Food Part 3 – Evolution of a Prepper List (Page 4)

This is yet another attempt at creating a viable Prepper Food list.

Just to reiterate, I am trying to create a Prepper Food List for a contingency that includes food for thirty days, for two adults, in place.

I’ve revised my thinking since my last post, and I decided that it would be better to create a day-to-day menu of meals, and then “back into” the food required, and the quantities. The day-to-day menu is shown, below.

My next step is to use this menu to summarize the foods needed, and further refine the quantities required.

There are some obvious holes in my choices, and my logic, but I think that is a matter of educating myself. I am not much of a cook, so I really don’t know what it takes to make certain meals. For example, I don’t know the difference between a biscuit, and a muffin, and I’ve decided that both are important components of any prepper food list.

Most of my food choices are off-the-shelf items, that do not need a whole lot of preparation, and which I currently consume. I decided it was best to keep it simple, because I was driving myself nuts trying to have the “perfect” list. All my food items are easy to come by, and all have a variety of flavors, and have a long shelf life, and I already know how they taste, and how much will make a meal. (Even Mac & Cheese comes in a variety of flavors.)

My intention is to buy smaller quantities, and organize the food by meal/menu items. For example, instead of buying 5 pounds of beans, I’ll buy one-pound bags. I will store the food in several five gallon plastic containers (of which I have many). It occurred to me that, if I needed to evacuate my in-place location, it would be wise to have the food stored in containers that are easy to carry and pack into a vehicle.

My next post will summarize the menu below, and then I’ll have a firm list of foods to gathers.

Cheers !

Food Part 2 – Evolution of a Prepper List – (Page 3)

This is another chapter in my ongoing endeavor to create my first Prepper List.

Of the many items that belong on a good Prepper List, food is probably at the top of every list, along with water. In creating my first Prepper List, I decided that it would be smart to start with a food list. It seems simple enough, and thought I could knock it out, and move on to other important Prepper items.

What I have found out is that it really is not so simple a task. It’s one thing to make a list of foods that you like, and it’s quite another to find non-perishable versions, and to determine the correct quantities to store.

In my backpacking days, food quantities were very important because you didn’t want to carry any unnecessary weight. I would plan my meals, and I always allowed one extra meal in case of an emergency. (In fact, I always brought the same extra meal, which was a meal I didn’t like, so I wouldn’t be tempted to eat meal, and destroy my reserve. I finally trashed it after several years, and carrying it on many backpacking trips.)

Thank goodness for the Internet, and a huge Prepper community that likes to share their expertise. Two ideas that seemed to emerge often, were:

1) Variety in your food choices is very important. If you’re planning a 30 day supply of food, then you really don’t want to buy a 20 pound bag of beans, and eat that for a month. Obviously, you could survive, but there are too many food choices available to have to endure 30 days of beans.

And this makes good sense. Do not depend on spices and sauces for variety;(though they are important ingredients to have.)

Variety is also a way to help avoid health issues, such as malnutrition.

2) Make sure that you like all the food on your list; do not experiment with new flavors, and meals, etc.
If you are in doubt, try the food before you add it to your Prepper List.

3) Think nutrition. Try to get the most bang for your buck.

In my first list, I’m planning for two adults, in-place, for thirty days, without the benefit of any services, such as electricity, gas, etc.

The following is a basic list of food that I think could provide a certain amount of variety, and which are easily attainable, and have long a shelf-life.

This list, by itself is really not usable, since it does not have a the required quantities/servings. I struggled with the quantities for some time, and never was quite satisfied. I decided that I was going about it the wrong way. Instead of trying to list quantities, I needed to create a list based on each meal, and then calculate the total amounts needed for a month.

And this makes sense. In a former life, when I used to plan backpacking trips, I always planned it on a meal, by meal basis, so it makes sense to do it that way for a 30 day survival situation.

My next task is to determine serving sizes, and then segregate the food by meals. Then I should be able to calculate the total quantities required.
