- Make sure food items are things your family can and will eat. While getting your stockpile ready, remember to plan for allergies or special diets if there are any.
- Choose food items that have a shelf life of at least 1 year.
- Try to find items that are small, but are high in calories. During stressful times, you will burn more calories. Make sure that you have comfort foods, like candy!
- It is difficult to carry 3 gallons of water in a pack. Camel back type of packs are perfect. Or put some bottled water in the packs, but store at least 3 cases of water near the 72 hr kits. So you can grab them if you have to evacuate by car
- While packing food, remember that some foods carry odors. For example, beef jerky, though high in protein, will permeate and cause all the foods to smell/taste like jerky. Mints are the same way.
- Rotate your foods that can go rancid like nuts; store them in the cool, dry location like in a closet or under the bed
