I've wanted to start prepping for a while for foreseeable food shortages - weather, supply chain disruption etc.
The stumbling block is that we mostly eat fresh fruit, veg, fish and wholefoods and don't each much in the way of tinned or frozen produce or things like sweets or chocolate bars which would obviously would be good for long shelf-life/ energy/a treat. So I've not really got very far with prepping.
I'm coming to the conclusion that probably I should stock up with tins etc on the basis that in a crisis we'd suck it up and eat them. But then what do I do with all the tins I don't use?
Current thinking is maybe every six months (and well before sell by dates) I donate the whole lot to a food bank and start again
What do others do to deal with the difference between what they eat and what stores well please? Does that sound like a viable solution? Ideas very welcome.
