What happens when the 6 weeks end?

In one sense, we’re all in this basket. The following article is a couple of years old, but it makes the comment world food reserves were down to 74 days at that time compared to 109 days in better times.

We live hand to mouth at all times really, and only keep going because God has designed the overall system to keep functioning. At any given time, there’s only about 10 to 13 weeks food supplies in reserve, and probably a good deal less in some places.

“We’ve not been producing as much as we are consuming. That is why stocks are being run down. Supplies are now very tight across the world and reserves are at a very low level, leaving no room for unexpected events next year,” said Abdolreza Abbassian, a senior economist with the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). With food consumption exceeding the amount grown for six of the past 11 years, countries have run down reserves from an average of 107 days of consumption 10 years ago to under 74 days recently.

I’m also going to take a cheap shot at this group of Mormons, but their actions remind me of the movie “Blast from the Past” which I thought was pretty funny in places. It was also a cynical commentary on the decline of US social standards and morality at the same time.

I wasn’t asking about things to keep on hand, I was specifically asking about his “library” and now that he has answered (and like you assumed I can’t figure out what to have on hand) I see that the only thing I lack from his “library” list is information on butchering.

Just a little bit snaky. I was only trying to help.
 
News is in. Warren Jeffs has pointed the day of the end. It’s September 28.

Well in the NE you might not be aware, but the answer is quite simple…

Guns.

I am surprised that did not make all the lists on this thread.

I am going to step outside of My Catholic shoes here for a minute. Guns and Ammo are the number one way to feed your fam and survive. You can hunt., you can protect and you can dictate.

Now, back to the subject at hand. EVERYONE should have an emergency bag. SHTF is what we call it. Water, lights, shoes, and a change of clothes for everyone. With some non perishable food. And on a Catholic note. Everyone should go to confession.

being in the west and coming from a family that was Mormon on my father’s side. I can tell you that preparedness (not prepping) is as Gospel as anything. In in case the Mormons are right… Find a house that you don’t think had guns on that list and invade…😉

There are always things that are like this. But with the recent passage of SS"M" the way the world is right now, the economy, and the environment… Plus with us being so reliant on technology for food and life… Look out. They may be on to something.

The final of 4 Blood Moons is on the 28th after the Pope has been to Gomorrah… hmmmmm…

Anyone up for binge watching TWD?

Isn’t Warren Jeffs currently in prison serving a life term? There’s a name to conjure with and a person to emulate. Certainly someone I would want to trust. Well, at least he’s specific.

Like Paul?😉
Jeremiah?
Wasn’t David in a type of prison (den) for a life sentence?

Just playing Devils advocate.😉

Playing Devils advocate is one thing, but really likening Warren Jeffs to St. Paul:mad:

Though he is I, he still communcates via phone with his faithfull.

I’m not. I just think using incarceration as a reason someone is not a good religious prophet is not a great point given the history of prophets…

Now if we want to talk about the sanity of Jeffs to Paul… well that would be a whole new ball of wax.

No to salting meat and like I said I don’t have any books in my home about meat in general. As far as mushrooms are concerned, no one in the house likes mushrooms and being wrong can be so hazardous that identifying them isn’t high on my list of things to know.🤷

Have fun starving

I figure there are more serious things to consider that might lead to a mega bug out situation. (North Korea readying satellite, suggesting long-range missile launch) Mormons…🤷 meh…

My uncle ate a leather belt and tree bark soup as a child in the Ukraine after world war 2

In Uganda at a village my wife was at last year the majority of everyone’s meals consisted of grass hoppers and meal worms

Those were organic and GMO Free right?

Well, I think sometime in the not so distant future some of us may indeed have to do things to survive. I think it might be good for us…

It can be a testament to life and to the human will what we will do to feed ourselves and our loved ones. (within the bounds of Catholic morality of course.)

I suppose the Eucharist should suffice really…
 
Here in Utah there are Walmarts that cater to the LDS when it comes to supplies (food). They will have a whole isle with dried food (bulk). I once asked an lds member about his supplies and asked if he had weapons at home, he said no weapons. I told him I would be knocking at his door first. I was playing with him of course. But they do seem to worry about disasters a little more than the average person. Sure I own weapons but put my trust in the Lord first.

I’ve had bugs more than once, less disgusting than mushrooms, higher in protein and in general less likely to kill you if you make a mistake.🤷
