Store Food Medium Term (6-12 months)

Having long to medium-term food reserves can be a tricky subject for those of us who grew up relying on a refrigerator and mom going grocery shopping every week, or Dominos *cough* Pizza.

Important Documents

If an emergency forces you and your family to leave your home for a while, you may need some important documents like passports, insurance paperwork, social security and birth certificates, home title, recent bank statements, cash, and more.

You can keep these items in a safe and make sure they are part of your grab in the case of a bug out.
