Frequently Asked Questions

Start with 2 weeks of food per person, focusing on shelf-stable items you already eat. Gradually build to 1-3 months. Store what you eat and rotate regularly to avoid waste.
Rice, pasta, canned goods, dried beans, and honey can last 2-5+ years when stored properly. Focus on foods with long shelf life and high calorie density for efficient storage.
Portable camping stoves, solar ovens, and wood-burning stoves work well. Always use outdoor cooking equipment outside to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Have multiple backup cooking methods.
Use airtight containers like food-grade buckets with gamma seal lids. Add oxygen absorbers or dry ice for long-term storage. Keep in cool, dry places away from pests.
Freeze-dried foods are convenient and last 25+ years, but they're expensive per calorie. Build your base with regular grocery store foods, then supplement with specialty emergency foods if budget allows.
