thanks that's a big help! I have seen the calculators from LDS but not in excel format.

We based it off of the church recommendations when we first created it. Glad it could help!

Glad I found this - identical to one I made for my Ward back east about 10 years ago. My computer crashed and I lost it. Was not looking forward to making it again.

Cool. I've used spreadsheets business tracking but never considered using one for food. Very clever.

In addition to "stored water", we have a 15,000 gallon cistern that is fed from rainfall on the roof of our home. A rain gutter system from both sides of the roof is connected at a single junction, filtered, and then is directed into the cistern. A normal rainy season is more than adequate to re-supply whatever is to be used....

Unfortunately, we don't have one yet. We have it on our list of things to work on.

On our three month supply spreadsheet found under BabyStep 3, we have a bonus sheet for non-food items. Hopefully that helps a bit!

This is fantastic!!! Do you have any resources or links to "other" items to store in case of an incident? Wondering if there is the same sort of calculator for household necessities such as toilet paper, toothpaste, soap, laundry soap, first aid items, dog food, etc.....
BTW.... I LOVE THIS SITE! I have arranged for a local woman to instruct our 9.12 group on food storage. Your site and info within will be part of the presentation.... THANK YOU, Linda

Hi! I just love the worksheet!. I live in Argentina and here we use the metric system, so I've changed it into kilograms and litres... if anyone needs it, just let me know!

The recommendation is 1 gallon per person per day. Getting a full year supply is not very feasible. We recommend 2 week supply at a minimum.

Love your site. Next month I am launching a site called Preparedness Network which will feature the best prepardness resources and products. You have such good content that I would like to include your site. Do you pay an affiliate commission for the sale of your binder and other products? Would like to discuss this with you if interested.

Good luck with your business ventures. You are great. Love to chat with you sometime, about food storage, rotation and meal preparation. I am starting a website to share my idea. Not read for prime time.

I suggest that you also include information (or links to ) seed saving. If there is a "incident" in the future that interupts food supply, the people to survive will be the ones with Horticultural knowledge, not food knowledge (LDS notwithstanding).
Saving seeds has been an important tradition (and survival necessity) until the Post WWII generation. The under 30 crowd is very ignorant about saving and maintaining a strong seed base of grains, vegetables, fruits.
Additionaly, very few people know how to keep Bees, or alternative insects, to pollinate crops.
I am literate in both areas, and will never fear going hungry because of an incident.

Alissa, does your family eat cheese and yogurt, or do you use evaporated milk and condensed milk for cooking or baking? The extra dry milk powder can be used to make any of these. We aren't big milk drinkers but we do eat a lot of other dairy products.

I have the same question as Leigh. Do you have a 3 month supply and a 12 month supply (which is really a 15 month supply)? Also, can you just substitute lb for lb items on the worksheet that you don't use? For example, we don't use evaporated milk so can I just add the recommended amt (lbs) to the nonfat milk that I do use? I love the site and feel FANTASTIC because I am finally tackling my food storage!

Can I ask you for the download for the font you used on this page. I LOVE it, but don't have it installed on my computer. Mine is coming up in Ariel and I can't stand it. Silly I know, but that's my request. :) Thanks for all your hard work!!!
