I still don't know how the water got in there......at this time I am pumping the water out and then see what is going on, I believe that some of it will be saved because they are in plastic containers.........will be working on it for the rest of the day.

Am I mad about it? hahahahahah hell no, is only part of what makes life interesting.

i used to have some sealed Klystron drums, with removable lids, military, about half the size of an oil drum.

if you can find containers like that at a surplus military or electronics place, they are very waterproof.

when i saw the thread title i thought it was going to be about animals eating your stash. i had a VERY vigorous squirrel eat all of my food & tree seeds, along with about a pint of soap, and it even ate part of a USB hard drive.

Well, bad news and good news...........the worse thing that could happen to a Cuban is to lose his rice........750 lbs gone, still have the 350 lbs under the bed, no mice or roaches in the house.......is safe........going tomorrow for at least 250 lbs of rice........more later on.

I will become the best friends of the birds around here, food for them what with all that wet rice for the next two or three years.

Good news? two pails of laundry detergent, ten gallons of cooking oil and a two gallons of dish detergent, nothing but bubbles all over the place, couple of other items..........the good thing is that everything was inside of individual plastic bags for ........just in case, which as you know is my plan behind the plan.

Only lost around $500.00 of food.........very lucky.

My CHARMIN?............uffffffffff only then would I be ANGRYYYYYYYYYY.

Did you figure out the source of the water?

Ponce

The wall itself...........to much bubbles to clearly see it and in a couple of hours I have to check and see what else is gone...........everything is going above ground now......fool me once, shame on you....fool me twice, no way Jose.

Ponce, in case you don't know, when you buy rice make sure it's not "enriched".

There is a law which allows MSG to be added to food with the only labeling being "enriched".

I think our rulers are trying to "enrich" the goyim.

Well, if is good enough for the Chinese it is then good enough for me.........

Put out some rice a while ago and when I went back there were five birds eating and three more looking down from the trees.........unlucky Ponce = lucky birds... I don't mind having that kind of bad luck....Yin Yan.

All that would happen is that I would have fat chikens running around as pets hahahahahaha, I know myself better than anyone else.

Back in Cuba the cook twisted the neck of this one chicken to kill it and the chicken took off running and was gone, came back a couple of days later with head backwards and we keep it as a pet........lived for many years.

Also had a dog that was born with only three legs......the damn thing could run faster than me and I was in the track team.

Luckily the grocery store by my house is storing all my dry goods, I'm just going swing by the day before the collapse and load up the truck.

Great stories, Ponce. I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but your positive attitude in the face of losing a large amount of your preps is very revealing to the type of person you are. Let us know if you need any help or anything else, you've got a lot of people here willing and ready to help if you need it.
