I am not a
zombie prepper, and I don’t believe I need to prepare for the apocalypse; but I
am witnessing unprecedented climate events and even more severe events
projected for the future.
I think it
is reasonable to expect severe weather conditions at some point to disrupt the
food/necessities supply chains as happened during the pandemic.
It seems
reasonable if everyone, who can afford to, consider keeping a three-month supply
of basic food/necessities above their normal daily/weekly needs.
This said, most
people purchase fresh meat as needed.
For several years, my wife and I have been vacuum-sealing our meats using a Food Saver vacuum sealer.
We quick-freeze our
meats for a few hours or a day and then vacuum-seal the frozen meats. Our meats last easily up to three months
without frost burn or loss of flavor. We
buy salmon, pork, chicken, and beef when it is on sale in quantities suitable
for us. We freeze fruits and berries in season for vacuum sealing.
You can also
vacuum pack beans, coffee, popcorn, – almost any dry food, extending the use
time almost indefinitely.
I don’t
advertise for any company, but the Food Saver we bought through Walmart online,
and rolls of vacuum sealing material we buy on eBay have worked flawlessly for
us.
It might be
useful if each of us through our blogs posts tips that might be useful during these unprecedented
times and the uncertain future.
We were
warned by scientists about climate change, but people chose not to listen. It turns out that science is real whether or
not you believe in it.
