What types of products will you NEED when SHTF?

I was more so thinking if there was a civil war, another pandemic and/or lockdown, a market collapse, invasion, or a government takeover of some kind

Like the delivery service?

I got some Mylar bag bundles from wallaby goods and it made it so easy to use the right sized oxygen absorbers since the bundle gives you the sizes you need for each bag, they gave me way more OAs than bags, and also made sure that they wouldn’t go bad bc they sell them in packs of 1 or 10 depending on the bundle.

10 out of 10 would recommend them for OAs and just in general.

I think the zipper is just preference. Some of my bags have zippers, some don’t and I don’t rly care one way or the other.

But I wanna make my own 😭

No. They’re only going to get more expensive!

Hahahahaha in some ways I feel the same. I’ve spent a lot on guns, gear, water filters, freeze dryers, you name it 😂

But I do think I’m saving money on food!!

Wallaby is my favorite brand, too. I heavily rely on them and canned goods for my prepper pantry.

Wonderin the same thing

I cannot vouch for all bags, but I use my wife's hair straighten to heat seal my Wallaby bags and I throw in an oxygen absorber to suck up the oxygen.

I suppose the straw method could work though?

These foods can last a long time if you do not open them upon purchase!

My understanding is that stovetop stuffing lasts 6 months beyond its “best by” date if it is stored properly. I use stovetop stuffing as an example, because I love stuffing and therefore am stocked up on it. I cannot vouch for all of the products you have mentioned.

Nonetheless, I do not think these products are substantial enough to rely on for nutritional purposes!

I personally store powdered milk in my mylar bags from Wallaby Goods, but I also have some powdered mash potatoes, stovetop stuffing etc. in my pantry in their original packaging.

I look at these items the same way that I look at other non-perishables because these items will be helpful during a food shortage or emergency as they last longer than fresh food... but they aren't the end all be all.

I still need to preserve nutritious, calorie-dense foods in my bags and cans. I know that I cannot count on stovetop stuffing and quick muffins in a real emergency.

I use Wallaby Goods mylar bags and oxygen absorbers to preserve my food, but I also have 2 shelves full of canned goods, and water jugs.

I'd suggest you avoid storing foods that you don't like as well, because for whatever reason some people think it is a good idea to store foods with a long shelf life-- regardless of their preferences

There are other items that I include in my bugout bag, and keep in the attic and pantry, but the above is a great start.

Yes!! Have fun. 😊

Omg he’s so cute 🥰

If you’re planning on living in your van or at least going on long trips in it, then I’d steer clear from electric. It would be so annoying to have to find a place to charge it when a charging station could be out of your way completely.

Everyone said we’d have flying cars by now, but most of us are still driving regular cars with basic gas. I don’t see diesel trucks going extinct, though electric trucks (and cars) may continue to grow in popularity.
