Food is a must have during a zombie apocalypse or any emergency. While I keep a good supply of canned goods in the pantry, I've also made several purchases of food from 4Patriots. It lasts longer and, get this, it's tasty. That's a win-win in my book...

A great supplement to your other survival food supplies is to stock up on canned goods. I have a hall closet with a good stash. Just remember, they only last a few years so keep them in your food rotation.

It's wise to stock up on lots of water in case of an emergency. You'll need some for drinking and cooking. Remember that bottled water is good for a few years. Be sure to keep it in your rotation.
