Great advice in this thread. Especially regarding MREs. The fastest way to fuck yourself up on a number of fronts is to try to eat MREs long-term. They're expensive and have way too many calories.

One other bit of advice is that no matter what you land on for a food cache, the most important thing is to not tell anyone about it. Don't show it off. Don't mention it. You don't have shit. If you go around talking about it (even offhandedly) the best case scenario is that you'll have a friend knocking on your door begging. Worst case scenario is that it's not a friend, and they knock your door off the hinges. Starving people are desperate. Desperate people are dangerous. Especially if they're trying to keep children alive.

Keep some goats. Very low maintenance, hardy, eat almost anything, provide milk and meat.
The perfect animal for the post-apocalypse.

Chickens as well since they eat almost anything and are nasty lil bastards if tucked into a corner. But no milk instead you get eggs.

Ironically places like Menards has decent stuff like I’ve seen Lasagna kits for the apocalypse. Bonus of that store is 11% off everything so you can save money on shit like gas stoves n crap.

Keep a fat person on hand so when they die you can use their fat to keep you warm.

I have can and MREs for a couple of weak. the plan is for the worst case is easy, wait till the fallout is settled, than make a run for our summer home at the sea.
Its a couple of days of traveling by foot and less by boat or bike. the sea is rich enough to feed me and all family members from other areas who make it.
