What is your unconventional prep. Something that you think is uncommon or weird, but will always keep extras of?

Personally I've been really big on keeping canned pumpkin on hand. While it's not the most nutrient dense food around it has the most fiber out of any canned item I can find and adds a new taste to everything. Goes great in mashed potatoes and soup.

I have a ton of coffee filters. Way more than what I have coffee for.

At the very least they can be used for first level water filtration in a system. They'd breakdown quickly though

I thought so too but plain cold water doesn't seem to flow thru them very well. However, it would need to be then boiled anyway so might as well start by boiling it first and then filtering it.

Coffee filters are super underrated - they're also perfect for covering food in the microwave when your power is out and you're running off a portable power station (check out GearScouts if you need to compre options with good LFP batteries).
