Store Food and Water for the Zombie Apocalypse

Zombies Evaluate Earthquake Damage

Zombie apocalypse has often been used as a metaphor for any type of unknown disaster you may experience. When zombie apocalypse is mentioned may scoff or look sideways at the idea but it is important to be ready and have some sort of plan for any eventuality which may occur. These day catastrophe is almost daily in the news from a Hurricane Sandy or Katrina to a potential financial meltdown and civil unrest. Even a crazed shooter in a school or theater is an event you can be prepared to survive.

Most people are about nine meals away from mental meltdown. That's how much food the average family has in their home. The first thing that sells out in stores whenever there is any type of emergency is food and water. If you are prepared you will not have to fight panicking crowds as many did during Hurricane Sandy and possibly come up empty handed. Store shelves can empty in a few hours during a crisis. Make sure you have enough food and water for your family in case there is any type of disaster. Most importantly, make sure it is food that is going to go the distance and prevent food fatigue at the same time.

Have you thought about doing a garden? This is easier than it seems and can even be done if you live in an apartment or in an urban setting with some of the hydroponic or aquaponic setups that you can purchase or even learn how to build yourself with less difficulty and expense than you might think. Food you grow yourself is much healthier than food purchased in the store and you always know exactly where its been and who's handled it. Your sense of accomplishment and self reliance will also grow by leaps and bounds with every small step you take. Do you know which wild plants are edible in your own back yard? If you are like most people, you are weeding them out of your yard and garden and throwing them away.

Food Storage Shelves

Most survival suggestions you find will tell you to have three days worth of food and  water for each member of your family and that is a great place to start, but ideally you will want to have more than that. If you noticed the Hurricane Sandy disaster, people were without utilities for more than eleven days, the stores were either destroyed or sold out and restaurants were certainly not operational. That is a great example how having more than three days worth of food and water for each person can be a smart thing to do. But, starting with a three day supply and working up to more is certainly better than not doing anything.

If you live in an apartment, or small area, you might have to get creative with storing food. Using under the bed areas or even dresser drawers dedicated to food storage can help. You might also want to consider keeping some food supplies in the trunk of your car in a plastic container that won’t melt or be destroyed by the elements.

You can learn more about food and water storage, such as how to prevent food fatigue, what amounts of water is appropriate per person per day and other survival facts in the Zombie Attack Survival Course. This course teaches everything you need to keep your family healthy and protected in any type of emergency or natural or man-made disaster. It not only talks about short term disasters which have become all too commonplace, but also tells you what you need to know to make sure your family stays safe and well through the long haul.
