At least someone who is thinking.
I get a kick outta these who buy into the food storage thing when you can go down and buy pasta, canned goods, rice etc and put them on the shelf. If one persists, they can get a shrink wrap machine and simply do the very thing the food storage people do. Or a food dehydrator.
I get a kick outta these people who use terms like ‘shrink wrap machine’ and yet think they know what ‘preppers’ do.
A key in food prepping: stock what you’re going to eat anyway, and/or what you can afford to lose. Don’t stock what you’re not going to eat and wish you had the money instead.
How very ... well, uhm ... ignorant. What the heck are you going to do with a shrink wrap machine? Do you mean a vacuum sealer? If so, please tell me what it is you intend to 'shrink wrap' or dehydrate after the trucks quit running? Your local store will likely be empty in 24 hours or less.
Allow me to shed some light on 'prepared' for you: Trucks could stop tomorrow and my meals will not change in the least. I will have meat, vegetables, fruit, bread, milk, and everything else that I have available to me today.
Enjoy your rice and pasta. Hopefully you will have some clean water with which to cook them and the gas and/or electric to cook with.
