Just in the pantry and freezer would likely last us 4-6 weeks which would see us through any natural disaster (my goal in “prepping”). In the basement, yes I actually have a basement in Oklahoma, there is the freeze dried stuff plus flour, sugar and salt that would keep us going for much longer. I also keep 5 cases of MREs that are at this point for handing out to other folks in need. FYI on MREs I’ve found it’s the main meal that gets a little off over time and can be replaced for much less than the cost of a new MRE. Also I should note that when I started getting prepared to see myself and family through a disaster it was after seeing the horrible response from FEMA after Katrina. After witnessing that it became clear we could be on our own for a good while. Now my family has shrunk and I traded earthquakes in for tornados.</p></blockquote><p></p>
