RE: Food storage thoughts for prepping for disasters; large and small, in an orderly fashion.
sir smithlabs! oh interesting. What kind of food do you have stored for the dogs, or rather the bosses.

They like a 21% protein dry food from Atwoods. Hard to find a dog food they all agree on, that seems to be the best bet, but they prefer people food.

do you put that in sealed buckets or something so it will last longer?
Yes, 5 gallons buckets with plastic bag inside for a double seal.It also protects against rodents

sir smithlabs! Five gallon buckets with mylar bags would be better wouldn't they? And you put in the moisture absorbent packets?
Yes, but I rotate stock, so long term storage is not needed. In SHTF, I will hunt small game, and net fish, for us, and my fur babies.

well sir smithlabs with that many guns how will you ever decide on which one to use? lol..hey do you have crossbows too? or is that a dumb question?
Oddly enough, I do have favorites, but I use them all. For SHTF use, the primary small game rifle will be a BB gun. I have a .177 calibre gamo pellet rifle with a silencer. It is legal to use a silencer on an air rifle, and this one is the apex of air rifles. It is effective for small game out to a hundred yards. A pellet gun is very inexpensive to shoot, and is also quiet which is smart in a SHTF situation.
For home defense, in a SHTF situation I will carry a 357 pistol and rifle.

oh wow really? sir smithlabs, what is the name and make of that air rifle so I can look it up. Our place has so many rabbits it ain't funny. You could live on the rabbits.
What about a shotgun for home defense?
