I have been stocking for over 50 years.We were snowed in for 2 weeks in 1948.My mother had no problems with food because she kept a bit ahead.I put a date on everything I buy.Spoiled can goods are rare,just dont let them freeze.It costs little to stock up ,buy only on sales.Just bought round steak at 1.79 a pound and put it in the freezer.Now we can still eat when 100 gal of fuel oil will cost 500 bucks.We had a bad ice storm in 1998 that left us with out power for 10 days some areas were out for 30 days.One radio station ran the transmitter on bottled propane hauled up a mountain on snowmobiles.Many people were out of food in two days.Roads were clogged with downed trees and power lines.Job losses are common,An injury can put you down for a long time.You can do without electric power but no food will get old fast.There are many places in this country where you have to stock up or go without.Your super market holds stock for about 3 days and most cant even sell goods with out electric power.My generator keeps the freezer and fridge running and the water pump working.I can run on wood heat and there is a hand pump on my well.My generator kept our post office running during the ice storm.Parked my truck at the post office mornings and used the generator to keep my place and several other houses from freezing up afternoons.My mom and dad went through the depression and WW2 rationing.They taught me to be ready for hard times.My son has no electic days now and then so his kids have training to handle tough times.any one who dosent prepare is a fool.Brings to mind people who had canned goods but couldnt open them because all they had was an electric can opener.
