Where Do You Store a Year's Supply of Food? - Blog Entry

02 May 2009 08:22 AM

I have seen hundreds of food storages. I have helped organize & consult on what to have included in your food storage. I share the ideas that I have accumulated over the years.

Along with your wheat, beans & rice, your canned foods etc. Some even have MRE's & freeze dried items. Whatever it is you have in your food storage, I just want to give you a few ideas & suggestions. I am also open for suggestions, after 17 years, I still come across great ideas.

First, make sure you have a good variety of spices. You can eat the same beans or rice a lot easier when one day they taste like taco spices & the next day curry etc. A variety of spices will make anything easier to eat long term. I personally have many bottles of tobasco. I can eat bugs with tobasco, crickets, worms etc. I am serious.

In many emergencies clean water is a big problem. You will go through hundreds of gallons of water in just a few short weeks. Make sure you have a good water filter with your food storage. You use a lot of water to cook with & drink. A water filter that you hand pump will turn rain water, canal water or saved water from cooking etc. into good drinking water again.

Have some good vitamins. Make sure they are good natural vitamins that your body will digest & absorb. 90% of vitamins pass through you & end up clogging the sewers. True. I came across Lifecaps, that is what I have in my food storage, 72 hour kits & bug out bags. They digest & get in your system within 20-25 minutes. All natural. You can survive on lifecaps & water alone for months. They have all the vitamins & minerals, also iodine & a little natural sugar to keep your blood sugar level stable. I bought 25 bottles before I found a coupon code & then bought 75 more bottles. The coupon code is "healthcap" (save 33%) & you can find out more at lifecaps.net.

Keep hand sterilizer with your food storage & hydrogen peroxide. In an emergency people get sick & die from simple infections. In an emergency, you lose your appetite & forget to drink water, under stress. Your immune system suffers tremendously & small infections grow large. Under stress TAKE YOUR VITAMINS & DRINK WATER! You will have more energy to deal with the emergency & have a healthy immune system. Keep your hands clean when dealing with food & use the hydrogen peroxide even on small cuts as a precaution. It can save your life.

Maintaining Your 72-Hour Kit - Blog Entry

Bug out bag. Try to take foods that do not take water to prepare, I see so many bug out bags with things like, instant oatmeal, hot chocolate & soups. The water should be for drinking & take vitamins & protein bars. I also take a bottle of fiber, not only is fiber needed but it also swells for a full feeling. I came across what is called Lifecaps. They are a capsule that has everything needed to survive without food with the exception of water. It is full of vitamins & minerals plus Iodine. Anyway, you take three of them a day & drink water. I can actually take enough food in one backpack to las 6 months because of these little Lifecaps, protein bars, fiber & water. I will run out of water in a week so I do carry a small filter & a couple of those straw water filters that filter the water as you suck. You do not always have the ability or time to heat water to make soup or oatmeal. Anyway, after I bought 25 bottles I found a coupon code & bought 75 bottles more. The coupon code is... healthcap It will get you 33% off. There are also sites that have those filter straws that are cheaper than any of the stores around here. (SLC) I think they are a really good idea along with some purification pills. I cannot remember the sites off the top of my head but you can Google for aquamira filter straw. Aquamira is the manufacture but do not buy off there site because I have found them for almost 1/2 what they want on their own site on other sites. Good luck, Gods speed & get serious about your bug out bag! Todd in SLC
