Back to the OP



The buckets contain wheat, rice, flour, sugar, coffee. One bucket is one of those "emergency food supplies" like Costco has that someone gave me. This is not all my food preps but one picture gives you an idea. I have a long way to go...

Im with kevden2005, green beans are gross, taste like tin to me for some reason.

SODA is a huge prep item I would probably be dead inside a week with out it.

Yeah, if it's the apocalypse then I want my dang soda. I might as well have a few and chill during the end, right?

I am prepping Cool aid, and natural sugar. Soda pop is out.

Are you guys watching those EXPIRATION DATES? Canned food does not go longer than 2 or 3 years if that. Mylar bags with dry beans and rice and Sea salt is cheap, good eats, and will last 5-15 years in storage.

Not true. Posted in another like thread-I just ate a can of beans out of my camper that was 13 years old. No problem. Expiration dates are a guideline not factual.

I started my preps with adding to my normal rotation of canned goods, knowing in cooler temps I could go past the "recommended" expiration dates on them. my goal was at least 30 days of nothing but canned goods.

I've now started to add to more long term freeze dried items. I'm starting with staple items, beans, eggs, rice, veggies, and building up that supply and then I'll round off with prepared entree items.

My soda isn't part of my preps, I just refuse to overpay for it so when holidays roll around and it goes on sale I stock up till for a while

Actually, it goes quite a bit longer than that.

Updated Food Storage (Note to all, this is after budgeting approximately 40 bucks a month or 80 bucks a month not including shelving and re-purposed pallets I got from a buddy at work... depending how my bills went that particular month). So everyone who says it is just two hard to do this. Just add a few cans every month above what you normally get (of things you normally eat!) and you will be surprized.


176 liters (will be rationed one 2-liter per person per day) I have a long way to go. In the crawlspace. This water has been washed bottles, sanitized with 'star-san' and filled from the tap. I have enough Iodine or bleach to render this water safe when needed, however I can also use the 2-liter bottles for SODIS.



This is where I am going to put my bulk items (sealed in 1 gallon sized mylar bags to prevent opening 5 gallon sized bags every time I need a particular item) Rice, Oats, Beans, Krusteaz, Quinoa, Popcorn, Wheat, and Dry Milk. (Meat pickling spice mix, and also various spice mixes for my prep recipes)



Every day stuff Like: Dish washing tubs (4 tub system) Hand clothes washing buckets with plunger style clothes washer. Toilet and bags for the portable toilet...Salt, canning supplies... I really need to get back into canning regularily. Soups, tomato products, veggies that are used in day to day dinner, chef boyardee stuff to keep the kids happy. Crisco! as well. Can't cook much without fat ... can we??


Pallet I am working on... every time I go to Sams or Costco I get an extra case of something. Veggies, potatoes, pork and beans, tuna, and some soups. The highest stack is 4 cases high.


I would say I am almost to where I want to be. I have some other preps like some things that are not food related (soap, gasoline, cat litter to cover each use of the portable toilet, etc, etc.) some are not pictured. Hopefully most of this will go into my nested bug out (absolute last resort) plan of my Expedition trailer build based on a M103 chassis trailer. pulled by my family's bug out vehicle.

I welcome comments.

If any of you have females in the house, I suggest keeping a stock of feminine hygene products on hand. Many worry abou food, water, etc, but sit down and think about what you need day to day. What would your most favorite lady do for several months without some of the things she needs monthly?
