Back in the day we had a stash of 'flu food' inspired by the fear of SARS and swine flu worries years ago. We've moved house since then and we don't have any emergency stash anymore.
We have a little bit of space under the stairs that isn't being used so thought I'd put some things aside. I'd love some advice on what I should be storing.
To buy:
Candles
Matches and lighters
Bottled water
Tins of beans
Tinned potatoes
Tinned carrots
Tinned spaghetti
Chocolate bars
I've chosen those because all can be eaten hot or cold if needed, so if no power we wouldn't starve but would have some protein and carbs, plus the potatoes and carrots come in water.
Also considering :
Water purification tablets
Wind up radio (what should that be tuned to in an emergency?)
Wind up phone charger
First aid kit
Where do you look to buy these?
If you had £100 to spend on prepping (not including the food stash) what would you buy?
