year supply of food

One Year Food Supply
One year of food for a family of four or five

Ever wonder the supply list for a year's worth of food?
Putting together a year supply of food is a daunting task. What
does a one year supply of food look like?

You can get a good idea from the manufacturers of dehydrated
and freeze dried foods about how many buckets of food can last a
month, but in addition to these freeze dried and dehydrated
buckets of food, you'll want to add canned foods with liquid
content. Add buckets of staples, such as rice and beans, grains,
cereals and dehydrated fruits and vegetables. Most importantly,
remember the canned meat and freeze dried meat in your
prepper's pantry.

One Year of Food Supply
Likely you don't have enough food stocked up. Many preppers
have the ultimate goal of getting a one-year food supply. If you
are a family of four, then a one year food supply really only
becomes a three month food supply ~ or you need to buy four
one-year food supplies.

Provision List for the Pantry
To build the proper prepper's pantry you'll need the following
provisions per person in your group:
  • 400 lbs. of grain (corn, oats, rice, wheat)
  • 20 lbs of meat protein
  • 20 lbs. of fats and oils
  • 75 lbs of milk
  • 90 lbs of fruits and vegetables
  • 90 lbs. of beans and legumes
  • 60 lbs. of sugar


Why is a one-year food supply so important?
The primary answer is an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) or other
long term emergency. Though it's not a bad idea to have food
handy to help you get through a personal emergency, such as a
death of a primary breadwinner or even a
job loss.

If there's an Electromagnetic pulse you can expect...

  • Homes will be powerless and the people powerless too!
    People will be scavenging for life-saving supplies of food,
    water and medical supplies. They will feel powerless and
    hopeless because very few people will have the resources.

  • Curfews and Martial Law: Basic needs will be in short
    supply and there will be dusk to dawn curfews and
    potentially also Martial Law if the crisis is localized. In a
    long term crisis, such as an EMP, which will be a national
    problem it will be every man for himself because the
    government won't be able to bring in the resources to make
    Martial Law happen. In 1945, there were more than 12
    million active duty military personnel, but that was in
    response to Hitler. Today we have more than 325 million
    people in the United States. United States Armed Forces has
    just 1,369,532 active members, and  850,880 reserve
    members, which isn't nearly enough to control the
    population. Particularly if they are unable to move their
    resources because cars and trucks won't work in an EMP.
    People become refugees as they flee powerless homes. The
    workforce becomes differently employed at scavenging for
    the basics, including water, food, and shelter.

  • Communications: No TV, radio, or phone service.

  • Transportation: Gas pumps will be inoperable. Failure of
    signal lights and street lights would impede traffic and all
    traffic would cease after dark, but not many would even have
    a functioning vehicle anyway. No mass transit metro service
    and all airlines will be stopped.

  • Water.  In an EMP there will be no running water. Stoves
    and refrigerators will be inoperable. People will have to melt
    snow, boil water, and cook over open fires. Local food
    supplies will be exhausted. Most stores will close due to the
    blackout.

  • Energy: Oil and natural gas flows will stop.

  • Emergency Medical: Hospitals will have to operate in the
    dark. Patients on dialysis and other life support will be
    threatened. Medications administered and babies will be
    born by flashlight.

  • Death and Injury: Casualties from exposure, carbon dioxide
    poisoning, and house fires increase.

Stock up on a year's worth of food for one person for about
$1,500.
