Are you apocolypse ready?

[lechat]

I think you misunderstood your Grandma. Your Grandpa wasn't preparing for a war like Ragnarok, he was probably just thinking of WWII and rationing. A lot of people could have lived much better lives during that time if they'd had the foresight to hoard a couple of years of provisions. Just hundred or so tins of canned butter could have bought you a car.

No, I know why he did it Grandma herself said that if we ever go to war (the WWII kind), she'll be growing potatoes in our cabin in the countryside. Granpa passed away ten years ago. I don't know what became of his rations.

Maybe now that no one remembers the war anymore, no one hoards canned food? So I really do have to find someone to make me sammiches.

Your grandparents sound like exceptional people, and I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. I think we're all going to have to hunt for sammys.

Im starting to think maybe I should start a little hoard for realsies next time canned goods I like are on special... I am an optimist who hopes wars like we used to have are over, but You never know whats going to happen in the future.

I think if you keep it within reason, it can't hurt, and can only help. I don't have room to do it right now, but I would if I could. If all goes well a year before the expiration date on all of the cans you just donate the lot of it to a food bank or shelter and replace it. You might have to do that a dozen times in your life, so it's not a big burden and at best it ends up being a kind of ongoing charity. At worst, you have something against hard times.

no reason to donate to charity, just rotate your stock so you eat the food before it expires and buy new cans to replace it.

I have already made piece with resorting to cannibalism. So much so they I already view large people as future meals. I'm just waiting for the elite's to kick off the banquet when they choose to exterminate the rest of us. Not that I have any allusions of surviving long term in such an event. They have had far too long to plan it for them to overlook something that would allow someone like me to survive.
