In reply to Jack Denham. They'll be the one's that bought all the toilet rolls after they crapped themselves.

In reply to Ken.

You don’t need gas or electric to cook rice, a basic understanding of how to make a fire will suffice to boil/fry even oven cook your food.

Rice is a staple carb source, as is pasta, rice preserves better IMO, and is easier to store.

Also – spending £15 on 5kg of rice is about 3x more than you should be spending. Part of prepping is about making the most of your resources – and getting everything from Amazon certainly won’t make the most of your money. The Author links to Amazon because it’s easy – not because it’s the best, also it’s easy to monetize you clicking through to buy expensive rice.

I pride myself on always having enough food for my family to survive a few months. It doesn’t take much work to do, just a bit of research initially.

Helpful article, thanks.

For food stockpiling, nutrient density , shelf life, and no cooking are essential. If shtf and no electricity or gas then what? First think macros: protein, fat and carbohydrate. Your body must have protein and fat, your liver will make glucose ,the ultimate digestion goal of all carbs . So the first on my list is corned beef, after that high fat and carb biscuits like chocolate hobnobs.

So are people still laughing at preppers or have they just discovered the reason that some of us prepare for?

Great list but really surprised there was no mention of dried pasta or noodles , great shelf life , mixed types and easy and light to store . just a thought . or are they in the bug out gear ? all the best .

Where is the best place to buy food from?

Steve,

Any chance you could further expand on how you actually store the goods? The rice one is nice an easy as its packaged in a plastic jar which is quite hardy.

How do you store the beans etc? I assume they are not just on the shelf in their plastic bag? Do you keep the bags inside a plastic storage box etc?

I’m probably overthinking but assume you can’t just leave these goods on a shelf for several years??

I’d like to build a store of good that I may not rotate but have for an emergency.

Thanks in advance

There’s lot of food out there that can be kept for quite a while, most off the shelf foodstuffs apparently (even though they have a use by date) can go on longer than their shelf life suggests even by a week or 2, rice is always a good one, and dried produce as well and sometimes I buy MRE’s from the local market (which have usually a couple of years life left to them), and I recently tried my hand at making some Pemmican, and to be honest its not all that difficult. Messy but not difficult. There’s loads of recipes, and variations on peoples own attempts, my first go ended up with a blister on my finger from cutting the meat and fat. One piece of advice though is something I didn’t really do, don’t get lazy and start cutting the meat and fat slightly thicker in order to save time, make sure you do cut it thin. and always check the rendering fat.
The results weren’t too bad either, kind of tastes like ‘Burnt End’ beef that you used to get on a Sunday dinner, although mine had blueberries in it, it wasn’t all that fatty tasting either.

I don’t know where you buy your rice from but I go to an Asian store not too far away and can buy Broken jasmine rice for around £6 for a 5kg bag, it’s a plastic sealed bag so it’s airtight, they have a lot of imported foods and very cheap too.
