[quote=Anonymous]We are preppers and I know I'm insane.  :D 
If I don't have it you probably don't need it. I have extra in case family ends up here. Our garage freezer is full and so is our in house freezer. We are not religious or end timers, nor paranoid hermits. Just regular people that saw the writing on the wall during the covid hysteria. There are only two things we need at the store at any given time, eggs and milk. Other than that I do think we could last a month or two maybe more if we had to. Even if we share. If we go down we all go together.
I cleaned out our hall closet and put a rolling metal shelf in there. All paper goods are stored there along with storage bags and garbage bags. Paper bowls, plates, plastic utensils, napkins. 
I put another metal shelf in my walk in closet, double wide rolling shelf and filled that with long shelf life foods. Our bathroom cabinets have quart size containers filled with medications we buy regularly. Enough to last many many months. Every time I ordered any I always bought one extra.  
Same with food. I buy two at a time of everything when it needs replacing. I don't let food go bad. New goes in the back shelf and older goes up front to use. Our walk in pantry had wasted space up top so my husband put up extra shelves. I keep a crockpot, electric skillet, mixer, blender, extra pet food up there and use the other shelves for can goods. Buying bulk is the way to go. Keeping a list of things helps too.
No one I know in my family does this and I do not tell anyone what we do except here. Anonymity is important. Not that the government or stores don't know because they do, sorry ass spies, but I like keeping my s... close to the vest KWIM ? If I showed family I think they would laugh or be scared. But really I don't care. It's my hobby right now.

It does not take a lot of space. A blank wall, a metal shelf in a bedroom, works. Those plastic shoe boxes are cheap and great for bandages and small food storage, batteries and flashlights. Cereal keepers and bread keepers are great also. Anything stackable works. We have a garage, no basement. We have an outside freezer. Huge water jugs for the toilet should we need and propane bottles filled are stored in the garage.  Couple of Mr. Heaters just in case. Last year our power was out so we slept in the living room and lit the fireplace. We cooked and heated water in the garage. We're all electric so prepping helped.  it.

Hope this helped. To make it all work you have to be committed but it is worth
