Today we are going to discuss storing food for both acute and long term survival needs. I find with people new to preparedness it is one of the things they are interested in but often fail to take action on. There is one fundamental though, food is necessary for life, without it you are in real trouble.
Join me today as we discuss…
- The lack of vision many “disaster documentaries” have about food shortages
- What the real threat of pandemic teaches us about the need to store food
- Why you should start with the rule, store what you eat
- Utilizing the “opportunity buy”
- The role long term commercial storables play in your storage plan
- The value of cheap storables like wheat, barley, rice and their limitation
- The importance of protection from rodents
- The myth that a “garden makes you a target” any more then existing makes you a target
- Why you must become a producer
- The three levels of production and how they work together
- The holistic nature of a true long term food program
