How Long Could You Really Live Off Your Preps?

Curious how folks here have actually calculated how long their supplies would last, especially with off-grid setups. Factoring in water, power, and food, what's your real estimate—months, a year? Got any tips for stretching preps that worked out during a personal test run?

Honestly, with strict rationing and garden supplements, I figure I could last about 8-10 months. Have you tried cycling your water storage to keep it fresh?
