Important thing for survival is to put a wet towel over the scotch bottle. The evaporative process keeps it cool enough to drink without ice-I've done this before after Andrew.

I love all chilli con carne. The best is my homemade with antelope venison. Very lean. Low fat foods for prep is a good idea. Ever had a gall bladder attack? Well fatty foods is a huge factor in them. Would hate to have one during a SHTF or even a real bad storm with power outages. Prep foods without lots of fat for this guy.

Canned Chili is pretty marginal.
But how low can you go?
Let’s go right past Spam to Potted Meat.
This guy liked it and he did okay.
Or maybe not.

Potted meat? That's sinking to a level below canned chili. Surely that's not meat or even meat byproducts in potted meat. Nasty stuff indeed.
Once, when I had a pan of Hormel chili on the stove, my shepherd/husky mix took it as permission to poop on the kitchen floor. When I got a whiff, I understood why. That is all I have to say about the subject.

When I was on temporary duty and funds were really tight i would eat really bad canned chill, potted meat, Vienna sausages, smoked herring, sardine i would buy at the commissary. I had to hunker down during a Typhoon a couple times those things came in handy.

I used to eat canned chili occasionally but always preferred making my own. Now I have to make my own, using salt substitute, because all the canned stuff has too much sodium for my heart problems. All canned chili required considerable doctoring to taste anywhere near like the home brewed.
And dammit, I'm not supposed to have Spam anymore.

That supply of live animals looks like a good long term survival plan, and a good plan for fresh food.
But, I’m just thinking out loud, to me having a good portion of my survival food out in the yard wearing wings during a hurricane just seems like a bad idea. I still might take my chances with cans, just sayin.
Nalley's chili over scrambled eggs... All I'm going to say.

Nothing wrong with Hormel Chili when used to cover the taste of cheap hot-dogs 
I make my own.............................
but if the SHTF and I had to go the "canned" route.......the can of chili would be a starting point...... add a can of black beans...... diced tomatoes ........ season to taste with chili powder, cumin and cilantro...... keep the crushed red pepper handy.
serve over rice if needed........

I suppose if you had to you would eat whatever you could get your hands on. Having said that I have never found a canned chili that I cared for. Now if you don't want to make your own, ingredients by ingredients you might want to try Wick Fowlers Chili mix. Comes in a box, you add meat of your choice and you can tune it to mild to wild. Once you have had Southwest chili or TexMex you will throw rocks at canned chili.

Good food doesn't come in cans.
Well....... except for beer.

If I had chickens, the coyotes would love me. If the coyotes switched to the chickens, the cottontail bunny rabbits would love me.
Living a ranch with no electricty, refrigeration etc. That stuff you ate was daily fare when I was a kid.
Haven't touched any of it since I left home for college 60 years ago.
I could eat it if I had to but I'd rather not.

I will eat out of a can but I prefer home made. Lot of people here in Houston stocking up on canned goods after the last couple of storms. Those fresh ingredients go away when power and resupply disappear for extended periods. Some people around me still haven't got back into their homes so stocking up cans makes more sense than it used to. Ate out of cans for most of a year straight in Nam so I won't starve.

I prefer Dennison's with beans or Hormel's/Nalley's without.
Beanless for tamales and with beans on omelets. Sometimes with beans just as is for lunch (crackers, onions and hot sauce doesn't count!)
