Unfortunately, this also applies to shaving...so we better make sure we have a non-electric heat source ready too.

You wouldn't have to worry about what to eat and resort to a 100% vegetarian product if you all had signed up for the snow monkey hunt. But dont worry, I was looking at the pictures posted of the Yeti's and thinking that 1 Yeti could feed a wedding reception or small family reunion if cooked right, so I'll be organizing a Yeti hunt.

As to a heat source, you can pick up matchless fire starters at any camping, surplus store or Wal Mart.

In a post-apocalyptic world there could be the best emergency food, wihtout water you wouldn't need to eat it anway. Heat source is easy.

I'm encouraging my neighbors to stockpile as much as they can, then I'll harvest them one by one after the apocalypse.

Yeah, just go stand near one of the countless burning cars on your street.

Somehow I just never think of the words "survivalist" and "vegetarian" in the same context.

Seriously!

Is there a 275 serving box of beef jerky?

275 meals of bacon?

Now you're thinking!

I'd rather buy astronaut, freeze-dried food.

They have fries, even ice cream. 20-year old corn chowder scares me. I don't even like it fresh.

It's preserved by all kinds of now-thought-of-to-be-ok chemicals. But on the other hand you will kiss your own butt IF you need it and bought it.

Why not? My wife will think its great she recently had a GE whole house generator, (15,000 W) which automatically takes over in the event of a power failure installed. The system runs on natural gas which we use for heat however gas lines had to be pressure modified to meet the requirements of the generator.
OK as if that was not enough, nestled in the woods about 100 yards from our home sit 2 Hudson 1,150 gallon LP tanks. This is enough LP to power the generator, (running everything) for well over 90 days.

When I asked her why she had gone to such lengths her response was; "because" I'd almost bet cash money she'll buy a couple buckets, I'll show her tonite.

FYI--in the event anyone is wondering our earned income is pooled, joint. However, on occasion when she decides to do something she just does it which is ok considering her income is several times what mine is.

Did anyone see the reviews?

Way too many preservatives to eat all year.

I think we just read the review of a lazy wife.

Ummm, the lights in the house and noise from the generator will just be a draw for those without either. It's best to be discrete when the end of the world comes around...
