The LDS (which stands for "Latter Day Saints") plan is the foundation of many other plans. It is a good one. Might as well stop searchin now, and follow it. This is the complete Mormon food storage plan!
Here Is That, Which You Will Discover, ON THIS PAGE:
HERE IS THE PLAN FOR LONG TERM MORMON LDS EMERGENCY FOOD STORAGE LDS
If you like budget food storage, LDS methods show, to you, how to use the foods, that you are already eatin, each week. This is the key to the Mormon survival list.
THE FOOD STORAGE LDS PLAN IS SEQUENTIAL, NOT SUDDEN. HERE IS HOW YOU BEGIN THE COMPLETE MORMON SURVIVAL FOOD LIST:
LDS Food Supply System: The first thin, about Mormons food storage LDS temple recommends, is that you do not go into debt to get a big supply of food stored. They also recommend that you accumulate a supply of emergency money, too.
1.Begin Slowly To Garner Your 3-Month Food Supply. Each week, buy a few extras of your everyday groceries.
Keep buyin extras each week, until you have enough extra stuff to last a whole week. Then do the same thin again and again, until you have enough food to last for 3 months.
Whenever you eat, eat the oldest food first. If there is not a date stamped on the package, then write a date on it with an ineradicable marker.
At this stage, you are not buyin freeze dried food, nor bulk food, unless that is what you ordinarily have been eatin.
.
LDS ADVICE ON WATER STORAGE
The Mormon system advises you to begin to store water right away.
The first choice is factory-sealed water in PETE bottles, also known as PET plastic. They recommend buyin water in no other type of plastic, exceptin PETE, which is called polyethylene terephthalate. It will be marked on the bottle, often with this logo:
PACKIN WATER YOURSELF
The Mormon system gives to you helpful guidelines, if you plan to pack your water, and not only to buy it already packed.
Bottles, buckets, and jars ought to rank for food storage.
If the water is in a small bottle or jar, it should be made of PETE (explained here).
If it is a bucket, barrel, or drum, then it should be of thick plastic.
Bottles, that were erst used for juice or soda pop,
may be used, if they are of PETE (explained here), and if they have a rubber
seal in the caps.

WATER STORAGE CONTAINERS NOT TO BE USED
Plastic milk bottles eventually come brittle and would be riven. The seals in the caps are mediocre.
Containers (holders), that erst held non-food, are to be shunned for water storage.
If your water is not already chlorinated, the Mormons recommend that you add chlorine, before you pack your water.
Use unscented chlorine bleach, such as you find at the mass market stores. The concentration in the storeboughten product ought to be 5% - 6% sodium hypochlorite. Use 1/8 teaspoon of liquid bleach to every gallon of water. That will be the same as about 8 drops of bleach. 4 liters are about the same as a gallon.
Be sure that your bleach has no fragrance, thickener, nor additive.
YOUR STASH OF MONEY
Next, in the Mormon system, you are to slowly begin to save a hoard of money.
NEXT: A 1-YEAR'S SUPPLY
Ultimately, the LDS system recommends 1-year supply of food as a minimum goal. Partly this will be comprised of foods that you like, with a shorter shelf-life, that you will rotate after a few months or a few years. To calculate the amounts that you will need, and to manage your shoppin list, you can get the free Deyo software at this link: Long Term Food Storage.
Also, you will have enough of the Mormon "basic 4 foods" to last for 1 year. These are described in the next section.

"CHECK OUT THIS AWESOME DRY PACK CANNER -- NEEDS NO ELECTRICITY...
...FITS ALL YOUR FAMILY'S EMERGENCY SURVIVAL NEEDS!
They are fabricated of chemicaux. Iron oxide powder is the active ingredient.
They are totally safe. They are not to be eaten, yet they are harmless. They do not cause noxious gases to be made. The oxygen does not hurt the fresh aroma and savor of the food.
When the packin and sealin are right, the absorbers brin down the level of oxygen level to .01% or less.
"The shelf-life is 1 year after sealed packet is made. When you open them, you must use them all within 10-15 minutes afterwards, as they straightway begin to use up oxygen, unless they be quickly 'resealed' in their same bag, or else in a mylar bag. I read that ziplock bags won't protect the shelf-life of packets."
How Will Oxygen Absorbers For Food Storage Benefit You?
They increase the shelf-life of food.
They forfend the growin of aerobic germs and molds.
They allow you to avoid additives of the ilk of sulfur dioxide, benzoates, BHA, sorbates, and BHT.
When you use them with vacuum packin or gas flushin, then they bind virtually all oxygen which may be throughout the package.
The preserve polyunsaturated oils, alon with fats.
They help to keep the freshly roasted flavor of nuts and coffee.
They forfend oxidation of oleoresins in spices, and also in foods that have spices.
They forfend oxidation of vitamins E, C, and A.
They lenthen the life of drugs.
They forestall the growin of mold in fermented dairy products, such as cheese or yoghurt.
They forestall non-enzymatic brownin of some vegetables, and of fruits.
They lessen condensation and oxidation of red color of most sauces and berries.
"My wife so loves our pets, that she, for them, makes treats, of dried jerky. She packs them in 8" X 4" bags of plastic. The oxygen absorbers keep them fresh and forfend any growth of mold. I order more thereof."
"At times, some of my dried foods spoiled owin to dampness gettin in the jars, that were supposedly airtight.
"Water is one part oxygen and two parts hydrogen, so dampness can't form if one element is wantin. Therefore oxygen absorbers. I've had nary a failure since I took to usin them."
Oxygen Absorbers For Food Storage To Be Used In Smaller Lots - 20 Cans
60 - 300cc Oxygen Absorbers in Bags of 20 for Long Term Food Storage
Comes in easy to use bags of 20 for a total of 60 Aborbers
Each Bag Has a Freshness Pill
Total of 60 300cc Oxygen Absorbers
Use One Per 10"x14" Mylar Bag
Use One Per #10 Size Can
"These packs are a bit smaller than the usual absorbers I get, which isn't a bad thing, because I can fit them in the jars easily."
"I love how they come in three individual packs. I have lost a lot of absorbers because I have to open them up often, which makes them go bad fast. I don't have to worry about that anymore. Each pack comes with the little freshness pill, and a little sheet of paper that indicates their freshness."
"I will be back for these. This store also ships very fast, which was great since I was needing them quickly."
"I recommend these to anyone!"
"These arrived in good shape, intact and not used. Packaging is ideal since once you open you have to use what is there. Would definitely purchase these again!"
"Too many absorbers are wasted due to over exposure when people buy the large 50 - 100 absorber bags that are offered by my competitors."
"In comparison, these absorbers are packed in bags of 20 and thus are much more manageable to use, and they come with a freshness pill in EACH pack so that there is no question as to the quality and freshness of these absorbers. This lot is for 3 bags of 20 for a total of 60 300cc Oxygen Absorbers."
"Only for long term storage of food have I used them. Each bag, wherein I have put them, looks to be satisfactory. I got them rapidly. Theywere vaccuum-sealed in their own bag."
"I had possession of the absorbers for a month before I finally put them to use. All the jars I used them in sealed with no issues. I'm gettin more thereof. Rapid service and awesome product."
"I read the package wronly. I thought I was gettin the bigger ones. I just have to use more thereof that's all. However, be sure you want this size, else you'll end up buyin more."
"I went to the OxyFree's website where they list the 100cc sachets in 100-count packages.
"My shipment from THIS vendor had, in it, a tag which showed the 504A SKU number tild of on OxyFree's website. It had also a QC number. This all appeared to be evidence of a for-real product and description. Moreover, the whole seal was uniform, around the plastic bag.
"It seems to be verified, that the 100-count bags were sealed by OxyFree, themselves. For that reason, I have more confidence in them."
LDS authorities don't have much to say about whether or how to put together or get a 72 hour kit. The idea seems to be, get your food, water, and money together first, for 1 year, then decide for yourself, if you want anythin else.
If you think you are ready to get a 72 hour
kit, then I recommend that you order this one right away (image below). It
is the award-winnin kit, that was recommended on CNN! Order yours

Here are some resources, for those, of you, who are interested in food storage. LDS doctrine is secret, at the "temple" level, and different from, and contradictory the "church" level doctrine.
The differences have been kept hidden from "church" Mormons. As the "temple mormons" have had the command, we are to be canny about stayin aloof from their organization, their cosmos.
Here's the Mormon emergency food system: your best bet, for emergency preparedness, and disaster survival, is not food storage. LDS , many of them, think so. I would call it your 2nd or 3rd or 4th best, with Knowledge bein your first.

MYLAR FOOD STORAGE BAGS - MYLAR BAGS FOOD STORAGE
For shorter storage time, some folks seal food into mylar bags, with oxygen absorbers. For longer stowage, first put the food into the bags, then put the bags into either 2-gallon buckets, or 5-gallon buckets (click link to see below).
Here are some ideas, that folks have suggested, for usin mylar food storage bags:
"I use 1 Gallon Mylar bags; fill each with a set of various ingredients, because I am only cooking for four people. I would rather not have ten or fifteen buckets open at once to make a single meal.
"In the first five buckets I have: beans, red winter wheat, corn, rice, a pound of green coffee beans, and steel cut oats placed in individual Mylar bags with absorbers for oxygen."
"I used gallon Mylar bags that I got from a Mormon cannery, they are thick, but I was able to separate them in half and put them together with my hair straightener. This gave me smaller containers for the pound of coffee beans that needed to be in smaller bags."
"I thought about filling the Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers, packing them in metal garbage feed barrels and sealing them because it is a better shield against rodents. I will try this method with dog food first."
2 GALLON BUCKETS
Two gallon buckets are better for a car, but 5 gallon buckets are best for home storage. Two gallon buckets will allow for longer freshness, unless you are feedin a crowd of people.
Always use MYLAR BAGS with OXYGEN ABSORBERS with your 2-gallon buckets, exceptin for sugar and salt. Click the link to find out more about them, or to order yours.
Here are suggestion, for packin your 2-gallon buckets:
"I want to fix breakfast burritos, so I have to have powdered eggs, cheese, Tortilla mix, and peppers. The mix is made from cornmeal, so I can store it for a long time. I keep several items in the smaller 2 gallon buckets because of that."
"I might make a breakfast bucket, one for snacks, and one for lunch or dinner.
"I have a bucket with chicken bouillon, noodles, beef bouillon, dried vegetables, and tomato powder.
"I have a bucket with lentils, 9 bean mix, barley, split peas, and dried onion.
"You might want to store instant Tortilla mix also, some are only corneal and lime. All you have to do is add water, salt, and mix."
"I opened a bucket of Basmati rice and after, I sealed a new bucket of rice to replace the one I opened with a regular lid, and I put a gamma lid on the bucket I opened so it was easy to open and close until I use it all."
5 GALLON BUCKETS
Always use MYLAR BAGS with OXYGEN ABSORBERS with your 5-gallon buckets, exceptin for sugar and salt. Click the link to find out more about them, or to order yours.
Here are suggestion, for packin your 5-gallon buckets:
"I am only storin food for four people right now, and I have started thinkin about when I will use them since I am storin in 5 gallon buckets.
"Crackin" a seal on a 5 gallon bucket of rice, beans, or wheat, will not cause it to spoil in a week of a few months." [... in contrast with puttin each item into a separate bucket. However, in 2-gallon buckets the amounts would be more manageable.]
"The next 5 gallon buckets have salt, garlic powder, sugar, brown sugar, black pepper. I leave the oxygen absorbers out of the salt and sugar."
"The next 5 gallon buckets have powdered milk, powdered eggs, bakin soda, dark bakin cocoa, and cream of tartar.
"The next 5 gallon buckets will have various spices.
"The other 5 gallon buckets will have different types of drink mixes like coffee and tea."
"I only have 3 or 4 buckets open at a time since they have five different types of items and various ingredients to choose from.
"For spices, put a tiny amount in each bucket, or think about filling each bucket with a week’s worth of food, that way you only use a bucket a week and you know exactly how much you have left.
