Mormons release SHTF survival list to members, page 1

I'm not promoting any kind of religious belief, so having said that here's the the Latter Day Saints Preparedness Manual. I HIGHLY suggest you take a gander at this bad boy, download it, print it, or buy a hard copy for 7 bucks (they sell hard copies right here). You can also view the free pdf version.

Just how big is a Year’s Supply of food? As explained on the previous page, our Church is suggesting the following minimums for each adult:

• 400 lbs. Grains (17.5oz / day)
  
• 60 lbs. Beans (2.6oz / day)
  
• 10 quarts Cooking oil (0.87oz / day)
  
• 60 lbs. Honey (2.63oz / day)
  
• 8 lbs. Salt (0.35oz / day)
  
• 16 lbs Powdered milk (0.70oz / day)
  
• 14 gallons of drinking water (for 2 weeks)
  

So, just how much is this? Two 5 gallon buckets will hold about 75lbs of wheat, rice or other grains.
This means you need 11 buckets of grain for each person in your family.

If you store all your grains in #10 cans…

• Wheat, Rice, Corn, etc. - you would need 64 cans or 10.5 cases per person.
  
• Pasta - you would need 32 cans or 5.25 cases per person.
  
• Rolled oats - these are lighter but bulkier, so they require more storage containers and space. You would need 124 cans or 21 cases person.
  
• Beans - a 25 lb bag of beans will about fit in a single 5 gallon bucket, with a little space over, so 2 buckets would hold a one person supply, or 12 -13 # 10 cans or about 2 cases.
  

Daily Food - dividing 400lbs by 365days, equals out to 1.09589lbs, or just over 1 lb of grain, per person, per day. That is approximately 2 cups of unground grain to cover your breakfast lunch and dinner. Dividing 60lbs by 365, this works out to 0.16 lbs of beans per day, or 2.6 oz—approximately 3/4 cup. The other foods listed would also need to be used in limited amounts.

This is not much food, folks. Get the basics, then immediately begin to add more kinds of grain, soup mix, canned and/or dehydrated vegetables and fruit, etc to add variety and provide more than the minimal survival diet. As an example, the minimum recommended amount of grain, when ground and prepared will yield about 6 small biscuits or a plateful of pancakes. It’s enough to keep you alive, but a far cry from being satisfied and not hungry.

My understanding from my attorney's secretary who is a Mormon is that they should also hold stores of Gold and Silver. At least her church was telling her that and she has all the food, guns, and gold and silver.

The Mormons have always in my life taught this mind of preparedness and I guess it is good advice for all peoples everywhere.

I always post on these threads to be prepared for anything and you need:

Guns and ammo
Food
Water
Water filtration system - Like the Berkey water filter
Gold/Silver and cash
Gas
Toilet Paper

Ok quit laughing at the toilet paper, but think about it. Can you imagine the value of toilet paper in a disaster of whatever kind that had the people without supplies for long periods. If you're married and have kids think about how much your wife would make you pay for toilet paper, think about how much it would be worth in trade value. Just the little things people don't think about but should. A woman without toilet paper is not something I would need to face while in a crisis, hell I don't want to face that now, DO YOU?

I was just about to say, stocking up on food is great, but what about water? What plan do the mormons have for that? How many gallons does a year's worth of water add up to?

You need to stock up on water in VERY large quantities. This might help...

It's interesting that this popped up again, as I am in northern Utah right now, and just down the road is this place..

I've been inside, and yes the Mormons are taking this very seriously.

Actually, they have some great stuff there, you can try samples and it was pretty interesting listening to some of their ideas, opinions on the government, the economy etc. These people are very seriously preparing for the worst.

Here in Utah, survival supplies, weapons and ammunition are a booming business right now.
