Collecting each of the fundamental emergency storage items, especially the lower half of the Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Survival Readiness Pyramid, will help to put your mind at ease. Having these "tools" for an unpredicted tragedy is a requirement. Knowing how to use them is a separate issue. As far as food goes, the shorter-term food storage will run out in a hurry, and in a longer-term survival situation you'll be left with the stuff that takes more preparation and creativity to tempt the palate and whet the appetite. If you're from the fast food generation, or your routine is a catch-up game, you probably lack some of the homemaking skills your predecessors had. Baking homemade bread from scratch might just be unworkable.. But, bear in mind, wheat is the staff of life, and grains should compose the majority of your long-term food storage (about 400 lbs. per adult for one year). If you're not Asian, you may not be eating rice nearly every day either, and you possibly aren't aware of all of the several ways to prepare it. Beans come in a close third, but you also might not know beans about cooking these either. **End Summary** Topics: emergency food storage]]> food storage]]> food storage cookbook]]> emergency supplies]]> emergency preparedness]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Find yourself prepared in an emergency situation by knowing how to prepare your stored foods with an emergency food storage cookbook .
