Practical Prepping Protocol even if Poor
Continuation of another thread of wonderful people with the best ever ideas for practical prepping even for those with little money.

We discuss power outages including CME and EMP, heating and cooking methods, first aid, foods; we run disaster scenarios to see if we know what to do.

This is probably the only prepping thread a person would need, whether long-time prepper here to share, or newbie prepper here to learn and everyone in between.

Welcome!! Join us! Learn! Teach! Enjoy!!

What you need to put in a good medical/first aid kit is listed on Page 99. Copy or even add to the list there.

Discussion of hand-held HAM radios, especially Baofeng, begins on page 145.

Diabetes during SHTF Page 175 and others

We'll also address the issues which may come up about "food stamps" and how to best manage without them, or with reduced amounts, or with partial box of food delivered with partial "food stamps".

This thread might be a good place for me to put down this idea, OP. While I was sitting on the toilet about ninety minutes ago as of this post I was reading through a Diabetes booklet I have. I was also thinking about the inevitable collapse of American society, and all of Humanity shortly after the collapse of America. I realized that insulin has a definite shelf life. I actually thought the stuff could remain in cold storage for decades and room temperature for months straight. Nope... turns out the stuff is only viable in the best of circumstances for normally less than a month's time. Only the "best of the best" insulin lasts up to close to eighty days in the best of circumstances.

This means once the power grid is out, probably for months or years straight, Type 1 Diabetes are going to definitely die within about a month's time. Unless if there are a number of them who happen to have operational generators with the proper maintenance and fuel to last for years or longer and manage to secure a vast amount of insulin all Type 1 Diabetics will die within about a month's time. Type 2 Diabetics on the other hand will have a chance to eat healthier depending on where they're surviving and being willing to eat healthy foodstuff.

I could of sworn I heard of a plant in another GLP thread that is a natural form of insulin. If this is true this would be absolutely essential for Type 1 Diabetics to grow as much and often as possible during the later Christian Apocalypse Events.

Land

Land is expensive, but wealthy land-holders need managers and keepers. Even if you are poor, you can often find a land holder that needs to hire some sort of care taker.

Land will allow you to raise animals that can feed you or care for you. Land allows you close access to game, fish, foul. Land allows you to raise edible things from gardens, orchards, etc.

Land (for the rich or the poor) is the answer.

Oil burns.

You can take a skillet, pour a little oil (or shortening) in it. Twist up a few pieces of paper towel for wicks, drop in the oil and light.

Poof, you have a burner to cook on.

You need to use a skillet/pan with a lid so you can snuff out the fire when y'r done cooking.

Dark Wolf, it's horribly true that diabetics will die without insulin. I vaguely recall a post similar to what you mention, about a plant. Also a few years ago I found a different plant while researching for a friend whose grandmother had diabetes.

There has to be a way - let's find it!

Thank you for posting this - we don't know how many people on GLP have diabetes, and far more in their families. This is crucial information!

I believe one of my sisters, the one who went into the Army, over a decade ago, she told the rest of our family how soldiers in the field are supposed to heat up their MREs. There's a chemical mixture that is to mixed together that produces a strong exothermic reaction. Not exactly enough to severely burn a human, but enough to quickly heat up a MRE's contents so you're not eating up to ice cold MREs potentially out in the middle of nowhere.

Yup, you'd need something.

I was thinking maybe bricks on either side of the burner pan to hold up the food pan.

Probably a million different ways of doing that.

Is this something available to the public? Or is it only in MREs we'd have to get from an Army/Navy store?

I once found bags that will heat a can of food - can't even remember where I got them.

Agreed.

But I can do both at the same time.

And in the mean-time I'd like to avoid the physical suffering of hunger or thirst until I croak.

Re: Practical Prepping Protocol even if Poor
Maybe we should start off with food and water.

That's usually the beginning of prepping.

Food can be very inexpensive if you focus on staples (dry pasta, dry rice, salt).

Water, I would suggest water containers and store tap water. As far as the most inexpensive method is concerned.
