Do you have an emergency food supply? I'm thinking of hoarding some food but I'm not sure what and how much

[Anonymous No.17898079]

That would last like two days tops.

I keep a year or so of rice and beans and oil and salt around. Plus a chest freezer that's usually full.its best to buy extra of the dry goods that you eat. I don't store cuscus or macn cheese because I don't eat enough of those.

im a prepper & if youre just starting ill tell you the best to start is buying rice & beeans. shop for rice & beans that has the most proptein..so for example:

basmatti rice
jasmine rice

navy beans
lentils

start buying these 2 staples then next in line is:

hard wheat
soft wheat

you start with these items first because they are so versatile & inexpensive. after these items, i would recommend buying freeze dried veggies:

fd tomatoes
fd onions
etc

the fd items will be much more expensive but the versatility in what you can cook doubles or triples with these few items.

i calculated the calories: i can survive on 1000 kcal/day for 90 days with the canned and dry goods i have stored away. most of that is rice, beans, deenz, and peas.

One year supply of rice for one person only costs like $150 where I live. Pretty cheap life insurance

[Anonymous No.17898310]

>>17898076
I keep a decent amount of stuff around. For instance I was giving water away during that storm that fucked up Texas. I also keep a lot of rice & beans around as well as various canned foods like various vegetables, spam, sardines, beans, etc. Also pasta.

Something to remember is to cycle through your supply so your stuff is always a decent ways away from expiration. That doesn't just go for food, for instance a lot of people keep bleach around but it degrades over time.

[Anonymous No.17898362]

>>17898136
I keep the one I'm using in a few more manageable plastic containers. The rest is stored in mylar bags and then put downstairs in totes. I don't get what preppers obsession with those expensive five gallon buckets with gamma lids. Consumer whores.

This is pretty much true, which is why suicide is so low in miserable shitholes but high where life has a minimum standard of comfort. Nobody thinks about killing themselves when they're struggling to meet basic physiological needs. Suicide is a luxury for people who have the opportunity to stop and think.

>>17898076
a little, like enough for a month
but that's mostly cuz i live in an earthquake prone area, plus there are few roads here so a landslide or two can cut the town off for a week sometimes.

best "prep" you can do is grow your own vegetables and have a water supply (just buy a water tank, they run ads and discounts on TV all the time).
a veggie garden isnt something you can just do on a moment's notice even if you know how to do it.
start now and learn. you'll learn shit, you'll save money and if shit goes bad you'll be enjoying daily fresh fruit and veg while cunts around you are eating canned beans.

as for power, if your climate/area works for it consider solar. every few years the govt does a 50% rebate or whatever program so just wait for one of those and jump on it while it's cheap.
unless you live somewhere that's sun deprived 2 panels will give you free power for a large house no problems.

then you could look at getting into hunting & fishing.
you dont even need a license to fish assuming you dont live in a shithole.
both are skills worth learning now and not later.

Sorta, in the sense that I have an entire pantry full of OP.jpg. But I eat those foods daily anyway which thoroughly rotates the supply.

The real emergency supply is guns, other hunting equipment, arable land, and metal/glass containers. Just having more than a couple month's worth of food is useless because most people don't have that much and then they get grabby grabby.

1) Spam and other canned salty meats as well as fish canned in oil last forever
2) Refried beans and ready to eat food in cans that you can eat cold
3) Biscuits and Hardtack, if you're in Europe, dark breads in foil
4) Water in collapsible container, add some silver ions to stop it from spoiling, lasts 6 months
5) Nothing that you need to cook - so no rice or dry beans or noodles

Of course, it's only reasonable in terms of natural disasters, power outages etc. Not to mention the impending economic collapse.

MRE's are quick and easy, many costco's sell them. Dried beans and rice are also cheap but you need to have a way to cook them. Canned meats are gross but give you extra protein, I'd lean toward canned soups to have a better flavor:nutrition value. Whatever you get, be sure to get some seasonings and sweeteners for a little extra luxury. Goes a long way in an emergency. Water is also important, either cases of bottled water or filters for well/stream water.

>how much
Depends on what you're comfortable with, if you're preparing for ~2 weeks without power or water due to an earthquake or if it's for total SHTF scenario. We have ~1 year's worth for my family but I also garden and my husband can hunt. We're pretty rural so even 5 years ago kept around 3 month's worth.

[Anonymous No.17907749]

>>17898076
Storing rice is a good place to start. It's easy and cheap. Get a few food grade 5-gallon plastic buckets with gamma lids. Each bucket can hold 36 pounds of rice. You also need some 5 gallon mylar bags and some oxygen absorbers that you can order online. Put bags in the buckets, then rice in the bags, throw in the oxygen absorbers and then use a curling iron to seal the mylar bag shut. You now have 70+ pounds of rice that will last 40 years if stored in a cool and dry place. check out discountmylardotcom for bags and absorbers as well as info on how many absorbers you need for different amounts/types of food.

Based on a 1500 daily caloric diet (rationing diet).

>1 cup of dry white rice yields 3 cups of cooked white rice
>1 cup of cooked white rice yields 200 calories
>1 lb of dry white rice is 2.5 cups, which yields 7.5 cups of cooked white rice, or 1500 calories

If you were to subsist on white rice and multivitamins alone, you would require 1 lb of dry white rice daily to meet a 1500 daily caloric intake per person. Obviously, nobody wants to live on white rice alone, but in an emergency situation where food is scarce, these are important numbers to know.
