[QUOTE="Mike_60, post: 2116677, member: 16957"] That might be possible but a 5 Gal bucket is only going to hold 35-40 pounds of dry goods +/- some depending on what it is. In a bulk sense, one pound of dry goods should double in weight when wet. But that will leave you only with around a pound per person per day, which would be starvation rations. It'll keep you alive, but without supplementing it with foraging don't expect much else. The good news is that dry goods are cheap to buy and store right now and a little every payday goes a long ways. Most importantly though, is that [B]you have a plan and are doing something about it[/B]. I'm glad you're trying to prepare for your family, but please don't get discouraged because everything will come in time. As you store up goods you'll better learn what you want and how to take care of it. Speaking of myself, our plans have evolved over the years and still do to this very day (we packed up a few bags of stuff today), and I'm sure your plans will evolve too. Don't get discouraged, just keep moving in the right direction because nobody is going to do it for you - but you. :thumb: BTW, +1 on BB's post. [/QUOTE]
