You take that back about beans!
seriously it’s actually really fucking good emergency food (pre-soaked ones, in cartons or maybe cans, that is): Lasts a long time, has most of the nutrients you need (importantly both protein and fibre), and regardless of what anyone says the bean water is perfectly drinkable.
I prefer cartons because they’re lightweight, easy to open, compact, and hey it’s paper so in a pinch you can use it as fuel.The fact that they don’t strictly need cooking and come in water is really really really good, because you don’t want to sit there crunching on dry beans, and if you don’t have access to water it’s completely pointless to eat anything.
I agree. A can of baked beans, at room temperature, is great comfort food during times of stress.
I was literally doing that last night when I posted, right out the can lol
So, “doomsday” is basically growing poor in Latin America?
I’m half-joking. Serious now: look at how poor people in your area survive, and learn with them.
Having been in a survival situation, I can tell you that none of than happened. Mostly just selfishness and nightly gun fire. Better advice: Canned food, bottled water, battery powered lanterns, radio and good book. if you can afford it, some way to solar charge the lantern and radio and cellphone. Generators are really noisy and attract attention. I didn’t have power for 2 weeks and the roads were blocked with fallen trees.
Slightly unrelated but a good place to plug my recent hobby. Meshtastic. set up a node and coordinate with friends to connect the whole area.
Not only it is a secure clandestine chat network. it will work when the networks are down, allowing you to coordinate with everyone. Give them a battery/solar and they will work no matter what, electric grid down, you can still coordinate.
I am currently working with local action groups to get the whole city connected
best kind of doomsday planning you can do is find out what kind of edible fruit tree grows natively in your area, finding out which of those you like, and planting them in your yard (if you’re lucky enough to have one)
why limit yourself to your own yard? seed bomb your surroundings, become ungovernable.
Because I like my neighbors, also growing trees from seed does not work in my town. The wind never stops blowing so the trees grow horizontal. If you don’t specifically cultivate the tree and tie it to stakes to make it grow vertical, the tree dies.
No beans

Apparently I don’t even know the comm’s actual name
i think that warrants a ban from most of the fediverse as a whole
They don’t even hoard beans they bank on stealing them with their guns from people who are actually prepared
Nah, my dad has a bunch of cans in his basement. It’s legit.
how many is a bunch? Because a mistake many people make is stockpiling a tiny amount of food, as if that’s going to help much.
You want like a week of food and water, that’s reasonable to store and a week is about how long a non-apocalyptic emergency might last.An entire wall of a decent sized storage area. However he’s a cheap ass and most of it is on clearance and isn’t going to last long anyway.
I’m not suggesting that it is a smart inclination to have.
Now we’re gatekeeping doomsday prep? Jfc
No, we’re making fun of right-wing dickwads. And talking about what really matters.
