Prepper Food Supplies For Emergency Use

By Juana Buchanan


It is always important to be prepared for almost anything in this world of disasters and unexpected events. It is suggested that individuals always have a three-month or even a year's worth of food items on hand at all times. Prepper food supplies are those items that are stocked for a household in the case of such an emergency. It could be a natural, man-made or even a financial disaster where you are not able to purchase the items you need to survive for extended periods of time.

You can stock these products yourself if you want to take the time and effort. It does not have to be expensive but it does take some diligence. Every time you visit your local grocer's, make a point of picking up extra basics that have long shelf lives and store them in a safe place.

The best items to build up in your pantry are dry goods that will hold up well over time. These include sugar, cornmeal, nuts, flour, baking powder and soda, coffee, tea, drink powders, salt, nuts, beans and spices. Other items such as packaged mixes, cookies and cereal will not hold up as long but can be used up first.

Canned goods should include meats, fish, stews, soups, fruits, vegetables, jams, jellies and juices. Peanut butter is also a staple that is high in protein and holds up well over time. Choose the types of products you know your family will enjoy and that they are accustomed to so meals are as normal as possible during a difficult time.

The main necessity for survival is always water. Bottled products are always good but larger jugs are easier to handle, clean and store. These receptacles are also better for cooking or cleaning. Carbonated, tonic, flavored or seltzer waters will give your family beverage variety also.

You can purchased already selected and packaged products from various companies that cater to preppers. It can be much more expensive but the items can have extremely long shelf lives - sometimes up to 25 years. The products are usually freeze dried and already stored in containers that are easily stacked and stored. The contents include drink mixes, shake mixes, entrees, desserts, side items, and snacks and consumers can select from the very basic to the most extravagant. They usually also come complete with cooking fuel, water filtration equipment, and basics such as lighters, matches and flatware.

Whatever items you decide to purchase for your household, it is very important to have a written inventory of what you have in stock. Dating and rotating the products is also necessary, especially if you are stocking items you normally consume from day to day. Keep all products from moisture, heat, pests and light sources and store in food-friendly buckets or other sealed containers or bags.

A household should always be prepared for the unexpected. Whether you desire to stock up on your own favorite products or buy your bulk items from a company that specializes in prepper products, it gives great peace of mind that you are ready to meet any situation and your family will have enough to eat.
