I wanted to share some things we've been doing to prepare ourselves for an event that would prevent easy access to food. Many people have differing opinions on what you should stock in your pantry.
When you first start, you should have some kind of storage in mind. Mason jars are great because they will keep bugs and moisture out and will last a long time. Locking clamp style jars can be great for making alcohol or fermented foods.
Beans, rice, and lentils will go a long way and don't take up much space. You can find them on sale for a very good price. Every pantry should have some on hand.
Salt and spices will be very important to keep things tasting good. Not only do they improve the flavor, but have many good nutritive properties as well.
