I think we are at a year's supply, or very close to it. hard to know, but that's what the church calculator told us.

So now we need to fine-tune it.

Anyone going to pursue getting food storage soon? Would like to keep up with your progress.

Mine is close to 6 months right now. I need to do a better job increasing the food storage.

My wife and I got the Costco 90 day supply as our food storage. I figure if we need more than that, most likely, all of our neighbors will be dead after 3 months and we can go and eat them. I guess they become our food supply to round out the year. I also need to increase my food storage of Diet Coke to truly get us thru the year.

I loved the scene in The Road when the they found the underground cache of food storage and hadn't eaten for seven days. I didn't think anything could make canned pears with syrup, corned beef hash, and string beans sound so good.

Waters, do you have a secret underground cavern where you keep it (don't tell us where, if so)?

I keep it in my house that is heavily protected with iron bars, two big dogs, and Smith & Wesson.

Go ahead and laugh, but with the inevitable premise for a year supply of food storage being what it is, clearly the endeavor would be superfluous if there were not stored close by a cache of deadly weapons and a year supply of ammo. Perhaps the components of a machine gun nest with many rounds of ammo to be installed on the roof would be in order. By the way, I don't necessarily disagree with the premise.

I don't have a machine gun, but trust me, security won't be the issue.

A few years back I was speaking with a friend about protecting my food storage. I had purchased a gun and a ton of ammo. I asked him what he planned. He replied, "I'm going to share it. That's why I have it". I felt dumb afterward. Sharing it would seem more in line with it's intended purpose.
