If you’re not in a community sustainable situation with other folks within a 6-12 month period you’re screwed. Preps are just to buy time while the world goes to Hell and starts sorting itself out. Agreed. I'm just taking a stab at why that figure might have come forward. Aside from the economic and space issues, two years is getting into the 'long-term' side of things where you have to do more than just toss a bunch of macaroni on the shelf and blow the dust off the box before you use it. Only a few of us whackos have taken the time to figure that out ahead of time. Those who try to do it on MRE's and Mountain House are going to be a crabby (and constipated) bunch if they manage to make it, and probably among the first anybody who's actually producing food by that time better start watching out for. |

Realistically, unless you live on some acreage, 2 years of food stores is not practical.
We've got maybe a month stored, but I have kids and grandkids in the area. I'd rather starve myself than them. I hope I don't get to the point that I'm willing to shoot others for their food. When it gets that bad, we will need a leader that can save the whole world. And then Jesus comes back!

If you need to have a stockpile for 2 years, we’re fucked and there is no way people are not coming to you for food if it got that bad. You can move out of the city but the city will come to you although its a better position to be out of the city cause out in the country will be the last stop.

Lots of different opinions here. I think no one really knows what will happen if there are shortages of food, including me.
But I have prepped to some degree. I know where to obtain water if needed, and how to process water so it is safe to drink. I also have dried beans stored in Kerr jars in sufficient amounts to feed several people for at least 2-years, along with spam and other canned meats and foods. I also have a good supply of paste. Of course I have firearms and ammo. The food gets rotated so it never goes bad. Added: We also have several pecan trees, two apple trees, and the rural low density neighborhood I live in has many persimmon trees. These would be limited sources of food. This is about as much as I am prepared. |

People we take in had better have things to contribute. I’m making very tasty bacon and breakfast sausage for right at $2.00 per pound. There is no way I could stock 2 years of what I need.

Hahaha! Had me laughing out loud on the water! Can you imagine how many 55 gallon drums you would need? If you wanted to store it all? That's why the war journalist/photographer was pushing water treatment. Such a high percentage of people die from drinking or cooking with bad water, and end up shitting themselves to death.

Water treatment is one of the things I have been stacking deep. Especially ways to purify water that don't require manual intervention. |
