I would all this simple simple #5.

If, like most people, you own a propane outdoor BBQ, get a spare tank and keep it in a cool area indoors (or outdoors away from direct sunshine or other heat.)

This allows you not to be limited to cold drinks and meals.

People, please don’t keep a propane tank indoors.
I keep about five spares, in a shed detached from the living quarters.

We keep 4-5 filled propane bottles in the garage at all times.

Water is mega important. If the tap goes off and you don’t have a well you will be drinking roof runoff and if you don’t have a good gravity water filter you will get very sick. We have three 55 gallon blue water barrels filled in our garage Plus a Big Berkey water filter and a homemade back up water filter from a kit you can buy on line and hook it all up to two 5 gallon food grade buckets from Lowes.

We also have a rocket stove that can be placed in the fireplace and can be used to cook so the neighbors don’t know you are cooking. Again you can make a rocket stove yourself out of a #10 can and a vegetable can with a little quickcrete and some vermiculite. Very simple to assemble. Mr. GG2 has made a water filter kit and a rocket stove for everyone in our family. Its not costly.

Go to the health food store and get a couple of bottles of 250 ppm colloidal silver to keep on hand and a small bottle of oil of oregano. If something bad happens you will likely not be able to get antibiotics. Both of these are anti viral. Mr. GG2 has built a silver generator so he strong antimicrobials and the oil of oregano is also an makes it for us now.

Canned food lasts a long time. Rice, beans and pasta from the store last a long time. Packets of Idahoan mashed potatoes and packaged soup mixes last a long time. It does not have to be freeze dried. Peanut butter has a lot of fat and is very nutritional. It lasts a long time. Honey never goes bad.

I have 25 of these on hand and the fixture to refill the small bottles from these 20 pound bottles.
