Are you in town or very rural? Does your area suffer from weather extremes and hurricanes?Ī two week supply of foods is a good place to start. It does depend entirely on your individual circumstances. As a non-prepper I would suggest something smaller. Preppers might say you need a years supply of food as a basic stockpile. I wish I had a small emergency stockpile to see me through. I wish I had gone shopping yesterday and I wish I had thought about the best food for surviving a few days unexpectedly. You never want to be in the position of thinking: I wish. Life happens and gets in the way of best laid plans. Pandemics happen, as we now know snow storms and floods happen and cut you off from everything for potential a week or more. Building a small stockpile of foods, even if it’s not for an emergency is sensible for everyone.Įveryone should have an emergency food supply because you are not in control of being able to buy more food when you need it. She couldn’t delay going to the grocery store for one day unless they ate out, because they had no supplies at all.Ĭan you imagine her stress when we had the panic buying frenzy that preceded the 2020 pandemic?Ĭan you imagine not having enough food put by to go just one extra day without shopping? No, neither can I. No emergency meal, no half open packet of pasta or a can of sweetcorn.

Why Everyone should be prepping for an emergency stockpileĪ co-worker friend of mine used to buy exactly what her family needed for one week, to the point where the night before shopping day they had nothing in the house.
