Survival & Preparedness System: Food & Water Storage

Food & water are two of the most basic and essential life sustaining items required to live. In any survival & preparedness system - food & water must be stockpiled in a large quantity. In most any serious emergency - grocery stores will be wiped out and food will be in short supply.
