It's interesting you mentioned storable food.
 
We looked into "storable" foods but found short-mid term options a whole lot
more affordable.  Having a 25 year shelf life sounds great but there is an
enormous cost associated with it.
 
We took the the much cheaper route with dried stuff as you mentioned, but also
included cereals, long term milk (including evaporated), lots of canned stuff,
beans, chili, soup, granola bars, coffee, tea, etc.
 
Ultimately, our store is 3 months easily, stretching to 6 months with some
work. I try to concentrate on what might be a meal vs going hungry, not a great
 meal, but a can of baked beans is a whole lot better than nothing. Oh, we do
have a Royal Berkey filter too.  That is a must, or something comparable of
another brand.
 
One thing you mentioned we really don't have, is a rotation schedule.  A lot of
 stuff will keep for a very long time, but rotatings it is just good sense.
 
Not sure if you've listened to Mike Adams at Natural News in the past, but on
Feb 21st he did a really good breakdown of what it was like in Texas when
everything was closed and nobody was prepared.  If you haven't seen it already,
 look on brighteon.com and search for Health Ranger Report, then scroll through
 the list to find the Situation Update for Feb 21,2021.
 
Thanks,
Jikey.
