Food supplies
- Grow and maintain a fresh food supply for as long as possible
- Honey, syrups, brown sugar, marmelade sugar
- Rice, beans, wheats
- Flour and yeast
- Canned fruits, veggies, soups, and stews
- Powdered and condensed milk. For condensed milk mind the expiry date. get as far-out as possible, and shake the cans every three months.
- Non-hybrid garden seeds. Lettuce and alfalfa produce edible items in a very short time.
- Vegetable oil – without it, food burns or must be boiled. One of those bain-marie pots may be a good idea too.
- What can break monotony and keep spirits more easily alive? Get salt, garlic, spices, vinegar, soy sauce, bouillons, teas, coffee and baking supplies. When garlic is put in oil it can stay for long periods.
- Dry herbs.
- Medicinal herbs.
- Nuts.
- Make sure that oils you use won’t go rancid. Cold-pressed lasts longest.
- Dry corn. Can be soaked or popped for eating.
Cooking tools
- Cookstoves on propane, Coleman fuel and kerosene will all do the trick. If you are using a propane based cooking stove, get a handle holder as well. Small canister use is dangerous without it.
- Hand can openers
- Hand egg beaters and whisks
- Non-electric grain grinder
- Cast iron cookware
Food gathering and keeping
- Know what, when and where.
- Those insulated ice boxes, don’t throw them away thinking they will not serve without your fridge producing the cold elements. They are great in winter, to keep your food from freezing.
- Some containers with a mix of your supplies, hidden where only you can find them.
- Create cool storage areas in the ground.
- For spices keep seeds rather than powdered kind. In some cases however, powdered will hold longer. Get a morter and pestle or a grinder.
- Metal or plastic tubs keep vermin out and keep items relatively fresh.
