I'm not thinking about moving into the mountains by myself, or anything like that. But, I having been thinking about this flu pandemic stuff.
What I would like to do is compile a "survival shopping list" of basic foodstuffs and similar required items in the case this pandemic scenario ever seems like it's actually coming down on us. The experts say it should take about 6 months to pass. I would like to be able to stock up for about that long, so that I could avoid travel to the supermarket, etc., where the likelihood of catching the virus is much higher.
So, what kind of basic foodstuffs would be needed and could be easily stored for 6 months, for 1 person? Things like dried beans, grains, pastas, sugar, flour, canned fruits and vegies, etc.? What kind of quantities would be needed? I would have only limited freezer space, so that's not a big help. Being able to maintain a fairly balanced diet that is supplying the required nutrients is all that I am looking for. I guess one of my main concerns is perishables. How do you stock up on dairy, meats, and produce that spoil quickly? Any thoughts? Maybe we could compile this list here online, for everybody to save for that hopefully unneeded day when it is needed.
