Search: calories per dollar

A few weeks ago I was interviewed on a radio show about this prepping column, and during the commercials I heard an ad for a specific survival food company that claimed to offer more “calories per dollar” than everyone else. On checking their website, that number is 250 calories per dollar. I have been buying and storing food for over a year now, since my original food article, and all this time I have had a really hard time explaining to people the importance of making the most out of their prepping dollars, and focusing on supermarket food, not survival food. The company itself didn’t impress me, especially after they bailed on sending review food when I explained this article. But then I realized, that’s it! It really is all about calories per dollar! And that claim of 250 calories per dollar may be high when compared to other brands of survival food, but compared to the foods below, all from Walmart, they are embarrassing for the actual food you get. Even expensive name brand Dinty Moore beef stew is 238 calories per dollar. Which would you rather eat?

While it is nearly impossible to find a tool or load out that works best for all situations, I continually find myself creating lists of things I want and that go well together for different tasks. Mission dictates everything, and companies design dedicated gear to fit specific situations.

Well holiday season is here again, and this year I’m back at Prepping 101. By all means I don’t want to bring anyone down or anything, and most of us are not searching for things to expend our resources upon. But if you in the process of preparing for the shit show that is surely [...]

Things are changing rapidly as the COVID-19 epidemic sweeps the nation, and all signs point to the very real possibility of quarantines for all.

You wouldn’t think that bugging out from Irma would be anything spectacular, because I’m prepping for the collapse and all, but nothing went as I expected. These are some important lessons.

Part of the prepping world is planning to survive the collapse financially as well as physically. Your approach should depend on your worldview, and what you think is really coming. This is perhaps the biggest question. Something is coming. Is it purely financial, or are we going Mad Max?
