Food Room

Mike's new idea is to move each of the children's food storage to their rooms to make space for more down in the basement. I think this is a great idea. According to provident living, a food storage calculator, a certain amount of grains and rice for a basic storage per person. By sticking in each room we can first tell if we have enough for 9 people and we can rotate it by month one take out the food from Jon's room and replace with new and so forth. If there was an emergency or job loss or such I think we would eat more of it but it gives us a goal.

That is Adam- all his and Kenny's hasn't been moved to his closet. The top of his closet has Kenny's year supply of diapers and wipers that I bought from Amazon.com- should have seen the porch the day UPS delivered all those.

I would love it if there was a site where people would post what their food supply looks like in their houses. It would give ideas of stuff to store or ways to do it or that sort of thing. Here is a look beyond the boxes of grains. Above the shelves are boxes with stuff like ketchup that would not fit on the shelves. Water boxes from Emegency Essentials are below. Stuff like toilet paper I put in the cabinets in the bathrooms and laundry detergent I keep a year supply above the washer.
One of the really good ideas Mike had was to fill our Mason/Kerr jars that were empty with water. We were storing them anyways might as well have some quarts of drinking water.
