Food Storage 101 - What You Should Know
Many experts recommend that you have at least 1 months worth of stored food for emergencies, disasters, unemployment etc. Depending on their beliefs about where this country is headed, many people think you should have much more than that. Recent events have many people worried. Recessions, depressions, massive layoffs, runaway inflation and endless government money printing has many people worried. Having food stored away just in case gives you peace of mind and helps you to provide for yourself and your family no matter what emergency comes your way. How Do I Get Started? For example, some people choose to build their own food storage by choosing foods a la carte and slowly building their stores up. The advantage to this is that you can choose exactly the meals that you like. Plus you can spread the costs out over time. Many other people prefer to just 'get it done' and order premade 3 month, 6 month or even 1 year packages of food that carry breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for a certain number of people. The advantage to this is that it's convenient (you get it all done at once and don't have to worry about it again) and you'll also save money per meal by buying in bulk. It can also save you money should something bad happen (survival food prices will also skyrocket if food inflation hits) You buy it now and then don't worry about it again. It really depends on what you want to do, your preferences and your budget.
What Should I Buy?
Again, this depends on you. Some people like to store bulk foods up like sugar, beans, flour, etc. However most people are not the Martha Stewart type and in an emergency, really won't have the tools to whip up something from scratch. You can also get complete freeze-dried and dehydrated meals like lasagna, teriyaki chicken, veggies and even fruit or freeze dried ice cream. These foods have a long shelf life so you don't have to worry about changing them out. And for the most part all you have to do is add hot water and stir so they are super-easy to prepare. Even your kids could do it. So for many people, these meals are more practical and will get them through an emergency with comfort. You can find these freeze dried and dehydreated meal packages at places like eFoods or Wise Foods
Final Note Do your research (that's why you're here!) and find an emergency food storing plan that's right for you. But whatever you do, don't wait. Don't put it off. When you have some food stored away, you can sleep easier, knowing that you and your family are prepared. Should something happen, you won't be running around with thousands of other people fighting for the last loaf of bread.
