Andy, that is so awesome how self reliant you folks are. I would say that less than 0.001% might be as prepared as you guys are.

Yea I'd love to get there someday but I have a feeling I'd be on my own.

Mentioned to wife last night after ready some of this thread that it would be a good idea to get a few MRE's just to have around if we needed them. I got called a radical and was told we'd live off peanut butter. Laughing.

Smooth or crunchy? :licking:

How long does that stuff keep anyway? I'm the only one that eats crunchy in our house and it seems like I go through maybe two jars a year. So its open for at least 6 months.

I like crunchy especially if I have to eat it by itself.

crunchy seems to work better for baiting mouse traps...!

Smooth. As she won't eat crunchy.

I always considered peanut butter's shelf life up there with honey and molasses. Just stir it back together until it molds. Then get a new jar. I've never had any to mold though.

As long as it isn't molded I would eat it. The only time I have ever seen peanut butter mold was when it was left on a mouse trap for months.

Peanut butter is all about the sugar content (or lack there of)...!

Wow peeked at this thread out of curiosity and read all 22 pages. The one thing I didn't see mentioned was books, You can't remember everything, at least I can't and books like "Back to basics" and "How to make it off the land" would be invaluable, everything from edible plants to cold rooms to home made smokers for preserving meat. Oh yea and fishing gear if you're near water! Cool thread!
