Eating In Emergency Situations:
Remember to stock up and store MANY mason jars, lids and rings, canning / sealing wax, plus all other canning and storing supplies. Get a canner that works on a grill or propane stove, and a solar dehydrator. We love dehydrating, and use the jars for that too.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS: BASIC FOODS TO STOCK UP ON... When stockpiling for an emergency situation (loss of job, whatever), the following is suggested for one person over age 8 (to prepare and eat healthy meals for ONE year) (buying OR canning yourself):
150 pounds of wheat berries
25 pounds of flour
25 pounds of cornmeal
25 pounds of oats
50 pounds of rice
25 pounds of pasta
50 pounds dry beans/peas/lentils/soybeans
40 cans tuna
40 cans ham
10 pounds dried turkey dices
10 pounds dried chicken dices
10 pounds powdered eggs
40 pounds applesauce
30 pounds dried banana chips
50 cans fruit cocktail
50 cans pear halves
50 cans peach slices
50 cans pineapple chunks, tidbits or slices
40 pounds of fruit juices
30 pounds corn
30 pounds green beans
30 pounds dried carrots
40 pounds potatoes
20 pounds dried potato flakes
10 pounds dried onion dices
