Orka Akinse Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 The scene: Disaster just happened. Set plan into action, make way home. Pass a supermarket seize opportunity to increase survival stores & emergency supplies. Thinking: I'm not going to ponce about brand searching doing the usual b* llocks you do when doing the weekly shop. Objective is to get in, get whats needed, get out. What should I be including in my shopping list of food items E.g. Flour, rice, pasta etc not the crap we usually pile in the trolley, what are the essentials I should target??

gbal Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 There are plenty 'properly' calculated lists,such as the Preppers Blueprint (nutrition)-the prepped prepper will have this tatooed on forearm-its for 2 adults,2 children,survival calories(1250 per day) for 1 month:all in pounds: grains 75 dairy 24 sugars 15 legumes/veg 14 Fats/oil 3 That's some 131 lb of stuff to carry- a trolley would increase your haul of course,if any left. Ball park- it varies in detail depending whether it's a short or long term emergency....being moderately active-perhaps wild food gathering needs 2000 cals/day-that's a fair load of berries etc. Booze is too heavy,fags might be useful barter-if you can be callous. Matches ,though,will be handy. gbal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauser3006 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Not just food as per your question, but I suspect the following would be of use: Loo roll! Black bin bags. Matches. Candles. Salt. UHT Milk and tins, tins, tins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private Marker Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Veg oil. You can eat it and run an old DI on it. Safer than diesel and better for frying chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
