Pretty neat. Wonder how I missed that with all my prep research and buying. My life post-survival will be much happier with cornbread! I'll have to look into storing some myself since I'm cheap and still have some mylar bags and oxygen absorbers left. Just need a bucket. For some reason, I thought cornmeal had something in it, like fat, that would go rancid. Glad I was wrong ;)

I tell ya, those of us that can bake bread from scratch, sew on a button or stitch up a wound and grow our own food are going to be at the TOP of the ‘New & Improved Food Chain’ WTSHTF!

This girl is banking on it! They will welcome me as their new Overlord! (Overlady? LOL!)

I’ve been reading FerFAL for years. It was his recommendations that led me to purchase the Glock before all other firearms about 5 years ago. In a nutshell he said when shtf you must have a concealed firearm to go anywhere. A rifle or a shotgun draws attention from both bad guys who want it and “officials” who’ll take it. He recommended a semi auto pistol above a revolver because if you get into a firefight while driving, reloading a revolver is difficult. Common sense stuff, but I hadn’t thought of many of his real world scenarios - stuff he learned the hard way. He certainly endorsed owing a shotgun and rifle (which I do), but he taught me about priorities and keeping a low profile in a world where it will be better to blend in with the crowd rather than stand out as a target. He said the MZBs will overlook the homeless looking guy in favor of robbing the guy decked out in full camu with cool toys every time. The best camuflauge is to blend in with the other bedraggeled poor smucks.
