The supply chain crisis that our supermarkets are facing is far worse than the mainstream media has been telling us.  The mainstream media keeps trying to put a happy face on the “temporary” shortages, but an industry insider has let me know what is really going on behind the scenes.  This particular insider runs a grocery store in Maine, and he says that things are as bad as he has ever seen.  In fact, he says that he has “never seen anything close to what is happening now”.  The email that he sent me the other day greatly alarmed me, and I asked him if I could share it with all of you.  He gave me permission to do so, as long as I didn’t use his name.  I haven’t received an email this startling in a long time.  As you read this email, I think that you will quickly understand why I am saying that…

I’m self employed for 25 years, now, independent IGA affiliated grocery store in coastal Maine.

Supply issues are real! My supplier has limited us on orders for about a month now (limited the physical number of cases we can order)

Their issue is/was mainly the help crisis in their warehouse … order pickers and truck drivers. Same story everywhere, I know. Many of the items your reader commented about in this article are the same here … very limited gatorade, and gallon water is sketchy at best. Sometimes we get it, sometimes we don’t. I’ve not seen many supply issues in produce, rather poor quality issues there. Much more than normal. Deli / bakery … yes, lots of out of stocks and “long term unavailable” as my supplier likes to word it on the invoice.

In the center store – dry grocery … like others are saying, tons of out of stocks.

Meat supply is “fair” but pricing is extremely high. Shockingly high to me. The middle class is slowly being destroyed with these prices hikes … death by 1000 cuts of sorts, I guess.

My Frito Lay delivery person tells me that he is getting 55-60% of what he’s ordering. My last Nabisco order had 30% out of stocks. Over the years, we always get 99-100% of what was ordered. Pepperidge Farm Cookies … he tells me some weeks he’s only getting HALF of what he orders. These folks all work on commission …. if they don’t (or can’t) sell it to me … they don’t get paid. Or get paid less. When we place our liquor order (twice a week) out of stocks there are running 30% most orders. This commodity was ALWAYS 99.5 to 100% fill rate over the years …. always.

It’s frustrating. As I said … self employed 25 years, and worked for Kroger for 25 years before that … so 50-51 years in this business.

Never seen anything close to what is happening now. Add to that — a far left governor, and both houses here in Maine democrat controlled …. I just know we are on the verge of another mask mandate, and a lock down of sorts would not surprise me again as we move into the colder months. As you’ve seen I’m sure, Maine is in the news with COVID case surges (so they say)

I come to work every day just holding my breath for what is next … for our business and the 35 people I employ here in Maine.

This industry insider is trying to order normal quantities, but his suppliers are often unable to completely fulfill them.

As you can see from the email, the shortages are widespread, and this is the worst that they have been during the entire pandemic so far.

If there is something that you need to stock up on, I would grab it if it is still on the shelves, because pretty soon it may be completely gone.

On Friday I went to the grocery store and they were out of several things that I wanted to purchase.  Unfortunately, we continue to get more confirmations that this is going to become the “new normal”.

For example, according to Bloomberg meat reserves in this country have plunged to dangerously low levels…

A U.S. report Wednesday showed beef reserves down 7.7% from a year ago in August. Poultry supplies slumped 20% and pork bellies, which are sliced into bacon, dropped 44% to the lowest levels since 2017.

In most cases supermarkets still have meat on the shelves, but it is definitely a lot more expensive than it used to be, and we are being told to brace ourselves for more price hikes in the months ahead.

Of course other types of retailers are facing severe supply shocks as well.  A few days ago, another reader sent me an email in which he described what he is seeing at his local pharmacy…

The big issue, however, is at the local drug store; Rite Aid. The place is thin at best and stripped in some areas (last week there was no Zinc available). The beer cases are notably sparse. The main issue, however, is at the pharmacy. Six or eight months ago you could walk in and have your prescription filled inside of 20 minutes. If you called in the prescription the day before it was waiting for you. Not so any more. Yesterday I went to pick up an RX for my wife that had been called in last week. Not only was it not ready but I had to wait an hour before it was filled. There were nine cars in the drive up queue. I opted to walk in and it was nearly as bad. The young woman that helped me was clearly not local with bicolor hair and a large, glaringly obvious, in your face, Baphomet symbol around her neck.

I had a chat with the manager on the way out and asked him what was up with the Pharmacy staffing. I hadn’t seen the regular pharmacist for a few months. He blamed it all on the city for not having any affordable housing (lame) and mentioned that Albertson’s pharmacy, Albertson’s and Ridley’s were all very short on help (true).

Right now, dozens and dozens of drugs are in short supply.

In fact, the official FDA drug shortage list has 149 entries on it right now.

That is the most that I have ever seen.

As shortages persist, retailers are going to start implementing more limits.  Last week, we learned that Costco has already started to pull the trigger…

Costco on Thursday said it was reinstating limits on purchases of toilet paper, paper towels and bottled water.

They don’t call it “rationing”, but that is essentially what it is.

And we are also being told to expect significant price increases, because supply chain issues are causing costs to go through the roof…

Costco this week joined the long list of retailers sounding the alarm about escalating shipping prices and the accompanying supply chain issues. The warehouse retailer, which had a similar cautionary tone in May, was joined by athletic wear giant Nike and economic bellwethers FedEx and General Mills in discussing similar concerns.

The cost to ship containers overseas has soared in recent months. Getting a 40-foot container from Shanghai to New York cost about $2,000 a year and a half ago, just before the Covid pandemic. Now, it runs some $16,000, according to Bank of America.

I have been warning that rampant inflation and shortages were coming for a long time, but a lot of people didn’t want to believe me at first.

If you were one of those doubters, do you believe me now?

During the first half of this year, many economic optimists assured us that the U.S. economy would be “booming” by this point.

But instead our economic infrastructure is being shaken on a very basic level, and we are facing enormous price hikes and very painful shortages throughout the rest of this year and into next year.

Events have begun to slide out of control, and it certainly wouldn’t take too much to push us into a full-blown avalanche.

The post An Industry Insider Just Revealed The Truth About What Is Really Behind The Shortages At Our Local Supermarkets appeared first on The Economic Collapse.

This article was originally published by Brandon Smith at Alt-Market.us. 

EDITOR’S NOTE: As mentioned, waiting on the correct political leader is going to leave us subjugated and disempowered. We are the ones we have been waiting for. We have the power, not the ruling class. If only we could realize it, come together as human beings, and realize we do not have to be their slaves, and no amount of pomp and circumstance and voting can make them our rightful master. Government is slavery. They believe they have the right to rule us and most believe they have an obligation to be their slaves. Opening our eyes is the first step. The second step is laid out here, in Mr. Smith’s article. Unite, organize, resist, empower.

There is a simple fact that must be understood when it comes to the fight for liberty: Such a fight cannot be won by lone individuals. Freedom requires organized resistance and it does not matter how many millions of people stand against an authoritarian regime, if they are completely isolated from each other they WILL lose. It’s a guarantee.

This is why a considerable portion of establishment money, energy, and propaganda is directed at defusing or sabotaging any semblance of a conservative organization. This includes engineering false flag events and creating potential terror attacks from thin air so that they can be blamed on constitutionally minded groups. The strategy is called “4th Generation Warfare” and it is not a conspiracy theory, this is a conspiracy fact.

For example, as we now know according to court documentation, the supposed scheme by a Michigan “militia” made up of anarchists to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer and “try her as a tyrant” was heavily infiltrated by at least a dozen FBI agents and informants. The group was so infiltrated, in fact, that the entire plot for the kidnapping was essentially planned out by the FBI. This is the very definition of a false flag. The corruption and entrapment involved in the operation was so egregious that even the leftist media has reported on it.

I recall a very similar situation that occurred during the Malheur incident when Ammon Bundy (son of Cliven Bundy) and a group of patriots decided to annex the wildlife refuge and its obscure ranger buildings as a launching point for a revolution. Though I was a supporter of the efforts at Bundy Ranch, I was vehemently against Malheur because the whole situation seemed grossly suspect. The strategy made no sense, the rationale made no sense, the site of the standoff made no sense and the public optics were terrible. It was an anti-Bundy Ranch; a situation in which all of the dynamics were in favor of the feds and against the liberty movement.

And, not surprisingly, Malheur had also been influenced and in some cases was arranged by federal informants and agents. These people were whispering in the ear of Ammon Bundy the entire time while the FBI authorized them to commit criminal acts. There were so many paid employees of the FBI at Malheur that jurors decided to drop all charges against most of the defendants involved.

And what about the latest “J6” rally in Washington DC, which was planned by a virtually unknown former Trump aid and was quickly exposed as a potential “honeypot” designed to lure in conservatives? The army of plainclothes undercover feds was so prevalent that riot cops accidentally arrested an armed FBI agent thinking he was a protester.

Now, there are many people in the alternative media that are breathing a sigh of relief that almost no one showed up for the J6 protest or “fell into the trap”. In fact, there were far more reporters and feds there than actual activists. However, I think we need to look at the bigger picture of why the government is staging such events in the first place, and it’s not just to entrap a few conservatives.

If you think about it, the entire strategy is high cost/minimum reward if we only look at it in terms of actual arrests. If the idea is to catch and prosecute patriots, then they could infiltrate groups and engineer criminal actions for decades and achieve little to nothing. Obviously, this is not the purpose of informants. Rather, the strategy is not to invade groups unnoticed; the strategy is to BE NOTICED, to make sure the whole of the liberty movement believes that if they ever try to organize in any way the feds will be there to set them up. In other words, the primary goal of the FBI is to instill paranoia and fear among patriots and ensure they never effectively organize to resist.

When we cheer the “failure” of J6, we need to keep in mind that the establishment does not care. Getting people to show up was not their main intent; making people afraid to show up for any other events in the future is what they want.

The issue presents a Catch-22. If conservatives organize there is the chance that some groups will be infiltrated or set up and used to make the entire movement look bad. If we don’t organize, then we have lost the fight. It will be over before it even truly begins (and no, the real fight has not started yet). So what is the solution?

I think it’s odd but maybe not surprising that the standoff at Bundy Ranch has been memory-holed by the media and is rarely mentioned even among conservative activists these days. Yet, it was probably one of the most successful patriot actions in the past couple of decades. There are a number of reasons for this:

1) The action was spontaneous, not pre-planned, and was in response to criminal activity by the FBI (including assaulting women that were protesting and the use of sniper positions to surround the Bundy property similar to Ruby Ridge). The movement took action to remedy a government trespass rather than creating a standoff out of nothing.

2) There was no single person in charge. Groups showed up from all over the country; some of them squared away and some of them screw-ups. This might sound like a bad thing, but in terms of rebellion, it is often better to avoid streamlined top-down leadership. Frankly, I am usually suspicious of anyone that tries to anoint themselves the “leader” of the liberty movement or the sole leader of a protest action. Cult of personality is the most useless thing I can think of when it comes to battling tyranny, and top-down leadership can be easily manipulated or controlled.

3) Because of the decentralized nature of the response to Bundy Ranch, the feds had no way to influence or predict the outcome, and they really hate that. Without informants in key positions, the feds did not have the ability to adapt to the quickly changing circumstances. Contrast this with Malheur, where the feds were basically in control from the very beginning. The site itself was so isolated and ill-conceived that the FBI was able to dictate every movement of patriots in and out of the area. It was pointless for any militia to occupy it, but it was a great spot for the feds.

4) Patriots arrived at Bundy Ranch peacefully, but with the will to fight if necessary. The Bundy Ranch response had a clear objective – To stop the FBI from harming the Bundy family and to retrieve the stolen cattle if possible. Both of these objectives were accomplished and with no shots fired. A complete success. The group was motivated and unified by the objective, NOT a singular leadership. Without a clear objective, there is no purpose to any action.

It is important to understand the difference between a Lexington Bridge moment and a Fort Sumter moment – During Lexington Bridge, the revolutionaries took action to stop a British detachment from arresting colonial leaders and confiscating rifles and powder stores. The British were in the midst of an undeniable attempt to disarm and snuff out the resistance. At Fort Sumter, the Confederate attack was in response to an attempted resupply of the fort itself; which made sense strategically but looked like an act of pure aggression to the wider public. The concept of states’ rights (more prominent in the minds of the confederates than the issue of slavery) fell by the wayside.

Eventually, tyranny has to put boots on the ground. A totalitarian system can function for a time on the color of law and implied threats, but it will crumble unless it is able to establish a physical presence of force. Once those jackboots touch soil in a visible way and the agents of the state try to expand oppressive measures, rebels then have a free hand to disrupt them or bring them down. But this only works if there are objectives and enough decentralization to prevent misdirection of the movement.

Some organization is essential. It cannot be avoided. All the “Gray Men” and secret squirrel preppers out there that think they are going to simply weather the storm in isolation and pop out of their bug-out locations to rebuild are suffering from serious delusions. I can’t help but think of that moment in ‘Lord Of The Rings’ when the Ents refuse to organize to fight against the invading orcs. Pippen suggests to Merry that the problem is too big for them and that they should go back to the Shire to wait out the war. Merry laments:

“The fires of Isengard will spread. And the woods of Tuckborough and Buckland will burn. And all that was once green and good in this world will be gone. There won’t be a Shire, Pippin.”

If this fight is not pursued now, there will be no world worth coming back to, even if one was able to successfully hide from it. There will be a “new world order” as the globalists like to call it. There will be nothing left of freedom.

So, organization must be accomplished, and it should be built at the local level. This is far more important than any dreams of a national organization, at least for now. There is no one we can trust to lead such a nationwide revolt, and that includes political leaders like Donald Trump.

Will federal intrusions happen? Of course, but at the local level, it is much easier to vet people according to their behaviors and root out bad actors. Hold your local meetings to discuss current events and create a place for people to network and get to know each other. Talk to local businesses or your county sheriff to see where they stand on issues like the vaccine passports and Biden mandates. Put things in motion now or you will regret it later when your community is completely disjointed and paralyzed by fear during a crisis or government subjugation.

And, what about the first guy at your meetings that starts talking about building bombs, drafting “kill lists” or kidnapping governors? Kick his ass out promptly and make sure everyone knows why you did it. Most likely he is a fed or he is on an informant payroll. As our national composure breaks down and the manure hits the fan, fed informants and agents will suddenly disappear from these groups without a trace. They are not going to stick around for what happens next; the government doesn’t pay them enough for that. And knowing who the patriots are will not help the federal government if the patriots are organized to defend themselves. This is the reality which they do not want us to wake up to.

The federal government was originally created to protect our rights.  I know that sounds really bizarre to many of you, but it is the truth.  In fact, we actually have a document called “the Constitution” which is supposed to guarantee that certain rights are never taken away from us under any circumstances.  Sadly, the American people have allowed those rights to be steadily eroded for decades, and now the federal government in Washington has launched an all-out assault on some of our most cherished liberties and freedoms.  The bomb that Emperor Biden dropped on 100 million Americans last week represented one of the most pivotal moments in American history.  Previous generations of Americans sacrificed so much so that we could live free, but now the regime in Washington seems to be absolutely obsessed with dragging all of us into full-blown tyranny.  For those of us that deeply love this country, this is very difficult to deal with emotionally.

At least if Biden was willing to talk things over with us rationally, there would be some hope for resolving this crisis.  But that is not going to happen.  In fact, we are being told that Biden plans to “run over” any governors that get in his way.

There will be no compromises and no backing down.

Sadly, at this point attempting to negotiate with Emperor Biden and his minions is essentially like trying to negotiate with Emperor Palpatine and his minions.

So what can we do?

In Washington, our representatives should have already filed articles of impeachment.  I know that such an effort has zero chance of success because the Democrats control both houses of Congress, but it would be a symbolic move that would let people across the country know that someone in Washington is actually listening.

Much more importantly, it is time for state governments to start taking their power back.

We need a “new federalism”, but it wouldn’t actually be new at all.

If you ask most Americans what the 10th Amendment says, the vast majority of them would not be able to tell you.

And that is because the liberal elite do not want it to be widely discussed.

This is the official text of the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution…

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Many people are shocked to learn that this is what our Constitution actually says.

The federal government is only allowed to exercise the very limited powers that are specifically granted to it by the U.S. Constitution.

Otherwise, all other powers are reserved for the states and the people.

Our founders always intended for the federal government to be very limited in size and scope, and the text of the 10th Amendment could not be any clearer.

Unfortunately, over the decades we have seen the federal government grab more and more power, and our courts and our state governments have allowed it to happen.

It is time to say that enough is enough.

Joe Biden says that his patience is “wearing thin”, but the truth is that our patience with him and those like him should have been gone a long time ago.

If we don’t stand up now, we may not get another chance.  We need to demand that our state governments do everything that they can to resist this unconstitutional power grab and start taking their power back.

The good news is that some state governors are already starting to take action.  For example, just check out what Greg Abbott is doing in Texas…

Biden’s vaccine mandate is an assault on private businesses.

I issued an Executive Order protecting Texans’ right to choose whether they get the COVID vaccine & added it to the special session agenda.

Texas is already working to halt this power grab.

But this should just be the tip of the iceberg.

We need our state governments to barrage the court system with cases, and I believe that the 10th Amendment could be the key to so many of those cases.

Emperor Biden and his minions have gone way, way over the line with these unprecedented mandates.  We have never seen anything like them before, and that is because no other president would have dared to try something so blatantly unconstitutional.

But even if Emperor Biden’s mandates are struck down by the courts, governments in blue states could attempt to impose similar mandates on their own.

So this is another reason why I am strongly encouraging everyone to consider moving away from the blue states.

This pandemic has clearly demonstrated that where you lives really matters.

At this stage in our history, our best chance of preserving our liberties and freedoms is to do so at the state level.  We need governments in red states to take as much power back as they possibly can, and we need to do whatever we can to insulate ourselves from the blue states.

I understand that this is a very sad thing to say, but what other choice do we have?

The other side has made it very clear what they want.  They want to censor us, silence us, “cancel” us, get us fired from our jobs and push us to the fringes of society.

And ultimately that is not going to be enough to completely satisfy them.

If we want our way of life to survive inside the framework that we call “the United States”, then a “new federalism” is the only viable option at this point.

In the end, a lot of people are going to choose to leave the United States entirely, but tyranny is on the rise all over the planet.

Needless to say, if our world continues down this path a very, very dark future is ahead.

If the government can force something into your body any time that it wants, you are living in a dystopian nightmare.

We could choose to just lie down and accept this “rape by government”, in which case they will just keep doing it to us over and over again.

Or we can stand up and try to do something.

Our founders put the 10th Amendment there for a reason.  Now it is up to us to put that tool to work.

What Exactly Is Canned Bread? | Canned Bread Types (Loaf vs Mix)

---

Canned bread isn’t exactly the type of bread you buy from the grocery store. The differences go beyond the can. In fact, the original recipe today’s canned bread is based on is older than cans themselves.

Canned bread was originally called Boston Brown Bread. There are recipes for Boston Brown Bread dating back to 17th century New England.

The traditional recipe calls for cornmeal mixed with rye flour, wheat flour, and molasses. The mixture was then poured into a coffee pot and steamed until it rose. This made a very dense and sweet brown bread.

The first canned bread was made by B&M, a Maine cannery now known for its baked beans. B&M started making canned bread in the 1920s. Their recipe is still made with molasses and cornmeal. It also has whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. There are two varieties: plain, and with raisins.

Another option for canned bread is using a mix.

Bread mix is a powder of various dried ingredients that comes in a can. Most canned bread mixes have flour, powdered milk, powdered eggs, yeast, and various conditioners.

In order to make bread from them, all you need is hot water, instant yeast, and vegetable oil. There are many bread mixes that can be prepared in a similar way to canned bread.

How Do You Eat Canned Bread?

---

B&M canned bread comes ready to eat. Some people like it better toasted. Others prefer it plain.

In New England, there are two ways to serve it. One is like toast, with butter, cream cheese, or jam. The other is with baked beans and sliced hot dogs. In YOUR house, you can serve it any way you’d like.

As for homemade canned bread and bread mixes, you can prepare them any way you see fit. Many bread mixes have instructions on the packet. Many can also be used in a wide variety of different recipes.

7 Reasons To Purchase and Stock Up On Canned Bread

---

Canned bread can be a great food to include in any stash or pantry. There are a few solid reasons to stock up on canned bread. They include:

1. Good Source Of Several Nutrients

Canned bread contains molasses, which is a great source of:

1. Essential for blood production and health.
2. Helps with nerve and muscle function, heart health, cell health, and nutrient absorption.
3. Needed for muscle and nerve function, blood sugar and blood pressure regulation, and protein, bone, and DNA production.
4. Aids metabolism, blood clotting, and the formation of bones. Also helps prevent immune inflammation.

Canned bread also contains a fair amount of calcium, which we need for strong bones,  as well as communication between the brain and the nerves.

Canned bread mixes, meanwhile, also have nutritional benefits. Some have valuable vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, iron, and potassium. Some also have protein.

2. Good Caloric Value For Your Money

B&M canned bread lists 8 servings per can at 130 calories each. This comes out to 1040 calories per can.  This translates to a pretty dense caloric load for relatively little money.

Canned bread mixes also provide a significant amount of calories for the money.

For instance, the Augason Farms Honey White Bread, Scone, and Roll Mix contain 5,880 calories (distributed among 49 servings), for just $7.62 (at the time this article was published).

3. Easy To Store

Both canned bread and canned bread mixes are easy to store. Standard canned bread comes in a standard 16 oz can. They are easily stackable and storable.

Canned bread mixes usually come in larger, industrial-sized No. 10 cans. These are also easily stackable and storable.

If space is an issue, larger cans can be opened and separated into smaller sealable cans. All these cans require is a space with no excess heat, humidity, or salt exposure, which describes most long-term storage.

4. Long Shelf Life

For long-term storage, it is essential for an item to have a long shelf life. As we will discuss later in this article, both canned bread and mixes have long shelf lives.

5. Versatility

A good long-term storage staple should be versatile.

Canned bread can be prepared in a variety of ways, and can serve as a good source of tasty calories in a number of different situations.

Bread mixes are even more versatile. There are many different things you can make from most mixes besides bread and rolls. Mixes can also be used to make pizza, pan-fried scones, breadsticks, and other recipes.

6. Easy To Prepare

One of the best things about canned bread is that it is a ready-made food. This makes it perfect for situations where other ingredients, tools, or appliances may not be available. You can slice and eat it straight from the can.

Bread mixes also have very little prep. The only ingredients needed are warm water and oil, and the only tool needed is an oven or even a fire.

7. Morale Booster

When serious emergencies happen, people may crave familiar things. Bread is a familiar food that can be comforting in times of uncertainty.

Having a quick, easy way to make bread can be helpful to boost morale.

How Long Does Canned Bread Last? Can it Go Bad?

---

Canned bread only has an “official” shelf life of two years.

However, the actual shelf life of the product is far longer. B&M bread can regularly last for 10 years or more, so long as there are no serious issues with the can.

Bread mixes have a much longer shelf life. When properly sealed they can last for ten years or more. Certain brands designed for long-term storage may last up to 15 or 20 years.

Can You Make Your Own Canned Bread?

It may seem simple to can your own homemade bread. There are recipes out there that tell you that you can. However, the unfortunate truth is that you should not.

These recipes cannot be made safely at home. While bread can be cooked in jars, it must be eaten quickly. They are not shelf-stable.

There is a specific reason for this.

Canning your own bread can cause Botulinum to develop. Botulinum is a common bacteria that can lead to severe food poisoning (or botulism).

All botulinum needs to grow is food, a non-acidic environment, moisture, and temperatures between 40-130 degrees F. If there are botulism spores in the air during the canning process, those spores may get into the bread.

Commercially produced canned bread is made under laboratory-tested conditions. These conditions ensure there are no botulinum spores around the bread.

It is not possible to replicate these conditions at home. We do not suggest making DIY canned bread. Instead, its best to leave it to commercial manuacturing.

7 Best Canned Bread & Mixes You Can Buy Today

---

Here’s a run-down of our favorite canned bread and canned bread mixes on the market.

1. B&M Brown Bread Original

This old staple is the original canned bread. It offers all of the benefits for long-term food storage that we mentioned above.

As a recap, it is easy to store, has a long shelf life, and is ready to eat out of the can.

It also offers a delicious treat to those with a taste for molasses.

A note for stocking up: these cans are heavy. As such, it might make more sense to buy in bulk to save on shipping.

2. B&M Raisin Bread

B&M’s Raisin Bread is just like the original, but even sweeter.

If you like raisins, it’s a real treat.

The raisins also add some essential nutrients, like magnesium iron, and Vitamin B-6.

3. My Patriot Supply Honey Wheat Bread Mix

My Patriot Supply is a go-to for preppers, for good reason.

Their products are consistently high-quality and reasonably priced. Their Honey Wheat Bread Mix is no exception.

This whole-grain mix only needs water, oil, and yeast to make a tasty dough. The mix is sold in #10 cans and is perfect for long-term storage.

It has a 10-year shelf life before opening and 1-year shelf life after opening.

4. Augason Farms Honey White Bread, Roll, and Scone Mix

Augason Farms is another prepper favorite, and they earn that title as well.

They stock a full range of emergency and long-term storage food items. Among them is this stellar bread mix.

The mix makes a standard white bread. It is versatile and can be used in many different recipes.

It also comes in durable #10 cans and can have a shelf life of 10+ years sealed.

One of the highlights of this mix is the price, which is one of the best deals out there.

5. Augason Farms Honey Cornbread Muffin Mix

Love cornbread? With this mix, you’ll never have to go without. This Honey Cornbread Muffin Mix from Augason Farms lets you add old-fashioned cornbread to any food stash.

The mix is great for OG cornbread and muffins but can also be used for other recipes like cornbread dumplings and stuffing. It’s heavy on the honey flavor but in a good way.

The shelf life is standard for Augason Farms bread products. Like the white bread mix, it’s packed in #10 cans and can last for 10+ years sealed.

6. Bob’s Red Mill Bread Mix

Bob’s Red Mill is a more commercial product and is available in many stores. It also has a following in the prepper community for its quality and value.

Their bread mix comes in a variety of flavors.

We included the shelf-stable 10-grain mix here, but there is a wide variety to choose from. They come in 1.18 kg packets that include instant yeast, so all you need to add is oil and warm water.

The directions call for a bread machine, but you can use basically any heat source. One packet makes approximately one 1.5 lb loaf.

This constitutes around 13 servings of bread.

7. Prepared Pantry Country Farm White Bread Mix

The Prepared Pantry is a family-run all-American store in Rigby, Idaho. We are including their bread mix for the quality and nutritional value.

Their White Bread Mix makes a tender, all-natural loaf that is rich in taste and nutrients. This is because it is made with milk. In fact, each loaf is made with the equivalent of ¾ cup of fresh milk.

Preparation calls for water and butter, but you can easily forgo the butter or sub it out for oil. The Prepared Pantry also has a wide variety of over 100 bread mixes to choose from.

What Is Powdered Peanut Butter? How Is Powdered Peanut Butter Made?

---

Powdered peanut butter is made by roasting peanuts and pressing the nuts to remove most of the oil. This process is used commercially to make peanut oil, with peanut butter powder is a byproduct.

Once the oil is removed from the peanuts, the remaining particles are ground into a fine powder. Some peanut butter powders have small amounts of sugar and salt added to the mix for taste.

Some peanut butter powders have flavor additives, such as chocolate. Other types have nutritional boosters, such as chia seeds, probiotics, and protein powder.

The result is a concentrated “peanut butter powder” with an intense peanut taste. Peanut butter powder can either be used as a dehydrated product or mixed with water to rehydrate into a paste.

Can I Make My Own Peanut Butter Powder?

---

Yes, you can make your own peanut butter powder.

There are many varieties of store-bought peanut butter powder. Those who prefer to go DIY can also make peanut butter powder themselves. Both are fine options with their own advantages.

Store-bought peanut butter powder is more convenient and comes ready for long-term storage.

Making DIY peanut butter powder gives you more control over the pressing process. This allows you to keep some of the nutritious fats from the peanuts in the powder.

These fats can increase the caloric load of peanut butter powder, which may be useful in SHTF scenarios. The fats also make it easier for the fat-soluble vitamins in peanuts to get absorbed by the body. [We’ll explore the nutrition of peanut fats and peanut butter powder later in this article].

Making DIY peanut butter powder also lets you adjust the ratios of sugar, salt, and other flavor additives to taste.

DIY Peanut Butter Powder Recipe

---

The recipe for DIY peanut butter powder has a few simple steps.

1. Roast the Peanuts.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lay whole or halved peanuts down on a baking tray in a single layer. Make sure not to let the peanuts overlap too much so that they roast evenly.

The roasting time for the peanuts depends on if they are shelled or unshelled. Shelled peanuts need around 20-25 minutes. Unshelled peanuts need around 15-20 minutes.

Once roasting begins, make sure to rotate the nuts periodically to help them roast evenly. You can do this by shaking the baking tray every 5-10 minutes.

2. Press the Peanuts.

Pressing the peanuts to remove the oil is a little more difficult to do at home. Industrial peanut butter powder is pressed with industrial-strength equipment. Industrial equipment tends to be more effective than DIY methods of nut pressing.

If you are making DIY peanut powder, you will be able to remove some of the oil from the peanuts. However, you won’t be able to remove as much oil as commercial pressers. This is not necessarily a downside, since these oils can be very nutritious.

The best way to press peanuts at home is to sustain high pressure. Put the nuts between two paper towels and roll them with a rolling pin. The paper towels will absorb some of the oil, leaving drier nut pieces behind.

3. Grind the Peanuts.

If you have a food processor at home, break it out for this step. If not, you can use any grinder, blender, or mortar and pestle.

When using a food processor, put the dried peanut pieces in the processor and grind in slow pulses of 5-10 seconds each.

Pause between pulses to dab away excess oil with a paper towel. Continue until you have a uniform powdery product.

Is Powdered Peanut Butter Healthy?

---

Powdered peanut butter is healthy. It has several major health benefits.

Excellent source of plant-based protein.

Powdered peanut butter is a great source of protein. Plant-based proteins are particularly important for long-term stores.

They help diversify your protein sources so you don’t wind up getting all your protein from one source. Plant-based protein sources are also more sustainable in certain ways.

They tend to be easier to preserve and store long term while also retaining their protein load.

Great source of amino acids.

Powdered peanut butter contains many amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. We need them to maintain many functions and to keep our cells and tissues healthy.

One of the amino acids that are most represented in peanut butter powder is arginine. Arginine helps maintain heart health, hormonal health, and circulatory health.

Rich in vitamins and minerals.

In addition to amino acids, peanut butter powder is also rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals. These include:

• Potassium. Helps with nerve, muscle, and heart health.
• Calcium. Maintains strong bones. Necessary to send messages between the brain, the body, and the nervous system.
• Magnesium. Necessary for healthy muscles and nerves. Decreases risk for Type 2 Diabetes and osteoporosis.
• Vitamin B-6. Needed for brain development. Keeps the nervous system and the immune system healthy.
• Phosphorus. Assists in building healthy bones. Helps the body digest carbohydrates and fats.
• Niacin. Promotes nervous system, digestive system, and skin health.
• Vitamin E. Maintains healthy skin and eyes and strengthens the immune system.

Healthier for diabetics.

Powdered peanut butter is low on the glycemic index (GI) scale. This means that it is less liable to change insulin levels or spike blood sugar in diabetics. Sticking to a diet of foods lower on the GI index can help diabetics manage their diabetes.

A terrific source of dietary fiber.

PB2 is a great source of dietary fiber. We need dietary fiber to maintain gut health. It can feed beneficial bacteria in your gut’s biome, which can help with gastrointestinal issues. It can also help you feel fuller for longer.

High in antioxidants.

Powdered peanut butter has several different antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect against “free radicals”. Helping to reduce your risk of diseases like heart disease and cancer.

Non-GMO.

If your peanut butter powder is made with real peanuts, it is guaranteed not to be GMO-based. This is because there are no GMO (genetically modified) peanuts on the market today.

If you’re particularly concerned about GMOs, you should check the ingredients in pre-made PB2. You’ll want to make sure there isn’t any GMO sugar or additives.

However, if the product simply has peanuts, cane sugar, and salt, you will not have to worry about GMOs.

A Note on Removed Fats and Calories:

Powdered peanut butter is lower in calories than standard peanut butter. Two tablespoons of regular peanut butter is around 190-200 calories. The same amount of PB2 is only 45 calories. This may be beneficial for dieters in normal times. However, fewer calories may not be as desirable in a SHTF scenario.

PB2 is also much lower in fats than peanut butter. Two tablespoons of peanut butter contain 16 grams of fat. The same amount of PB2 only has 1.5 grams of fat. However, this doesn’t automatically make PB2 healthier.

Powdered peanut butter does have less hydrogenated vegetable fats than regular peanut butter. These fats (aka “trans fats”) are linked to health problems like heart disease.

However, PB2 also lacks certain healthy fats found in peanut butter. These healthy monounsaturated fats can actually improve heart health. They also make it easier for the body to use fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients found in PB2, like Vitamin E).

You can address this issue by making sure to get monounsaturated fats elsewhere in your diet. Good sources of monounsaturated fats include:

• Nuts
• Avocado
• Fish
• Olive oil
• Wheat germ

How Do I Use Powdered Peanut Butter?

---

There are many different ways to use powdered peanut butter. One way is to reconstitute it with water until it forms a paste. Then use the past in similar ways as regular peanut butter.

You can also use the powder itself as a dry ingredient. Dry PB2 can be used in many different ways.

The post 8 Best Powdered Peanut Butter With An Extremely Long Shelf Life appeared first on Skilled Survival.

You may have noticed that the shortages are getting worse, and thanks to Emperor Biden things are about to escalate to an entirely new level.  Right now, global supply chains are in a state of complete and utter chaos and the essential machinery of our economy is breaking down all around us.  In such an environment, it is inconceivable that the president of the United States would issue a decree which could force millions more people from their jobs, but that is precisely what he just did.  Does he not understand the effect that this is going to have on the economy?  As you will see below, polling has shown that the vast majority of the unvaccinated would rather leave their jobs rather than submit to the injections.  That means that millions of people could literally leave their jobs in the coming months, and that would cause enormous headaches in just about every corner of our society.  Either Biden and his team are so horribly incompetent that they didn’t anticipate that this could happen, or they just don’t care.

In the post-World War II era, we have never seen global supply chains gummed up this badly.  We were promised that things would be getting back to “normal” by now, but instead it seems like the shortages are intensifying with each passing week.

Jeremiah Babe has posted a new video in which he discusses the empty shelves that he is witnessing at Walmart and Home Depot.  Countless others have also taken to social media to report on the shortages in their own local areas.  In all the years that I have been writing, I have never seen it like this, and it is at this exact moment that Biden has decided to drop a nuclear bomb on the economy.

Did he really think that he could bully millions upon millions of unvaccinated workers into getting injections?

According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll that was just released, a whopping 72 percent of all unvaccinated Americans would choose to leave their jobs if the choice was either get injected or be fired…

The poll found 16 percent of unvaccinated workers would get the shot, 35 percent would ask for a medical or religious exemption and 42 percent would quit their job.

When asked what they would do if they weren’t given an exemption to opt out of the requirement, 18 percent of those surveyed said they would comply and 72 percent said they would quit.

In the end, Biden will probably get a limited number of unvaccinated workers to submit to his injection program, but in the process economic chaos is going to be unleashed all around us.

Just look at what is already happening at hospitals all over the nation.  Scores of healthcare workers are leaving their jobs due to mandates that have already been imposed, and this is causing severe interruptions to basic services.

For example, a hospital in upstate New York just announced that they will have to stop delivering babies because so many workers have left their posts…

An upstate New York hospital said it will pause the delivery of babies in two weeks because of a spate of resignations by maternity unit workers who are objecting to COVID-19 vaccination mandates.

Lewis County General Hospital, in Lowville, will temporarily stop delivering babies after Sept. 24, WWNY reported. During a news conference Friday afternoon, Lewis County Health System CEO Gerald Cayer said seven of the 30 hospital workers who resigned were from the hospital’s maternity ward. He added that another seven maternity unit staffers were undecided about getting the vaccine, the television station reported.

Have you ever heard of such a thing ever happening before?

This is crazy!

And now right in the middle of a major health crisis, Emperor Biden has decided to make things even worse.  All unvaccinated healthcare workers will be forced to leave their jobs, and they will be banned from working for any other healthcare provider in the entire country that accepts Medicaid or Medicare (or both).

Of course just about all healthcare providers accept Medicaid or Medicare (or both), and so we are essentially talking about the entire healthcare industry.

So at a time when we already have a severe shortage of healthcare workers in this country, Biden’s decrees will soon force thousands upon thousands more out of their jobs.

If you haven’t figured this out by now, this should make you very angry.

What are you going to do if you have to go to the emergency room and there isn’t anyone available to treat you?

Will you just find a quiet corner where you can curl up into a fetal position and die?

Other industries are going to be absolutely devastated by mass defections as well.  In one city in Missouri, every single police officer has just tendered a resignation…

A Missouri police chief and all of his officers tendered their resignations, citing reasons from the pay rate to not having the proper tools to do the job, leaving local leaders scrambling to fill the positions as many departments already struggle to stay staffed during the anti-police climate that swept the nation.

“It will be a struggle to fill the police department back up with qualified officers, but hopefully they can start working on that soon and get that accomplished,” Stone County Sheriff Doug Rader said of the resignations at the Kimberling City Police Department, noting that most police stations are understaffed.

Those resignations were not related to what Biden just did, but it just shows what can happen when large numbers of people suddenly leave all at once.

If millions of Americans are forced out of work by Biden’s decrees in the coming months, we are going to see society crumble around us at breathtaking speed.

So you better pray that the courts decide to overturn Biden’s decrees, because otherwise we are going to have a gigantic economic crisis on our hands.

Before I end this article, I would like to offer a word of advice.

If you have a job that is covered by Biden’s decrees, don’t leave voluntarily.

Make them fire you.  This will allow you to collect a paycheck for as long as possible, and it will also allow you to apply for unemployment benefits.

In addition, making them fire you will also potentially strengthen your case if you decide to take some sort of legal action.

For those of you that have been put in this position, I am truly sorry that this has happened to you.  America is descending into full-blown tyranny, and our long national nightmare is just starting.  For many years, a lot of us have been warning that our liberties and freedoms were being eroded, and at first a lot of people out there did not take our warnings seriously.

But now we have a man in the White House that is acting like a third world dictator, and what is even more frightening is the fact that millions of Americans are cheering him on.

Hold on to your memories of what life was like before the dark times came, because those memories will bring you comfort during the very difficult years that are ahead.
