Stocking list

[Morgan]

Does anyone have a good stock list of food to get in for storage?

My fiancee has finally come round to the idea of getting prepping and food is the key for starters.

[Prepared Chick]

I currently have the following:

Plain Flour
Rice - plain and basmati
Pasta: - different kinds:- spagetti, lasgna, fusilli etc
Beans - All kinds :- lentils, kidney beans, red lentils, split peas, mung beans, butter beans
Sugar
Salt
Seasonings :- all dried ie. chilli, curry powder, oregano, basil, cumin, garlic, spice clove etc
Tinned Soups / dried packet soups/ dried packet noodle soups
Tinned Veg: Carrots, mushrooms, corn, potato, green beans, baked beans,
Tinned Fruit: Peaches, pinnapple, grapefruit etc.
Crackers: - Jacobs /water crackers (the less oil the longer lasting)
Conduments: - ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, salad dressing
Cereals: - Oats, cornflakes, rice crispies (nothing with oils like clusters etc)
Powdered Milk - skimmed
Tea, coffee, cocoa powder, herbal tea
Raisins, prunes partly dried
long life uht mil - last 6 months unrefrigerated, long life juice lasts 1 year unrefrigerated
water

[Carnebwen]

Doesn't Skean have a list on the main site? It has all the other useful things too I think.

[TOF]

If you haven't already started storing, then take your time to decide how you want to eat from your stores and what your current diet is. Try to replicate it as near as possible in your stores and you won't have any nasty shocks when you have to rely on it. Decide on whether you want pre-prepared stuff or make your meals from scratch. You can then start stocking up accordingly. Don't forget personal hygene, cleaning materials and medicines.

[Skean Dhude]

The easiest way to start is simply buy more of what you buy now, just double up on your shopping and put some away. If you shop weekly then the next week pick up what you bought as extra and use that but still do the weekly shopping, again buying double if you can afford it. If not buy extra of your core foodstuffs and repeat. Your stores will soon grow.

My priority is food, water, medicines, hygiene, and then tools. But don't do all food and no water, spread it around a bit.

[Morgan]

Thanks folks. Good tips there, going to sit down and start planning.

BULK BUYING AND STORING FOOD

Ok just remember when you start bulk buying food such as tins or dried goods try to not buy all from the same batch or stock number or even the same shop, If the batch is tainted you could lose a huge amount of your cache in one go.

NEVER buy all from the same production date. Do try and buy stuff with the longest shelf life,
Never pay on a credit or debit card, use cash only if at all possible. Always buy a few items at a time from different shops, this stops the authorities from logging for future confiscation under emergency power laws the large amounts of food you are buying. Try and buy little and often from various sources.

Ignore the labels on the containers and mark what is in the tin / packet / tub and the necessary dates with a permanent marker pen. Labels can fall off or fade.
Don’t buy tins that are dented, scratched or look like they are overfilled (Over inflated) the contents could be off.

Try and store stuff completely out of daylight, with low humidity, and preferably some place really cool.
Rotate your stock on a regular basis, IE eat the oldest stuff first and put your replacement purchases at the back of the shelf after moving the older stuff forward.

If you are buying dry stuff like Rice, Flour, Pasta, wheat etc and it comes in packets then you really need to put the packets in sealable plastic containers to stop vermin and bugs, moisture and light ruining your food. If you can get at the food easily so can most bugs and vermin.

I believe that putting flour; rice etc in a freezer for 5 or so days kills off any weevil eggs that are found in nearly all grains etc. So buy it freeze it, then box it, but ensure that anything you do store or cache after freezing is moisture free first.

Cans should be flipped or rolled regularly if stored for any long periods to keep contents from settling out, Many people now store tins on their sides on sloping shelves so that when a can is taken for use the remaining cans roll forward and keep the contents mixed, added bonus of you end up using the older stuff first.

Don’t rely on food caches in freezers unless you have your own backup power supplies, Usually the first thing to go in a crisis or disaster is the electricity which means loads of rotting defrosted and thawed food to deal with.

In a crisis or disaster eat the fresh, chilled and frozen foods first before they go off, a skilled prepper may be able to convert joints of meats into Pemmican or Jerky, or even salt preserved pork type preserves.
The problem for many people when it comes to storing lots of tin cans is the mainstream brands of kitchen floor standing cupboard, (MAGNET, B & Q, Home-base etc) don’t have sufficient strength in the shelf supports for the amount of tins we wish to store.
On my own cupboards I have supplemented the plastic studs on the ends with 4 two inch angle brackets, screwed to both the carcass and the shelf. PLUS two more, 1 in the centre rear screwed to the backboard, and the other at the front on the centre support.( essential on 1000 mm units)

Also on a couple of my wall units I have added extra wall mounting supports underneath the unit to help the two wall unit hanger brackets carry the load.
Designs are available on the internet for inserts that allow you to store tins on their sides on sloping shelves that allow the tins to roll forward as used, thus ensuring the oldest tins are consumed first.


FOOD stuffs that have a long shelf life or can be reconstituted easily are required and it must be food you like. It does not put much of a strain upon your financial resources to spend an extra £ 2 a week on food to lay away for emergencies (unless you are a British pensioner).

Don't forget to rotate your cached food through your everyday supplies so you always have the freshest stuff in reserve. In many cases rural folk and those who are affected by restricted access to the shops keep a lot more tinned and dry goods than would normally be found in the average families town house.

I tend to buy tinned goods like baked beans, soups, vegetables, fruit, corned beef, tinned hams, peas, carrots, potatoes, tinned milk etc by the dozen, tins if looked after have a good shelf life and fairly easy to store. Do write on the end of
the tin with a marker pen what the contents are and its expiry date, just in case the label falls off during storage. I have added a shelf life list further towards the end of the book.

HYGIENE PROTOCOLS

If you think the greatest risk to your groups continued existence is going to be starvation or violence then you are very much off the mark, it will more likely be a failure of your hygiene protocols that kill off most of you and the bulk of the country’s population. Sanitation failure, bugs, food poisoning, rodents, disease (common ones more so than exotic ones) will kill more than any other reason.

If you need to be paranoid about anything post collapse then it should be hygiene, hygiene in the home, hygiene in the kitchen, hygiene when coming into contact with strangers or late arriving group members.
In a crisis for example economic collapse you will need to consider the following protocols.

Patrols to fill in and disinfect all pools / ponds/ puddles that are not used by the group over a large around the retreat.
No footwear or clothes that have been used in patrolling/ foraging / agricultural work / cesspit digging to be allowed anywhere near the kitchen or food prep / storage areas.
Anyone on kitchen / food prep duties who leaves the work area must wash again before re-entering the work area, especially if going for personal ablutions.
All toilet habits must finish with a good wash with an anti-bacterial hand cleanser.
No one with so much as a sniffle to be allowed near the kitchen / food prep storage areas during the first 6 months of the crisis.
All visitors and late arrivals to be quarantined for at least 10 days during first 6 months of crisis.
All suspicious food sources (old tins etc) to be treated with absolute caution (food taster volunteers!)
Cleaning within the home / retreat is to be of a standard that would satisfy conditions for an operating theatre or strive to be as hygienic as possible.
Washing and cleaning of clothes, crockery etc that ensures sterilisation be adopted every day during the first year of the crisis.
All waste foods that are not being recycled / composted to be buried in a way that rodents and animals cannot dig them up.
All rodents like squirrels, and scavenging types of wildlife to be eradicated within a 500 yd radius of the home / retreat if possible.
All cesspits to be limed and filled in every two weeks.
All used bandages, dressings, nappies, sanitary products to be treated as though they are lethal and must be incinerated.
All water for consumption and personal hygiene MUST be boiled or chemically treated; never assume anything about the quality of water.
All fruit and vegetables must be washed with clean water.

The above suggestions are by no means complete and it’s your own responsibility to ensure that high levels of hygiene are maintained.
An outbreak of flu is an inconvenience to you now whilst you are healthy, but post collapse it will kill your young, your weak and old folk, Imagine what an outbreak of dysentery or gastro enteritis will do to your groups integrity, Measles, mumps, TB are going to crucify those who don't maintain their health and hygiene protocols.
Please don't forget that post collapse most forms of wildlife will be a risk to your group especially if rabies travels down the channel tunnel. The hairy tailed tree rat (grey squirrel) is as big a disease carrier as the brown rat, and don't forget feral dogs and cats they will have been feeding of all sorts of unpleasant carrion.
Post collapse most cute furry things are not to be trusted and should be incinerated.

[Pagan-Mist]

fantastic list but for female preppers tampons towels and tea-towels or terry towelling products

[bigpaul]

keep it simple: store what you eat, eat what you store.

[Melissa15]

I know I'll be repeating what's already been said but as as short list for food I have
oats
rice
pasta
sugar
salt
tinned food - pulses, fruit, veg and some soups
stock cubes
I have large jars of dried pulses, pasta, rice and oats in the kitchen which I replace when they're empty, and have some rice and oats in mylar and buckets. The sugar and salt just go in buckets. I buy tons of cheapo noodle packets too.

Oh I forgot to write dehydrated veg too
