Does sitting in a deer stand all day and only seeing squirrels count?
Still putting up my own 'survival buckets' at about ten percent the cost. Ran up Wednesday for buckets,.....$70 for 80 4gal buckets with sealed lids. On the way home stopped and grabbed 240lb rice,......$72, and 40lb Cream-o-Wheat that was cheap,......$20. Already had bags of split pea and jars of clarified butter along with spices for the rice so put up about two dozen buckets of food(more than two yrs worth)for about $200. No doubt that's 'boring' food, but it's true 'emergency rations' and well augmented with other types of food. Very little meat though,.....protein almost has to come from beans and peas for ease of storage and economic reasons. A dollar will buy you 2000cal of plant based protein,.....or 100-200cal of canned meats(tuna or 'mystery meat'). I'd rather eat peas/beans/nuts.
