Excellent post, thank you! What a coincidence, our handsome new Berkey just arrived today. After much research, we think they are the best - their filtration system can even remove food coloring from water!! The Sig Oth has it already mounted up on the wall in our RV, which is our Bug-Out "Location", Aka "Plan B", Plan A being sit tight. I have myself, a woman now in her mid-60s, picked up a shovel and fought no less than five wildfires that threatened my home in the past 29 years here, so being ready to bug out is second nature. We use commercial Seal-a-meal packaging, then into 5 gallon buckets for certain things, also, always throw a handful of bay leaves in flours and cereals, keeps the bugs out and as a bonus you always have a stash of bay leaves. Here's one of many, many lists online about what to stockpile. https://tuppennysfireplace.com/best-foods-to-stockpile/ There are also many posts about how much you need per person in your family. Remember that careful stockpiling today prevents panic buying and hoarding tomorrow. Also "one equals none, and two equals one" is a prepper maxim. If you have one of something, use it and you have none, and if you have two...you get the point. And of course you can rotate your stores but REPLACE them, ASAP. The moment you crack those stores open the clock is ticking towards running out of food. One last thought - don't stash food you don't like, because you think you "should". I ignore the advice to stock up on Spam and Treet. I was raised on the former and had my fill of it, and cannot stand the latter. Prefer good homemade deer jerky and sardines and they're better for you anyway. Remember things like honey (sure to be in short supply) and also spices, so you can eat well and maintain your health and wellbeing with delicious food.
