4/ https://www.amazon.com/Escape-City-1-Travis-Corcoran/dp/B093BC3K1T … https://www.amazon.com/Escape-City-2-Travis-Corcoran/dp/B093B7T1M5/ … I really do recommend them in trade paperback, not ebook. I get the same $ either way, so this isn't selfishness. Just much easier to read on 8"x11" paper ... and works w no electricity !

5/ so, getting to food storage: if you have a decent paying job and money in the bank, but time is tight - head to http://costco.com or http://walmart.com or wherever and search for "one year food", click "buy" and get it delivered. DONE.

6/ ...thought you might want to check calorie counts. A lot of prepper food is like 1500 or 2,000 calories per day, and a grown man might burn 3,000 calories per day (or 4-5k/day if working outside, doing hard labor). Remember that you may have more than 1 person in your house

7/ The nice thing about the kits is that it comes already stocked in 5 gallon pails, which stack nicely in your basement. These kits all compete on cost, so they're going to be very high carb. But, you know ... that's ok. If you need to tap into your survival food >>>

8/ keeping your keto diet going for gainzzzz is the least of your problems. You might want to supplement these kits with other stuff. Canned soups, stews, etc have decent lifespans. Think ahead to cooking - get a small campstove or two (multifuel are good).
