I don’t like ass kissers, flag wavers or team players. I like people who buck the system. Individualists. I often warn people: “Somewhere along the way, someone is going to tell you, ‘There is no “I” in team.’ What you should tell them is, ‘Maybe not. But there is an “I” in independence, individuality and integrity.'”
Avoid teams at all cost. Keep your circle small. Never join a group that has a name.
@bonifartius @dae0aff870620203370785a25cd1e90cd6e787d9eec0708636cda97d5bc0cec4 @freepatriot I have filters as I use a gravity system as it is, but I live near the ocean. Honestly, I'll be 52 next month and I am seriously pondering getting something and travel the country for a couple years..
@RustyPoolGuy @dae0aff870620203370785a25cd1e90cd6e787d9eec0708636cda97d5bc0cec4 @freepatriot maybe look into those outdoor pump water filters. the one from MSR is pretty small, hand cranked and the filter cartridge lasts 10000L. not exactly cheap though, but i think it's ok for the value provided.
@bonifartius @dae0aff870620203370785a25cd1e90cd6e787d9eec0708636cda97d5bc0cec4 @freepatriot I personally, have 100 lb of rice, and 100 lb of beans. currently I keep 2 50 lb bags of both and cycle through them as I eat a lot of rice and beans... I'm thinking of breaking that down into 20's and 10's but have not.. For me, water will be the issue..
@freepatriot Voluntaryist here.
@dae0aff870620203370785a25cd1e90cd6e787d9eec0708636cda97d5bc0cec4 @freepatriot that's why i had the lentils idea. they store well, i like lentils so i can rotate them and they provide good nutrition. i really don't eat much canned stuff, aside the occasional beans or tomatoes.
@captainslow @freepatriot there are a handful of mormons here, but not nearly enough for mormon stores to exist ;)
@freepatriot MRE are thrown away money imho, much too expensive.
maybe reverse of the lentils is popcorn, you only need a heat source for it.

regarding water, i have a manually pumped ceramic filter. some are good enough to make water from a puddle clean enough to drink. i'd store a bottle of unscented bleach as well and add a few drops because it can't hurt.
underrated are unscented bars of pure soap. kills germs because of pH 11, makes things clean, it's really versatile.
