Our Prep Focus for Week 2 is your prepper pantry or short-term food supply. These are the foods that you eat regularly. It includes shelf-stable foods in your pantry and food in your freezer. Having these foods on hand means you eat your normal diet without going to the grocery store. *** THERE IS A GLITCH IN AMAZON AND THE DIGITAL BOOK IS NOT AVAILABLE.
