How long could y'all make it just eating on the food in your freezer? I have 2 chest freezers that are nearly full. I have 4 or 5 whole pork loins. 4 or 5 pork butt roasts, 50-70 lbs of shrimp, 40-50 lbs of catfish filets, gobs of various chicken parts,50-60 qts of field peas, 10-15 bags of corn (creamed)' not too much venison, 15-20 qts of shelled pecans and LOTS of miscellaneous stuff. As long as the electricity stays on and the freezers don't go out, I have the makings of many good meals. Oh yeah, 4-5 beef shoulder roasts.

I think all of us have multiple freezers - you know country boys. Probably could live off just what is in the house for months.

5-6 months at all times. Longer if we ration. I’m not picky though, I’ll eat squirrel if it comes to that.

Agreed. But... if one could finger out where to find me and manage to get out alive or with all of their fingers then they can keep it.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Not even close to heading in the negative direction yet dropped the wife off at the store before going to a skunk call today. Picked her up and asked if found everything? Yep even a rotisserie chicken, 3 gallon sale on milk, ice cream and the elusive carrots.

Why would you tell people how much food you have, knowing how nuts they became over toilet paper? That is not a question, but advice for people on here to stop doing that as word gets around that Trappers are prepared, and hungry and poor people will decide they have a right to your things. If it is not them, it is the government as they are bent on going after hoarders.
Telling people that is the makings of not good meals, but trouble. Because hes bored, making conversation and didnt list his name or address on a website frequented by poor thieves??? Just guessing.
