100 Survival Items To Help Keep A Sense of Normality and Sanity After the Collapse

Even a large list like this only scratches the surface of what a fully prepared person will have on hand, but you can start to get an idea of what is required. Compare the list here to your own stocks, mix and match based on your own unique needs, and let us know if this was helpful to you!

There is still time for you to prepare, but you have to start learning how to make your own survival foods as soon as humanly possible.

The best way to do it is to get the inside scoop on how to do it right. Fortunately, there is a way to get twenty years worth of The Lost Ways. This new food storage system is called The Lost Ways.

You do not need a lot of expensive equipment to store foods for a crisis using the methods taught here.

Even better, The Lost Ways pays for itself quickly as you begin to put away garden produce or even meats that you buy on sale.

For most folks it’s simply the biggest bargain of their lives. You can finally become self-sufficient and any extra money saved in food expense goes right back to your pocket.

Frankly, at the end of the day, The Lost Ways actually makes you money!

What’s more, the videos take you by the hand, step by step, through the entire process of “putting away” almost any food you can think of.

It’s very much like having a food storage professional right there with you every step of the way.
