Is there somewhere on the site that has something of a supplies list to build a kit? Water, first aid and food is all I know, are there other things I should think about? Are there foods that work best for stock piling up to a year?

- komali2 6y agoSomeone else linked the actual kit, but specifically this is what they recommend regarding food: Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, vegetables and a can opener Protein or fruit bars Dry cereal or granola Peanut butter Dried fruit Canned juices Non-perishable pasteurized milk High-energy foods Food for infants Comfort/stress foods There's high crossover between foods good for backpacking, and foods good for prepping. If you have hella money laying around, you could blitz out on some dehydrated meals, I think those are delicious. But they can come out to like, 9$ a serving or more. Packaged ramen is great for carbs and stores relatively compactly. Protein powder keeps well, but is only a supplement, not a meal. On a budget, or if you just don't want to splurge thousands on your food prep that should be recycled usually yearly, I'd say stash dried rice, dried beans, maybe some bagged tuna (I like it more than canned for storage reasons), and some dried fruit so ya don't get scurvy.
- hundreddaysoff 6y agoHere's a great discussion of that: https://johntreed.com/blogs/john-t-reed-s-hyperinflation-deflation-blog/63532035-you-should-have-about-three-years-worth-of-food-stored-how-much-does-that-cost-not-much https://johntreed.com/blogs/john-t-reed-s-hyperinflation-def... Great info that stands independent of the author's politics and book-shilling.
