Buy hard red winter wheat. "Nitro" packed it will last more than 20 years if kept cool and of course dry. You can grind this stuff to make bread, or let it soak overnight and have "Wheat Berries" for breakfast. I can tell you from personal experience that they are not near half bad. Some molases makes them downright tasty.

Prepardness and the "Society"...

they just don't have a clue on what to tell people to do or buy.
i do not want to come off like a know it all, (i'm far from that....i'm still learning) but would anyone be interested in a thread that does not mention firearms (imho they are important, but to much of a hot-button topic) on prepardness?

Too bad the gov. neglected the national RR system for thousands of cities and rural towns....
Another problem with the RR system is the fact that when they were built, the commerce centers were in the center of most cities. These areas are now known as the "inner cities" and ridden with crime. It would be very hard to secure box cars in these areas in a SHTF scenario.

Here is a start, and a few of what I consider the most important items.
Food And Water + …
www.waltonfeed.com …Here you can find a multitude of products. Including hard red winter wheat “nitro” packed in “Super Pails.” Kept in a cool dry place, this type of wheat should last more than 20 years unopened. Personally I have 300 pounds of wheat on hand.
Also to be found at the above site, is a Country Living Grain Mill. With this item you can take the wheat and grind it to make bread. This is a VERY fine item, and verges on being over-engineered. – Also the book The Encyclopedia Of Country Living can be found here.
www.readymaderesources.com … Here can be found many more survival type products, and some very good water filtration units.
Following are a few more food and water related links …
www.arkinstitute.com … Non-Hybrid seeds might be very important depending on how long the crisis lasts.
www.nitro-pak.com … Another general preparedness site that has a little of everything.
www.cheaperthandirt.com … Sometimes you can find real deals here on “Squad Sized” MRE’s.
www.survivalblog.com … This is a “survival” blog. It may not be your cup of tea, but there is valuable info to be found here, along with some very good links. I know the owner of this Blog personally, and know him to be a good man.
Now for some general sites that survival items can be found. I have dealt with all of them, and trust them. …
www.actiongear.com aka Brigade Quartermasters
www.nitro-pak.com/product_info.php?products_id=32 …Probably the best suture kit I have ever seen. You may not have the training to use this, but in an emergency you might be able to find a doctor or nurse that does…. who may not have the equipment themselves.
www.radmeters4u.com This is a very important site. I would at least have a dosimeter handy these days. Personally I have Geiger and Survey meters, the dosimeters, and the instrument that resets them. I also have a stock of Potassium Iodide on hand.

Oh I don't feel bad about who and what I am, I just don't want this thread to end up in arguments when some may find this info very important.
Ok then. I will put together some basic tips and suggestions, along with a list of web-based suppliers tomorrow. Then we can go from there.

You mean besides TEOTWAWKI? (The End Of The World As We Know It.)
Well, let's see.....earthquakes, Tsunami's, Hurricanes, Dirty Bombs? Just about anything that would cause at least a temporary breakdown in government services.

What is the big deal about 1914 anyway?
by grey matters inwhat is the big deal with the wts about 1914 anyway?
it wasn't their date to begin with.
they got it from the millerites/second advendtists.

So could someone please explain this "generation" thing to me?
I remember how it had changed up to that point......
First I was taught that those that were old enough to understand what was happening in 1914 would be alive at the end. (Born maybe 1895?)
Then I was taught that they only had to be born in 1914.
Now it is this "generation" thing.
Seems to me no matter they cut this cake, they are running out of time.

I do NOT want to come off like a know it all, (I'm far from that....I'm still learning) but would anyone be interested in a thread that does NOT mention firearms (IMHO they are important, but to much of a hot-button topic) on prepardness? If so, what forum should it be in? I might be able to help someone who wants to prepare, with places to buy the right stuff cheap and of high quality. But I really do not want to again have to defend myself for being a "paranoid survivalist." After all, we do have feelings.
Keep in mind that even FEMA is saying you should have supplies on hand.
