Severe trouble ahead, community suggestions to get through

Mormoms/Church of Latter Day Saints, and its one years worth that is recommended.

hmm - heard of a group that said 6 months too - but still, we should ask them about storage, and what food items, etc - unless someone knows of a website with this info on it?

Just one of those good info things to have.

I know a few, but have been asked not to post them in public domain. PM if you want.

I wish all churches put food storage as a priority and had small food banks. If truely long storage is the issue, whole wheats (uncracked seeds) have been genminated from seeds found in the pyramids (maybe 2000 yrs old?). The biggest problem becomes those with gluten intolerance or allergies, but there are many other alternatives. If you grind your own wheat, combine with other types for flour, 20% protein content is possible. Now you can see why bread and water could sustain someone for a long time.

If you aren't into grind your own, most canned goods last a very long time, but always seek the cool dry place for maximum life.

Badger - will do.

Home canned or factory canned, or does it depend? Because I've had some factory canned things that weren't even to their suggested date yet that were clearly over the edge, and have had some home canned jelly that lasted ...7 years. (Had to think on that, cause I had to date last time I made strawberry jelly and some apple butter.)

On that note, some of us through FB are talking about making an apple run in 2 -3 weeks when the apples are ready. It's starting to look like a convoy, since lots of people want in on it. Any takers?

Lemmee go look up the details...

Have to ask wife on apples, we're partial to Fuji now. Just got peaches, the pie barely cools before being attacked. Have some canned (actually jars of produce) fruits already. I don't prefer the store bought mass produced canned foods as I don't trust the very un-natural preservatives used, but always have some. www.grandpappy.info/hshelff.htm

Ok - like close to Labor day - these are the apple types - Fuji, Golden Delicious, Gala, Granny Smith, Jonagold, Jonathan, MacIntosh, Pink Lady and Rome.

I've sent an email asking about pricing - will report back when I get an answer. They sell by the peck and by the bushel.
