Eight guides. Written plainly. Free to read.
How much is enough · Where it actually goes · What it really costs
What to store and where to keep it
How much food does a household actually need
The calorie maths, the child multipliers, and why “stock up” without a number isn’t advice.
Storage without a bunker
A shoebox, a shelf, a whole cupboard, under the bed. What fits where, with real volume estimates.
Gear worth having
The kit that earns its place: sealing, shelving, fire safety. What costs almost nothing and what to skip.
What it takes to cook it · What to do when it does
Using it and getting through it
Power out: what changes in the kitchen
Which foods still work, which need cooking, and the eat-from-the-tin items that need nothing at all.
Car kit
What to keep in the car, why it’s a different list from the house, and what costs almost nothing.
If things get really bad
Neighbours, official help, community resilience. What to do today, not later.
When it’s over: food safety after a disruption
What to keep, what to throw away, what the FSA actually says about thawed food.
What we deliberately leave out
The things this site doesn’t cover, and where to find them if you need them.
