Exactly What Does a Basic One Year Food Storage for 1 Person Look Like?
These are the Minimum Basic Amounts of Food Needed for Survival for ONE PERSON for ONE YEAR:
BARE-MINIMUM LDS Church Food storage for 1 adult male for 1 year Approximatly. 2,300 calories per day/ (storing only 695lbs total). All food can be bought at a grocery store.
When measured out the amounts to show what you would get per day, per person it was impressive. All those ingredients and by adding yeast (which we know is not on the basic list – but hopefully you have stored), we were able to make one loaf of bread and 1/3 cup of beans. That would be your food for the entire day. Don't FORGET water storage!!!
