How Much Food Do You Really Need for 3 Months?

[BlueHarborTea]

Trying to calculate realistic food storage for a solid 3-month supply. How many pounds per person are folks actually setting aside? Would love to hear what’s worked (or not) for you, especially when factoring in variety and avoiding menu fatigue.

I stick to about 60-70 lbs of staples per person, but mix in home-canned veggies, beans, fruits to keep meals interesting. Have you tried rotating in dehydrated meals too?

About 75 lbs per person works for me, but I always add herbs and dried greens to mix things up—menu fatigue is real! Anyone else use wild plants to stretch supplies?
