Prepping tips: How to start building a one-year food supply

(Natural News) If you truly want to be prepared for a long-term survival scenario, consider setting up a one-year food supply before SHTF.
Since this can be time-consuming and expensive, work your way up to a one-year supply by starting with a more manageable goal, like a three-day supply of food for the whole family. (h/t to SurvivalSullivan.com)
Start small when stockpiling food supplies

If you already have enough food supplies for one to two weeks, you’re one step closer to having enough food for one year.
But if you are a prepping beginner or have only recently started stockpiling food supplies for emergencies, trying to stock up enough food for one year will seem very daunting.
Start simple with a three-day supply of food, then move on to a one-week supply. As you get used to stockpiling food, add more supplies until you have enough for one month. Eventually, you should have enough for one year or so. (Related: Food supply 101: Tips for preparing a healthy food stockpile.)
How much food do you need per day?

To find out how much food you need per day, start by figuring out how to determine your calorie targets.
Multiply the number of people in your group or family by the number of days that you are planning for your stockpile. On average, one person needs 2,200 calories per day.
Here are some sample equations:
2,200 cal x 4 people x 3 days = 26,400 calories in storage
2,200 cal x 4 people x 30 days = 264,000 calories in storage
2,200 cal x 4 people X 365 days = 3,212,000 calories in storage
While a group of four people will require a lot of calories for one year, you can meet this need by scaling up when acquiring the food.
Building a three-day supply

The three-day supply is the gold standard for basic preparation. Common SHTF events that may last for three days or so include power outages.
Your food choices are generally up to you, but you should consider stocking up on items that have a long shelf life and are easy to prepare. Make sure you buy things that you and your family don’t mind eating a lot of for three days.

• Bottled water
• Bread and crackers
• Breakfast cereal
• Canned fruit
• Canned meals, such as chili and soup
• Canned meat like ham, salmon, tuna and turkey
• Dried fruit
• Granola bars
• Nuts and trail mix
• Peanut butter
• Snacks like cookies, etc.

Building a one-week supply

After you stock up on enough food for at least three days, aim for a one-week supply. This should be enough to get you through the aftermath of a serious localized disaster, like a long-term power outage.
Keep things simple by duplicating your three-day supply and adding other new items so you have a variety of foods to make up the difference.
Building a one-month supply

A one-month supply of food on hand and in storage can help you and your family get through a significant regional disaster or other events that completely disrupt supply lines and your usual routine.
Add more items to the list above, and make sure you store food properly so items stay fresh in your stockpile even after one month. You should also rotate supplies that don’t have a long shelf life to prevent spoilage.
If storage space is an issue, consider setting up a separate room or building a secure shed for food storage.
Items to add to your stockpile:

• Dry pasta
• Oatmeal
• Pasta sauces

Building a three-month supply

A three-month supply of food can sustain a family or group of people through calamitous events like civil conflict or famine. Like with the one-month supply, you have to regularly rotate and inspect items to prevent spoilage.
To stock up on this much food, duplicate your one-month food plan twice.
Items to add to your stockpile:

• Self-stored water
• Powdered drink mixes, coffee, tea, etc.
• Rice

Building a six-month supply

A six-month supply of food requires a significant investment of time and money that can help secure your survival when SHTF.
However, the average home cannot hold a six-month supply of food without sacrificing most of the living and storage space. If space is an issue, invest in supplementary storage.
To expand your stockpile into a six-month supply, duplicate your three-month purchase plan.
Items to add to your stockpile:

• Beans
• Bread mixes
• Canned or powdered milk
• Freeze-dried foods
• Herbs and spices
• MREs or camper meals (Only on a supplementary basis.)
• Multivitamins
• Self-stored and treated water

Building a one-year supply

A one-year supply of food will prepare you and your family for almost any survival scenario, like the total collapse of an economy or civil war.
Again, storage space will be an issue since you will have a lot more items in your stockpile. But if you have the room, this is achievable if you are dedicated to constantly expanding your supply over time.
To build a one-year supply of food for your family, duplicate your six-month supply and add more items to prevent food boredom.
Extend the shelf life of food with proper storage

Make sure your one-year supply of food lasts by storing items properly. Keep your storage location cool, preferably between 50 to 60 F (10 to 15 C) and under 75 F (24 C) if possible.
Note that warmer temperatures accelerate spoilage, while cooler temperatures preserve food longer. Store food away from light, be it artificial light or sunlight, since it can promote decay.
This amount of food is vulnerable to pests like rodents and insects, so make sure your stockroom is secured to keep out various pests. Pests like rats can still get into plastic containers.
If possible, use air-tight metal containers for food storage.
Before SHTF, make it a goal to have a one-year food stockpile so you can keep your family fed during a long-term survival scenario.

Science-backed health benefits of the ancient herb thyme

11/05/2024 // Olivia Cook // 980 Views

Thyme has been cherished for centuries for its culinary uses and medicinal value. Ancient Egyptians used it in mummification due to its preservation properties, while the Greeks associated thyme with courage and energy. By the Middle Ages, thyme symbolized bravery and was placed under pillows to help ward off nightmares.Over time, people began to realize that thyme's aromatic oils could fight infections and preserve food. Here are some of the science-backed health benefits of this ancient herb:
Calms and supports the nervous system

The compound carvacrol in thyme has a naturally calming effect on the nervous system. By acting on neurotransmitters (the brain's chemical messengers), carvacrol helps to promote a sense of relaxation, which may be beneficial for people with mild anxiety or stress.
Eases menstrual discomfort naturally

Thyme tea has antispasmodic properties, which can be especially helpful for menstrual cramps. Some active compounds in thyme, such as carvacrol, are known to naturally relieve discomfort and may also help stabilize mood swings associated with menstruation.
Fights bacteria, fungi and microbes

The compound thymol, abundant in thyme, is well known for its antimicrobial properties – making it effective in combating bacterial, fungal and viral infections. Studies published in Microorganisms show thyme oil has antibacterial effects against pathogens like Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus, which cause infections in humans. This makes thyme a potential natural remedy for keeping harmful microbes in check – especially when used as an essential oil.
Guards against foodborne illnesses

Thyme oil's antibacterial activity makes it useful in preventing food spoilage and foodborne infections. Research published in the Brazilian Journal of Biology has shown that even small amounts of thyme oil can inhibit the growth of bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus saprophyticus, which are common in food. Thyme's preservative qualities make it an excellent option for keeping food fresh and reducing the risk of illness.
Helps preserve food and prevent food poisoning

The antibacterial properties of thyme make it an effective natural preservative. Thyme's essential oil and its major constituents carvacrol, estragol, linalool, p-cymene and thymol can extend the shelf life of food and may even reduce the risk of food poisoning by killing bacteria and other pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses, such as Shigella.
Improves circulation

Rich in iron and other minerals, thyme is beneficial for circulation because iron is vital for red blood cell production. An increase in red blood cells enhances oxygen supply to organs and tissues, which supports overall energy level, organ function and vitality.
May help fight cancer

The essential oil carvacrol has shown anticancer potential, particularly against colon cancer. Research published in Anticancer Drugs indicates that carvacrol inhibits cancer cell growth and migration.
Uplifts mood and eases stress naturally

Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine in thyme plays a role in regulating neurotransmitters in the brain that influence mood. Regular intake of thyme may support a more stable mood by reducing stress hormone levels and promoting relaxation.
Offers antioxidant protection

Thyme boasts a high content of phenolic antioxidants, such as lutein, thymonin and zeaxanthin, which neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals are unstable molecules that cause cell damage – leading to inflammation and chronic diseases. By eliminating free radicals, thyme's antioxidants support brain, heart and skin health, while also slowing cellular aging.
Provides essential vitamins and minerals

Beyond antioxidants, thyme is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including substantial amounts of vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as B complex vitamins like niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6) and folate (B9). Additionally, thyme is packed with minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium and selenium. Together, these nutrients help keep the immune system ready to fight off viral infections and support optimum health.
Strengthens the immune system

Thyme is rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant essential for immune health. This vitamin plays a critical role in stimulating the production of white blood cells, which are our body's first line of defense against infections. It also assists in the formation of collagen, a protein vital for forming, maintaining and repairing blood vessels, cells, muscles, skin and tissues.
Supports bone health and promotes strong bones

Thyme is a natural source of calcium, iron, manganese and vitamin K – all nutrients essential for bone health. Vitamin K plays a crucial role in bone density by assisting calcium absorption, which reduces the risk of osteoporosis.
Supports brain health and enhances cognitive function

Research published in Molecules suggests that thyme may positively influence brain health by supporting the production of dopamine and serotonin – hormones crucial for mood regulation. Thyme's antioxidants and nutrients may help delay the onset of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's by reducing oxidative stress in brain cells.
Supports eye health and improves vision

With high levels of vitamin A, thyme supports eye health by protecting against age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Vitamin A is an antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals in the eyes.
Supports heart health, lowers blood pressure and regulates cholesterol

Thyme's manganese and potassium content offers cardiovascular benefits by helping lower blood pressure. Potassium is a natural vasodilator as it relaxes blood vessels, reducing strain on the heart and lowering the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks and stroke.
Studies on thyme extract published in Frontiers in Nutrition suggest it can help lower heart rate and reduce levels of LDL ("bad" cholesterol) while raising HDL ("good" cholesterol).
Supports oral health

Thyme is commonly used in dental products due to its ability to reduce oral bacteria and prevent tooth decay. Compounds in thyme help prevent plaque buildup and reduce the risk of gum disease.
This ancient herb has been used traditionally as a mouthwash to combat bad breath and reduce oral thrush – a yeast infection caused by Candida albicans. When mixed with water, thyme oil provides an effective rinse to alleviate thrush symptoms and maintain oral hygiene.
Supports reasonable weight management goals

The compound thymol in thyme is believed to increase metabolism by helping the body break down fats more effectively, which supports weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and active lifestyle. Additionally, thyme tea may help control appetite – making it easier to avoid overeating or snacking between means.
Supports respiratory health

As a natural expectorant, thyme helps clear respiratory passages by thinning mucus, which makes it easier to expel. It is traditionally used to alleviate persistent cough, sinus congestion and sore throat and can be particularly helpful during the cold and flu season.
Supports skin health and protects against atopic dermatitis

Thyme's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties are beneficial for skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis – a long-lasting skin condition that causes inflamed, itchy and red patches on the skin. Thymol has been shown to reduce skin inflammation by limiting inflammatory compounds in the body, which may reduce the risk of secondary bacterial infections, such as those caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

As a prepper, having a reliable food supply can help set your mind at ease. If you're preparing for emergencies like a power outage, a natural disaster or a civil war, knowing how to preserve food can help you provide for your family when SHTF. (h/t to MomWithAPrep.com) Detailed below are some food preservation methods that can benefit preppers.
Canning (Water bath and pressure canning)

Canning is a tried and tested food preservation method that seals food in jars and heats them to a temperature that destroys bacteria.
A method like water bath canning is ideal for high-acid foods like fruits and jams.
Here are some of the best high-acid foods for water bath canning:

• Apples
• Blackberries
• Blueberries
• Cranberries
• Grapes
• Lemons
• Pears
• Pickles
• Plums
• Sour cherries
• Yellow peaches

On the other hand, pressure canning is best for low-acid foods like vegetables and meats.
Here are some of the best low-acid foods for pressure canning:

• Corn
• Dried Beans
• Green beans (when canned plain with only salt and water)
• Meats
• Potatoes
• Soups

Removing oxygen and sealing the food in airtight containers means canning can extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables from your garden for several months or even years. Always follow proper canning guidelines to avoid spoilage or contamination. (Related: Quick pickles: The perfect snack to add to your survival stockpile.)
Dehydrating

Dehydrating is a food preservation method that removes moisture from food, making it inhospitable to bacteria and mold.
This method can be simple or you can go high-tech. You can use the sun, your oven or a dehydrator. Dehydrated foods, like jerky, fruits and vegetables can last for months or years.
Fermenting

Fermenting is a food preservation method that uses "good" bacteria to preserve food and is best for vegetables like cabbage and cucumbers, which can produce sauerkraut and pickles, respectively.
The fermentation process produces acids that prevent harmful bacteria from growing in the food.
Freeze drying

Freeze drying is a high-tech food preservation method that removes almost all the water from produce while also retaining its shape, flavor and nutrients.
Freeze-dried foods, such as fruits and vegetables, have an extremely long shelf life. While freeze-dried food can be expensive, investing in a freeze-dryer means you can make your own freeze-dried meals at home.
Alternatively, you can buy lab-verified food from a trusted source to ensure that your family has access to nutritious fruits and vegetables even after SHTF.
Sugaring

Sugaring is a method that preserves a variety of fruits or some vegetables, like carrots or ginger, in sugar or syrup. The high sugar content prevents bacterial growth, which then allows you to store food for longer periods.
Sugaring is ideal for for fruits and produces delicious sweet treats that everyone can enjoy even in emergencies. Use sugaring to turn leftover summer fruits into jam.
Where to buy lab-verified food for your stockpile

Ranging from red to dark brown, "aka miso" or red miso is made from organic soybeans fermented with organic rice, though with a higher concentration of organic soybeans and a longer fermentation period than yellow miso.
Red miso is high in protein and best complements most meaty vegetables, such as eggplants and mushrooms. The deep umami flavor of red miso is perfect for braises, hearty soups, marinades, stews, gravies and glazes.
Health Ranger Select Organic Freeze-Dried Red Miso Powder has a stronger flavor than yellow miso. We recommend using it sparingly so as not to overpower milder ingredients in your dish.

The miso is then carefully freeze-dried to extend its shelf life and preserve its freshness and nutritional quality.
