*Opinions on preparedness*
I wrote an article about preparedness a while back. Since then I’ve gotten some feedback. I’ve had several people who asked me where I can get 2 weeks of food for $20.00. Well I forgot to take into account price increases. Two weeks of food for me alone actually cost $21.89. For those who want to know what the menu is, here is the picture.
6, 1 lb. 3 oz. cans of chili
2, 1 lb. 5 oz. Cans of beef stew
2 12-oz. cans of virginia baked ham
1 15-oz. can of refried beans
1 bag of 10, 10 inch flour tortillas
3 boxes of saltines crackers
2 cases of ramen noodles, 1 case beef, 1 case chicken
You’re not going to be eating like a king, but you are going to be fed. Like I wrote in the original article, you’re not going to be doing much waiting for water to recede, or roads to get opened, so you don’t need a full menu. I’ve subsisted on this menu for almost a month before, so I’m not blowing my own horn. It’s boring and monotonous, but it is inexpensive and filling. And please, if you are going to write me e-mail, I’ll answer any reasoned and courteous e-mail, I will not answer e-mails where I’m treated or referred to rudely.
