It's interesting you mentioned storable food.
We looked into "storable" foods but found short-mid term options a whole lot more affordable. Having a 25 year shelf life sounds great but there is an enormous cost associated with it.
We took the the much cheaper route with dried stuff as you mentioned, but also included cereals, long term milk (including evaporated), lots of canned stuff, beans, chili, soup, granola bars, coffee, tea, etc.
Ultimately, our store is 3 months easily, stretching to 6 months with some work. I try to concentrate on what might be a meal vs going hungry, not a great
meal, but a can of baked beans is a whole lot better than nothing. Oh, we do have a Royal Berkey filter too. That is a must, or something comparable of another brand.
One thing you mentioned we really don't have, is a rotation schedule. A lot of
stuff will keep for a very long time, but rotatings it is just good sense.
Not sure if you've listened to Mike Adams at Natural News in the past, but on Feb 21st he did a really good breakdown of what it was like in Texas when everything was closed and nobody was prepared. If you haven't seen it already,
look on brighteon.com and search for Health Ranger Report, then scroll through
the list to find the Situation Update for Feb 21,2021.
Thanks,

pF> Nothing too in-depth - stored water, lots of dried beans, white and brow
rice, canned vegetables and soups/chilis. Buying lots of fresh produce
from
farmer's markets once a week, it lasts longer than supermarket produce.
And, boxed wine. :)
What I'm doing is keeping more canned goods and dried goods around while rotating through the stock and striving to go out to shop no more than
once
a week. I got sick of tossing out dedicated "storable" foods.
