Emergency Planning - Three Day Stockpiling Food

Emergency planning with food doesn't have to be that complicated or expensive. There are a few basic stockpiling food rules to follow. First of all, keep the emergency planning simple. It's only three days, after all. So, that's three breakfasts, three lunches, three dinners and some snacks in-between, and it's a good idea also to have some food that you can grab very easily as get-away food, in case you have to grab something in a hurry. The next thing is, to use familiar foods. It's no use buying lentils if you don't like lentils. So choose foods that you are comfortable with and you and your group and family are comfortable with. Thirdly, go for variety when stockpiling food. While it may seem like a good idea to have baked beans at every meal - and it might seem easy - having baked beans for three-meals-a-day for three days is going to be very, very boring. So, look for a variety in your stable food supply that you enjoy. Make your stable food supply

nutritious as well. Having a nutritious diet is your best shot at staying well in the situation where you may be injured or you may find it hard to stay well. It's also very important in your emergency planning is to consider the special dietary needs of your group. If you have some vegetarians, for example, or people who have coeliac disease, you must consider their needs when stockpiling food, and don't forget your pets; make sure they have enough stable food supply for at least three days as well. It's also really important to make sure you have some food that doesn't require cooking in your stable food supply. It could be that the electricity is gone and that you can't have your normal cooking processes. So, things that you can eat directly from the can or the packet are always a good thing to have on-hand, and don't forget that emergency planning get-away kit. Having a few things that you can grab very quickly. Like muesli bars or a bag of nuts or dried fruit is always a good idea. Once you've got your stockpiling food supplies organised, the next thing is storage for your stable food supply. A cool, dark place is what we recommend. The best place to store your emergency planning food supply is in your pantry. Re-stock used items when you shop. Remember, three-days' worth of stockpiling food is the minimum we recommend. The more you have, the better. Remember, it's not that complicated. Keep it simple. Keep it familiar. Make it nutritious. Go for variety. Cater for those people with special needs. This will help you to get ready and get through.

The Food Supply – Emergency Plan

We are all trying to save a little cash as we're going through this survival preparedness

journey together So here are some ideas to save money on your emergency plan:

 

Number one - silica gel packets that you find inside the food supply or vitamins, sneakers they are everywhere. Basically a silica gel is a moisture absorbs. It's also a very pours substance that helps it too absorb moisture. This makes it very good for food and supplies dry storage. Be sure to save these silica gel packs they will absorb up to forty percent of their own weight when you get enough of them, lay them out on a cookie sheet put them in the oven at about two hundred twenty degrees for about two hours and that will dry them out to be used again in the food supply.

You can use the silica gel pack in combination with some food and supplies already on hand items that you may have. Let's say you don't have enough cash to go out and buy

the zip-lock mylar bags take a look and see if any of the food and supplies you bought from the grocery store uses mylar zip-lock bags, wash and clean them really well and air dry before next use in the food supply.

let's say for example I want to store some Swiss miss coco, the food supply is already in its own tin foil packaging but it's not as good as I would like to have it so I am putting it into the other mylar bag and  popping in some of those silica gel packet that will help reduce the moisture greatly extend the life of the food supply.

(Remember - silica gel pack is not the same thing as a oxygen absorber oxygen absorber remove oxygen - silica gel pack removes moisture.)

Number two - take a look in your emergency plan prepper garden and if you have one take a look in your local community garden to see what is growing out there. I happen to grow a rosemary bush as well as used for cooking so what I do is I dry the rosemary I use a dehydrator but you can actually sun-dried or just cure dry them, I took off all the little rosemary's leaves now all I have is the stems these are still extremely fragrant with rosemary essential oils and I can place these inside my prepping root cellar near the baseboards or in your cupboard to repel insects.
