SHTF most important thing, Food and water...

[Drgong]

As readers of this forum, most of us have self defense firearms, heck, some of us could most likely supply enough arms and ammo for the block

However what about the thing that might cause problems, namely, food and water when you cannot get it at the store. This goes for more urban and rural folks. Also since I studied mormons a bit, I respect that they prepare for TOUGH times, and it is suprisingly easy if you take it slow that you can build up a rather large supply of food over time. $10 a week and soon you will have plenty of SHTF food.

So...what are YOUR rations for food that you have, and what do you have planned.

Now what I have so far (started July 4th)

10 pounds white rice
5 pounds of assorted dried beans
36 packets of Ramen

Now what I need to add.

I need to add Hardtack (Pilot Crackers) as a extra easy to prepare food source. Also canned fatty foods are important, as if your moving fatty foods are great for high energy food. So Spam and other canned meat (liver for example) are good for this.

But here the thing, what is the best way to make sure you have WATER?

Any thread with those four letters in the title is de facto not suitable for S&T- best take this one to APS if you want to talk about it.

Discussing individual knowledge, skills or abilities which might be useful in a situation requiring evacuation, or sheltering in place at home during an emergency, might indeed be applicable here. Compiling shopping lists, however, has little to do with individual KSAs.
