Week 32 of 52: 1
Month Supply of Food (List 2)
Investing in food is similar to investing in an insurance policy.
Food storage, just like insurance plans, allow you to invest a little time and
money each month, in order to fall back on a safety net when you need it the
most. You might even say food storage is more fruitful, because you can reap
the benefits of your food throughout the year. My family and I are still living
off of dry goods that I first stored three years ago. Since that time, I have
noticed food prices increase considerably and am thankful for the forethought
in investing in my family’s well being. Did we have to sacrifice and forgo
certain luxuries, yes. But that initial investment of food has paid off and
gives me a sense of relief to know that I made a decision to benefit my family
for years to come.
One of the golden rules of prepping is “it’s better to be over
prepared than under prepared.” A great prep, therefore, would be to ensure your
family has the right foods stored to maintain a healthy diet in an emergency.
Stock up on food with essential nutrients to maintain body functions: proteins
and carbohydrates, fats for energy, as well as foods that are not high in salt
(the more salty your food is, the more water you will drink). To calculate how
many calories you will need in your diet, click here.
Those who are thinking of solely investing in canned goods
could be surprised at the amount needed and expense of such an investment. Keep
in mind that on average, one person’s rations of canned goods for a month is
equivalent to:
- 20 cans of
canned meat
- 34 cans of
canned vegetables
- 26 cans of
canned fruit
Many of us do not have adequate storage space, therefore consider
other foods that can help to supplement the dietary concerns of the family as
well as provide variety. A food storage calculator can be of help in this process.
Take notice of the canned items or pre-packaged foods you typically buy and
pick up a few extra the next time you are at the store. Stock the same food
items you normally eat. Buying food you don’t normally consume is one
of 8 Rookie Mistakes made
by preppers. To read more tips of which types of foods to purchase for your
food pantry, consider reading the 10 food pantry considerations.
Since we are concentrating on preparing for extended emergencies,
we must anticipate and prepare for the scenario that our stored food supplies
could dwindle. This could occur from improper food storage calculations,
survival garden difficulties, or dry good depletion over time. In Week 18 of this
preparedness series, we started learning different skills to preserve your
perishable food storage for future use. Food dehydration happens
to be one of the easiest ways to preserve food for long-term storage.
Nutritious snacks can be made from dehydrating fruits, vegetables and meat. Dehydrated soup mixes can
also be made for families on-the-go or can be added to bug out bags or emergency vehicle supplies. Canning foods is another
suggestion to preserving food. Because the food is canned at the plants’ peak
prime nutrient content, they will retain most of their nutritional
content, if not gain more nutrients from the canning process. Canned food will
keep 12 months or longer in some cases. Start learning these essential skills
today in order to be more self reliant in emergency situations. The more you
practice, the more confident you will feel in your abilities.
Can you imagine the nightmare of living through an extended
emergency? Being prepared can put you way ahead of the game. While many who are
unprepared for disasters will be battling to find a way to meet their basic
needs, being prepared can keep your mind on what matters most: your family’s
well being.
