Are You Prepared ?

In the days that we live in especially, it is a very, very good idea to always have emergency supplies on hand.  You never know when an unexpected emergency will arise.  Power outages, ice storms, snow storms, gas leaks, tornados, earthquakes, floods, terrorist attacks, economic collapse, civil unrest, etc.

Warning About Costco Emergency Food Containers!  ...  This Costco Nutri-storage Emergency Food Supply — "Three month food supply for one person", Item # 104893, for $109.99 — is a FRAUD. You will STARVE TO DEATH if you try to survive on the contents of this for 3 months. I purchased this myself. Then I thought it was strange that 25 pounds, 2 ounces (that is about 11.4 kilos) of food could sustain someone for three entire months. That is only about 4.4 ounces or 127 grams of food per day. It can't possibly have very many calories. So I opened the bucket, and counted the number of packets of each item. Then I used 5 servings per packet, and took the nutritional information for each item from the bucket. I put all of this into an Excel spreadsheet and came up with totals from the entire bucket, and what you would get on average per day. The entire contents of the bucket would include 275 servings, which is 91-2/3 days at 3 servings per day. The entire bucket contains 41,715 calories and 1,660 grams of protein. The average daily nutritional value would be 455 calories and 18 grams of protein. To put things in perspective, the Nazis provided concentration camp inmates at Auschwitz with a diet of 1,300 calories per day for light work prisoners and 1,700 calories for hard labor. The average prisoner at Auschwitz died of starvation within three months on this diet. Of the many millions murdered by the Nazis at Auschwitz, probably just as many died from the effects of starvation as perished in the infamous gas chambers. There is no way anyone can survive for long on 455 calories and 18 grams of protein per day. That is less than one-third of the starvation diet that the Nazis provided at Auschwitz. You will almost certainly be DEAD from STARVATION before you finish the alleged "three month" supply.
 


Other things to have on hand:  Bottled water, water filters, pet food, hand sanitizer, garbage bags, paper towels, paper/plastic plates, cups, utensils, napkins, wipes, kleenex, toilet tissue, flash lights and extra batteries, first aid kit, extra medications etc.  Make a list and check it twice and start planning!
