How to start a food box
Your food box is your short term plan for food. For any reason whether its no money this month or a natural disaster or surprise camping trip. The point is that you cant get to a store and you are low on food.
Important things to consider;
Likes - make sure you buy or acquire is food you like and not allergic to. For example, if you don’t like MRE’s don’t stalk up on it because you wont eat it and if you get to a situation where that is all you have you will be miserable. Try out your stuff first.
Time - be sure to have a time limit so that you can determine how much to get. Start small and add. My time limit is one week to two weeks. I will give my kit list.
Use - Try it out. Let’s be honest everything spoils so by using it you keep your stalk fresh and make sure that your taste haven’t changed. Try buying more long lasting foods. As well as knowing how to use and make the most of your supplies.
Storage - Store your supplies in the safe place. I use a simple cardboard shoe box and i keep it on top of my wardrobe. Unfortunately this has prove to be unsafe as my family has gotten into it. So that brings me to the next topic.
Safety - Make sure you keep it safe and that no one can take your supplies. It makes no sense you go through all that troubled only to have when you need it you find that someone has been taking your stuff and now you have none.
Calories - Watch the calories of your items and take into account that you need more calories if you are going to active. So look up how much calories you need and double it per day.
Withdrawal - If you know that you have and addiction you need to pack for it. You can not expect you body to cope with the stress and other factors that that type of situation AND deal with withdrawal symptoms. It could be as simple as put a few packs of cigarettes or packs of coffee. But don’t be fooled it is the same with prescription medicine and over the counter medecine. So pack your medic kit as well.
Remember you are after calories and nutrients.
Carbohydrates and sugar = energy
