Emergency Supply Kit
ASK THE POOR HOW TO SURVIVE! My family use to move about every summer for about three-four months following the crops. We live on only what could be fitted in the trunk of the car. We camp out in city and state parks overnight with six of us in the car. We slept and ate in the park and worked along side with my parents. So believe me I know how to survive for 72 hours on basic's. With that experience and idea in mind, this is a meager list of emergency supplies we survived on.
https://pinterest.com/ptsherm/foodstorage-canning/
BUY AN: EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT (FREEZE, DRY ITEMS 2 HRS, FIRST, THEN STORE)
1. Breakfasts: Oatmeal, malt o meal, etc., and sugar for each person. One cup servings per person for 3 days is 3 breakfast. (Grain and protein)
2. Lunch: Jar of peanut butter (assorted nuts), or jam,*(2), and powdered milk, (or, Jerky, canned products such as tuna, meats are all-optional) The pancakes are your breads and is basic. (Grain, fruit, vegetable and protein)
3. Dinner: You going to make brown gravy with pancakes. If you brown the gravy you'll not need meat. Buy a Combination of Biscuit and Pancake mix (big one) (See below) or , 5 lbs flour, can of baking powders, salt and small can of shortening. There is directions on the baking powder can to make pancakes add more liquids. (Grain, protein and fat)
4. 1 gallon of water (or more) per person x 3 days (at least 6 gallons must + more if you plan bathing, etc.) Boil the water first so no bacteria will form.
5.Fuel Sources: Oven or Cooking Stove can be make of large cans, olive oil cans will make a good oven. We used just use a large skillet sat on top of 3 rocks (about the same size) directly on top of the fire. Some paper to start the fire, lighter, dry wood or self lighting charcoal if wood i.e. (Matches are harder to store, a candle lighter will also work.)
8. Cloth diapers (You'll be able to find some water to boil and wash them out) Need a to wash this in? A good container is 5 gal pop corn cans or a big pot. It can store supplies in too. Other baby equipment, the baby's age will determine the needs.
9. Prescriptions you
use, First aid kits? Over the counter drugs, plus, diabetic equipment. Store meds, in small plastic bags, count out what extra you can spare, date then label. First aid kit can be a salve, tape, insect repellent and toilet paper. Don't need this? Skip
10. A basic soap for everything. (Ivory or Napa bar soap)
11. Linen: Face, wash, and dish cloths. (You can make do with one each person for 72 hours) What do you have available? Keep it light.
12. One of these: Quilts, thermal blankets, or sleeping bag, if you own one, (one on bottom and one on top blanket making it a male and female pallets). What you have make it do! A plastic garbage bags under keeps you dry in some areas of the world. You've got the idea!
13. Utensils: Plastic plate, big spoon, fork, pancake turner, knife, can opener, rolling pen etc. Note that you can just use cans that food comes in for cup, glass, and a bowl. (It's only 72 hrs.) Plan it out.
14. A good CAST IRON skillet it will be your stove too. Use what you have for now, but later buy an extra one to store permanently. Very essential!
Why a list? Some panic in times of disasters and minds becomes fuzzy and confused. Keep this list handy to check off items. Remember to store, what you have on hand NOW. Use this list to shop for the other items later.
* Snacks are optional additions: Beverages: teas, Pero, Postum, Sanka, hot chocolate, coffee (if not Mormon), razor, canned vegetables and vegetables, spices, or rice. Canned items easy and ready to use out of the can. Sanitary napkins or senior pads, purse, and other items may be added here. It's your list and add in personal needs for 3 days.
*Resource List: Make your own for your area.

My parents were migrate workers we lived on pancakes and gravy (hot food/milk) It was comfort food for us kids. Maybe you can use this or not?
Pancakes or biscuits (grain or beans here)
2 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powders.
1 t salt
6 Tbs. shortening (oil is hard to keep and handle)
3/4 cups of milk or water (adding more liquids for making pancakes)
How much to make this gravy or rue depends on the size of your family or half this recipe.
OR, you can make up a mix from my other journal...if on line "Quick Bread Mixes" recipes.
After making one of these mixes from my blog, freeze it in a plastic container for 12-24 hours. That goes for any grains (oatmeal, rice, malt o meal, etc.), that will be stored longer periods of time. This will kill any weevil inside afterwards can be stored in the lined with plastic 5 gallon bucket.
Gravy
1 Tb. of shortening and flour per person with every cup of milk (brown the flour in the shortening first. Then add the milk till it stops thickening. You will not need spoons, etc., use your pancakes to sop up the gravy. It's very comforting food and hot. It's basics. Sub. for another cultures here if it doesn't fit your life style. *(1)
*Make 2 lists of everything you gather in each bucket. Number each list and bucket placing one list on top of each bucket and seal. Keeping a copy of the contents of each bucket is essential. You'll know where you've been and where to go from them.
* Concentrated 30 lbs (5 gal.) soap comes in great container because they are water proof, this style of lids seals tightly, water and critters can't get into it. If your bucket has comes with handles, it will be easy to carry. The soap is very economical, too, for these hard times. Use whatever container you have on hand. Place this storage handy ready to go out the door as needed. (5 gallon of popped popcorn cans?)
*Yes, grab fresh vegetables like potatoes, carrots, etc., on the way out! (and we ate from nature in the wild. Mother was part Indian and she knew what to look for and do.
STORE WHATEVER YOU HAVE ON HAND. DO IT NOW!
* (1) Did you note? You just need to plan to sub for one easy meal for 3 meals for each person with breakfast, lunch or dinner. Feel free to sub and do your own culture foods! The ideas here is bread basic ("Staff of life") to everyone. Add Rice, freeze first 24 hr. in freezer. Keep it simple.
Plan for 3, is 9 meals a day x 3 days is 18 meals for one person. DO THE MATH! That's 3 breakfast, 3 dinners and 3 lunches. For two, just double the 18.
*Documents: Make copies of important papers, emergency contacts, credit cards and pre-paid phone cards, purse and CASH (power will be out)! (Note: Keep small emergency car kits in auto). Cell phone charges and carry a charger in that plugs into the lighter to keep phones operational at all times.
Other Items: Yes a gun, bullets, i.e. toilet paper, first aid ointment, tape, contact solution, socks, coats, baby needs, whistle, can opener, knife, fork, mess kit. Keep some of these supplies in car or and purse. (Don't tell others about your storage.)
*(2) Plan to add enough peanut butter and/or jam for each meal. Jam keeps a long shelf life.
*All publishing rights reserved: No publishing parts without permission.
Substitute other grain? With other cultures using your recipes, like flour tortillas, just add in a rolling pen and equipment needed under "Utensils"...get the idea? All of us use grains (breads) but make them up differently in other parts of the world..........................

Do your style but keep it simple, quality, basic and cheap! Make your own list...however, take my experienced council...do not mostly use and store canned processed food storage...they are for the dumb rich...been there, done that, hated it and had to give it all away. Story only what you use!!!
Psalm 41:1- ..."Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. 2. The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth; and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of enemies. Store for your family and neighbors.
