It takes foresight to prepare oneself in the case of a national disaster or emergency. A three-month to yearlong supply of perishable items should be kept on hand at times to feed your household if you cannot get to a grocery store. Prepper food supplies are those products that individuals stock up on to be well equipped to nourish their families during a financial, man-made or natural disaster.
It is easy to stock up on these lifesaving products if you are willing to put in the effort and the time. It doesn't take large amounts of money if you do it slowly. Each visit to the grocery store should result in extra items in your pantry. Choose products with long shelf lives and select a balance of items to provide a healthy diet.
Dry goods can form the base of your stock. Select items such as sugar, salt, flour, baking powder and soda, oatmeal, rice, beans, nuts, seeds, powdered milk and drink mixes, coffee, and tea. Vitamins should also be purchased to prevent deficiencies. Products such as boxed dinners, cereals, crackers and cookies may not hold up long term but they can always be consumed first.
The types of canned goods can include tuna, stews, salmon, meats, soups, vegetables, fruits, jellies, jams and juices. Another choice that is high in protein and holds up extremely well is peanut butter. Always make it a point to select items that your family is used to and prefers to make your mealtimes as enjoyable and as normal as absolutely possible during these trying times.
Water is the most important to your survival. Bottled water is fine but larger jugs are easier to store and handle. It will also be more efficient when used for cooking. Flavored waters, carbonated, tonic or seltzer waters will help provide variety.
Consumers can actually purchase kits of products from companies that specialize in this type of emergency preparedness. They can be pricey but if your budget allows it and your time does not, it may be the best option for you. The products are freeze dried and can last for up to 25 years and more. The selections include side dishes, breakfast, shake mixes and snacks. They are available in a simple, basic form or have an extravagant selection of meals to enjoy. These kits may also provide cooking apparatus, water filtration equipment, matches or lighters, and utensils.
Always maintain a written inventory of everything you have stocked. This can tell you at a glance if the meals you make will be nutritious and well-balanced. Be sure to date and rotate the items especially if you plan on using them on a day-to-day basis. Store all of the stock in a place where moisture, heat, light and pests are not an issue.
A household should always be prepared for the unexpected. Whether you desire to stock up on your own favorite products or buy your bulk items from a company that specializes in prepper products, it gives great peace of mind that you are ready to meet any situation and your family will have enough to eat.
