1 Ready, Set, Go! - 24 Weeks of Crisis Supply Procurement (This originally appeared on my old blog ( If it is to be, it is up to me. William H. Johnsen To get started: Check your house for supplies that you already have on hand (Needs & Acquire Lists) Decide where you will store your supplies Meet with your household to discuss your procurement and crisis plans Explain how to prepare; when and how to respond Discuss what to do if you need to evacuate or leave your primary crisis retreat or how to get to your primary crisis retreat. Plan your routes, rendezvous spots and secret signals. Discuss and plan for vacations and household outings that will allow you to learn a new skill like: milking a cow or goat; making cheese; map & compass; spinning & weaving; trapping & snares; soap & candle making and the like. Have drills and practice your plan (at least once every 3 months) and make sure to include bugout scenarios. Think multi-functional and light weight and small for your Go-Bags. Supplies may be stored all together in a large plastic garbage can or food may be kept on kitchen shelves (anyplace cool, dry, insect & rodent proof). Food grade plastic and Mylar liners can be used to turn any container into a food container. Remember to rotate your food storage supplies and change out your water storage about every six months. Select foods based on your household s usual meals, needs and preferences. If your household eats a lot of tuna salad, think what you need to make this: Mayo, onion, celery, etc. Pick low-salt, waterpacked varieties when possible. Canned meats may include tuna, chicken, raviolis, chili, stew, Spam, corned beef and the like. For condiments think dehydrated and freeze dried like: milk, sour cream, cheese, peanut butter, mayo, eggs, gravy mix, etc. And don t forget your spices! Note: One small can of unsweetened evaporated milk to one quart of powdered milk will produce a quart of milk with the texture and taste of 2% milk. Gelatin, unflavored and un-colored can be used in recipes in place of eggs. If you have extra funds available each week, use it to get another of your specialty items like dehydrated meats, vegetables and fruits; compass, Leatherman Tool, GI can opener, commando pocket saw, gardening stuff and the like. If you can or dehydrate your own items all the better! Note: Avoid getting all mixed fruits, vegetables and meat entrées these are less flexible and you will get bored with them. It is better to get single items that let you make your own soups, stews, goulashes and treats. Remember the miracle multi-use inventions of: Duct Tape; Super Glue, Velcro (roll of); Miracle shammie fabrics and Space Bags. 1 P a g e

2 All items in the following calendar are for one adult. You will need to increase the quantities to account for other members of your household/group.
