Baked Beans!

[modplod]

I'm starting to organise my food requirement for 10 persons over a 6 month period.

The only thing I can think of is (yes you guessed it) - BAKED BEANS!

I presume a human being can't live for 6 months on just baked beans?

I wanted to ask you all what other tinned foods you have in your prepping store.

Just thought of another - Frey Bentos Meat Pies! YUCK..... I remember these things from my youth and hated them with vengance.

I have one side of my double garage prepared as my emergency food store. This gives me about 30 square metres of storage space including the loft area which I have lined with wood (the brick built garage with pitched roof is 18 ft x 19 ft). I have lined one side with 8 tier plastic shelving. This is quite a lot of storage space for food. My water supply in in my rear garden (a crystal clear freshwater stream).

Apart from storing my beloved motorcycle in that side (Yamaha XT600E trail bike), it will contain just the food supply.

I have a Aldies quite near and intend to make good use of it in the next few weeks.

I should add that the other 9 people I'm intending to cater for here think I'm a paranoid nutter!

Ungrateful lot eh?

Meats: chicken / beef curries, chilli con carne, hot dogs, spam, corned beef, pies !
Veg: sweetcorn, peas, potatos, etc
Fish: Salmon, tuna
Puds: steam puds, rice pud, custard, evap milk

Thats for tins at least, just take a browse next time you're shopping it's surprising what's available when you look past all the stuff you always buy.
If you fill all your (plastic) shelves with tins though, they'll probably break
So dried goods like rice, pasta, couscous, oats, noodles, cereals can fill up space without overstraining the shelves.

if like me you like pasta , then just about any form of pasta can be stored . i don`t matter if its twists or super noodles .
also tinned potatoes , carrots even green beans .
any form of tinned meat every thing from spam to bacon grill .even tinned chicken .
packets of cassarole mix as well . you may not be able to get beef but you could use rabbit .
all kinds of tinned fruit and condensed milk , packets of custard .
i could go on but i think you get the idea .

Hi

I stock the following tins - tomatoes, potatoes, peas, carrots, sweet corn, butterbeans, kidney beans, black eye beans, white kidney beans, baked beans, rice pudding, various fruits, spinach, prolly others I can't remember at the mo.

Then rice, pasta, oats and cous-cous for dried items.

Might be worth storing a bunch of water too - so cheap - incase the stream became undrinkable. Or add a purification system to your preps.

Cheers

We should have that emlazed across the top of this site eh Su

But yes, Modplod, only stock stuff that you are prepared to eat. It's bad enough in any emergency - personal or global - so make sure you can eat stuff you like. It's also good for morale if nothing else - besides, imagine couped up with a bunch of people of a baked bean diet!!
