RE: Food storage thoughts for prepping for disasters; large and small, in an orderly fashion.
Hey Dogs are good people; I have food stored for mine too, ROFLOL! But I also plan to feed them that which I prefer not eat from what I cook. They like that kind of stuff anyway.

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.
