Food and water play much more of a role in your survival than most “experts” give credit to. They effect your psychological stability and depending upon your psyche can cause serious problems with their intake. There have been countless stories of people who had 30 days worth of food but could not bring themselves to eat it even when it meant starving to death which they did. So make sure that you pack what you will eat and not what someone told you is light weight or “survival food”.
The Principles of Psychology
Habit as Part of the Human Condition
Your goal should be to reestablish some type of routine (norm) as soon as possible. While creating a disaster survival plan you should note the things that you do in your routine everyday. I have found that it is the simple things that create a feeling of mental stability flowing over into your overall psyche. An example is if you start off you day with a cup of coffee, sit and watch the birds as you eat your breakfast, then include coffee, cups and other necessities to allow you to perform that morning ritual ASAP after bugging out.
The Comfort of Routine is Survival
Reestablish Routine as Soon as Possible - Plan for It !!
Proactive planning (prepping) is an act of a responsible educated person or organization. My grandparents had a "root cellar" in the 1960's. Each summer I have wonderful memories of my brothers and me being conscripted as child slave labor on the back porch of their home. There we sat for hours snapping and trimming stems off of mountains of green beans that my Grandmother was canning to "put up for winter". Even into the late 1960's people shopped at the grocery store once a month, and filled their freezer and pantries with food for the month. Now people stop for takeout every night on the way home or "grab something to heat up" on the way home from work. Few people under the age of 30 can truly fathom the fundamental change in the way we live since the advent of the Microwave Oven (originally introduced as a Radar Range). Over the ten or so years following the advent of the microwave oven American family social and eating habits were fundamentally altered forever (not for the better).
