Food & Long-Term Storage
Three days of food nobody has to cook comes first. MRE entrees, canned meat, crackers, and whatever your family already eats. After that comes the deep pantry: freeze-dried and canned staples with shelf lives measured in years, and the Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers to store your own rice and beans. Shelf life depends on temperature, so store food inside the house, not the garage. Most of this ships direct from the supplier, and heavy cases carry real freight cost. Each page says so.
