STAPLE FOOD ARTICLE



When an occurrence does happen what will be needed to keep up your energy.   We must think about using grains, dried fruits, dehydrated vegetables, and condiments.  What are we going to pack away for how long and how do we store the food?
When we plan meals we must think about how make a good meal out a bucket or a can.  Thinking about using whole grains out of a bucket would drive some food preparers to drink.  Remember that you must know how to change your whole grain into the right consistency flour for the dish which your are trying to make.  The use of water and spices are also important when cooking your dried fruits and vegetables.
How much staple food should be stored for each individual?  Remember that there will be no store to visit to pick up that extra can of this or that.  Most people will be foraging as they have not planned for the occurrence that has happened.  They will be looking to help themselves to the food that you have stored and cared for. 
Has the thought that you could be picking up staples in your local grocery store planning for that day to come.  The price would be very cheap compared to when food is hard to find or all the shelves are empty. 
How much food do you think you could carry and how long do you think it will last.  Think about planning ahead to have a place that you would be able to go to that would be stocked with food staples.  Where are you going to go??
