RE: The Thirty Day SHTF Test Diet: Day 8
Damn, I forgot that. I just have a wee bag of it I hardly use.
Here's an article about the storage life of powered milk: "Learn How Long Powdered Milk Really Lasts." It says that non-fat (skim) will ten years if stored in a root-cellar environment and if left unopened; at room temperature, four years. Once opened, about three months.
and there is always the question of bug-in vs bug-out...
OUT means carrying stores of food, water, and fuel
And therein's the trouble, unless you carry them out in advance.
Interestingly, a natural disaster is: a) "easiest" to bug-out from, in that there's usually advance warning; b) an SHTF-Lite event for which the government wants you to bug out.
natual disasters are usually going to be localized too, making them easier for FEMA to respond to...unless a series of them occurs in a row
i.e this past hurricane season
