How Much Disaster Food Supplies Are Really Needed For Most Situations?
Author : Lance Esondi
There can be disruptions to normal day to day life. Most of these disruptions are temporary like a severe snow storm where travel and electricity are cut off for a week. There are threats of more long term situations like attacks, pandemics, or economic collapse, but these are extremely rare. What's a good amount of disaster food supplies to have realistically?
For most families a 30 day supply is a good goal. This means literally having everything you would need for a full 30 days of eating. This is a very manageable number to shoot for an pretty easy for most people to get within a few weeks. Gradually build up your 30 day supply with foods that you already like and are used to eating.
The reason 30 days is a good goal is because there have not been situations in modern society where a country has been completely disrupted for longer than a few weeks. This covers most situations easily.
But won't 30 days of food be too little in a long term survival situation?
Of course this food won't last you forever. Even if you had 60, 90, or a half year's worth of food in a long term situation it would all run out unless you had another means of production. For longer term food, you need to produce it through gardening, foraging, or hunting. It would be such a difficult life that having 60 versus 30 days of a food wouldn't make a difference consider the hundreds of things one must prepare for to survive long term.
Start today and get at least one week's worth of supplies and gradually build up what you have. Then in these normal disruptions you at least know you and your family will be fed.
