When a disaster strikes, having extra food and water can be lifesaving. We break down the basics of starting a nonperishable pantry. nyti.ms/47xNW2i

Why assume you have electricity? All emergency foodstuffs will have to be cold. And water bottled, but not from a fridge obviously.

What on the list requires electricity? I can do any of these with my camp stove.

Good for you having a camp stove. I read the article as telling people to make coffee, heat up food, all of which means access to electricity. Was I wrong?

Have you ever had a power outage? How did you make coffee/food?
aug 18, 2025, 11:08 pm • 0 0 • view
Yes but thankfully not for long. If there was a sustained outage then I have tinned fish, fruit, crackers and bottled water. No coffee!

I’ve been through numerous power outages in several places I’ve lived - one was almost two weeks. Most of the neighborhood had camp or backpacking stoves, or grills, or boy scouts who can make an outdoor oven. Those who didn’t plan were generously assisted by those who did.

That sounds good. And you, like your neighbourhood sound prepared. Don't think many city dwellers in New York etc would be? Different mind set/way of living.

You can use fire to heat water and make coffee like our ancestors did before electricity.

You can indeed. But if I did that where I live in an English suburb our Fire Brigade would turn up!

Well, I don’t know what to tell you. But the way to do all that shit without electricity is to use fire so if it’s a matter of survival now, you know..

I was in the Girl Guides, so I'm fine with making a fire. Just have to choose the right spot. And that wouldn't be now. Everywhere is tinder dry so........ the Fire Brigade might turn up again!

Serious suggestion: if you decide you need to set yourself up to survive for days or weeks on what you have stored, & you have a friend or relative who is a member of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons), ask them how to do it.

I’ve noticed that ever since trump was elected that more people are stocking up on survival food and other supplies. Is it a bipartisan opinion that republicans are leading America into a life altering disaster?

Disaster? Looks like a tough weekend. What about a week, month, year, and forever broken supply chains? Short term thinking is almost cute, but without long term recocognition of overshoot and climate collapse, it seems the NYT sells us all out with the sweet little larder drawing.

TIP on food storage: Organize food by expiration date so you are keeping it all - even canned food - as current as possible. IF items are coming up on expiration you can even donate some things to a local food shelf. Also, having a food dryer is pretty slick for fruit and veggies.

Why you all making instant coffee? If you can boil water for instant coffee, you can boil water for A pour over. My idea of emergency preparation is making sure I have a quality hand grinder.

A French press also works. Just need hot water and ground coffee.
