Re: South African relevant survival/prepper info
I have just received my parcel from Sunspray. 500grams of Whole Egg Powder. Re constitutes to 2kg's of liquid whole egg.Cost was just under R60.00 Rated shelf life 2 years. I am going to vacuum pack into smaller quantities(size still to be decided). Have not eaten powdered egg since the 40's when fresh eggs where virtually unobtainable in wartime England.

Re: South African relevant survival/prepper info
I see that much of the stuff about prepping, both local and overseas, is heavy on the guns and gadgets, including large food stores.
Basically good ideas, but not always very practical as some relatives found out when they were evacuated twice during the Knysna fires. Luckily they did not have the problems with looters that others had.
I found a resource that gave me a totally new perspective; read "Listen to Katrina" at http://www.theplacewithnoname.com/bl...ons/index.html. It is based on real experiences from a guy who survived Hurricane Katrina. His recommendations are less of the "Grab your BOB and get out of Dodge" type and more what to do to get your wife and kids to safety and then live somewhere for a few weeks while the insurance company decides what to do about your (now destroyed) house.
I am glad to see the upsurge in interest in prepping in SA - anybody got ideas about a suitable "Redoubt" (as JW Rawles describes his proposed "safe zone").

Re: South African relevant survival/prepper info
My attitude regarding a "redoubt" or place to bug out to is that it's better to stay put.
Rather concentrate on first making your own home impenetrable to criminals, and then on getting to know your neighbours and discussing how the entire neighbourhood could be secured in the event of TSHTF.
My reasoning is simple.
If we're talking general civil unrest, then a determined front presented by a neighbourhood to marauding gangs of looters has been proven to be effective many times. The most recent being in Coligny where a relatively lightly armed (and well-disciplined) residents force kept the mob out of residential areas and avoided large scale looting of houses. I write this under correction to anybody who may have been there. Looters are in general not willing to get shot for the sake of a free tv.
If we're talking about a "government wants to kill you" scenario then you're pretty much screwed either way. If you're trying to bug out of such a scenario you'll very likely (unless you get out of dodge right away) end up in roadblocks and traffic jams and that = doom. Determined and organized residents have, however, historically managed in the past to defend what is theirs from state forces ... sometimes. My 2c

I've been told that It's long, under ideal conditions - we're talking decades.
With time, flavour and colour starts fading, but contents remain edible.
