Also called a Pantry Kit, this is your stockpile of stuff to chill at home while trouble blows over - usually a good idea to plan for a week or two. Depending on where you live, this could be your snowed-in supply cache, hurricane holdover, locust layaway, etc. But no matter where you live, it's a good plan to have at least a few days food, water, and other essentials stocked up in the homestead.
Some basic rules of thumb, until we get to the Gear Manifest:
- 1 Gallon of water per day, per person. Don't skimp on the water!
