I want to order some emergency food buckets. Any recs on this? I'm just preparing somewhat for Joe Bidens continuous ruination of our great country. It's sad that I actually have to think about this. Is anyone else doing this. I already have canned goods, dried fruits, canned meats and tons of drinking water. Also ordered six Life Straws. Not trying to go overboard. I just want to be somewhat prepared.

I can eat for 3 months on the cans of sardines and Vienna sausages scattered throughout my hunting suburban. I’m ready.

Go outside and look around. Everything is fine.

Only people that are overreacting to supply chain issues that presidents don't have all that much control over.

i bought 6 months worth from my patriot supply. have also stored up beans, rice, canned meats, canned veggies, canned fruits, and about 500 rolls of paper towels and toilet paper. Have common meds and a few years worth of soft contacts. Call me what you want, but if anything happens, i'm ready. me, my wife, and 3 kids will be somewhat ok. if it never does, i spent $1,500 on stuff that i'm thankful i never had to use. cheap insurance.

I was looking into those premade emergency food deals but it's all so expensive. I know if you divide it out by meals it's not that bad but in all likelyhood it's food that I'm probably never going to eat.

Instead I went to Costco and bought a big bag of rice and a bunch of canned chicken and other stuff with long shelf life. I just use it as I go and keep it well stocked. We're probably good for a couple of months if everything goes to hell. More if we ration it.

I don't think rice has that long of a shelf life

Over 20 years if properly stored. If you need it for longer than that you’re screwed in so many more ways.

What do you think is going to happen to warrant such stockpiling?

I use it as we go. It’s so cheap even if I couldn’t use it all it’s worth having just for the peace of mind.

The only "stockpile" I have is what I've put up in my freezer and pantry from my garden in canned goods.

I'm not much a believer in the whole "Doomsday" scenario, so no stockpiling of freeze dried survivalist crap in this household.

As it stands right now, I probably have a couple months supply of food on hand.

We signed up to get the free school lunch supplement when the kids were virtual and we keep getting the boxes every week even though we told them we dont need it anymore. We gave most of our stockpile away to the food bank but I keep about a 3 month supply on hand now just in case.

Is most of that stuff not perishable?
