How much food storage do you have?
 

Just curious. We're trying to build ours up this year.

We had over 3 months in Colorado before we had to move. We used up about a month's worth before we moved and then gave away almost all of the rest to a couple of needy families in the ward. We haven't done a very good job building it back up. We're probably at 4 to 6 weeks worth now.

We could probably keep ourselves alive for 1 year (we have close to 1,200 pounds of rice); however, it wouldn't be a varied diet. We need to work on our spices and stuff like oil and salt and such.

Another concern beyond food is potable water. We have 165 gallons of water in barrels but if you don't have access to a long-term potable water supply then you are dead meat. My next biggest concern is fuel. Even if we made it through the summer on our year supply, we would freeze in the Utah winter without some type of fuel/heat mechanism (such as a wood-burning stove and tons of wood -which we don't have).

I've never built it up past 3 months and have a tough time staying at 3 months. I don't know that I could store a year's worth in my current home. It would take some real creativity.

I could live on beans and rice everyday with some tomato paste for taste. I'm having trouble finding bulk rice currently. Costco never has any and if they do apparrently you can only buy 1 bag at a time right now.

On a related note, a co-worker told me that it was selfish of me to want to "hoard" rice at this time of shortage. Don't think I've ever heard food storage described as selfish before.

If I was accused of hoarding rice, I would give the accuser confirmation that I was indeed hoarding rice. If that is what he wanted to believe, why not give him the satisfaction?

I'd then tell him that I would shoot him if he set foot on my property and tried to steal rice from me. May as well play the stereotype.

We have none.

I am betting that the millennium doesn't happen in my lifetime.

Instead of massive bags of wheat and large barrels of water, I am using the space in the garage for something that happens often in my lifetime: longboarding.

In the event I am wrong, we will all die quickly, so it wont matter anyway.

Your storage is similar to mine but instead of a longboard I am storing a quarterpipe and a fun box.

I have friends who have years and years if you count wine. Wine cellars are a big deal here. Could someone live off of only wine for a year? I bet they could if they had to.

Try it.

I think I will be quite busy helping church members before I start helping people dedicated to the destruction of the church.
