Hey guys, I'm pretty new to posting in the SHTF forum, but not to INGO. I know I don't have the rep that alot probably have here in the forum, but I think this would be a pretty good thread for people to learn about what foods to focus on, namely me . I was thinking that everyone could post the one thing they always make sure to buy or keep around (food wise), and why they do?
For example im just now starting to prep and I think Hormel Chili, or equivalent, would be a great food to have stocked. Canned foods last indefinitely because they are not exposed to the elements, and while might not taste good after the expiration, will still be eatable. Also, 1 can has a decent amount of fat in it, which most people forget they actually need, along with almost 16 grams of protein, which is highly needed in SHTF situations. While it is high in sodium, i would be ok with that because it would help retain water to not dehydrate so quick.
So that is my thought on one food that I will want to keep a stock of. Of course, it will not be my only one, but sort of a focus food.
