Hey guys has anyone ever thought of keeping just few ingredients for human slop?

This is what I'm planning on doing and wondering if I'm the odd man out.

My basic idea is holding in bulk (2 years worth) long term items that will be enough to keep you going, that's it

Example of human slop
Water
Hard tack
Freeze dried meat
Dissolved vitamin pill

Basic nutrition, nothing more, nothing less

I think anything is better than nothing, however I would like to eat a little better. At this stage in my life (old as dirt), I really enjoy food and would like to continue to do so no matter what happens.

You could easily ad rice and beans and dried spices that would make that 10× better
 
My siblings and I used to create such "recipes" as a joke. It was always said that if someone misbehaved then that's what they would have to eat. We did discuss their possible use for survival situations as well but decided it was as last resort, in the same category as eating grubs as mentioned by @Urbanprep - but not "plan A."
 
I don't see the need to eat much different after SHTF than we do now. While I may only have a 6 month supply (currently) of food saved up, I do have a life time supply of salt, and spices put away. Also with proper management our beef herd and chicken flock will last a lifetime too. Plus we'll have 20+ head of cattle to sell or barter every year, and way more eggs than we can ever use too. Our garden and orchard will provide all the fruit, vegetables and berries that we could use.
 
I think you would get mighty tired of "humane slop" as you call it. I am more along the line with Arctic. We raise our own meat, veggies and fruits. The surplus gets preserved by freezing, canning, freeze drying and dehydrating. I think you also need to consider you and your groups mental state after eating the same meal for 2 years straight. . . It won't be good.

Good to have on hand, it may keep you alive but long term not enough calories to sustain the energy level to keep the muscles from breaking down!
 
lets see solar panels to keep a freezer going,,,,leg quarters ,gravy mix by the bucket and a barrel of egg noodles and as much rice as I can get a hold of,,,,it will get boring,and I will end up loosing a bunch of weight and more than likely my mind to boot

that is my idea of human slop
 
I have identified so many edible wild plants in my immediate neighborhood, that I feel like I live in a produce shop.

I have:

Mango trees
Prickly Pear cactus
Taro (making poi)
Cattails
Saw Palmetto
Cocoanut Tree
Papaya
Yucca
Tropical scrub oak (acorns are edible if processed properly)
Various citrus trees

And so on.

All of these plants are within a ten minute stroll.

I haven't even started on the animal sources of protein.

I really don't think that I'll be eating human slops.

A couple weeks ago I was driving up our road and saw a group of people walking along a ridge. I walked up to them with the intent of running them off. Turns out that it was a professor and some students from a university up north. They were out looking at plants. He said we had an "amazing" variety of plants here, many of which were edible and some quite rare. Instead of running them off I walked around with them for awhile and learned a lot about edible plants.

Did you actually try to eat any of them?
 
Not yet. I still have a lot to learn first. Some plants can be poisonous if picked at the wrong time if year, or if they aren't prepared properly.
That's true. Get Peterson's Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants, and Tom Brown's Field Guide to Edible and Medicinal Wild Plants.

As I've indicated in other posts, you should stay away from wild mushrooms.

Some plants--like Jack in the pulpet, and taro--need to be boiled in a few changes of water to get rid of the oxalic acid. Sometimes long-term soaking can work, but research this first.

Bear in mind that if you try eating wild plants, you may have some gastrointestinal symptoms at first that may make you terrified that you just poisoned yourself by misidentifying something. Just keep in mind that anytime anyone drastically changes their diet to an unusual food, there may be symptoms at first until your body adjusts to the new food. An example of this is a vegetarian who eats meat for the first time in years, and promptly gets violently sick.

Stay away from a plant called yarrow.

Yarrow is a very valuable medicinal plant that is extremely potent and good for a great many things--even life-saving--but it is easily confused (especially by beginners) with poison hemlock. Poison hemlock also grows in places where yarrow occurs.

Don't harvest plants near a road, as plants tend to take up the toxins and heavy metals given off by car exhaust.

I hope this was helpful.

it may be basic surviving but its not prepping.
 
Add some bakers yeast to that hard tack, and you'll at least have bread. It will save your teeth. ;) How much you put into prepping is in relation to how much you believe something is actually going to happen. If you think the odds are only one in a hundred, your not going to invest much into it.
