Preparedness → Building a 90-Day Freeze-Dried Pantry

Emergencies rarely knock politely. They show up uninvited, and when they do, food security matters most. A 90-day pantry built on freeze-dried meals is a safety net that gives peace of mind.

Steps to Build a 90-Day Pantry:

1. Plan Calories per Person: Aim for 2,000 calories/day as a baseline.
2. Pick Staple Foods: Rice, beans, potatoes, and proteins (chicken, beef, eggs).
3. Add Variety: Fruits and vegetables for vitamins and morale.
4. Include Comfort Foods: Coffee, chocolate, soups—small comforts matter.
5. Store Smart: Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers extend shelf life.
6. Rotate Stock: Use and replace foods every few years to keep inventory fresh.

Takeaway:
Preparedness isn’t panic—it’s planning. With freeze drying, you’re not just stockpiling food, you’re building confidence that your family can weather any storm.
