Post-Apocalypse Bread From Rolled Oats & Other Long Term Storage Products

Before or after the apocalypse, it's a winning recipe with none of the drawbacks of modern "bread!" Pizza is just a few more storage substitutes away when you really need a break.

Eating ketogenic during a famine is highly unlikely. Pound for pound as a source of energy, carbohydrates like rice, beans and oats just pack more of a punch in storage, no matter how much dried or canned meat you put away. One year’s worth of survival in storage - as meat - takes up the same space as ten years in carbohydrates and is ten times more expensive.

Carbs is a bad word now because our society has gone so far overboard on blood sugar that it is hard to believe anybody is still alive. Instead of imagining carbs as high fructose corn syrup, it is far better to think of it as a low glucose index source of protein and calories. The Barleymen of the Roman Coliseum built their colossal muscle mass on grains, tubers and wheat long before Arnold Schwarzenegger was born. As one of the staunchest advocates of paleo as the cure for the poisoned toxic diet of the Western world, I also accept it is possible to be quite healthy on a diet of carbohydrates as long as it is not our Western flavor of suicide.

Of all these evil products, none is worse than processed white bread. It is a man-killer.

Just think if we could eat bread and butter and we could do it without a flour refining facility. Bread is enormously complementary to a meal and very filling. Imagine if this bread was made from a miracle food that was good for insulin and weight loss and repaired your heart and arteries too.

Now to make it perfect, imagine that this bread could be made from one of the most common food storage ingredients … which in it’s raw form would be shelf stable for 30+ years or more with proper packing.

This is a prologue to the first Vault-Co episode coming up for subscribers, which will be focused on the absolute basics of storage and the most basic food staple of them all, much maligned in our modern world for the wrong reasons.

The king of grains … the humble oat.

Nothing can compare with the smell of delicious warm bread wafting through the ruins of a post-nuclear metropolis. Finally you’ve got an excuse to eat healthy and lose some weight.
