Survival Skills: What A Year’s Worth Of Food Looks Like
HTML https://offgridsurvival.com/wp-content/themes/church_10/images/2009/08/backpack.jpg
HTML https://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/survivalist/survival-skills-what-year%E2%80%99s-worth-food-looks/
When we think of a year’s emergency food supply, it’s easy to
think of a pallet of MREs or a mountain of Mountain House
packets. Those can certainly fill the need, but what if you
don't want to drop thousands upon thousands of dollars on your
food stores? What if you wanted to put together a year’s supply
of food in the cheapest manner possible?
Whether it’s a backup plan for economic troubles, a bug-in food
supply in case of pandemic, or just a practical preparation for
whatever lies ahead, this basic food supply has a lot in common
with our ancestors' annual stockpiles. Grain, oil, sugar, salt,
and a few other key ingredients can provide all the nutrition we
need—just like they did in the past—without breaking the bank
today. Plus, this food stash will last for several years,
providing you store it correctly.
Start off with 20 5-gallon food-grade buckets. If you have a
little coin to spare on the project, buy new 5-gallon buckets
with lids. Get a few buckets with gamma lids (screw-on) to store
products that will be used often. The other buckets can have
standard lids. If you’re on a budget, you might try to score
buckets from bakeries and restaurants—either for free or for a
nominal price.
Next, get enough Mylar storage bags and oxygen absorbers to go
with the buckets you have. You can do smaller Mylar bags for
rationing purposes and modular storage, or use large bags to
line each bucket (the easier way). You don’t need O2 absorbers
in everything. Sugar, honey, and salt will never need them,
since they don’t “go bad” from oxygen. Grains, powdered milk,
and other foods will definitely need them.
Now it’s time to start filling the buckets. The amount of food
needed can be calculated with some simple math. If a person
needed 2,200 calories a day, then multiply 2,200 by 365. This
gives us 803,000 calories required for one year. Using that, you
can build a list of staple foods that keep well and are
nutritious.
Consider this sample list for one person for one year:
400 pounds of grains: This can be white rice (brown doesn't last
very long), wheat berries (whole wheat kernels), barley, corn,
spelt, millet, quinoa, and even pasta. Four hundred pounds will
fill 12 5-gallon buckets, with each bucket storing about 47,000
calories. This translates to 75 cups of flour or 25 to 35 loaves
of bread or 150 servings of cooked grain per bucket.
60 pounds of dried beans: White beans (navy beans) have the
highest calorie count per pound (about 847 per lb.), but a
mixture of legumes is nice for variety. Sixty pounds of beans
will fit into two 5-gallon buckets, and provide about 20,000
calories per bucket.
16 pounds of shortening: This can be solid fats like Crisco,
ghee, and coconut oil, or 2 ½ gallons of cooking oil. Whichever
way you cut it, 16 pounds of fat yields about 50,000 calories
and represents the most calorie-rich component of this food
storage plan. This all fits into one bucket.
16 pounds of powdered milk: Use the non-fat variety for longer
storage life, but definitely include a few O2 absorbers in this
solitary bucket. This is also a good bucket for a gamma lid, and
you might consider breaking the powder up in smaller Mylar bags.
Sixteen pounds of it has 25,600 calories.
35 pounds of sugar: Plain old white table sugar, while devoid of
most nutrients, has a very long shelf life. Thirty-five pounds
of this stuff will fit in one bucket and provide about 60,000
sweet calories.
50 pounds of honey: This will fit in one bucket and provide
68,000 calories. This is also our most expensive bucket,
typically worth between $150 and $200. But honey never goes bad,
and serves many purposes.
40 pounds of potato flakes: Mashed potatoes, potato soup, potato
bread, little fried potato cakes like mom used to make—perhaps
there should be additional buckets of this versatile product!
But for starters, one bucket holds about 40 pounds of this food
staple, which is roughly 63,300 calories.
The final bucket is a grab bag of important stuff. You should
have 10 pounds of salt, which can be very handy. Some should be
iodized for iodine intake, and some should not be iodized (so
you can make fermented foods with it). Spices, dried herbs, and
seasonings should be included too, all carefully packed to trap
their unique aromas and save your palate from complete boredom.
Finally, if you toss a few bottles of multi-vitamins in there,
all the major nutrients should be covered.
All totaled, these 20 buckets provide an amazing 900,000
calories of food value and cost about $1,000, depending on the
bulk food prices you can wrangle. The finished buckets should be
stored in a cool, dry, dark place that is impervious to rodents
and other pests. Food-grade diatomaceous earth (DE) can be
sprinkled through the grains as a wholesome, edible bug killer
to deal with weevils and other pantry pests.
Finally, learn to use this food. Rotate it into your normal
cooking and eating habits. Get a hand-crank grain mill to grind
the grains. Try baking some bread on your wood stove this
winter. Make some mead from your honey. Whatever you do, just
use this stuff, and refill each bucket after you use it up. This
way, you’re accustomed to using these valuable food staples and
you’re better prepared, no matter what the future brings.

They work well with a tent that has no floor in it. One has to
be very careful.
