Hello. I am in SW Ontario. I have been storing food for 4 yrs. food and some other supplies. I live alone in an apt. so am very limited in what I can do to prepare, however I can eat quite well for a long time without shopping, if I have to. I began with mostly store-bought canned food, then I found freeze-dried foods and now have quite a supply of that. I like FD because it lasts a long time in the #10 cans. I have been learning to use my FD food, making up recipes, and then making "meal in jar" type meals with my FD foods. I look at all my food and wonder if I am losing my mind, lol. I cant even begin to imagine how long this food would feed me if I stopped shopping for groceries today, but I know it would be well over a year, perhaps 2 yrs.
My dream would be of course to live outside of town with chickens and garden and more able to survive what is coming, but at the moment I dont know how to make that happen so I do all I can do, which is store food, some water, water filter, (I have an Aqua-Rain), and just educate myself as best I can on what is happening in the world, and in our country. I am 63 and have no car and limited income, but I have managed to store a LOT of food, but I started 4 yrs ago. a little at a time got it done. 🙂
