Food supply for Zompocalypse

All you really need is Jerky and Mr. Pibb.

Add dill flavored Spitz to that list and your set

I think these might be the only thing that zombies would prefer to eat instead of human brains. They are also rumored to stave of the infection that turns people into zombies. Kurt makes a great point about the LDS cannery. Even if someone isn't a member of the church they can buy from the cannery and save some serious cash. People on some survival sites I visit buy from the cannery online and they say the food quality is second to none and it is cheap.

We sell emergency supplies at recreation outlet and I am happy to walk you through the basics or discuss in more detail.

Food storage is always a good investment. If you don't need it you can always eat it. Food prices never go down. In fact most stockpiles are like that. I think it was medsker talking about still shooting his .22lr rounds that he bought when they were 72 cents a box. I wish I would have stockpiled ammo a few years ago. I enjoy shooting and will always shoot, even if there are no zombies to shoot at

thanks for sharing this sami, definatly going to have to search out some stuff like this. whether the end of the world or natural disaster might come or not its great to have excess there and available. im sure glad I had stocked up on some beans, potato pearls and some rice a few months back because the last couple months have been tough and we were able to pull from that supply and use it to get us to the next check. Bucket meals dont look very appetizing but hey that would get you out of a bind when you need to get something in your family's stomochs'.

One thing I really want to find is a hand grinder for wheat. My father has a few and wont part with them and the parents got us one for our kitchenaid but that wont help if there isnt power. If anyone knows where I can get a hand crank one please let me know.

Lots of great info in this thread. Just with any type of prep, the most important part is starting. Then you can slowly build it up. Kinda like getting the tools you need for your garage. If you bought all your tools at once, it'd wipe you out for sure. Start small and work up from there.

I know food rotation has been mentioned, but I find it's not that hard to do. I started by buying an extra can or two of non-perishable (or longer shelf-life). Like Katchup. I'll get 4 or 5 bottles when I only need 1. Then I put the extras in my basement. When the ketchup runs out in the fridge, I grab one from the basement and add one bottle of ketchup to the shopping list. We've got a pretty good amount of food storage now, and by slowly building it up, it doesn't cost a fortune all at once. Even though we haven't had a disaster, I can attest to how much easier life is when you think you're out of chicken and you remember you have 20 cans of canned chicken downstairs. Kinda like finding something in your scrap metal pile that was just what you needed, instead of having to plan to go to metalmart to get more metal.

Got ours at maceys, I think it was around $50...

The book one second after by william forschten is what really got us thinking about it. Its a good read, I would recommend it.

I plan on outsmarting all of the stockpiling humans, taking their stores, then selling their bodies to zombies once they starve to death. In return, I will rule the zombies and be able to travel freely amongst them.
