Welcome Preppers and Survivalists,

Stockpiler or Hoarder
In political circles, it is said "Control the Language; Control the Argument." I believe this is true, and you can see this with the word survivalist.

Survivalist has come to mean a wacked-out racist running around the woods with guns plotting to overthrow the government, and the same thing will probably happen to the word prepper.

Well, Riverwalker, at Stealth Survival, has a post you should read.

Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
Angela, from Food Storage and Survival, has a post about TVP. Since my partner is a vegetarian, we use TVP.

But,

It's not in our food storage, yet because we are trying to store the maximum amount of food for our family.

Remember your threat analysis.
