Cody Lundin survival expert and author of “When disaster strikes, survival tactics for when all hell breaks loose shares how to shop for a disaster scenario.
Many items that are essential to survival are available right in your local grocery store, and most of them are not very expensive. It just takes a little bit of creativity to get you through.
The Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes Shopping List:
SHOPPING FOR SUPPLIES:
-
Chlorine
Bleach can make water safe to drink. Sodium hypercholrite is also known as “regular household bleach”
Add 2-4 drops per quart of water to sanitize.
Bleach can also be used to disinfect surfaces and bathrooms when there is no more running water.
Trash bags
Getting rid of waste will be very important after a disaster. Disease and illness will begin to be a problem if you do not properly dispose of things.
Picnic supplies
Paper plates, napkins, platstic silverwear, are a worth their weight in gold. Since you may not have running water, washing dishes will become impossible.
All your reusable flatware is useless. Bacteria, mold, and fungus will start to growon surfaces where food once was, if you can’t wash them, then you won’t be eating off them again.
When water is in short supply you don’t want to have to waste any on washing dishes.
SHOPPING FOR FOOD:
-
Rice and Beans
Packed with carbohydrates and protein rice and beans are a great source of energy. They are also cheap and last a very long time on the shelf
Tuna
Tuna is packed with protein, but remember to buy the tuna in a can rather than in a bag that may spoil faster
Cooking oil
Absolutely essential for cooking your food but can also be used to make candles and lighting
Mouse traps
Mouse traps are a great way of trapping small game for food. When you run out of other options you will be thankful you have these on hand.
