The 1 year supply is a directive of the Mormons. They also have one other thing that is a requirement..
And its not on your list...
A 72 hour bug out kit.
All the stock piling in the world would have done you no good in New Orleans during Katrina...
In case you need to get out of your house quickly... flood, forest fire, earthquake... you won't be able to take all that stock pile with you...
A 72 hour kit FOR EACH MEMBER of the family is a really good idea
You keep it stocked and have it somewhere near the door... so you can grab it on the way out. Especially good if you need special medication to have that in there as well...
Oh and don't go bragging about how YOU are stock piling to friends and neighbor... because when the brown smelly stuff hits the fan... they will remember that YOU have while they have not...
Yes yes I know peace and love and share with those less fortunate than you ...
Works fine until you realize that your one year supply for YOUR family will not last very long when THEY come...
Your parents laughed at you when you stock piled...
Will you share with them?
Your best friends went to the Mall and bought fashion and video games...
Will you share with them?
Your neighbors are now starving but remember making jokes about your stock piling...
Will you share with them?
If you answered yes to all the above without thinking it through... then I suggest you convert your garage to a food pantry, because your going to need it...
To the rest... think about it... and remember the Grasshopper and the Ant
