Put this book down for a moment. Go take a peek in your cupboards or your

facing the biggest economic disaster our country has ever seen. Anything seems

possibleatthispoint.

With that being said, the ball is in your court. It’s up to you to take the

responsibilitytokeepyourfamilyfedifsuchasituationdoesarise.

Strategic Planning

Don’tlosehope!Thepurposeofthishandbookistohelpyouplanforsuchan

occasion. You can take the advice in these pages, act upon them, and keep your

familysafe–andfed!Andyoumightevenhaveenoughtosharewithothersinyourneighborhood.Anddon’tworry–itdoesn’thavetoemptyyourbankaccount!You’ll

be surprised at how far you can stretch your dollars (even in a time of economic

disaster)!

The time to start planning is NOW! The secret to successful preparation is

stocking your pantry while the stores are plentifully supplied. It’s important to

purchasetheitemsyou’llneedbeforepanicsetsin.Otherwiseit’stoolate.You’llbe

inthesameboataseveryoneelse–rushingtogetwhateveryoucan.



Itwouldalsobewisetohaveanawarenessofhoworwheretogetadditionalfood

– just in case the problems aren’t fixed after a few days. You can imagine the

widespreadpanicthatwouldoccurifgrocerystoresthroughoutAmericawereunable

toprovideeventhemostbasicoffoodstohundredsofthousandsofpeople.

Another disadvantage when disaster is on the horizon, and after it strikes, is a

significant increase in price. Even in the absence of a crisis, with huge financial

Always Messing Things Up

Youhavetoadmit,whether it’srespondingtohurricane damage ortrying tofix

our economy, the government is always messing things up. Yet, regardless of

we’reactinginyourbestinterest(astheycontinuetopourbucketsofwateroverour

Seriously though, we need only take a look at Hurricane Katrina. It was an

embarrassingreminderofwhat’swrongwiththe“governmentassavior”mentality.

government can confiscate any “excess and surplus real and personal property.”

Don’tadvertisetothoseinyourneighborhoodwhatyou’redoingorabouttodo.It’s better to later share than have someone steal or alert authorities to your

What’s the Shelf Life?

When people are thinking, forthe first time,of stockpiling,they usually wonder

aboutshelflife–howlongfooditemswilllastintheirpantry.Noteverythinglasts

Your Own Garden

The best, and most practical, way to “live off of the land” is to have your own

garden. If you’re already an avid gardener, this is no big deal. But for those who

Survival Through the Ages

Isn’t it amazing how unprocessed foods, such as grain, can last for such a longtime?RememberthefaminethousandsofyearsagoinEgypt?HowdidJosephsave

Egypt‐Bystorehousingenormousamountsofgrain!Didyouknowthatafteryears

butthefactis,theyarestillthere.



Theidealsituationwouldallowforacombinationofgrainandmeat.But,ifyou

contentthatyourbodyneeds.Becauseofthis,itwouldbewisetomakesureyou

More to Eat Than WheatDon’tthinkyou’relimitedtowheatinanemergencysituation.Thereareseveral

ones:

Don’tforgetthatthesearealso“yummy”forpests.Taketheextraefforttokeep

these foods from being ruined by insects or mice (or even larger vermin). Plastic

containers are difficult for furry friends topenetrate; however,the key to keepinginsectsoutistokeepoxygenoutofthecontainers.



Store It

It’snotashardtobuildupagrain/legumesupplyasyoumightthink.Theonly

concernabouthavinglargecontainersandplentyofsuppliesonhandwouldbe,and

we hope this will never happen, government confiscation during an emergency

situation.Remember,creditcardpurchasescanbesearchedbyauthorities.Ifyou

Ifyoureallywanttostayundertheradar,youmightwanttogetananimalortwo

aslivestock.Thatwayyourgrainpurchasescouldbeusedprimarilyforfeedingyour

animalswhilesimultaneouslyaddingtoyourstockpile.

Purchasing grains locally can be cheaper but that means the packing would

probably be up to you. You would need containers that are designed for food

storageaswellasmoistureproof.Theallaroundbestcontainerwouldbea6gallon

bucket.Youcanbuythesebucketsatyourlocalhardwareorpaintstore.

Where do you plan on storing your grains? An ideal temperature would be

somewherebetween45and65degreesFahrenheit.Also,keepyourcontainersoff

oftheconcretefloororground(ifyou’restoringtheminyourgarageorshed).Laysome boards down to stack the containers upon. Another tip when storing large

quantitiesofgrainistomarkthecontainerwiththedatewhenyoufillit.Rotateyour

containers, using the oldest grains first. And don’t stack the containers to closely

together–youdon’twantthemto“sweat”.

Pests were mentioned earlier as a threat to your supply. The easiest way to

combatthisproblem:

Dryice–frozencarbondioxidegas.Thisisdeadlytopestsbecauseitprevents

theanimalfromgettingoxygen–averyeffectivemethod.Becautiouswhen

handlingdryice–it’llfreezeyourskinuponcontact.(Ifyou’reunsureabout

where to buy dry ice, you can search online or in the phone book. Check

weldingsupplystoresoricecreamparlors.)

Dryicecomesbytheblockorinpellets.Youmightfindthatpelletsareeasier

(NOTE: Do not let children or pets near dry ice and never use in a closed

You don’t want moisture getting into any of your containers of food. So you’ll

need to be aware of the conditions and provide the driest environment possible.

If you do have a supply of grain that needs moisture to be drawn out, you can

consider using silica gel packs. You can try to buy these at local supply stores or

hardware stores. If you are unable to find them, check out Desiccare, Inc.
