Mar
4th
After securing my relatives I go to the mart store exclusive to find all of the usual supplies are gone (can artefact etc….) what another foods should I look for that are non-perishable for my family to endure on until the power companies can get backwards on line. Note: I have about a 3 day cater of matter and water for my home but this senario calls for an extended outage due to accumulation loss of the power structure. I also have a kerosene heater with render but I can not justify a generator at this time based exclusive on a possible threat.

Bulk supplies of beans and grains offer best chance of lasting longer. The ability to find fuel to cook the food may become a problem. Perhaps charcoal or having a large fireplace to make your food should be considered. Instead of canned foods you need to use dried food. it takes up less space and is all edible instead of being 10percent or more of liquids. The availability of water is critical. Your budget is the only limit on stocking up. Remember you will not need much food if the family freezes to death. Prepare for lack of heating supplies. Weapons will also be needed to protect what you have from the roving bands of losers that will be after what you have.

Cuddles would get the 10 from me. Don’t forget dried fruits and veggies, vitamins and medical supplies. Hopefully, you don’t need meds required for health reasons. Doctors and pharmacies hate to give extras. We are preparing too.
