Well foxkid and others, I guess I've been a hoarder my entire adult life. With the garden and the hunting seasons, the firewood gathering, and the mushrooming, I tend to put up the cornucopia of food while the gettin's good. If that makes me a hoarder, then so be it I guess. Can't imagine operating life in any other way.

I am a hoarder at any definition......save all my good stuff, cause I may need it later......annnnnnnnd I stock-up!
Any more I usually just do the "pickup" thing at Walmart, cause I HATE going in the store shopping. Well, I had to go in earlier this week on account of they won't let me buy the OTC asthma Rx I use except in person. It has epinephrine in it and I just may be cooking up meth. Even have to show my Drivers license. Anyway, I get that stuff, and figure to also buy some TP and paper towels because if you do the "pickup" thing you are limited to only a few rolls of each. In person you can buy a case if you want to. I bought a case of TP (24 of the 60 cent 4 packs....where else can you get TP for 15 cents a roll?). I also got a case (30 ct,) of their cheapo 50 cent paper towels. Honestly, you should have seen the looks a couple folks gave me! Being, even on a good day, a big somewhat grumpy looking redneck, they didn't say a thing to me. On another note, my frugal mother, God rest her soul, would have been proud that I got such a good deal.

So at what point did I cross the line? When I filled the 18 cf with antelope and cow elk? how about the second 18cf with pork, fish, and tri tips? Or was it when I filled the 7 cf with home made sausage and whole chicken? Then there are the 2 freezers with fridges that have veggies and frozen leftovers, Ya that has to be when it happened LOL I hope you have a back up generator.

Putting some food up is no different than saving a little extra money. I dont understand people who do neither. Seems like most folks do both or nothing though.

I think it's great if the grocery store shelves go bare. Hunger is a great motivator; that might wake people up. x2. as long as we put a wall around the cities to keep them in.

A while back, there 5 or 6 of us sitting around shooting the bull when the topic cam up about how high was getting. They kind of went around the table with their agreement and complaints laced throughout. Finally they looked at me and told them, hey in a few weeks I hopefully will be able to supply any of you that would like enough meat for several meals. Well, they all got really excited and was making out their lists. Their was another guy standing off to the side, and he was chuckling like crazy. On of the guys at the table asked him what was so funny. Once he was able to regain his composure, he said, you didn't ask him what kind of meat it was...
They all set there with a puzzled look on their faces, and one got up enough courage to ask me what kind of meat it was...
I said... well... there will be muskrats, raccoon, possum, squirrel, and if lucky maybe a rabbit and a groundhog. Well a couple of the city boys turned green and everyone else got up and left the table.
Oh well... what can I say? I guess they weren't as hungry as they thought.
