If you live anywhere near the Georgia Strait—perhaps the lower mainland of BC or on the southern end of Vancouver Island—you probably felt the earthquake late on the evening of December 29th. Maybe you were asleep and you woke up in confusion, unable to fall back asleep afterwards. Or maybe you were still enjoying your holidays, out with friends, and after the initial shock of the quake, you got into a deep discussion about each of your levels of preparedness and what you’d have done if that earthquake had been the big one.
If you did indeed get into one of those conversations, what did you say?
Since the quake—in the last couple of months—have you made further emergency preparations?
If you have, kudos to you! Hopefully, you’ve at least stocked up enough water to get your household through two weeks of self-sufficiency because it’s all too likely that an earthquake will shut down or damage the water system. Without water, humans can survive for about three days so it really should be the first step in preparations.
The next step is food. You may have cans of food at the back of your pantry that could last seemingly forever, but chances are that they’re heavy, take up a lot of space and won’t actually last as long as is necessary. That’s where Legacy Foods comes in. If you’re interested in a long term food supply, we invite you to our sister site, Total Prepare, to check it out.
Here are a few good reasons to add Legacy Foods freeze dried food to your supply:
- It’s 100% GMO Free.
- It has a 25 year shelf life.
- It contains no added MSG.
- There are certified gluten free options
- They pack in as many good quality calories as possible!
So if you’ve checked off your water preparations, have a look at our freeze dried food options—perhaps starting your collection with our 120 Combo Bucket.
Just by doing your research, you’re taking the first step towards potentially saving the life of your future self, and the lives of family and friends too! So remember to check back often for updates, sales, and more tips on how you can get prepared.
