All of the tutorials and DIY projects on how to make or keep tasty meals safe for more than a few days don’t prepare you for a situation of natural disaster or other kind of emergency. Luckily for you, there are responsible websites out there that do feel like they should give you a helping hand in times of harsh weather, storms or other environmental problems which might keep you locked inside the home. In case of emergency, the usual amount of food needed by your body can double. The required energy levels are increasing when you must move and be on constant alert. The list of food you should stockpile (just in case) include Canned Alaskan Wild Salmon / Dried Beans / Brown Rice / Bulk Nuts / Peanut Butter / Trail Mix / Energy Bars and Chocolate Bars / Beef Jerky / Coffee / Instant Coffee / Sea vegetables / Powdered Super Greens.
Check out the entire list and plan emergency situations with care. You should keep a can opener in the same place with the foods, as well as check the expiration dates every half an year.
Where did you get the picture of the pantry?
This happens to be my pantry.
I would like to tip my hat to you for your pantry. I told my husband when I saw the picture “Now that’s a pantry.”
love your pantry!
need lots of water too.
This is your pantry? Did you post it on a blog or Facebook? It’s looking like someone stole your image…
I would omit the brown rice as it is known to be high in arsenic.
Go for California rice. It is lower in arsenic than Texas or foreign rice.
Any rice from Texas is high in arsenic. It’s naturally occurring in the soil and they can’t avoid it.
Less in California and India grown rice, I believe.
We write the expiration date of the outside of cans and place a sticker on the lid of mason jar lids with date canned..
Well done…
While white rice will keep for years, brown rice will not because of the oil. Delete the brown rice from your list.
Looks like an old time general store! Are you serious that’s yours?? (Well, some ppl DO joke around…) Wow! smh Someone is in for some serious sanctions!! Nail ’em!!
No rice.

Violet, You can acquire rice in most grocery stores or on-line (think Amazon). It is an essential, long-term sustained addition to any survival/emergency “store” you are putting together.
