What to stock up on?
dehydrated anything. canned goods. rice. flour. fats. salt. sugar. iodine.
"iodine" had not thought of that one.
when a person is living in a SHTF situation, getting those foods supplies that have iodine are important. and with the ocean products like fish and seaweed being toxic, well, you can see how one has to weigh the benefits and the risks (of mercury and the like).

I would also buy some canned meat or even better fill up the large freezer if you have the space.
Im going to can a bunch of bear meat on tuesday. Great stuff to keep in the cupboard, but its too good just to have set aside as a prep food. I burn through jars of that stuff pretty damn fast.
How do you can bear meat? Like a stew?
Where I'm from we use bear meat mainly for sausages, sometimes stew.
Some people even know how to cure a bear prosciutto type ham, bud it's rare and expensive.
Oatmeal doesn't need sweetener if you use fat to make it.
I put a little coconut chips in it. So good.
Canned food
We stock canned meats, fish and chicken, sausages. Fat and protein are king when you are hungry. Don't bother with uncooked beans they take too much energy. Canned beans are better. Rice if you need a carbohydrate. Veggies? Easier to just grow the fast ones like spinanch, chard, collards. Potatoes are easy to grow in a bag. I use organic taters from the store and they grow just fine. We had a shortage of seeds, onion and potato sets locally during the bs plandemic. I have some emergency seeds that I got from ebay. I don't worry if seeds get a little old. I save seeds from tomatoes, squash and peppers to grow the next year. Grow basic herbs in pots for seasoning food. I'm planning to raise some meat chickens. They are ready in 8 weeks or so to harvest.
