Food guide
A pantry buffer should look suspiciously like food you already eat.
The best emergency food is boring, shelf-stable, and familiar. The second-best is specialty food that fills gaps. The worst is a closet full of mystery buckets nobody wants to open.
What to do next
- ✓Build from normal meals first.
- ✓Track calories, protein, water needs, and cooking fuel.
- ✓Rotate by eating from the buffer monthly.
- ✓Use ready-made products for convenience, not as a personality.
