What to keep in your Emergency Storage

When talking with people about food storage I often get asked what I keep in my food storage. It’s very simple, what my family eats. Choosing to stock up on food that is easily stored and that your family will eat consistently is the best way to start your emergency food storage.

I also keep some of the other basic need in my emergency storage like paper goods, medicine, batteries, and water. I have created a basic list of items...
