Back to Basics: Food - Ep 227

Quick Series Overview
  • Back to Basics Series: A 12-part series covering essential preparedness topics to build a strong survival foundation.
  • This Episode: Focused on food preparedness — what to store, how much, and the best ways to store it.
    • Episode Highlights

    • Why Food Matters: Food fuels your body and brain, keeps morale high, and helps you stay sharp during a crisis.

    • How Much Food You Need:

      • Short-Term: At least 2 weeks' worth of food for each family member (2,000 calories/day).
      • Mid-Term: Build up to 3–6 months of staples like rice, beans, pasta, and canned goods.
      • Long-Term: Aim for 1 year of food — include freeze-dried meals, bulk grains, and preserved foods.

      • Types of Food to Store:

        • Short-Term: Canned soups, granola bars, and pasta for quick, easy meals.
        • Mid-Term: Bulk staples like rice, oats, beans, and powdered milk in food-grade buckets.
        • Long-Term: Freeze-dried meals in #10 cans, dehydrated fruits, and vacuum-sealed snacks for variety.

        • Storage Tips:

          • Store in cool, dry, dark places — avoid garages or sheds.
          • Use mylar bags, oxygen absorbers, and vacuum sealers for extended freshness.
          • Rotate your food ("Eat what you store, store what you eat") to prevent waste.
            • Takeaway:
            • Food preparedness isn’t just about stockpiling — it’s about having variety, redundancy, and a rotation plan.
              • Challenge:
              • Do a "food check" at home this week — how many days’ worth do you have? Are there any gaps in your supplies?
