Day 39: What food do you need in a nationwide lockdown…

Food storage isn’t about hoarding buckets of wheat you’ll never touch.

Start With What You Already Eat

  • Don’t reinvent your diet.
    Buy more of the same things you already eat.

  • Easy method:
    If you buy 10 cans of beans normally, buy 12.
    Toss 2 into your food storage.

  • Same goes for rice, pasta, tuna, soup—whatever you already rotate through.

Don’t Forget the Basics

Too many people store:

  • 20 buckets of wheat

  • But no wheat grinder, oil, salt, or yeast

  • And no way to cook without electricity

That’s a recipe for useless food.

Think Beyond the Microwave

  • Practice going off-grid:
    Flip your main breaker. Try cooking from your storage without power.

  • If your food needs a microwave?
    You’ll need gas, a generator, and a way to keep that running

  • If your food is “Cowboy capable” like mine:
    All you need is a backyard fire and a Dutch oven

    • Wood = fuel

    • Simple, reliable, time-tested

Add Some Insurance: Survival Milkshake

  • Packed with electrolytes

  • Designed by Lone Survivalist

  • Easy to store, easy to use, and keeps you fueled when other options fail

Bottom Line: Cradle to Grave Thinking

Your food storage plan should work start to finish:

  1. Buy it

  2. Store it

  3. Cook it

  4. Eat it—even if the lights are out

Plan it all the way through, and you won’t be caught off guard.
