The Pros and Cons of Emergency Food Buckets

• Organic Prepper - Daisy Luther

Are you in a hurry to build an emergency pantry? Emergency food buckets can be an essential part of a prepper's pantry. Like everything else, there are pros and cons to stockpiling emergency food buckets.

Notice I didn't say "the least expensive way" to build a prepper's pantry. Buckets are definitely not the thriftiest way to create a stockpile. I also didn't say "the healthiest way" to build a prepper's pantry. There are all sorts of methods that will net you more nutritious foods.

Despite all of the drawbacks, I still recommend emergency food buckets. They have some unique benefits that can't be overstated.

Here's why emergency food buckets are useful.

Please understand that emergency food buckets, while vital, should not be the entirety of your food storage or your everyday diet. They are only part of the picture of a perfect pantry.

That being said, here's why every prepper should have some emergency food buckets stashed away:

A lot of calories can be condensed into a very small amount of space.

 If you have the capability to boil water during an emergency, a filling meal can be yours.

 They add variety and speed to an emergency food supply.

 Calorie for calorie, they're lightweight and easily portable in the event of a bug-out scenario.

 They're professionally packaged to have a 25-year shelf life, so you can get them, stick them in the back of your closet, and forget about them until you need them. It's difficult to find any other food sources that will last this long.

You can use emergency food not only as is, for a hot, satisfying meal, but you can also combine it with other pantry items or leftovers to extend them far enough to feed a group. Don't hesitate to get creative!
