hello people of stp, how much do you spend monthly on things like food, gear, shelter etc.? i'm really interested how high the expenses of different people, with different lifestyles are. on what do you spend most of your money? for me that would be food, depends on the location though. xoxo

Me and a friend of mine are planning to head on down to the coast next month and im trying to figure out what is the best food to pack when your in the middle of nowhere. (I'm sorry if there's anyone who already posted this before but I haven't seen anyone post a question similar or exact to...

So my background is a small town rural conservatism, where you don't get on welfare even if your starving, you resent handouts, etc. It took me forever to overcome my fear of eating out of the trash or dumpstering because of this cultural baggage. However, after I did overcome that fear it...

So I’ve worked at a food bank for the past year, and have some insight as to how you can get a belly full of good food for a few hours of volunteering your time. Most every small town has a food bank, and if you show up to help sort produce, stock shelves, sweep, or whatever needs to be done...

Newsweek published a article about the drop in SNAP "participation". What caught my eye was a quote from one of the prominent critics of SNAP, Garrett Graves - “There are talented people across our country who aren’t pursuing the full potential of their capabilities, largely because...

So now, typically I carry mostly rice, sometimes a little flour to fatten up a meal and salt and pepper, may be a few different herbs and a few bouillon cubes. High sodium but they make a little stew a bit tastier and taste can play a big role in mentality. I wanted to say about how I acquired a...

Something you need to consider if you are preparing for a SHTF scenario is food. Storing food may seem like a daunting and expensive task, but I found a list by “AZPrepper” which makes things easier for you. He basically came up with a list of $5 food items that you can purchase each week for a...

6 months and my EBT ran out. I'm in Arizona. I'm an arthritic man. Not very hirable. Good work ethic but the body is failing. Suggestions??

Just so you don't forget, tomorrow is Native American Heritage Day! It is a time when white folks get together, eat way too much food and try to forget the injustices inflicted upon an indigenous people. I'm sure if Hitler were successful in conquering the world he would have had a similar...
