(Do not clean the filters with your bare hands, the outside of the ceramic filters can have concentrated levels of contaminants after extended use including heavy metals, organic compounds and more)

quick question: potatoe growing is a easy as going to my local food market, buy some potatoes that still have some roots (tubers) attached to them and putting them in the dirt? (watering etc. but thats a no brainer)

That's pretty damn close. Let the potatoes sprout first. You can even cut a potato up and plant each sprout individually, thereby turning one potato into 5 plants

The potato itself is a tuber

would it be possible to replicate the moisture farms in starwars? basically a bigger version of the solar still

Wranglerstar is bae❤️

Just a note on Sawyer filters and others like them (not ceramic ones), they are adapted from kidney dialysis filters. They sell different micron levels. Basically as they get used, the filter clogs up and slows down. You just backwash them with filtered water and it flushes them out and good to go again. That's how they have the 100k gallon rating.

city slicker

did someone mention there was a place you could buy near expiration date MREs in bulk for a decent price?

OH searched, @UncleDrMrBaby you said locally, what kind of place is it?

do they have a website maybe

They do not have a website. It’s like a hardware store and a milsurp store had an abortion.

interesting, i think there's a milsurp store a couple towns away, but ill check around for something closer

thanks

if u could only grow potatoes, would you grow normal potatoes or sweet potatoes? or which would u give priority to?

testing an overnight cold soak

@Lizard regular potatoes; neutral flavor means more versatility, and I think they're more calorically dense

Is that rice?

yes

I have a month worth of rice but know nothing about overnight soaks

Let me know how it turns out

It's not my Plan A

it was "al dente" sort of... think I didn't add enough water

this is just a backup for if I lose my ability to cook/boil water

Right

Ight just got back from Walmart

This is the haul

Got wipes and disinfectant spray as well ( not pictured )

Any recommendations for what I should get next time I go for a supply run

@AquinasAdherent do you have a makeshift toilet?

if not, a 5-gallon bucket and some heavy duty/contractor trash bags could do the trick, maybe throw in some cat litter to help with the smell

I used sawdust for mine at deer camp

also don't forget to pick your nose for the extra calories
