We would just do what we do now, order Chinese.

Probably no more than a week at best. I've just not made the time to go shopping, too easy to run up to the local cafe and get something. But with hurricane season coming up, I will stock up and hope the rv will hold it, lol.

We could survive for the next years and years.We are thankfull that we have enough food in the freezer to last several months.By that time the garden will be in,fishing is good,and hunting season is just around the corner.

We could last maybe a couple of weeks?? Living on a lake means we'd be eating a lot of fish.....

Not alot right now, but as long as we have ammo left, we will eat.
Even though we may have to go against the law to do it.

The price of beef will be up next year but its not because farmers are selling their cows to plant corn, it will be because energy costs are way up for them also and don’t forget, pesticides and fertilizers are made out of oil which cost more now as well. Those costs and the added costs facing transportation/processing/wholesalers/distributers/retailers will effect beef like all other food commodities.

On this note, there are over 96 million cows in this country and I haven’t seen anything saying these numbers will change next year.


Looking for any information available on Del Rey "Sky Lounge" and Kamp King slide-ins for preservation/restoration projects.

Between what we have at home and in the trailer, I don't think we'd start worrying about food for at least a month!

We could survive for about 4 months. I could fish and live indefinitely on that so we're good.

Three to four weeks if we stretched it out plus another week worth of MRE's but my biggest problem would be I'd run out of beer long before that

We can agree to disagree.
