6 Common stockpiling mistakes and how to avoid them
By HRS Editors // Sep 13, 2024

Having a food stockpile can be a lifesaver, especially if your family is dealing with a long-term survival scenario like a week-long power outage.

If you're currently building your food stockpile, here are some common stockpiling mistakes and how to avoid them. (h/t to UrbanSurvivalSite.com)

Not having a variety of foods

While beans, rice, flour, salt and sugar are pantry essentials, you need to have a variety of other foods in your stockpile to prevent food fatigue or meal boredom. Having a variety of delicious and nutrient-rich foods can also help ensure that your body doesn't struggle to adjust to your new survival diet.

Buy versatile ingredients that you can use for different dishes so your family feels satisfied with all meals even during emergencies.

Not eating the food in your stockpile

Before SHTF, try the foods in your stockpile. Better yet, don't buy items that no one in your family wants to eat to avoid wasting money on your preps.

Regularly eat the food in your stockpile while you rotate your supplies. You should also try cooking different dishes with the items in your stockpile to see which ones are ideal for survival scenarios.

Not having enough vitamins and supplements

Multivitamins will be even more important during emergencies.

Stressful situations, worrying about different threats and manual labor will take a lot of energy. Following a balanced diet and taking vitamin supplements can help you stay strong and healthy even after SHTF.

Not having enough water in your stockpile

You need clean water for drinking, cooking and cleaning so make sure you have enough in your stockpile for the whole family.

Make sure your water will last as long as your food. If you don't have enough room in your stockpile, learn about efficient ways to collect and purify water. (Related: Smart prepper tips: Stock up wisely for any situation.)

Relying only on your food stockpile

A food stockpile is an important part of your preps, but you shouldn't make it the center of your prepping.

To survive most emergencies, you also need to consider other preps such as:

  • Bug-out bags
  • Cooking implements
  • First aid supplies
  • Weapons

Food should be your first priority, but you shouldn't forget your other priorities.

Not prepping for your pets

Don't forget to stockpile supplies for your pets if you plan on bugging in when SHTF. They will also need clean water for drinking and bathing, along with pet food, treats and a pet first aid kit.

Where to get lab-verified supplies for your prepping needs

The Health Ranger Store is here to help you avoid common stockpiling mistakes as you prepare for emergencies.

That's why we're proud to introduce a variety of supplies for your stockpile, such as Freeze-Dried Organic Broccoli, Organic Goji Berries and Freeze-Dried Organic Whole Raspberries.

Shelf-stable Health Ranger Select Freeze-Dried Organic Broccoli boasts a unique mixture of nutrients and organic compounds that nourish the body. The nutritional profile of broccoli includes highly beneficial nutrients such as dietary fiber, flavonoids, phosphorus, potassium and vitamins A, B6, C and K.

The freeze drying process helps retain the essential nutrients while keeping the distinct taste of broccoli. The process also helps this shelf-stable broccoli store longer on your shelf.

This China-free broccoli has been certified organic and kosher, allowing you to better enjoy its powerful health benefits without worrying about chemical exposure. There are no pesticides, artificial preservatives or other dangerous toxins in this product. Steam, roast or saute broccoli and add it to your favorite dishes for that added boost of flavor and nutrition.

You can also try goji berries, which are the small, red berries produced by the Lycium barbarum plant. These nutrient-dense berries get their signature bright-red hue from their high levels of potent antioxidants.

The Health Ranger Store wants you to experience the incredible health-supporting properties of one of the world's most nutritious superfoods. That's why we're bringing you an ultra-clean new lot of Health Ranger Select Organic Goji Berries.

Carefully grown and harvested by trusted suppliers in the pristine regions of the Tibetan plateau, our ultra-clean goji berries undergo a natural drying process to preserve their original taste and nutrient content. This means that they contain no preservatives or artificial flavoring and are just as nutritious as fresh organic goji berries.

Health Ranger Select Organic Goji Berries contain no gluten or GMOs and are extensively lab-tested for glyphosate, heavy metals and microbiology. Our premium goji berries are also vegan, non-irradiated and certified organic.

Lastly, you can stock up on raspberries or "Nature’s candy." Raspberries are small, sweet, juicy and slightly tart superfruits that are produced by the Rubus idaeus plant.

We offer Health Ranger Select Freeze-Dried Organic Whole Raspberries, which are a tasty and healthy snack you can enjoy all year round. With their crispy texture and natural abundance of vitamins A and C, as well as other beneficial antioxidants and nutrients, our freeze-dried organic whole raspberries can add a burst of flavor and nutrition to all your favorite pancakes, muffins, pies, salads and baked goods.

They can even be eaten directly for a quick and healthy snack or rehydrated by soaking them in water.

Health Ranger Select Freeze-Dried Organic Whole Raspberries are carefully grown under strict organic standards by our trusted suppliers. The freeze-drying method preserves taste, texture and nutrients better than any other food preservation method.

Health Ranger Select Freeze-Dried Organic Whole Raspberries are non-GMO and have been meticulously lab tested for glyphosate, heavy metals and microbiology. Our premium whole raspberries are also non-China and are certified Kosher and organic.
