How long could you survive without ANY store?

[Seedy]

Back when I was a conventional vegan, I kept a supply of emergency food that would allow me to survive in a disaster for a month. But after switching to a raw food diet I gave away my dried and canned beans, rice, etc. I've been doing some research online, and have found a source for nitrogen packed sprouting seeds and legumes, but still need a good source of dried nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables (I'm thinking freeze-dried would not be considered raw) that don't cost an arm and a leg. I suppose I could but small plastic packaged sunflower seeds, raisins, dried mango, etc., but I would worry about long term shelf-life. Any ideas would be appreciated.

What are you preparing for? Is there disaster in your area? I dunno... Brendan Brazier mentioned if there was a food shortage you could live on Vega Wholefood nutrition as long as you had water. It's powder and has a 2 year shelf life. Better than canned I think.

I have about 30 lbs of wheat berries - heard you can live on the wheatgrass!

generally keep 2-5 lbs worth of cashews, macadamias, and almonds on hand....

dried goji berries....

Flax and chia seeds.....sesame too.

need to get in more chlorella......:rolleyes:

have plenty of sprout seeds: alfalfa, clover, broccoli, mustard, fenugreek, mung.....

Fresh wholesome food in 3-5 days!


Now - what kind of disaster are we planning for?

Will there be running water and electricity? Or should we stock up on flax survival crackers????

All of the raw powders have a long shelf life, along with dried fruit, Olive & Coconut oil among other things. His isn't all raw so I'd rather use other products that are.
