Preppers are big in the number three, as in how many days hours or minutes one can survive without the essentials of life. Turns out three is an important number when it comes to stockpiling edibles as well.
The first layer is the one most of us are already stocking without really thinking about it. It’s made from stuff that goes on a bit longer than fresh stuff. If you have a bad, busy week, a minor calamity, you can still throw together A meal with level one options like, frozen meats and veggies. Level two options will last a bit longer maybe take you a bit longer to prepare. These items are meant to last a year and see a family through a longer emergency. These are your canned goods and the stuff you need to make baked goods from scratch. Your last line of defense are your hard-core prepped options. These are your freeze-dried foods meant to go on for a really long time.
Key Takeaways:
- The second layer of foodstuffs incorporates canned goods and those items you would need to make baked goods from scratch.
- Second level items generally last a year or so, while third level items can remain viable for decades.
- Third level items are hard-core prepper stuff, like freeze dried items, good for the next quarter century.
“This is the easy layer. This is the stuff you turn to when something goes a wrong and maybe you can’t get to the store right away. These foods may or may not have an extremely long shelf life and generally require power to store or prepare.”
