Do you have a doomsday stockpile? What's in it and what do you recommend?

Yes. Hell yes.
I have various foods (freeze dried mres and fresh stock that's rotated) to last me at least a couple months, plus I fish and hunt.

A week's worth of drinking water minimum (plus the ability to collect and purify about 250 gallons of rain water easily unless nukes happen), lots of ammunition for my rifles in 308 and 223 calibers (in a pinch they work in 7.62 and 5.56 nato firearms and the other way around), about 5,000 rounds of .22 for small game, plus a shotgun for close-up work.

Power banks (obviously) and several ways to charge them. I have a bunch of USB powered light bulbs in my stockpile so I can light up every room in the house for days on power banks alone. But obviously keep lights low to attract less attention.

Camping shower (tested with water heated on the oven, worked great), toilet paper, toothbrushes and extra toothpaste for basic sanitation. Alcohol, antibac, first aid supplies, matches, lighters, several years of firewood.... and an ethanol burner if firewood runs out or is unsafe to fetch or burn (smoke smells and is visible), a decent amount of cash money....

Comms: 5 handheld multi-band radio sets for local vhf and uhf communication, always charged. I am licensed for hunting and maritime frequencies. Also partnered up with an old ham licensed buddy a few miles away who has HF capability and can talk and message around the world on ham bands.

Add to that a few cans of fuel (gas/petrol for my cars, diesel for my boat), propane stoves for cooking, multiple solar panels and batteries (with 12V to mains inverter to keep the freezer and refrigerator running), a couple gasoline powered generators as backup.... you're starting to get the idea.

I keep a couple of 50 year old cars around too, they're in decent shape and no electronics so will work even if an emp or a solar storm messes with newer cars.

Larger items: an old fishing boat and a secluded mountain cabin in a very rural area that's full of deer.

No, I'm not American.

Definitely a casual prepper, I have about 300 cans of various beans and soups. Probably about 30k rounds of ammo

i always got a stocked pantry but i also have tons of disgusting shelf stable nutritionally balanced food powder mix stuff that i won't be tempted to eat unless i absolutely need to. week or two of water but i don't really trust that for long term storage.

is that a hack? that's just putting rice into a container. i did just learn about those mylar bags being iron-sealable thats pretty cool.

>>2907993
You can add about 20yrs to its shelf life so yeah.

>>2908002
idk if white rice even has a shelf life in proper conditions but its definitely a good thing to stash. got loads of that jasmine shit in my pantry year round, coffee can'd.

Rice, meat, canned veggies, lots and lots of rice.

>>2907990
Every time I see a random piece of information or advice billed as a "hAcK", I feel like punching drywall. That word has been used to hell and back again. It has lost all of its original meaning.
Is putting dry food in mylar bags a good idea? Sure, but it's not deep prepper lore or revolutionary knowledge. Calling it a "hack" while presenting it in a sped up, caption-heavy, vertically-filmed tik-tok style video will only appeal to the lowest rung of society, who I honestly don't know if I want to survive a SHTF scenario.

I bought over 100 humanitarian 24 hour meals.
They are pretty bland and boring but I guess if shit ever hits the fan I'm good for a bit
I also bought and dozen boxes of version 1.5 Onions nearly a decade ago.
That shit has long shelf life and only needs water. Good for basic sustinance.

>>2908614
>most neighbors are going to work together in the event of infrastructure breakdown.
Yeah, they're going to work together to take your shit.

I bought a prepper house a few years ago
Its still a work in progress but so far i have a reliable source of fresh clean water, several months supply of shelf stable and frozen food, pressure canner and 100s of mason jars and lids, wood burner with plenty of fuel
Im developing some old forgotten pasture land and am hoping to have a chickens by the end of this summer and an apiary next spring
I also am working on auxiliary power but dont have a timeline for that yet

>>2908612
Weird logic. You somehow acknowledge that people will live through whatever event you think will happen while also suggesting that it's a dumb idea to stock anything up at all.

i mean they flooded the market for a while, was there some big inventory shuffle or something? think there was some active refugee camp in new jersey for a while there, maybe that ended.

Where do you store all the food? I feel like the bunker needs to be a little longer to accommodate a table/chairs & some shelving. Other than that, it's pretty cool.

I have rice, beans, lentils and vitamins for 6 months, well for water, solar panels for electricity and firewood for winter. I also live in the safest spot of the safest country, with 100% white neighbors.

Needless to say, I wiped comfortably over the pandemic with the stockpile of toilet paper I'd bought two years beforehand.

>What's in it and what do you recommend?
Potable water and tradable women.

I have 2 10gal buckets of rice, 1 of lentils, 1 of kitty food (also for the dogs, but my cat needs the special low grain food and they can all just eat that in an emergency), and a box of 10 humanitarian aid MREs (vegetarian and no heaters). I also have some smaller buckets with sugar, coffee, and sealed salt and pepper. Lastly, I vacuum sealed some "mini filtered cigars" for an emergency. I quit smoking, but if there's an emergency, fuck it, I'll want a smoke.
I don't have it for "doomsday," just an emergency like a tornado where my home is destroyed and I won't have easy access to stores, freedom of movement, and assistance. I saw it happen to one of my cousins in Kentucky, he didn't eat for 2 days, couldn't travel because the roads were covered and his truck was destroyed, and aid was piss poor for the first week. What happened in North Carolina further cemented that I should have all this and I just got it all.

Every Mormon has a years supply of food. Theres more Mormons than jews in the world.

Ever seen those massive mormon google docs sheets documenting signs that the boogaloo is coming? I'm pretty sure they're the single most significant of prepper culture in the US.

Toss the ramen aside since it has almost no nutritional value.

How can you live as usual when all the stores close or aren't able to get their regular supplies? Keep in mind that can happen even if your city isn't under direct attack.

>>2909612
This is a good one. Thanks anon

>>2909864
why are they buying the smallest amounts of anything, not cost effective in the slightest, also significantly more pasta than meat, probably will need 2x those cans to get through half the top drawer.

>>2910414
You can eat pasta without meat

>>2908676
What will you do for protein?

Aussie here, biggest dangers I face are fires and storms/power outages, so I'm not a hardcore prepper. I do try and keep enough shit in my pantry to last at least a month though.
>at least one 10kg bag of rice in reserve, usually have another one open and in use, stored in sealed buckets to keep the bugs out
>couple kg flour (self raising and regular), sugar, and other baking stuff kept in sealed containers
>3-4 tins each of beans, lentils, mushrooms, corn, fruit, olives, etc
>7-8 tins of tomato
>couple kilos pasta
>10L olive oil
>a dozen large cans of various soups and baked beans
>couple kilos powdered milk
>couple kilos of mixed dried lentils/pearl barley for making soup and stew
>half a dozen cans of spam
>about the same in tuna
>60L of potable water in a few BPA-free containers
>teabags, lots of teabags
>candles, matches, gas bottle and a camping cooktop
>fresh veggies like onion, garlic, potatoes
Most of this stuff I rotate through on a 6-12 month basis, but some of it is really just there for "in case of emergency" that I wouldn't normally eat.

I also have a small hobby garden for various seasonal things and year-round herbs, but that's been relatively unsuccessful at producing much because I'm pretty new to it.

Happy to take any suggestions on what kind of additional things I might want to add, really not sure what I can use to substitute for eggs that can easily be stored unrefrigerated.

I also plan on getting a chest freezer to store bulk meat, so maybe I keep frozen eggs and milk in that too. My house has a solar/battery system so I can run independent of the grid, but if everyone else loses power it's going to impact shops and shit.

>>2910832
Oh, forgot to mention:
~2000 rounds of .22 LR

>>2908306
its a step above just throwing it into some plain ass container where the food could spoil in a few years vs lasting half a century
you might think "well theres no way i'll need it to last half a century in a survival situation" but preparation is multi-generational
your great-grandkids may very well see a shtf scenario and be greatful that you had something lying around in an attic somewhere after you're gone

>>2910869
a grain only diet sucks shit

>>2909858
bit of a hot take but i think lentils are shit for rations
they're healthy and make a damn good soup with just a little bit of ground beef, but the problem is that they take so long to boil
and in a situation where you're falling back on your prepper stores, you probably shouldnt waste that much fuel or energy on cooking a very basic soup
better to save it for making broth out of meats and rendering fat

>>2909864
most of those pasta boxes are just air

>>2910832
you could dry/cure/salt a lot of your meat and that should last atleast a year, and you can still freeze it

>>2910864
I keep my bulk staples like beans and grains in sealed buckets with oxygen absorbers and never had problems. After 5 years I'm starting to rotate through it and it's as good as when I packed it. I never bothered with the mylar or other bags because I stockpile what I normally eat so it will be rotated every few years instead of sitting around for decades.

>>2911030
Or you could stockpile what you normally eat and rotate through it, then teach your kids and grandkids to do the same.

>>2911033
Soak it overnight and it shouldn't take that long to cook.

>>2911036
This.
Also keep about 100 lbs of salt to preserve any fresh meat you might get later. A 5 gallon bucket holds about 50 # of salt.

>>2911033
You're supposed to precook lentils, then you can store those short term until you're ready to cook and eat them. Precooking takes 20min and proper cooking afterwards is ~15min. You can precook enough for a whole week.

This is what I do. Even if it doesn't rot, canned stuff tends to degrade after a few years. I make sure to eat anything that's approaching a year old.

what happened to nothing ever happens? If you live in the boondocks you ain't seeing any action. Supply chain won't be disrupted and probably there are more small power plants dispersed throughout the country that supply little villages.

I have one of these little hypochlorite generators.
If used with salt water and vinegar it makes hypochlorous acid (HOCl) which is a strong disinfectant.
At a concentration of just 0.02% it works better than rubbing alcohol while being safe enough to use on the eyes.

No they won't. This isn't your favourite zombie show.

>>2915109
When has that ever worked out in history? The people with guns will be guarding the food & farms in exchange for daily rations.

Either way the US has an incredible surplus of food. $180B of agricultural products are exported every year. The only way people will be going hungry is if there's some biblical disaster like nuclear carpet bombing or a pandemic that kills 70% of us.
Now those middle east and african countries that import 70% or more of their staple foods would be fucked.

>>2907779 (OP)

>>2907779 (OP)
>Do you have a doomsday stockpile? What's in it and what do you recommend?
rifle, bullets, some random food+drink, a wood stove and some random industrial/chemistry equipment. UV-5R and some spare batteries. $500 cash that i was too lazy to put in the bank.
I have long legs, good eyesight, good hearing and a decent enough noggin. It'll all be fine.

recommendation is to lose weight, get accustomed to not eating for long periods of time, put on some muscle and generally make yourself a resilient person. Go on long hikes with no food or water. Doesn't matter if you have all the shiny bullshit survival whatevers if you're a fat chainsmoking twat that can't hardly walk, and can't function if he hasn't had his 6 eggs for breakfast.

You might not gain as much muscle as you could, but losing fat is always good for you. Down to 15% bf at the bare minimum, ideally 12%

Oh you're a dumbass from /fit/. You don't gain a cut, you gain on a bulk. Dumbass. You're seeing more definition because you're losing fat, not because of muscle gain. And you're continually lifting during a cut so that you slow down muscle loss.

>>2916719
>>2916753

jfc, just buy canned stuff and rice just like any other prepper instead of this overpriced garbage. If you really want food to put back for basically eternity, invest in a freeze drier and freeze dry the foods you like.

>>2907990
jfc, you don't need to put rice and beans in mylar (nor oxygen absorbers). All it does is give you some additional protection. Preppers from the 90's are just now using their stored rice, and other than some discoloration from oxidation, it's still 100% edible. The mylar is just an extra layer of protection from bugs and moisture.

>>2917731
You're telling people to save money then turn around and say buy a freeze drier?

>>2907779 (OP)
Bought a cheap VHF handheld radio and configured it with local repeater stations and emergency frequencies.

I can't eat anything without potatoes.

>>2918407
Not a problem during summer, since we have lots of veggies on our property.
During winter, we can get eggs and meat from neighbors. Most older houses in this area also still have artesian wells.

If doomsday actually comes around, I think I'm OK just ending my run.
I'm not concerned with living enough to willingly spend the rest of my foreseeable time on earth holed up in a bunker defending my buckets of preservative-soaked nutrients from marauders.

>>2918638
You can buy better food you know

>have shipping container in the woods
>outfitted for part time living accommodations
>already store food there and only resupply it once every couple of months
>power doesn't go out because all on solar
>dirt bike + small fuel supply + many firearms

The problem with "prepping" is that it's not compatible with most people's everyday life.
It isn't useful at all until one day it could be.
I've incorporated survival based living into a large part of my life there is benefit for me to continue working towards independence from others unlike someone trying to do it in the city or something with a water bill with a sewer bill with a power bill.
There even if you /DIY/ your own utilities, you are required to continue paying for the city utilities regardless, there is no return for you and this is where people fail or fall off.
You have to fully commit and buy land and build it. If you have a neighbour within 1km, you are just doing it incorrectly. Even if there never is this apocalypse or something, you still have a cool weekend cabin or place you can take your kids to and raise them right with outdoor experiences.

>>2918863
What are you talking about? It can be done in a city.
>store healthy food items that you eat regularly anyway
>own a generator
What does paying utility bills have to do with anything?

>>2918863

Word.

Preparedness and Self-Reliance must be all-encompassing lifestyles if they actually expected to save, secure and survive anyone. our version is not perfect, has MANY potential flaws, but always a work-in-progress, evolving and changing as we learn and adapt.

you must be Master of your resources. you must have what/when others do not, and it MUST be free of strings. you must also have redundancy. one generator quickly becomes none.

we are well & septic. we'll is powered by a carefully chosen low watt pump of quality manufacture. we have a back-up pump in storage & are saving up for a second variable control system. we have a small whole-home solar power system that can carry 125% of our CRITICAL load (freezer, fridge, water well, water heater) with a battery backup. it is also *one-way* grid tied. we can recieve, but do not export. it runs 24/7 supplying about 30% of our daily consumption. our water heater and HVAC systems are heat pumps, so can be run on solar. we use woodstoves to heat our home, but have mini-splits as backup. we have a propane oven/range and a wood fired oven/range. we won't freeze & we can cook food if SHTF.

we have livestock for meat, dairy & compost. we keep a large garden and are always expanding our young orchard.

I am a tradeworker with countless skills & I keep a large (random) inventory of spare parts, machine components, fasteners and building supplies.

but perhaps more important than all of that is: WE LIVE DEBT FREE. if the bottom falls out of society, we own our shit & will defend it.

I've got enough milled grains, vegetable oil, and dried legumes and fruit for my household to survive on nothing else for about a year. I'm not gonna list all the nonfood stuff I've got, but I'm going to mention my most useful survival tool: A good reputation in a tight-knit small town.

Invest in food for a year, two at most, and beyond that in increasing order of importance: tools, skills, and community. A hoard of 25-year bags of commercial goyslop isn't going to save you indefinitely. If after a disaster or war your local community can't produce enough food to sustain itself and civilisation as a whole isn't at a point where it can help, your home is fucked for long term survival anyway and theres only so much food you can carry when you flee to somewhere sufficient crops can be grown.

If push comes to shove, you want to be the paragon of the community everyone looks to for survival until the spring crops, not the loner crank who sits in his home with half a metric ton of imitation macaroni and cheese who's just one poorly timed nap away from being a loot-crate for his increasingly desperate neighbours.

>>2907779 (OP)
I'm in the city, so I only prep for temporary store shortage, I just focus more on staying /fit/ because I'm not in a secure location, I own nothing more than what I can carry.

I stock my pantry with things I actually use, things that are better canned or are nutrient dense. Canned tomatoes and canned chicken stock,I some dried beans. I don't bother with canned beans as the take up the space for canned meat. If you have a bigger space, canned beans in addition to dried beans is a good idea as it takes water, heat and time to cook dry beans.

I try to go out into the suburbs where stock is actually rotated more often for canned meat with a longer shelf life so I don't have to eat it as often to rotate it, fresh meat is healthier.

I have two jugs of water I rotate out on my potted plants and water in the fridge, but I'm not going to buy bottled water as it's not something I'll rotate out, what dried beans I have can be cooked in canned tomatoes and/or chicken stock.

Why would the mylar bag be necessary? Most of those food safe buckets with a screw top have a gasket that makes them watertight. I know because I have some.

Why do you assume you'll be targeted?

>>2919002
Depends what kind of collapse you're anticipating
If you're anticipating something like the USSR collapse, society didn't really collapse completely, people just struggled a lot to feed themselves: one nigga with a gun and a lot of food is perfect
If you're anticipating something like the bronze age collapse, then yes you'll need more

>>2919973
True, if you have the right kind of lids the mylar isn't necessary.

The idea is to reduce your calorie needs while keeping as much strength as possible, not to become some hulking bodybuilder faggot. "Gainz" is secondary to surviving.

Ah yes, wheat, famously known for its nutritionally dense properties and not the reason sailors incurred scurvy on long voyages.

it is far cheaper to make your own stockpiles, as others have said in this thread, beans and rice are the ideal food stockpile, if you properly preserve them, beans and rice in mylar bags locked in an airtight container with the oxygen removed and kept in a cool place can last indefinitely, don't waste money on premade kits that will only last 5 years. you can live off of rice and beans with only minor supplements as well.

>buy 2 bags of rice

>rotate stock
>repeat for literally any food that does not spoil quickly
Survival MREs are dumb too unless you periodically eat them and buy new ones.

Also oxygen absorbers are designed to be used in humid storage and don't absorb well in low humidity. He's not wrong, because it will work a little and low oxygen + low humidity will give the longest shelf life. The rice would have already lasted decades with just being put into a mason jar.

>>2908010
Rice will slowly absorb moisture from the air each time you open the container, however we are talking years.

>>2910897
>Look up the nutritional value of ramen
Everyone should be supplemetnting with greens including wild greens, vegetables and meat. Having calories to avoid starvation is important because you can eat some dandelions at 25kcal/100g

>>2911030
100g of dry white rice is 350kcal and cooks 2:1 water. At 1000kcal a day for rice that is 300g / day per person. A year is 110kg. A koku is 187.5 kilograms of rough rice, 150 kg of brown rice, or 136.5 kg of milled rice. Which means my calculation is close.

Note that this rice needs to be supplemented with greens, meat and vegetables.

>>2911033
>but the problem is that they take so long to boil
They take the same time to cook as rice. You can drop them in the rice cooker with rice.

This is the correct answer. Functional communities with 24/7 security absolutely destroy raiders.

>>2915109
>The guys that stockpile guns will be making the rules in all honesty.
The guys who stockpile guns will be trading their guns and ammo for food with functional communities. Or they will die because literally everyone has guns and a few boxes of ammo.

>>2915469
Both scenarios are actually the same when you think about it, or at least the way I see it its about buying yourself time. In case of total collapse or civil war, you're prepping for the first few months so you can avoid getting caught up in riots and looting for food and necessities, and so you can have some time to figure out what exactly is happening or where to go.
If its some passing calamity (outages, natural disaster, etc), its still helping you avoid potential problems and means you can just keep your head down and be comfy until it blows over.

That's an over simplification, you certainly don't gain as much muscle on a sensible cut compared to a sensible bulk or staying the same, but you can put on muscle mass through the exercise even during a sensible cut (just not as much).

>>2916844
>>2927107
So the original posters way does check out to be the fastest possible way of getting into good shape from being fat, as opposed to eating the same calorific content whilst putting on muscle. But it adding to the complexity and also the difficulty of staying disciplined whilst eating less and gaining the habit of exercise might not make it the most realistic or best.

>>2915107
At least put it in vacuum sealed mason jars and rotate it through your pantry.
An expanded, rotating pantry is better than any larping bullshit like that.

This is basically how MREs are packaged.

You're right, because they are iron based. MREs still use oxygen absorbents in dry bags.

Not intentionally but when covmeme happened we had food enough for a year in our pantry, as usual.
