    How to achieve a years worth of food.

    One Year Supply of Food

    For every 2 people you have in your family add $10 more and double or triple the amount of whatever you are buying that week. Also it is possible to speed up your preparations. instead of taking one year to complete, spend $20 per week, and accomplish it in 6 months, or $40 per week, and accomplish it in 3 months.

    With a permanent marker write the date purchased on the can or box. When stacking the items on the shelves, always put the newest items to the back and on the bottom. That way it will be easier to rotate the foods out, in the order they were bought after accumulating them. The first item purchased in your one year supply of food is the first to be used.

    For items like flour, powered milk and other powered items can be stored in large five gallon buckets and sealed using those oxygen-removing packets, to increase the storage time. You may also want to add some dehydrated foods to your one year supply of food.




    I saw this a while ago on the "other" forum and thought some people on here would like to see it as well. I'm trying to dig up any article that i can put in my survival document on my desktop so I can eventually print it up into a binder and hand out to a couple family members that might be open to it.

    Good post! I like they lay out for week to week. That's not really how we are doing it, we go on a food trip once a month for a major stock up. It'll be really easy to adapt this list to a monthly from the weekly given. Also to substitute items you don't eat to what you do.

    Yeah, it can really give someone a better method if they're just getting into prepping

    I like the idea of having a list to check in with. I may just look at it to see what I already have and see where I need to improve.
    Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.

    The six year necro- that this post is committing is unavoidable.

    NOTE: Before anyone tries to light me up with the old "assume" bromide.... heard it before, hated it the first time, hate it now, save your keystrokes. If it gets trotted out here it gets reported as harassment.

    A couple of questions.

    The 100# of wheat... how much does that translate to as flour?

    I am also assuming the box of salt is the good ol' round Morton box most of us grew up with, and is iodized?

    I further assume that the items listed are MINIMUMS?

    K

    Addendum... I simmered all that down and took out the cash stash... here's what I got:

    15 cans tuna fish
    7 boxes salt
    10 boxes of Macaroni and Cheese
    39 cans tomato soup
    30 cans mushroom soup
    1 2.5 lb peanut butter
    2 bottles 365 count multi-vitamins
    85 lb powdered milk
    1 bottle aspirin (500 tablets)
    600 lb wheat
    10 lb honey
    210 lb sugar

    I'll run the numbers tonight after w*rk. K

    The wife and I do it a wee bit different. We store what we eat and eat what we store. Don't really purchase remade foods rather the basic ingredients to make meals. Doing it this way we expand on recipes to make different dishes for variety of flavor. Have the ability to adapt to the needs of the moment. The ingredients should be easier to transport since they would be larger containers. The only drawback would be the meats. Processing, Storage and Transportation. We grind our own, store it in a freezer and if needing to bug out it would be difficult to keep it in that state (frozen). Really this method is for the thought of store what you eat and eat what you store. If bugging out is imperative then leave the frozen and take the base ingredients and hunt.

    The last thing I have to say is simple. When the premade foods run out you will need to learn <-- how to prepare meals. If the SHTF it will add a different type of stress to the situation if you have to eat what your learning to make...

    Be decisive. Right or Wrong, make a decision. The road of life is paved with flat squirrels who could not make a decision.
