I've had to stop telling people because the people I've told already think I'm nuts. So far, I've bought a 6Kw inverter, 10Kwh of LiFePo4 batteries, 12 solar panels, a MPPT charge controller, portable generator, 50 gallons of fuel storage, wood stove, 5 cords of wood, 100 lbs of rice and beans and a lot more food items. Did I mention my two high velocity lead projectile devices?
It might be a stupid question, but I ask because it's a hole in my survival skills. What type (and form) of beans is it that you stock up on? How will they typically be prepared and eaten? This is something I don't really know about but would like to.
(Guessing it's not "cans of baked beans" haha)
I buy bags of beans like pinto, black, kidney, lentils. Essentially, a variety of bagged beans. There are many kinds to choose from. Look in your area for stores specializing in selling to restaurants. Don't buy emergency foods from Amazon or prepper online stores. I found them over 2 or 4 times higher. Sometimes ethnic stores like Indian, Korean or Asian stores are good.
Thanks that is great info, I'll start with learning to cook with them then look into bulk.
Make sure you freeze them for 24-48 hours before you put them up to kill any pests they are carrying. Triply so for rice, rice moths will infest your whole stockpile in a month or two.
How do you prep your beans and such for storage?
lead projectile devices. yes I'm using that from now on.
I like "handheld noise makers" myself
