I bought a Solo Stove Titan, SS pot, and collapsible tripod...

Got some more FDM's in overpacks for the road... 6 days for 1 people, 12 for 2 persons, and can be stretched with other things.



They'll go in an out of the way place near the front of the vehicle tub.

They actually aren't too bad. Much better than MRE's.

Nah, they aint bad at all! My son, me, and several of my friends LOVE the lasagna, better than Stouffers lol. I take those things camping with me when backpacking.

About 3.5 kg per tub of x6 meal days and last for 5+ years. Technically, they'll last forever as long as their individual packaging doesn't let the nitrogen out.



I'd rather carry my water apart, keep the weight down, and blend when necessary. Allows me to keep 90 litres of potable water on board and 140 litres of diesel without weighing the vehicle down significantly.



Still keep a 40 litre Engel, battery bank, and 200 watt solar blanket for fresh foods.



Everything has to fulfill at least 2 if not 4 functions, interchangeably where possible and I gut weight where possible.

Bought a few more buckets of the stuff tonight... heavily discounted. I won't be buying any more for 4-8 weeks since I've blown the monthly budget now locking in the discount.



They're not the be all and end all, but they're long life and shelf stable/nutritious easy serves with boiled water.



Leading into November, I don't know if they'll be a future buying option at this point. We'll see what the US election brings and the violence and logistics disruptions, if any...

Jesus H brother, you are preparing for a global civil war.

I smell worse things to come.



I hope my gut instincts are wrong. There's just something in it that says keep the kid's bellies full no matter what and no matter where...



Buying non perishable shelf stuff from the supermarket only goes so far. We probably have 6-12 months worth on our shelves, but in the absence of power in a few 40-45C summer days, shit warms up and starts popping/spoiling....plus liquid weights can't be moved easily.



Those buckets are if we have to leave...

I have 2 months of food. Close to 3 if I count the beans and rice.



Good lookin' out DD, I have this awful feeling as well.



Better prepared than not.

Beans, rice, pasta, and other dried legumes are important staples...

Are you anticipating some unrest too Blazor?



Is it because of the federal election in your country?

I have all those  



Lots of dehydrated taters too lol.

We should all watching the US election closely, Fash.... it can plunge numerous countries into recession, depression, and in some cases insurrection.



Antifa, BLM, and Socialists (communists) don't recognise national borders and so shouldn't we rely on those same borders to keep out or contain strife...

Instant mash.... yes, I'm ashamed to say I don't mind it at all with a generous knob of butter or ghee mixed through the hot water and powder....and it lasts for years and is cheap....

Indeed.



I think Trump is gonna win. If he does, the Left will lose its mind even more than it has already. I think the major cities will have rampant Burning, Looting, and Murdering. The scale of which is yet to be seen, if its minor, all might be ok, if its major, we can expect several outcomes. If major, Martial Law might be enacted. Supply lines of food and such will be disrupted. Police are already at a breaking point, the line keeps getting thinner. If Biden wins, and it winds up being voter fraud, you'll have some angry patriots, but I doubt it will be the level the Left will take it to, even on the minor side.



The TP aisle is already empty. The media said something about stocking of goods, so once the general public has been alerted, people have been throwing tons of food and such in their carts, like dozens of boxes of mac and cheese and such. You cant find ammo anywhere. My poor cousin, had none, but the gun dealer said he had personal stock and sold him 9 bullets for $18 for his pistol, crazy.
