January 1, 2012 This list is not meant to be comprehensive, but it will get you off to a good start in preparing for a break in the food distribution chain. In a country as large and populated as the United States this could be a nightmare; -much like it was behind the Iron Curtain in the 1990's. If you have no idea of the possibility of this occuring or what might transpire, we suggest that you start with History Chanel's After Armageddon located on the sidebar under Luminaria/Hope For The Best/ History Channel.

We suggest that before you spend too much time on preparing your pantry that you start with getting your financial house in order because by time that this list is needed it will be to late to protect your nestegg. At least for now here's some food for thought.

We concentrate on Multi-Purpose Bulk items that can be stored in large quatities in relatively little space. Say enough to feed a family of 6 for 10 years. These will offer comfort and balance to your daily take of Deer, Moose, or Rainbow Trout and your gardening efforts. Some items are not food, so much as what will be considered helpful necessities that can also be bartered for fresh meat, poultry, vegetables etc. should the SHTF. Don't scoff, there is a danger that the dollar could become worthless as more and more derivative bandaids attack our money supply. Our money supply grew 40% between 2008 - 2011 alone!

Check off these items as you aquire them, and then investigate food preparation and storage. You may be very pleased someday. Items on this list can be stored indefinitely if prepared and sealed properly. If you are hungry, you'll ignore the 3 year maximum Best Before dates on your Protein Bars and Shakes.
