What Should Be In Your Food Storage Stockpile? The classic Dragon Ball Z animation showcases a pill that instantly transforms into a complete meal. Unfortunately, we don't have that kind of technology right now which means that we have to learn how to properly stockpile food in order to keep our bodies and health intact during emergencies and long-term crises.Non-preparation foods are usually food bars which are high in calories and does not provoke thirst that much, MREs (meals ready to eat) and light-weight food often referred to as camping meals. Camping meals can be stocked for long periods of time, most of these meals can last for 2 years in the shelf.If you plan to prepare your own food, then canning and preserving is an option. If you have a garden, canning and stockpiling your vegetable gardens produce is more cost-efficient.

A great idea is to look at getting survival food bars. Many of these food bars tend to have more than 3000 calories in them which will last you at least one full day. Many backpacking supply places will have these or you could even buy then online on the Internet. They don't have the best taste but they will provide enough nutrition and calories to get you through the day.

Peanut butter is a great food to store. Not only can you use it on a regular basis for other things, but it's very high in protein. Beans are another high protein food that stores long term and gives you many needed calories. As long as you can boil some water these are very useful.Get some canned goods for food storage purposes. You can get a variety of tastes and types of food easily in this form. Be sure to buy things you normally eat. Simply rotate your cans as you use them keeping a bit of a stock for emergencies.

With all the talk of global warming and climate change, it should be warning enough for everyone to prepare for natural disasters by keeping their emergency supplies well stocked. Having a couple of cases of MRE and water jugs on hand will sustain until help arrives.
