Basic Food Storage List

 

By Jessica,  Salt N' Prepper

My bare bones list for food storage necessities for one adult male. For an average adult woman multiply the amounts by 0.75. For a child ages 1-3 multiply it by 0.3. For children 4-6 multiply by 0.5. Children 7-9 multiply by 0.75. I’ve listed the category along with the weight in food you need. Under each category are the basics this weight should be distributed into. It is up to you how you distribute it. In the space provided before each item write in the amount in pounds you have of each.


(This is figured as a 1 year supply)
Remember you can adjust things as you need to for your family's likes and dislikes. But I think Jessica did a really great job of giving everyone a starting point! SRN
