Cooking when the SHTF
Ok. Lights are out and it is TEOTWAWKI and it is time to cook.
Where I live everything is electric. How long will I last outside cooking up a bunch of food in my backyard where everyone can smell it? Probably not long.
I had the great idea of cooking inside my fireplace, but while talking to an expert he told me that would increase the chances of a chimney fire. All the grease gets all up in the chimney and sooner or later you have a fire all the way up your chimney. Not what you need when the fire department may not be working.
You may be able to use a dutch oven in the fireplace, but any frying, or grilling should be counted out.
Back to the bug out of the city idea.

shelf reliance food rotation system review
I bought one of these Cansolidator Pantry 40 Can Food Rotation System
... easy to put together, and I feel relief that stuff won't be forever stuck in the back of the pantry till someday I need it and it will be spoiled.
It saved space, but it most importantly becomes a SUPER SIMPLE way to handle first in, first out food system. You put it in the top part and it rolls down to the bottom part, so you are are always taking out the bottom part the stuff that was put in first. Cool. Highly recommended.

Food for the bugout bag
Best and lightest is the 1 or 2 serving size of Mountain House freeze dried food. It will keep for years and years.
The only disadvantage is you have to add water to it. Heated water if possible.
Buy it here:
http://astore.amazon.com/thebugoutguy-20/detail/B0002YRNJK
If you want something ready to eat that might be cheaper(but heavier) then I would recommend chef boyardee spagetti with meatballs which doesn't taste half bad cold.
Maybe smoked oysters, beef jerky or small cans of tuna or chicken. Peanuts are good too.
Don't forget the can opener or the swiss army knife to open cans though.

Best food to store at the bugout location or home
Mountain House freeze dried food in the big #10 cans keeps for 30 years and tastes good. Some of the other freeze dried food tastes pretty bad.
They sell stuff like spagetti but they also sell vegetables, and even scrambled eggs or just beef or just chicken.
It is not expensive compared to a fast food store, but if you can't afford it or want to supplement it with cheaper food, buy a huge bag of rice and an huge bag of beans.
Kroger is now selling 25 pounds of rice and 25 pounds of beans for around $15.... I wonder why?
Good timing whatever the reason. Buy some good freeze dried food and supplement it with beans and rice. Don't forget to store water and have ways to purify water though.. you need water to eat any of those...

Cast iron cookware for bugout location or home
Why cast iron cookware?
It is very heavy... but it will stand up to the abuse an outside fire made with wood and be able to distribute the heat evenly, where you thin normal cookware would not or that fancy non-stick stuff would not.
You can buy it here in the bugout guy store:

Seeds on order from this company
I just ordered some seeds from this company, I have learned one thing
recently... the seeds at the local hardware store suck.
recently... the seeds at the local hardware store suck.
So buy some seeds from people who sell them for survival purposes.
These guys come recommended from someone I trust so they are probably
good.
Anyway, if things get tough, people start gardening. In the old days
they called it a Victory Garden.
the idea here is that you don't depend on others, but instead depend
on your self. one way to do that is grow your own.
