What the hell!
I havd never heard of such a thing. Good Lord!
Gah!
The nurse also told the outlet that Brown mentioned her family had a taxidermy shop, where she said she intended to preserve the foot and put it on display with a sign that reads, āwear your boots kids.ā
The Preppers Were Right All Along
I have yet to invest in survival food products myself, in part because Iām optimistic enough to believe that we wonāt need them. But I know a growing number of people buying into the survival food trend. Iād first heard about ReadyWise from my cousin-in-law, a former cop in Zionsville, Indiana, who had stashed a supply of the startupās products in his basement that could sustain his family for six months. My stepbrother, a business executive who lives in downtown Washington, has invested in a one-year supply of drinking water and long-storage food. And my brother, a leading climate scientist, has also begun building a supply in the basement of his West Virginia cabin. He reminds me regularly that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts an increase in average global temperatures of at least 4 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of this century. āI canāt imagine anything worse than not being able to feed my kids,ā he told me. āAnd the probability of major environmental interruptions in our food supply in our lifetimes is, by almost all accounts, rising.ā
As a friend says - you donāt need those expensive kits for everything - buy in bulk and rotate it out. A 25 lb bag of rice and beans etc.
Iād go with a good water filter rather than trying to store a years worth. But I live apartment style.
We got life straws, including one of the big hanging ones, after the big Texas freeze. In case that happens again and the water goes out.
And spices! That emergency food will be pretty bland without them.
Welcome to the desert of the bland!
Itās the rotating out that gets fun; weāre still working through the COVID supplies. I advertised Saturdayās dinner as āPois Chiches in a tomato ratatouille with seasoned beef and freshly ground spices.ā
The kids call it āBombshelter Beansā.
āSeasoned Beefā ā Corned Beef. I opened a can a while back only to have my daughter complain that it smelled like cat foot. I protested that the British Empire was built on such hearty fare, only to look down to see a drooling cat at my feet.
You know weāre near the end when the cats go cannibal.
If you have access to creek or river water (or a spring) the Big Berkey fliters are excellent. A bit pricy, but worth it.
I picked up one of these when the pandemic started. In case Iām traveling. Or on the run from the authorities.
Dehydrated food wonāt mean much without potable water, which will be (in some cases already is) the first thing to go.
One way to survive on seawater:
If Iām going to take a long ocean sail - Iād rather make sure the ship was properly equipped.
