Mountain House Food: Being Content vs. Being Hungry in a Disaster

Produce Prices Are Going Up

“Commodity professionals were caught off guard by a U.S. Department of Agriculture report showing 1 million fewer acres of corn planted this year than earlier projected, and almost 300 million fewer bushels of corn in storage.”

This was reported in a recent article by Activist Post. Not surprising since everyday in the news, there is a problem with crop production in many parts of the world. Take your pick, wildfires in Russia, monumental flooding in Pakistan, low corn stocks in the U.S. Food prices are on the rise.

That’s why a growing number of Americans are storing food for their family. Some start out with 72-hour meal kits. Some store as much as 3 months of food for a family of four.

Follow these family’s lead and store food for your family today.

Barley Field on Fire in Russia

Shoppers may see the cost of the meat and poultry rise just as the price of wheat and barley has more than doubled over the past six weeks due to continued fears over the drought affecting Russia and the Ukraine.

The article in The Guardian goes on to say, “Russia is the world’s second largest producer of barley after the EU and the cereal crop is used by many farmers as animal feed. Barley is the latest commodity to see a dramatic price rise in recent weeks”.

“The worst drought for generations in Russia has already caused a 50% jump in the price of wheat, the world’s most-consumed cereal, since June, and last week president Vladimir Putin announced that Russia would freeze grain exports. Attention is also being focused on Australia, the world’s fourth largest exporter of wheat, where this year’s crop may be hit by dry weather in Western Australia, which accounts for 40% of exports. Prices have also been put under pressure by very wet weather in Canada at planting time, which reduced acreage.”

Continued rises in commodity prices provide reason enough to store an emergency food supply. If this trend continues, food prices could skyrocket.

Store an emergency supply of food for your family today, while you have the chance.

You have been diligent and created a cache of emergency preparedness supplies, including food storage, water, communications, and medical supplies. Now what? Are you really ready for a disaster?

One way to find out is to simulate one. Pick a three day weekend and try it out. Turn off your power, water supply, and electronic equipment. Just walk to the circuit breaker box and turn the main breaker off. Now, use your emergency supplies for three days. Prepare your meals from your food storage, using the water you have stored. Try out the emergency radios, and see what it’s like to go to the bathroom when there is no running water. You’ll find out very quick your strong points, and more importantly your weak points.

If you didn’t store enough water, you’ll find that out. If you didn’t store any comfort foods or snacks, you’ll find out once you miss them. The point is to do a dress rehearsal.

You don’t even have to do it for three days. Just do it over a two day weekend. You’ll find out if your children will get bored. What you didn’t store any playing cards, board games, or puzzles? You know what type of activities your family enjoys doing together. Store the items that will allow you to do those things.

Practice runs are a great way to test your emergency and family preparedness. Try to make it fun for everyone in your family.

At a minimum, you should have a 72-hour emergency kit for every member of your family. If you lack these items, buy them.

Germany, 1923: banknotes had lost so much value they were used as wallpaper.

The National Inflation Association today issued a warning to all Americans that empty store shelves will likely be coming to America as a result of government price controls during the upcoming hyperinflationary crisis. NIA also released a video preview of what hyperinflation will look like in the U.S.

The six-minute video goes into detail about an event that took place just outside of Boston, Massachusetts in May of this year. The story was widely ignored by the national media, but NIA believes it was one of the most important news events of the first half of 2010. Although this particular crisis in Boston was due to decaying infrastructure, NIA believes a currency crisis will lead to the same type of panic on a nationwide basis in the U.S.

Citizens of Boston were able to survive their recent crisis with the help of the National Guard, but the National Guard won’t be there for all Americans during hyperinflation. 40.2 million Americans are currently living off of food stamps, but food stamps won’t have any purchasing power during hyperinflation. Remember that.

The United States’ day of reckoning is ahead. We cannot go on living with record budget deficits and accelerating national debt growth forever.

Secure your family’s future today with storable food. Buy it today while you still can.
