Someone, I think it was greeneyes, posted a link to a video some lady did about how to store a year’s worth of food. She says it will fit under the average bed.
I didn’t save the link. However, it was a very interesting video

That was Wendy Dewitt. There are several videos on you tube that she has done, and other people have reposted them. I am putting a link to one below. The under the bed comment, I think was for the long term storage of the #10 cans.
Those can be ordered on line. The LDS on line store is usually cheaper than Walmart, Amazon, or various Essential Emergency food sites. However, it is very basic. Each item is a case of 6 number 10 cans. You do not have to be a church member to order from them.
In addition, she mentions the booklet that she has put together : Everything under the sun - I have linked to that blog also. There is loads of information there, in addition to the 2 booklets I note below:
“Everything under the sun” is an excellent resource with a sample plan for a family complete with recipes and amounts needed for a year. She assumed cooking with solar oven.
Also there is “Everything made simple”. Again gives the complete recipes and amounts for a year. She assumed cooking with a rocket stove too.
As part of those packages there is a 2 page equivalency list for the various cans, containers that is quite handy for making up your own recipes.

Tilted Irish Kilt, maybe you could include these on one of your prepper threads to your ping list. I think it’s one of the best and easiest to get right into and get the job done.
Thank you!
I am thinking more along those lines these days.
What with the drought and water management issues, topped especially by gross government mismanagement, I see us facing food shortages by next winter.
I hope I’m wrong, but China has had the floods and they have been buying massive amounts of grains. Africa has had the locust invasions last year.
We had flooding and storms last year, too.
If the world sees a second year of food shortages, I do not see how widespread shortages and in some places, famine is not a strong possibility. I suspect there won’t be the reserves necessary to get us through another year, and there are no guarantees that next year will be able to make up what we’ve missed these two.
