[DISCUSSION POINTS]

CREEK! Welcome to the show brother.

Congratulations on the New Book - The Disaster Ready Home on AMAZON 4.9 Stars! #1 NEW Release in Survival & Emergency Preparedness - Link: https://amzn.to/3tXj3Rh

Creek you’ve been on the podcast several times but as we get into the today series - would you please refresh us with a bit of your back story - right up to why you wrote The Disaster Ready Home at this moment in time… 

MAIN TOPIC: Long Term Food Storage for Sheltering in Place: PART 1: A discussion of practical and affordable options to build a buffer of food for uncertain times.

PART 1 (Today) focuses on entry-level, easy to implement emergency food storage strategies for the average suburban home that require very little to no lifestyle change.

PART 2 (Next Time) focuses on more robust food storage and production SYSTEMS that require more time, effort, and energy to implement.

  1. Why emergency food storage?
    1. Food supply interruption
    2. Can’t get to grocery store
    3. Job loss
    4. RISING COST of FOOD - Storing and Preserving Food is LITERALLY Becoming an Investment that is Currently Appreciating in Value. 
    5. Timing is Still OKAY. Food is Reasonably Affordable. Start Now!
    6. Fragile Supply Chain - Rising Fuel Prices (Tractors, Transportation) 
    7. Panic Buying Theory - Shelve Can Empty Quick
    8. Buy As time and budget allows
  2. THREE BROAD CATEGORIES of Long Term Food Storage
    1. Rotation items from Grocery Store (1-3 year shelf life)
    2. Bulk Dry Goods
    3. Freeze Dried Foods
      1. Store bought
      2. Self made
  3. ROTATION – The most practical first approach
    1. Make a list of top 10-20 items your family eats most often that have a shelf life of 1-3 years
    2. Canned goods, dry goods, boxed meals, etc.  (NO FRESH PRODUCE OR MEAT)
    3. Buy a few extras of these items on each trip to the grocery
    4. Store them in a closet on a shelf for regular rotation with Kitchen pantry
    5. Store the items you eat and eat the items you store.
    6. Slowly build buffer of these items
  4. BULK DRY GOODS
    1. Dried beans, lentils, pastas, grains, rice
    2. Great option to gather a lot of food on a budget
    3. Where to get?
      1. Costco
      2. SAMS
      3. GFS (restaurant supply stores)
      4. Country Life Naturals
    4. Must be repackaged if desired to last more than 3 years
    5. REPACKAGING PROCESS – DETAILS in PART 2 (Next Time)
  5. FREEZE DRIED FOODS (David Discuss) 
    1. What is it? 
    2. Where to buy prepackages freeze dried meals?
