We haven't touched on food storage..i almost hate too as there are so many opinions..store at least the basics which you don't have to rotate as much but they have to be stored correctly to begin with...per person 1 year supply
rice 40 lbs
oats 30 lbs (plain steel cut, not the quick or the flavored!)
sugar/honey 20 lbs
salt at least 10 lbs
dried beans & lentils 40 lbs
dried milk 25 lbs
White Vinegar 1-2 Gallons
Crisco 2 Large Cans (good for at least 5 years maybe more)
freeze dried fruit #10 cans at least 2-3 cans
freeze dried peas, green beans, broccoli 2-3 cans)
Multi Vitamin(Not gummies!)
Keep in mind you will be making meals of from this supply so the more kinds and variety the better off you will be, so add ons little by little to this basic store.

Worthy add ons -
Peanut Butter
Jam/Jelly
Spices garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cumin, cinnamon(at least)
olive oil
instant coffee
pasta
flour
yeast
Pancake Mix
baking powder
baking Soda
dried eggs
canned fruit
Bob's Red Mill Coffee Cake(my weakness)
canned meat - tuna, salmon, chicken etc (you will need protein at least 50-170 grams of protein per day)off the top of my head this is a good list to start..it's a lot if you look at it as a whole but just start is the point!!
