When we store food from a survival food list, we are following excellent economics. We need a total plan, to slowly acquire, little by little, all the edibles that we might need.

Here I am going to give you the guidelines of such a plan, the main elements, so that you can easily see the difference between a good plan, and a better one, after you read this writing.

During a survival situation, some things, which might brighten our spirits, are tea, gum, and candy.

If we prefer not to wind up eating worn out food, then we need to upgrade old stock with new.

We might do this by putting labels on our cans, with lists, or by sorting our food on a variety of different shelves. One shelf has packages that become outdated within the same period.

Now we begin to by extra amounts of our usual food supply, until our surplus will be enough to last for 1 year. We do it bit by bit. Each time we go to the store we buy some more surplus products or cans.

Beyond the masonic grocery items, we keep a goodly stockpile of seeds, of fruits, vegetables, and spices.

Honey lasts a long time. Raw honey is best. Locally made honey alleviates pollen allergies, in the locality, where it is created. You can put honey on lacerations, for it is antibiotic.

The topic, of 72 hour kits, is a reasonable beginning place, in stocking up for emergency survivalism. There is no way to tell know whether we will find ourselves staying put, fleeing by car, or afoot.

The survival food list for our 72 hour kit will be different from our edibles with long shelf-life, for a more stable long-range stash. We want eats that are light and take little room. For simplicity we will desire edibles that are ready to be eaten. Here are some possibilities for your kits:

You will find lots of folks, who pack their own food, in #10 cans, in 6 gallon buckets, in 2 gallon buckets, or in mylar bags.

For long term storage, in a permanent whereabouts, your food will be more secure in metal cans. Those cans must be packed for you by others, or else you must be able to use a dry-pack canning machine.

The basic survival food list for this type of stockpile includes whole grains, sugar, salt, nonfat dry milk, dried beans, and raw nuts.

Now the knowledge is yours, that you can use to assess any overall plan for obtaining and caching of munchies for catastrophe response. Next you ought to think about the more comprehensive plan.
