Decades ago when this kind of issue was being publicized by government for civil defense, i.e. fallout shelters, during the Cold War fears of Russian nuclear attack, standard advice was to rotate your fallout shelter stock. That’s still a good idea for a SHTF shelter. Date the food items (even though most packages now have open sell-by dates) and as you get new ones replace the old ones and use the old ones within two years. Cans may corrode faster in humid conditions so it’s wise to keep them rotated. Some things like candles will keep forever. If borrowing items to camp, replace them too.

What was New Orleans Plan? Ship their low-lifes to surrounding States... I personally made sure that a few of them got 3 squares and a cot... courtesy of the local Judge and a near-by Penitentiary. (Still lost all of the stuff they stole)
