An important aspect of self sufficient living is the need for long term food storage. While many people depend daily on the supermarket for their meals (some even shop between meals), recent disasters such as Katrina, remind us that situations can quickly change, making it difficult to depend on the grocery store to supply our needs.
While definitions may vary, I think a one-year supply is reasonable. Utilizing a variety of preservation and storage methods, most families can acheive this goal with a little planning and budgeting.
