Higher elevations call for longer boil. Yep.
I recently discovered this guy on YouTube. His videos are very good and I think everyone with an interest in this thread would enjoy them and learn a lot.

Downstate, access to shoreline salt water is less than 30 minute drive in almost any north or south direction. A portable desalinator might be the ticket if things get desperate.
If WROL is here when do I get to shoot some liberals?!
Soon Pod, soon.
By the way WROL for the acronym lacking is, Without Rule of Law.
It is nearly upon us, most cannot see it though.
Buy food, buy water. Buy lots of it. Just got back from BJ's with an entire truck load of needed supplies.

Can I just say that I'm a vacuum bagging machine? Was up until 3AM vacuum packing flour bags after they spent a week in the deep freezer. Wiping the machine down between each bag sucks but I need this machine need to last a while.

What do some folks say? Oh yeah, winter is coming. It’s back in stock, better grab it while you can. Great value. I ordered yesterday and received today. Best by Sept, 2025.

WROL will never happen.
Illegitimate ROL on the other hand is nearly upon us.
There will *always* be someone who claims to be "the law". If it's not you, make sure it's someone you can live with.

Managed to stockpile some essentials. Anything dry I've put in the storage unit. Got an extra large pack of toilet paper and paper towels to get through gaps. I got water distiller during the last crunch when the pandemic started. I have it stored there as well.
Food wise, I've got a lot of dried stuff. I managed to help my parents move some of the dry stuff (mostly paper towels, toilet paper, and anything else non-food essential that isn't flammable) into my storage unit, and we managed to put in an extra freezer in the garage. So now there's two chest freezers, in addition to the fridges in the house over at their place. That basically gives some extra storage place for cold food for both households.
So, in summary:
So, honestly if I couldn't buy anything for a few weeks I think I'd be "ok" at this point. Will see if there's anything else I can tighten up.

So, in summary:
- Got a good stock of dry food like oatmeal, protein powder, and other low carb stuff, as well as cans. I probably have about 2-4 weeks depending on the items, should audit this though.
- I can make and purify basically all the clean water I want.
- Non-food essentials I have a small cache of that would last about 4 weeks between both households.
- There's enough freezer space at my parents place to hold at least 4 weeks of lean protein.
- Made sure I have some house essentials stocked in case of emergencies. (Tubes of caulk, some waterproof tape, things to fix common shit breaking around the house. I had most of this, but just made sure I'm gtg.)
So, honestly if I couldn't buy anything for a few weeks I think I'd be "ok" at this point. Will see if there's anything else I can tighten up.

Thats pretty good stuff , they also have turkey and chicken, but remember don't let it freeze! the can will swell and break it's seal.
They don't seem to have any of that at my local Walmart. I'll just have to order some, see if I like it.
I also would like to try some of that famous Cougar Gold canned cheese too. Very limited availability though.
Also as I was reading through this thread again and there is a lot of discussion 9f filtering, boiling and even distilling water.
Wouldn't it be a better use of time to try and identify sources of uncontaminated water ahead of time? Then just the basic water prep would be fine.

I reached out to the company. Their web site is out of stock, but their in person store has a very nice selection. The store is opening on Nov. 10th. I am taking a road trip. I will pick up four cases of each meat.

drinking distilled water is not a good idea .. you have removed all the minerals from it and you could end up sick ..
few days ago shopping .. i need to check out meat in a can .. seen a video of kids eating SPAM for the first time i was LMAO ..
brought some BoyScouts memories back ..
holy shit .. 3.50 a can for it in the store here ..
few pages back Dental was mentioned .. do add this .. it doesn't have the mint/menthol in it .. dang OraJel gave me a belly ache from prolong use
from the flavoring .. this did not on the following toothache i had ..
and on the sting part .. if you put it a tooth that is cold sensitive brace yourself .. you'll be fine and numb in 30 seconds after a bunch of cuss words
i just twist the end till the brush fills up and put it on my finger to apply like you do with a OraJel tube stuff ..

That assumes what was uncontaminated before hand stays that way.
Industrial facilities have a habit of not reacting well to power outages.
Streams that are clean today may not be after your upstream neighbor needs to homebrew a septic system.

A travesty to my wife and in-laws. Yet they did not complain during Sandy about it.

Have you ever tried pressure canning meat at home? My wife and I have done venison, chicken and beef. The best is "wet" packed and done in BBQ sauce or broth mmmmm GOOD! Last year we canned a whole deer and tried some dry packed, that way isn't as good but has no liquid in it at all so jars can be left at the cabin over the winter without them freezing bursting. Look on line or get the" Ball Blue book of canning". Look and think it over, now is NOT the time to buy canning jars, the prices are up like ammo!
I have a shit ton of canning jars. Estate sales, great place to buy. I have the blue book. Awesome book.

Your well on your way. I think this spring/summer we will start seeing people selling off the supplies that they bought for Covid/Trump crisis. I can foresee good deals on canners and jars. My daughter told me about some friends of hers that bought a bunch of canning supplies because someone told them it was the thing to do. No garden, no where to plant a garden, they don't know how to cook let alone can but they have them! Ammo and guns will be sold off too
Went to BJ's today got about $300 worth of stuff. Lots of coupons this week, they have a high octane program, the more you buy these products the more money you save on gas.
After the shopping was done I saved $0.60 a gallon. It's a maximum of 30 gallons so I filled up my truck and two 5 gallon gas cans. That was nice

Which is the offensive ingredient? The beef or the sea salt?
