I to have been prepping for a long time. We had a couple of times a few years ago when son in law was laid off. They had to get food from us to feed them and the kids. That happened twice for them. They are doing great now but I still keep the preps up. I have about 80 to 100 #10 cans of freeze dried foods and seed banks. I also can my own food from garden and buy meat when I can get really good sales and can it. The #10 cans we got lucky as a place was going out of business and we got some really good deals. I still watch for some deals on that. It will come in handy one day is it is 25 to 30 year foods. Hubby is 81 years old now and I can’t keep the garden going by myself. So will soon be getting daughter and son in law over to help when they can. The long term foods will come in handy one day as I may have to hit the farms to buy fresh veggies for a while if he can’t do the garden any longer. I dehydrate a lot of foods as well. We have maybe 8 months to a year of food for us and our family.
