Before you start your own emergency food storage you have to ask yourself WHY you want to have it. What are your reasons for having an emergency food storage?
Why have emergency food storage?
Your emergency food storage
Getting your emergency food storage ready is not going to be a 2 day thing; it’s going to take at least a couple weeks but more likely it will take months. To get through those weeks and those months ask yourself why you want an emergency food storage. What are your reasons to get it?
Make your list of reasons as long as you can. The more reasons you have the better. This way you can fall back to reading your list of reasons when the going gets tough. You’ll remember all the reasons and they will help you get back your motivation and get back on track.
The main reason to have an emergency food storage
The main reason for most people is simple: survive. Others extend the reason a bit: to survive comfortably. Surely you can store 6 large buckets of wheat and rice for an emergency but that’s not going to be “comfortable survival”. So if your goal is to “survive comfortably and to have enough food to feed your family for up to 6 weeks” you should vary your food storage somewhat.
