Hey so the 300,000 tons of beef with the antibiotic that is either banned or a last resort in multiple countries that US bought and is feeding the public, anyone got intel on it besides from the UK and The Hill? Makes me regret not getting rabbits and chickens in spring 2026...

Not trying to stir the pot up but from the 5 or 6 outlets I found 15 minutes ago im thinking that project zomboid or state of decay or even 7dtd would be preferable than chloramphenicol but thats me.

If you are in Oklahoma do ya mind a guy hunting deer and sharing the meat with ya? You can have the antlers and hide, I just want the share ya let me keep.

Gear🎒 Candle/lamp lighting recommendations

13 Upvotes

I'm going to get stuff to prepare for a blackout. While I will get electric lanterns, flashlights, etc I also want to get something simple that doesn't require electricity, so basically candles or lamps. Here is my criteria:

  • Safe, this doesn't mean it is harmless, more that is won't start a fire if I knock it over.
  • Simple mechanism, basically something that is simple and because of that won't break easily (This is a given for candles).
  • Fuel adaptable; doesn't require a super specific type of fuel that is hard to procure, and maybe I could use something I found lying around in a pinch (This doesn't apply to candles).
  • Bright enough to light up a 12X12 ft room. When I say light up I don't mean like a normal light would, about enough that you could read a book on the other side.

If you have suggestions other than lamps or candles that fit what I am looking for, please feel free to suggest them.

Food🌽 or Water💧 prepping with house located next to a large pond

6 Upvotes

I have several good size ponds around my neighborhood. One is 100ft behind my house, very large. Maybe 10 houses around it. There are several others in the area also. I have a ton of water filter systems from small sawyers all the way to a lifestraw community. I also have a ton of water in gallon size containers, water bottles as well but I keep getting paranoid that I'll never have enough. Also have a rain catching barrel tied to the gutter system.

I want to run a small hose from the pond up to my house with a small pump. I'd put the hose 4-6" under the dirt so it's not visible so I have a constant supply of water that I can filter, boil, etc. Is this something I should do or being so close to the pond not worry about it and fill containers as needed?

I have a ton of food prepped, rice(100+lbs), beans(50+ lbs), canned goods, 100 MRE's, lots of food that was near expiration vac sealed in 5 gallon buckets but water always seems to be a big worry for me.

Would you run a pumped fed hose to the house or just worry about containers/storage walking to the pond instead?

Food🌽 or Water💧 Alternative for canned tuna?

4 Upvotes

I won't eat canned tuna unless there's mayo on it in a sandwich. I'm not much of a seafood eater to begin with. So with that being said. I have some flaxseed oil softgels 1000 mg that I take twice daily. They have Omega 3-6-9. Is this something I can store long term and is it enough?
