The Mormon 4 is usually the basis of most long term food storage
plans. However, the food storage plan used by most survivalists
is determined by what problems they expect to encounter. An economic
survivalist might have a one or two month supply of rotated continuously
canned goods. A social decline survivalist might have a mix of
grains, freeze dried, air dried, canned goods, and seeds to supplement
available food supplies during times of trouble. A nuclear war
survivalist might have a five year supply of the Mormon 4 plus
nitrogen packed seeds freeze dried, sophisticated water purifiers,
and other supplies.
The ideal diet in terms of amino acid balance is meat. You can get the correct amino acid balance from grains most easily by making "Cornell" bread. For any bread recipe, make this change:
- For each cup of wheat flour substitute:
- 1 tablespoon of soy flour
- 1 tablespoon of non-fat dry milk
- 1 teaspoon of wheat germ
- Fill the balance of the cup with wheat flour
For more information on Cornell bread read THE CORNELL BREAD BOOK.
Another food plan covers one year with bare essentials. These are suggested basics only. You can build, add to or alter to suit personal taste. Many folks want guidelines for "how much". That is the intention of this plan.

* Soybeans have a high oil content, check every 12 months and keep cool.
** Should be replaced every 12 to 18 months.
*** Substitute Olive Oil if preferred. Check every 12 months.
**** Should your stored honey crystallize, not only is it good to eat in this form, it can be reliquified by placing the containing in hot water.
This now gives you a variety of food plans to use. Are you ready
to look at First Aid?
