One. Don’t rely on the government helping – or on folk being friendly. A catastrophic situation such as New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina showed the governing body can’t handle it – folks have got to be ready to rely on themselves. Prepare and have plans in place for tornado, fire, emergency evacuation and sheltering in place ( being confined to home ). Remember a train derailment or other issues can change things in a hurry! Practice that evacuation. You have 10 minutes- what do you grab? Hesitating can be deadlyhaving a plan can mean survival.

Two Storage a problem? Use areas most don’t think of. The pantry is good for many things but if you’re putting up dozens of jars of spaghetti sauce, preserves, soups and other sauces you’re going to need room. Have a fortified corner of the basement up off the ground ( enough that a wet floor will not alteration the food ).

Three Next survival food storage secret is if you freeze food, be sure you’ve a means to keep it going in an emergency. If the electricity goes off you do not want to lose a year’s supply of food! Have a generator and fuel, get a propane fridge, have some method of keeping that food cold. Putting food aside is only part of insuring your food supply – storing it safely is the other issue.

Four. Be discreet. Don’t brag about your food supply and don’t spread the word you have half a year of food in your basement. If you do, and there is a crisis, you could be overrun with folks who know you have plenty stocked away. Are you then prepared to defend your food supply?

Five. Learn to’put up’ food – canning, food dehydrating and other strategies are increasingly easy with modern gadgets designed to preserve food. It needs a minimal effort – but on a kitchen counter you can dry enough herbs for a year ; you can make real powdered and flaked pepper, garlic and onion.

Six. Here is another tip for survival living. Along with your food supply have a method to prepare food including water, griddle and gas/wood/charcoal, and so on. If a typhoon knocks an area down for 2-3 weeks be ready to rely on your own resources for those 2-3 weeks. Have on hand not only stipulation items but some luxury items too. These might include a tiny candy, or cookies or something that just makes things a tiny more like home.

Seven Don’t forget storing individualized cleanliness items – you can make a ‘composting toilet’ from free plans onlinehaving this acquirable with sawdust or chips, toilet roll and other items can seriously increase the comfort in an emergency.

Eight. The first survival food storage secret is to learn to garden and use whatever space you have available. From a back yard area, raised beds, container gardens on a deck or tiny herb pots in the kitchen window, folks can grow more than they think with a tiny creativity and effort. Use edible landscaping for plants that are decorative as well as that wage food. Need a couple shade trees? Why not use fruit or nut trees – they’re going to supply shade as well as food.

Nine. Be healthy to cook from nothing, make bread and do other skills to get through if you had to. If you have the food stocked up it does not do any good if you are unable to use it. If you rely on mixes make your own mixes in Ziploc bags that seal firmly – adjudge with a marker right on the bag with how much liquid, egg and oil to add. In a pinch, that bag can be the bowl – simply place wet ingredients in and mix, then decant into a baking pan. Experiment with your griddle to make things before you have to.

Ten. Having the capability to hunt and fish can imply having a continuing food supply. Having fishing gear and hunting supplies can imply the difference between intake or not. In the depression some spoke of having a small dog that would go through culverts and flush out rabbits while the massive dog at the other end dispatched the rabbit as it ran out. Sporting? Maybe notbut if it comes to intake or not, how ethical will you be after not intake for four days?

Get prepared now. Work on getting things growing survival seeds, on learning the skills you’ve got to in order to survive. When the general public food supply is disturbed it will be too late.
