IF ‘something serious happens’ and you can’t take care of your household for a few weeks - YOUR FAULT.
During the ice storm of ‘98 in the no. east, I was without power for 19 days.
The only drawback was water! After my tub was drained of ‘flush water and my bottles of drinking/cooking water ran out - I had to make daily trips to the fire station for water.
I have my wood stove for heat and cooking, my kero-lamps for lights. Plenty of non-perishable foods for a few weeks, including milk.
My future plans include an all-season hand water pump.
Would like egg layers and room for more garden, fruit trees and berry bushes.
I also know which wild foods to forage.
BOB’S RED MILL is an excellent source of ‘survival’ foods - starting with milk. Their ‘dry milk powder’ is from real milk nothing else. It’s what bakers have used for decades. It’s tastes nothing like ‘powdered milk’ that you get in the store. I used to use this - buying direct from bakeries - when my kids were little (my oldest is now 60! - and when mixed and cooled, you cannot tell the difference from regular milk.
If you have dried soup vegetables and jars of broth - you’ve got gallons of soup...Spam is pure pork - about 90 from shoulder pork and rest off flank ham - stores indefinitely...sprouting seeds will give you delicious snacks packed with nutrition...buckwheat for pancakes with a little water is all you need for a great breakfast....
on and on.
It all goes back to Jesus’ parable of the bridesmaids. Keep your wicks trimmed and lamps filled...

You go hungry in the first few weeks of an emergency - SHAME ON YOU
Where I live, highways are closed for days several times each winter. Ridges of ice along county roads are pushed up to about 12 feet by heavy equipment, before they give up on those roads.
