First Preps, Part 1: Water & Food

April 9, 2026 by Dave

If a major storm hits tonight and knocks out power for a couple weeks or rioting makes traveling a no-go, your empty refrigerator and bare pantry make you a liability. You need an emergency food and water supply that requires zero refrigeration, last for months, and cooks with almost zero effort.

I’ve lived through multiple multi-week grid failures. This is exactly what I encourage you to keep on hand for any multi day event that makes acquiring food and water impossible. Buy this today to ensure that your food and water is at least minimally covered.

Shopping List

  • 10 large boxes of Minute Rice
  • 36 cans of soup
  • 8 boxes of Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal
  • 20 cases of bottled water (40-count each)
  • 1 GSI Outdoors Glacier Camp Stove (or equivalent)
  • 6 Jetboil JetPower Fuel Canisters (or equivalent)

The 5-10 Minute Execution

  • Breakfast: Boil water on the camp stove. Mix into oatmeal.
  • Lunch/Dinner: Make Minute Rice then add in soup. Heat to your liking.

Your Next Step

Everything here is available at your local grocery and outdoor stores or simply order everything on Amazon. Once you reach this basic preparedness milestone you will be prepared better than 90% of the people in the United States.
