Only stockpile canned foods and dried foods. Stay away from freezer foods. If the electricity goes out, all your freezer food will spoil. You can get a portable generator. But it would be very aggravating. Also get a cook stove that runs off propane gas, and get one, or two 500 gallon propane tanks. Get a couple outside camping stoves that runs on propane. Some outside grills have a little burner for pots and frying pans. Natural gas lines could easily be disrupted. If you think it's ridiculous to do this much preparation, forget the whole thing. You can't survive only on a few cans of food, and a couple bottles of water.

We stay away from the pop-top canned foods. Had too many lid failures over the years. We don't even have an electric can opener. Just manual. My kids have been opening cans almost since they could reach the drawer. I've opened them with my knife hundreds of times at work or in the field. Most canned food is just a filler. Yes, some nutrition is inside. Multivitamins are helpful if you don't have access to fresh produce. Protein powder is a staple in our home. It's expensive these days, but whey protein has lots of health benefits. Stores for a long time too. We use oats to make meat loaf, salmon patties and home made granola. I used to put it in a container with cottage cheese, raisons, honey and cinnamon for work.

I normally have a good stock of the items recommended. So I won't be rushing out to the supermarket to buy extras

Commercial peanut butter is loaded with hydrogenated fat and sugar. Tuna contaminated with heavy metal, overfished, and overpriced. Try herring, sardines, and anchovies instead.

White rice stores better than brown rice in the long run

I got 3 plastic containers with canned beans.also have them in dry form. Plenty of wheat berries plus rice.

Funny, I went to the Red Cross website and didn't see these items recommended individually nor the requirement to stockpile immediately. . .

Great video, unfortunately quality scarcity and excessive pricing keep the lower end of the population able to survive in the end. I live in Ca. since the 50's, we had everything imaginable grown here. Now it's all shipped to other countries for higher prices. Agriculture here has turned into wineries. Guess we can all stay drunk.

Note: Brown Rice has a pretty short shelf life. For Emergency food supplies.. store White Rice.

The problem with dry beans is you have to have water.

Try hurricane and tornado among other possibilities.

Whydo we have to do this ....war or famin or food is in shortage ? ..
