When you become a prepper, one of your main goals is to ensure that your family has enough supplies to get through a long-term emergency scenario, like a power outage that lasts several days or weeks or a global pandemic that disrupts normal life.
This means stocking up on food with a long shelf life, like grains and canned goods.
Your survival stockpile should also include enough water for cleaning, cooking and drinking, along with beverages like coffee, coconut water and milk to ensure that you stay hydrated. (h/t to IdyllicPursuit.com)
Consider these important factors when choosing survival food and beverages to stock up on:
By considering these factors, you can ensure that you have a well-rounded and sustainable food and beverage supply when SHTF.
Staying hydrated is important, especially in survival situations. While certain foods, like fruits or vegetables, can provide some of the water that your body needs, it's not enough to keep you hydrated when SHTF.
That's why it's important to have water and other beverages in your survival stockpile.
Water: A survival essential
Water is crucial for your survival stockpile. You don't just need water for cooking and drinking, you also need to have enough for cleaning and other tasks.
Make sure that you have enough water in your stockpile by storing at least one gallon of water per person per day for both drinking and sanitation purposes. You also need to stock up on water for any pets that you have.
Tea and coffee
Aside from clean drinking water, having some comfort drinks like coffee and tea can provide a morale boost in survival situations. These beverages can help provide a sense of normalcy and comfort, and they also offer some benefits.
For example, coffee provides essential calories for energy and sustenance.
To keep your tea and coffee fresh and flavorful for a long time, store them in airtight containers in a cool, dark area in your stockroom.
Other survival beverage options include coconut water or coconut milk and non-fat milk powder. (Related: HRS SOLUTIONS: Stock up on organic non-fat milk powder, a long-lasting source of essential nutrients.)

The Health Ranger Store also offers Organic Non-Fat Milk Powder, an excellent alternative to store-bought organic milk because it gives the milk a much longer shelf life and portability.
