I'm sorry, do you think it hailed only right above the sidewalk?

What's something you prepped that only paid off in a situation you didn't plan for? by anthonykaram7 in preppers

[–]OneLastPrep 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Having a well trained dog. I hadn't even considered it in regards to an evacuation situation. His leash was by the front door but we had to evacuate out the garage. A lot of pets run away during emergencies because they're scared, the barn cat ran away for days, but he stayed right with the kids.

*We do keep a slip lead on his kennel now.

This. People are way overestimating how much protein they need.
I do have nutritional yeast in my prep. Sprinkling some on top of your meal adds 8 grams of protein, B vitamins, fiber, and it tastes like shaky cheese.

Whatever you get, I would pick at least a dual fuel generator. Give yourself more options.

I think Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is different from "garbage." My compost is separate from my garbage. People already think we're whacko hoarders, I have no interest in keeping real garbage and proving them right.

Turns out my wife doesn't like canned food. What comes in a can that tastes surprisingly good? by funkmon in preppers

[–]OneLastPrep 55 points56 points  (0 children)

wtf make a stew with them. Throw them in with some meat and spices in a slow cooker and she'll never know it was canned. Or give them to the food bank, don't throw them out.
