Yes it is. Honey has been found in various pharaohs tombs in Egypt -and it is still edible.

This web site has a ton of great information for preppers, she gives links and info on tons of products and things to think about. I realized this AM I had not thought about doing my laundry!!! OH my, that will be very important. Again water being the issue, you want to use as little as possible if your having to ration your water. Being able to stay clean is so important for many reasons!

Re: Food with the longest shelf life?

Funny you would mention laundry. We were at Costco this past Friday and saw a small hand powered laundry machine which was only about 30 bucks or so. I've thought about this myself so will probably go back and get it. You can't wash much at a time with this thing but it only takes a gallon or so of water per load with a thimble full of HE detergent.

Ya, I know Rush has a spoof ad out about a hand cranked washing machine that you fill with 50 lbs of gravel and a quart of water -and after 45 minutes of turning your cloths coming out smelling, exactly like they did when you put them in! LOL

Well glad to hear that, I will have to check at Costco the next time I am there...staying clean is going to be very important!

The more I prep the more I realize how vital water is! We were able to get a IBC from our son awhile back. My hubby is going to connect it to the gutters on his shop, it has a metal roof and won't have as much junk running off. We got the gutter clear stuff from Costco and installed in his gutters to be first debris filter, he then got a couple (also from our son) down spout filters to further remove particles, then we will build a fine filter to remove all the little stuff. The last step will be pour though the Berkey if we are needing to drink it, if not it will be clean for laundry, hair washing, what ever the need other than drinking...

Living in the desert, water is my #1 concern. It is easy enough to store water for an extended period if all your doing is drinking it, but when you factor any sort of hygiene, washing cloths regardless of how efficient you do it, and even enough to water a small garden, suddenly the amount you needs increases 10-100 fold.
