As I've said before, I think it's sensible to have a week or two's worth of supplies on hand. What I don't believe in is prepping for an extremely low probably SHTF type scenario.

The minimum that a rational person should be prepared for is two weeks. It's not uncommon for me to be out of power for several days at a time due to weather (mostly snowstorms/ice-storms), with the roads being ugly. I maintain enough food in the pantry to keep us fed for a month, and rotate it so that it all gets used before it gets near expiration date.

I always have multiple months worth of food on hand because I'm a cheap bastard that buys in bulk when stuff is on sale. ;)

It's cool that doing that helps keep me alive if something breaks or bends in my world and I can't get to a store for a few months.
