would arise.

4.Make sure boxes are not labeled

I don't think it hurts to have 7-10 days of EMERGENCY FOOD clearly labeled. Opsec is difficult under stress, especially if there is a partial sense of normality and order. If word leaks out that you are hording food, and if Dear Leader's minions come after it, it's best to hand over your emergency food for sharing with those less fortunate. They'll search until they find it. If they find enough to be believable, they'll eventually stop looking and go harass someone else.

Very first thing to remember is that any Marxist or Communist pogrom requires the willing acceptance of the people to embrace its policies.

Obama is as sure as rain making America desperate for any Federal bailout just as if the Feds were handing out free cocaine on the street corners.

When the people have no other recourse to depend on the Feds for food then they will not be open or willing to overthrow suc said Marxist empire.

Watch for when peoples at home gardens are being razed, look for when sales of prepper food is taxed exclusively, or requires photo ID to be entered into a database.

I fully expect Obama is put a very strong presence of ferreting out millions of preppers and hoarders, because they by their acts are a boulder in the road to socialism. And Obama cannot have that.

OPSEC is wise to use and possibly a better tactic to laugh in their faces, to openly declare hoading all across America, to hoard every minute, to hoard every day, your sons and daughters are hoarding, granny is hoarding, even Fido is hoarding his favorite pet food, the parakeet is hoarding.

We are a hoarding nation unified against Obama. His statue may be in gold but his feet is clay and it will erode his base and it will topple.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good cookbook showing a variety of recipe’s using long term storage foodstuffs? If a person had to live off their stored supply for a year or two, it would be good to have a cookbook showing various dishes using the same goods over and over but in different combinations and dishes.
