FIELD PLAYBOOK // FOOD

PLAN FOOD YOU WILL
STORE. USE. REPLACE.

No-cook first. Heat retention second. Combustion outdoors.

ACTION ORDER

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU BUY MORE.

Use food you already eat and rotate it. The first layer should work without power, fuel or complicated cooking.

Build around normal food

Store things your household will actually eat and rotate them.

Cover no-cook meals

Tins, crackers and other shelf-stable options reduce energy dependence.

Protect water

Cooking methods that need lots of water may be a poor fit during a water outage.

Retain heat

Use food/drink flasks rather than repeatedly boiling.

Outdoor stove backup

If you keep a stove, store it safely and use it only outdoors as instructed.

Include dependencies

Baby, pet and dietary needs belong in the same plan, not as an afterthought.
