They'll just shut it off, when it hits the fan it is dangerous in the hands of the people.When they ration gas, and make people stay home, rationing of the internet (and what can be seen) won't be far behind.
The only thing on that list I ever use is brown sugar - for making coffee rub venison.While going through our prep foods I’ve started questioning my pounds of food per person on a few items. The food calculator I’ve been utilizing has these items set as below…
ADULT PER YEAR
Sugar 40#
Powdered Fruit Drink. 6#
Brown Sugar. 3#
Powdered Milk 60#
Evaporated Milk. 12 cans
My personal opinion is that 40# sugar per person is extreme. Perhaps that is because we don’t eat a ton of sugar? The rest of the group doesn’t know how much sugar per year they consume.
Powdered fruit drink for adults. Really? Totally there with the children.
Brown Sugar can be used to make syrup. It stays good forever. I’ve bought 7# per person.
Powdered Milk is needed for children, coffee (for some folks) as well as cooking and baking, but 60# a person? Did not purchase that much…yet.
Evaporated Milk seems fine to me, but since I’m questioning the powdered milk thought I would include it too.
PLEASE give me your thoughts, ideas and what you‘ve done!
I think that's because of the idea that it gives you vitamin C if you can't get citrus, but if you are growing and eating spinach, you will get your vitamin C needed I think.Powdered fruit drink for adults. Really? Totally there with the children.

I keep a lot of drink mixes like Kool Aid, Tang, instant tea ect. Plane water is just boring.
Just FYI if you don't already know, pickle juice is something else that relives the cramps from dehydration. Even the homemade kind. In the years past, there was 2 occations that Hunny would call me on the road saying he was cramping so bad after going down to the beach property to mow. GET THE PICKLE JUICE READY WHEN I COME THRU THE GATE!! He didn't listen to me saying take something down there to drink. Nope, he would just load up and go. He finally started listening.I have a bunch of Propel (diet gatorade) packet for electrolytes to add to water. I found it helpful for cramps if I become dehydrated.
Rest of my stores is what I eat and what i figure to need to supplement fresh (examples powdered for milk, extra flour for bread, etc).
I know how long it takes to go through for rotation. It’s kinda of fun to use some of the long term stuff to make a meal, example Canned corn beef and dehydrated hash browns.
I know when I make a batch of 7 1/2c juice of whatever jelly I go thru 14 cups at a time so it does add up, but in a SHTF situation, not sure how much jelly I will be making. I have been known to doing close to 100 jars in one season which is multipe batches, but normally many jars goes out as gifts or the holidays. I do use it when making bread items though. Sometimes I will add it into veggies, like corn when they are starchy tasting to get it better tasting. I bought some canned corn that just needed major help. Very disappointed on that one. A little sugar, butter and dill goes a long way to help. Thank goodness we have those alternatives. I also use sugar in bread items and baking goods. I can imagine making breads often, but the baking goods would be a total treat. Keep your sourdough starter going if you have it ladies.
My doctor told me about pickle juice!Just FYI if you don't already know, pickle juice is something else that relives the cramps from dehydration. Even the homemade kind.

You are thinking and planning, that is all that is important.PLEASE give me your thoughts, ideas and what you‘ve done!
Excellent idea and thought. Too much of certain things does not mean you will survive for how long...At the end i said to myself:
Surviving has to make sense. Suffering to survive a few days more dosn't make sense to me.
