I would guess most people who say they have food to last X number of months/years...probably only have 1/4 of that...if that.

I think I could go days on end...eating one meal a day. But it's still more than a couple cans a beans.

Let's say two can's a beans, and two cans of spam...a day. Yeah, I know...not a great meal. HA!

Anyway...a person could "survive" on that for a year..but that's 730 some cans of beans..and 365 cans of spam.

That's a lot of cans!!

Wish I had a better answer..........

“I think I could go days on end...eating one meal a day. But it’s still more than a couple cans a beans.”

Have you tried? While doing any kind of hard work?

Most men need at least 2000 calories a day. If you’re doing hard work it goes up to 3000 calories easy. A 28oz can of Bush’s baked beans has 840 calories. Beans that you puke up because you’re sick of em don’t count.

I wish you had a better answer too.

A few chickens can subsist on bugs, grass and scraps and will lay eggs in the spring and summer months. Hens do not have to have a rooster to lay eggs, but a rooster will ensure chicks. Likewise if you have a little land, a goat or 2 will provide a quart of milk a day and that provides cheese, yogurt or butter.

We got chickens this spring and they are pretty interesting pets. They also can provide hatching eggs and chicks for barter.
