Re: Post your Preps/Tips and ideas.
For anyone talking about buying canned goods, DO NOT run out and buy a bunch of #10 cans of stuff unless you are able to use the contents of that can within 1 or 2 meals. Especially if you're talking about a time frame where you won't have power for fridges.
Also, if you're buying flour and such with the idea of making bread, don't forget the yeast. I like Red Star yeast that comes in 2lb packages. I'll open a package and store it in a mason jar in the fridge, it would probably keep on the shelf too that way, but I just keep it in the fridge. I've gone through jars that lasted over a year that way. I normally use 1tbsp in whatever I'm making whether it's bread or pizza dough.
If you've never made bread from scratch before, don't wait until you need it to try and figure out how to do it. Now is the time to practice making it. If your plan is to make bread make sure you include high gluten flour amongst your supplies. You can make bread with AP flour but it just isn't the same.Rules are written in the stone,

I just did a quick check of meal storage sites and they're all being hammered. A lot out of stock. Saying "shipping in 45 days."

Re: Post your Preps/Tips and ideas.
To be clear, for me, this isn't about corona virus. It's something I have been thinking about for a while, though I guess I picked the worst time to bring it into action.
My goal is just to have a decent stoclpile of food that will keep. Just in case the supermarket supply chain should get interrupted for some reason, or if we needed to hunker down for a bit. Portability is no issue, as I have no bug out plan.
I've got kids so, white rice and sardines aren't likely to be used in anyhing but the most dire of circumstances.
I was thinking something like a moderate stockpile of canned vegetables, soups, tuna, chilli, possibly some peanut butter, depending on the shelf life.
I'm pretty stocked on water and ammo as it is.
