The Prudent Pantry:
Your Guide to Building a Food Insurance Program

Available from Borderline Press http://www.providenceco-op.com

There is much more to creating and using a food storage program in times of crisis or disaster than just knowing what foods can be packaged in particular ways to keep them at their best for long periods of time.

        Before acquiring foods to put into your storage program you first need to identify the potential problems you are concerned with surviving. Having done that, you'll then need to know:

  1. How to plan for the particular circumstances of each problem you feel the need to prepare against;
  2. How much of what kinds of food to put away to meet each challenge;
  3. How to keep track of it all;
  4. Where to store it;
  5. How to cook it should your normal means of food preparation fail; and
  6. Just as importantly, how to safely cope with the inevitable result of all food consumption - sanitary needs.
        With this FAQ having already grown to a cumbersome 130+ pages these additional topics cannot be covered here, to do that would expand this work into a good sized book.

        Which is exactly what has happened. To address these other, also vital, considerations I have created The Prudent Pantry: Your Guide To Building A Food Insurance Program. The subject areas outside of those relating strictly to the how-to of putting food into storage and keeping it at its best that could not be covered in the Prudent Food Storage FAQ have been covered in-depth there along with all of the Prudent Food Storage FAQ material presented here. A complete contents listing of The Prudent Pantry may also be found on the Providence Cooperative web site at http://www.providenceco-op.com.
