The possibility of food shortages.

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Many of you have probably noticed the recent remodeling/changes made in major retail stores by increasing and rearranging floor space to maximize sale floor space. However, one thing we are not seeing is the reduced storage space in back. Granted, at least here locally, several chains have built new distribution centers and they have been operating for a few years now. 

I have read and heard the phrase “we are 6 meals away from starving”, this I think is two-fold. One, most families have maybe 2-5 day’s worth of groceries on hand and secondly as I stated, many stores rely on distribution centers for quick stock replenishment.

Long Term Food Storage

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

In addition to canned goods we should put back some dry goods for long term storage. Rather than try and reinvent the wheel, I have used the methods and information from these videos and found it very helpful.

Here are some helpful links I have found on youtube.
