I have enjoyed reading the various thoughts posted under this thread. Then, a memory hit.
The other day I was re-reading one of my favorite SHTF novels, "Alas Babylon" by Pat Frank. I was struck by something the lead character, Randy Bragg, did. He put together a collection of stuff he dubbed "Iron Rations". Stuff that would keep a long time, but would not be needed until necessary.
I know we all have our own "stash". Built and designed around our interpretation of what we deem necessary.
Do any of you have "Iron Ration" supplies?
I started to divert a small amount of stuff such as bullion, instant coffee, ramen noodles, a little bit of ammo, and etc. into a file cabinet that I do not need. Food is sealed in plastic containers to keep critters away. Ammo is in a plastic storage bag to keep out air.
AS always, thoughts and comments are welcome!
