Grey, great question. Staring to think I don?t know.

Here is my goal. Get the family ready for a 6-3-6 prep. Six weeks of eating well to smooth over disruptions in supply chain like we saw earlier in the year. Three months of eating ok in case of 2020 dialing things up past 11. Six months of getting by total nourishment, so the last 3 months can be rice and beans and vitamins but honestly don?t know. (After 6 months well.... we are all going to have bigger problems)

We are blessed with a large pantry that can feed us well for several weeks with shelf stable foods, and a freezer we are filling up. Pantry is being worked by my wife to bring it up to 6 weeks. She finally saw the light. I want to get to 3 months of shelf stable foods that we normally eat and will be rotated and replaced, sort of our own store.
The last 3 months of food is is what I am trying to figure out. Rice and beans in buckets? Rotate it yearly- donate to food pantry and buy new? Flour and lard? Yeah, not sure what to do here. This is meant as sustenance to be augmented with whatever can be found and not meant to be great eating.

Any guidance appreciated.

So part of me here is thinking this is a bit much, but even my Los Angeles based friends who have never even considered prepping are stocking up something fierce. That includes a new garden, generator and deep freezer to name a few.
