Gotta love the prices, just under 200 acres and a nice 1400 SF house for under 200k The home is 3 bed 2 bath, complete solar setup, generator to pump water from the well, that the seller says produces 35 gpm, to the 2500 gallon cistern.

Our offer was accepted

Put some more cash away in the bug out wad-o-bucks for that brief window when cash is (maybe) still good.

I just added more pistol powder to my supply: 296 and Titegroup.

My food and water supply's are seriously lacking. I'm thinking of a two months supply of Mountain House and a large water filter. I live on the Columbia River and can fish and hunt too. Give me a sense of direction.

Keep an eye on the Craigslist. Sometimes restaraunts & bakeries will list buckets for just a few dollars.

LDS home store has 100 pack small desicants for $12.

Those freeze drieds are a good start, we don't have much though--too pricey IMO, but they are still a decent value for what you get.

I'd say stock up on what you enjoy eating that's calorie dense & shelf stable.

For us: Oatmeal, pasta, rice, ramen, no egg pancake mix, potatoes flakes, mac&cheese, TVP (textured vegetable protein), canned veggies, canned brown bread, peanut butter, Nutella, laughing cow cheese, tuna, refried beans, spam & other canned "smeats", lentils, progresso & hungry man soups, Dinty Moore stews, canned chilli, tuna, sardines in olive oil, canned nacho cheese sauce, pasta sauce, coconut oil, olive oil, whey protein powder -flavored for shakes or sprinkling on oats, protein bars, emergen-c brand drink packs, coffee beans, creamer, powdered milk, sugar, honey, flour, baking soda, salt, hot sauce...I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch...

If you are looking for Mylar storage bags and (or) desiccant packs, Google "Mylar Man", they have all kinds of different bags, sealers and other things.

Thanks, to make things more complicated I'm dietetic. Tuna, spam, peanut butter, anything low in carbs is good. No pasta, crackers, potatoes. I'm only stocking for a month or two for 2 adults.

IDDM or non insulin DDM? If Dependent...could be challenging, yet not impossible to extended prep.
