Freezers require electricity. Freeze-dried, canned and dehydrated foods, along with dry beans and canning might make more sense.

With all of the hunting that we do, I buy very little beef. I am canning more and more meat ... it is actually quite delicious if you take the time to do it with a good stock and the right spices. But with a windmill and backup generator, all of my freezers are still full.

Instead of ripping Sarah, the lame stream media will be asking her about some hunting tips.

I know an old man, he's 88, he told me that during the Great Depression, he and his brothers had to take their .22LR rifles and go hunting for anything to eat, rabbit, squirrel, groundhogs, etc. He told me that if they did not bag anything, they did not eat lunch, and sometimes, dinner, for that day. He was in World War II in the Pacific and was at Tinian when the Enola Gay took off. He remembers them loading the A-Bomb aboard although at that time, they had it under cover, but he was within 100 feet of the plane and A-Bomb itself. When the Enola Gay got back, he served Colonial Tibbets in the officer's club. HE also remembers seeing Bocks Car as well.

My friend was hospitalized and unfortunately, he is under hospice care since his cancer has spread, but still, at this time, he is driving around and still goes to work.

Getting back to the subject, we might have to go shooting to eat again, perhaps it is a good idea, we have too many deer and groundhogs here in Southwest Pennsylvania.

With prices of farm land so low, it's TIME TO BUY even if you leave it fallow.

ESPECIALLY if you can do it with 4.5% borrowed money.

It's the can't lose investment of the next 30 years.

High food and high gas prices will not stand. Obummer will not be able to sell this crap as the new norm. Inflation is not a good thing.

Watch all the Ethanol subsidies disappear for food production and drilling start up everywhere. This is the start of the ‘12 election cycle and the politicians will be in panic mode. High unemployment helped us get rid of Pelosi in ‘10, this will get rid of the rest.

.22 LR still isn’t too expensive at Wal-Mart. Might have to go get some, although I don’t currently have a rifle. Ex-wife forced me to sell my Marlin and a really nice Winchester Model 50 shotgun that I picked up for only $75.

I saw a cookbook once with recipe for Skunk.

You are canning meats and I am wondering how long and at what pressure setting do you preserve your meats?

[jonrick46]

I was in Safeway last night. A head of cauliflower was $2.99/lb. I weighed a head of cauliflower. It was 2 lbs. That’s almost $6.00 for a head of cauliflower! They are testing the marketplace right now.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

Most all meats can be canned by raw pack method or hot pack. Times vary with the method. Times vary on boned vs. boneless meats. Quarts vs. pints makes times vary. Most all meat is canned at 10 lbs. of pressure for somewhere between 1 and 2 hours.

Very detailed instructions and recipes are available in the Ball Blue Book of Preserving, which is how I learned to can, dehydrate, freeze and otherwise preserve most any kind of food. At around $8, you can't beat the price.

[jonrick46]

Thank you. I am getting my canning jars ready for action.

My mother-in-law is also 88. They got one bullet and they didn’t get another until they came home with something so if you missed you got pretty inventive. I’ve never seen her miss a shot whether she is using a pistol or a rifle.

[Rabin]

Now M

Any fool can serve up a lib. Problem is, some is kinda scroungy and others are out and out plump. How to bake baste and season, soas to be palatable.

rab can but wounder.

“....he’s 88, he told me that during the Great Depression, he and his brothers had to take their .22LR rifles....”

My dad grew up during the Great Depression along with his 13
his brothers and sisters on a farm(cheap labor). After the depression, he refused to eat corn.

This is going to spur on a lot of local farmers and large (or larger) gardens.

Watch all the Ethanol subsidies disappear for food production and drilling start up everywhere.

I wish you were right, but politicians get very stupid when serious inflation hits. They are more likely to blame business and to impose price controls on us,

At that point, you'll see a whole raft of FReepers defending inflation and pointing out how they are paying back their debt with cheaper dollars. Meanwhile, the media will tell us that we need inflation to "jumpstart" the economy, but that it's time we raise the minimum wage so the poor don't fall behind.

Sorry to sound so negative, but it's what happened in the seventies and I can't see that we've learned much since then. May the congressional Republicans prove me wrong.

Please.

The recipe for skunk should work...

But Obama wants to outlaw home gardens with more food regulation. Piven and Cloward!

I have a freezer, a foodsaver with bags and mason jars, I dry my spices and cherry tomatoes; have a 50 x 50 garden, work full time plus a part time job, am remodeling our dump, err I mean fixer upper. Am on a well, have a backup generator, do canning. Trying to talk hubby into a windmill but we live on a stupid wetland that’s “archeologically sensitive” whatever the heck that means. We burn wood exclusively for heat and have no a/c.

The day any fed tries to outlaw my garden, they will be having a talk with Mr. Remington. Oh and we live in communist NYS (upstate which is mostly conservative but gets outvoted by the downstate libs)

I believe the DEC is trying to outlaw wood burning entirely here.
