Who knows what the future holds? If only we knew, day to day, what challenges would arise, we would never be caught unawares. Unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way. Those who prefer to look forward and prepare for the “just in case” scenarios are often painted as fringe lunatics and doomsday preppers. However, assembling the best emergency food kit for yourself or your family should be something every responsible adult takes seriously. A few “normal” situations that could arise when having rations for your family would make sense, including job loss, temporary layoff, extensive storm damage, or a power outage that traps your family at home.
For instance, if the opportunity arises, you’d like to help another needy family. Then there are Armageddon-type scenarios that plague the minds of some, and there is no better way to put those fears to rest than to look ahead and prepare for the worst. Whatever your reasons for looking forward and setting up in case of a difficult time ahead, we are here to help you build the best emergency kits for your family.
First, lay out your preparation strategy. If you’re starting, you may not have more than a day or two worth of food in your cupboard. The important thing is to start somewhere and build your supplies up until you’ve assembled the best you can.
Please get the essential information on preparing for disasters beforehand.
Do you have children in the house? Teens? Older or elderly adults? Infants will require special feeding accommodations like milk or formula, while the elderly may have unique nutritional needs. For instance, map out who you’re building a supply for on paper and any particular things you need to prepare for yourself.
Our buckets simplify everything for you. Just order them and put them away in a cool, dry place out of sight.
Please ensure you have all the gear and supplies you need. We have several articles on preparation for emergencies and all the things to consider stockpiling before an emergency.
A list of things to consider beforehand
Everything to stockpile you might need.
Here is how
There’s no need to live on only rice and beans for a month. In addition, you don’t want to stock up on three months’ worth of food that your family won’t touch with a six-foot pole just because it was cheap. Moreover, It may keep you alive in a pinch, but you want to enjoy it. So, take the likes and dislikes into consideration as you plan. Remember to consider allergies, as well.
There are dozens of ways to build up a great kit. Of course, it is not the least expensive; investing in commercially prepared rations that various companies offer is the easiest.
In addition, another method requiring a little planning and management is taking what you buy and use every week and building up a supply that will last. If you ordinarily use three cans of beans, two boxes of mac ‘n’ cheese, and a jar of peanut butter each week, begin buying double that and set the extra aside for your supplies. Then, manage your stock by rotating your supplies to stay fresh. Freshness would be a significant advantage in a long term disaster, where you rely on your emergency rations for months or even years.
A good rule of thumb is six months to a year of food you eat daily. (MINIMUM) Not only is this easily managed through good shopping and rotation, but For preparation beyond that time frame, vacuum-sealed Mylar bags will keep dry goods for years. We offer dry goods preserved in #10 cans that will last 25 years and buckets that last 15 to 25 years.
Once you’ve built up a few months’ supplies, organize your cans and boxes with the soonest expiration date in the front and the furthest out in the back. Then, when you do your grocery shopping, put the new stuff in the back and use it from the front. This keeps your stock fresh and ready to use if and when needed.
Similarly, home canning is another less expensive way to build up supplies. Canning is becoming a lost art, so you’re not alone if you must learn how to do it. Canning in glass jars requires a little learning and effort but can allow you to preserve for years. Adequately canned goods keep best in cool, dark places between 50 and 70 *F (10 – 21 *C) and are safe to eat for years after canning. Again, this is time-consuming, and paying attention to doing it right is necessary.
For dry bulk goods, wheat, beans, rice, sugar, and other dry goods can be vacuum sealed and stored in five-gallon buckets with O2 absorbers to last for years. Some wheat and corn will go a long way toward peace of mind for the genuinely prepared-minded. Coupled with some long term food storage systems for variety and prepared meals, this could be a good strategy if there is no gas or electricity.
Comparatively, A vacuum sealer is a good investment for anyone serious about their emergency food. Sealing in smaller quantities preserves them longer and allows you to use them a little at a time, rather than using a large container quickly once you’ve opened it.
Please remember this story if you’re worried about the expiration date on store-bought canned goods. A steamboat named Bertrand was trying to reach Montana in 1865 when it sank to the bottom of the Missouri River. One hundred years later, canned goods from that wreck were recovered.
Signs canned goods have gone bad: the can is bulging, or the lid has come unsealed. Also, please check for mold or fermentation bubbles in the liquid. If the food rushes out of the can or jar when you open it, don’t use it. This is a good indication of the bacterial activity, causing a chemical reaction.
Some things to include:
Water will be critical to surviving certain types of disaster scenarios. One liter of water per person daily is a good starting point when planning for emergencies. You’ll need some extra for sanitation and cooking, as well. Do you have plenty of water or a way to obtain and sanitize water? Sanitation tablets and filtration systems would be a significant component of the being prepared.
If the power was out for three weeks, how would you cook that mac ‘n’ cheese you took such care to store? Even if you have a power generator for emergencies, stoves and microwaves pull too much energy to use the generator for cooking. A propane or butane camp stove with plenty of fuel cells or a propane or charcoal grill are great options to have on hand.
Storage space can be tricky, depending on your housing situation. You’ll want to designate a perfectly organized room specifically for food storage, if you don’t mind. You’ll label your shelves and keep things nicely stocked and rotated. If you don’t live in this fairy tale situation, you may have to get more creative about storing your supplies. Many foods can be neatly stored in cardboard boxes, under beds, in the bottoms or tops of closets, and under the stairs. You may need to reduce unnecessary clutter to make room for the rations. The reward will be worth the effort.
Please take the steps needed to create the best kit that you can pay off in peace of mind. Knowing that you can care for those you love and reach out to those around you in their time of need will put you in a category reserved for just a few; you’ll rest easy at night, knowing your family is providing for whatever tomorrow holds.
In case of an emergency, it is crucial to have a fully stocked first aid kit containing all the essentials. Whether a scrape or a more severe injury, being prepared with bandages, antiseptic, and other medical supplies can make all the difference. Remember to include personal medications and items like tweezers and scissors for convenience. Your first aid kit may be a compact container, but its contents could save a life.
As the world becomes increasingly chaotic, it may be wise to identify which of your neighbors have experience in the medical field. Talk with them about potential emergencies and inquire if they would be open to assistance if someone gets sick or injured. This proactive approach will help you understand who can do what when you need to.
This is for a full-out emergency when no one is coming to help you. The world is now an unpredictable and dangerous place, unlike it was years before. Taking precautionary measures like this can potentially save your life.
Two-way radios can be easily utilized. While these devices may have some limitations, such as a restricted range, they are often the most dependable means of communication during major disasters, especially during widespread power outages.
We have some. You can also monitor police, fire and EMT channels if your town lacks encryption. You CANNOT communicate with them or use them on all channels unless it is an all-out emergency. Keep them in your Faraday bag while storing them.
In the event of a prolonged disaster, where communication channels are disrupted, it is advisable to have a backup plan. While home phones may still function during power outages, they are vulnerable to damage and downed lines. Consider investing in a battery-powered or hand-crank weather radio that can provide updates and emergency alerts.
What contacts should be included?
Phone numbers for family members and neighbors
Contact information for work, school, childcare, doctors.
Addresses of designated meeting places
Police, Fire and Emergency numbers
You could consider getting satellite phones. They will never go off when the cell towers go down, or the electricity goes off.
In the event of a catastrophe, loved ones may be unable to communicate. It is crucial to have an In Case of Emergency (ICE) contact programmed into each person’s phone. First responders are trained to search for this number.
Note: The ICE number must be easily accessible even when the phone is locked. To ensure this, you must get an app for the phone.
