dhermesc said: (quoted from post at 21:16:26 11/16/12) Anyone have emergency food stored? I know MREs are extremely expensive and bulky for the few meals that are in a case. I've been wondering about something like this:
To keep as backup in case of a "Sandy" like emergency (or worse). Anyone know of a helpful site that advises which ones are good and which ones to stay away from?
Careful what you post here - the Department of Homeland Security says anyone that keeps more than a weeks' worth of food on hand might be a terrorist.
Let's say a catastrophe happens and you are left to fend for yourself
I feel that many of 'think' we are prepared but what if....?
I live within 150 miles of a city that has a population of 300,000 people. So, after something bad happens (like hurricane Sandy, for example) and people become desperate. (loss of life at 30%=90,000. 210,000 left alive).
Fast forward, after a few weeks, this mob of people will begin to branch out further into the country looking for food to survive..)
Average human walking speed is 5 MPH. let's say they walk 10 hours per day= 50 miles a day. I live 150 miles away. That is 3 days walking time. Some are weak and can't walk as fast so they will come in waves. (Loss of life at 50%=105,000. 105,000 left alive).
Now I have a 105,000 people coming at me that are hungry and wanting to feed their kids. I don't have enough food to share with everyone (food would be gone in less than a day), but there is not enough bullets to ward off 105,00 attackers! Let alone, the surrounding areas that also joined them.
In my opinion, your best bet would be to run and hide and avoid any contact with others.

In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
