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.
You can stock these products yourself if you want to take the time and effort. It does not have to be expensive but it does take some diligence. Every time you visit your local grocer's, make a point of picking up extra basics that have long shelf lives and store them in a safe place.
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.
Canned goods should include meats, fish, stews, soups, fruits, vegetables, jams, jellies and juices. Peanut butter is also a staple that is high in protein and holds up well over time. Choose the types of products you know your family will enjoy and that they are accustomed to so meals are as normal as possible during a difficult time.
The main necessity for survival is always water. Bottled products are always good but larger jugs are easier to handle, clean and store. These receptacles are also better for cooking or cleaning. Carbonated, tonic, flavored or seltzer waters will give your family beverage variety also.
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.
Whatever items you decide to purchase for your household, it is very important to have a written inventory of what you have in stock. Dating and rotating the products is also necessary, especially if you are stocking items you normally consume from day to day. Keep all products from moisture, heat, pests and light sources and store in food-friendly buckets or other sealed containers or bags.
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.
