Provident Living FAQ: three-month vs longer-term supply items

[KF7EEC]

Question:
What?s the difference between the three-month and longer-term supply items?

Answer:

Three-month supply items are foods that you normally eat, including canned and commercially packaged foods. Longer-term supply items are basic food items like grains and beans that have very low moisture content (about 10% or less), can be stored for long periods of time (20?30 years), and would sustain life if nothing else were available to eat. A portion of longer-term supply items may be rotated into the three-month supply.

As we're getting more into gardening and preserving our own food, the 3-month supply is beginning to look more like the longer-term storage. Although it's gonna' hurt when the ravioli runs out...

One of the first things I have taught my prep classes is to make homemade pasta. Easy if you have a roller, but perfectly acceptable if you roll it out by hand. One more way to utilize some of that wheat storage!
