We buy 50# bags of peanuts (already shelled) for the birds. I took a coffee can full out to the platform feeder the other day and then it struck me, "Well if all hell breaks loose, we can always eat the bird food!"

Wow, I thought I knew how to respond to this thread until I read the responses!
Well all things taken into consideration, for the meat eaters, I would recommend getting a "jerky machine". You can stock pile tons of nutrient filled 'chews'. They are light weight & back pack friendly. Honestly, you'd probably really only need to eat like 2-4 a day to survive (depending on size of course)......I assume most of us know what a standard piece of beef jerky looks like!
Now for inexpensive meals in the meantime.......don't underestimate the power (and joy) of hamburger helper! You don't have to use meat either. You get all of your pasta and seasoning in one convenient box for about .99-1.50 depending on where you shop! A little creativity does wonders

Once again someone suggesting that people eat packages of sugar and salt to survive in hard times. BS!!! better off starving than poisoning yourself, imo

I really can't believe that you people are suggesting that sugar and salt are good things to eat during hard times.
