For those of us who want to stockpile some staples could you suggest a guesstimate?

We should accumulate supplies for how long? Not expiriation dates noted on supplies, but number of months we would want to avoid mingling with the general public.

We own a big deep freeze as we live on a livestock farm. I am going to purchase a second freezer to stockpile flour, dried milk, bisquick, etc. Canned goods are easy to store if you have the space.

This is a good time to establish priorities and pitch out the stuff put away for 'someday' and use that space to store canned fruits and vegetables to assure your families are eating a well balanced meal to maintain optimum health.

Does anyone have the recipe for "Herman"? Herman is a yeast starter type of thing you keep on your shelf which is used as a rising agent to make your own bread.
