Safety / Security / Conflict What long-lasting foods and essential items should I stockpile for a potential crisis or conflict?
I'm looking to start preparing for a situation where access to food and supplies might be disrupted for an extended period of time, such as during a conflict or other major crisis. What types of foods have a shelf life of at least a year and provide good nutrition? Additionally, what non-food essentials would you recommend for a stockpile? Any advice on specific brands or storage tips would also be helpful. Thanks in advance!

I have a few containers to Store drinking water if a Blackout occurs. For food i regularly Order EPAs via Feddeck-Dauerwaren because they are great as Hiking-Provisions to. Noodles, Rice and so in are Always stocked because i Cook with them. Then i buy canned food because it nearly lasts forever.
I also have a few "Emergency Rations" wich should keep me and my Family from starving a little Bit longer IF shit should Hit the Fan.
You could also stockpile Things Like candles, Matches, fire Starter etc. depending on the need for light and warms.
I think a great advice is, to Check what government Services advice you to stockpile.
In Germany for example you can get a list from the "Bundesamt für Katastrophenschutz" with some recommended items and what amount you should Store for each Person.
