I'm the PP with the shotguns. I'd rather not shoot and/or kill a bear. I only hunt what I will eat. I think it's awful to do otherwise. However a fresh roasted pheasant in a orange bourbon reduction is pretty freaking fantastic

Once in the forest I overheard two bears talking. One said.. some of those hunters are more chewy then others..
The other said, that’s nothing, the worse part are the socks, when you chew of rhe foot and have to bite through the sock they taste like cheese..
i hate cheese!

This is to all those who are still debating if they should prepare... Also great story for the kids who might be asking you questions why in heaven do we need all of the sudden a pyramid of toilet paper, it is not even Halloween...

The Ant and the Grasshopper
One summer’s day, in a field, a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great effort an ear of corn he was taking to his nest.
"Why don’t you come and chat with me," asked the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling your life away?"
"I am helping to store up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and I recommend you to do the same."
"Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper. "We have got plenty of food at present."
But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil.
When winter came, the Grasshopper found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing, every day, corn and grain from the stores they had collected in summer.
Then the Grasshopper knew...
MORAL: WORK TODAY AND YOU CAN REAP THE BENEFITS TOMORROW!

That’s not the topic.

Food and stockpiling are the topic.

Stockpile now because it is here. A few years back, DH and I were first dating and I made a 12 AM grocery run when I heard the forecast. The next day when he went at 12 noon, everything was already picked over. Or depleted. I ended up giving him some of my stash.

Bought a couple of cases of water, big bag of frozen veggies, big pack of hamburger (divided up and froze), sausage (froze), canned tuna, power bars, peanut butter, and a few more things. These are all things we will eat over time if we don't need it for emergency.

Yes please buy things you will eat, or else donate them before the expiration date. At the food donation drives I work there are always tons of cans of cheap corn and green beans that are expired; I assume they were someone's emergency stock that they were replenishing. I know canned food technically lasts forever, but a little planning and you could donate it before the date on the can.

TL;DR

No one here wants to eat bear. But if you want to have a goose, the vegan antagonist wishes you to be eaten by a bear. Because of goose moms and their feelings.

Also, I can't eat a fish, but bears can because bear's don't have Safeway's.


Now you're caught up.

Oh, and don't forget to buy seasonings if you stock up on rice and beans... #protip

I got 20 lbs white rice and 20lbs pinto beans. Will cumin and chili powder be enough?

Sounds tasty.

*whispers* Make sure you have some salt

I knew I forgot something!

Toilet paper stockpiles will also come in handy.

And Beano, to avoid the other *whispers*

A gift card to a grocery store, I’m not asking for someone to send a random stranger cash. Food Lion, Walmart. Please?

I’m sorry for your situation, pp. why not head to a food bank?

I can’t stock up food from the food bank. And the one here in our county will only let you have three bags. I have been there. Several times over the past few months. And it’s really unfortunate because they only have non perishable stuff and one of my kids has Type 1 diabetes. It’s hard to eat healthy from a food bank. The soups and cereals and starchy stuff really hiked his blood sugar up, even though he active in sports at school. I wish food banks were able to offer healthier options.

Go to your local LDS Bishop. Check LDS Meetinghouse Locator by entering your address. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/maps/meetinghouses/@39.047602,-77.251370,12

The website will tell you which building and the name and email address of your local Bishop. Bishops can help out anyone with a food order to our "Bishop's Storehouse." Yes, there are many carbohydrates, but you will be able to get fresh produce, etc. You do not have to be a member to receive a food order.

The food banks also have beans and other sources of protein like tuna that even your diabetic kid can eat. You may have to cobble together several sources, including the dollar store.

Bear is really gross. It’s greasy and the meat has a strong unpleasant flavor and smell. Goose is really delicious. But either way, as a fellow animal, I have just as much right to eat another animal to survive as that bear does.
