How to Calculate Emergency Food Supply for a Family of 4.

The amount of emergency food supply needed for a family of four depends on factors such as the length of time the food is needed, the caloric requirements of each family member, and personal preferences.

As a general guideline, a family of four might need at least a 3-month supply of emergency food. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), each person should consume a minimum of 2,000 calories per day during an emergency situation.

For a family of four, this amounts to a minimum of 24,000 calories per day.

If we assume that each serving in the Ultimate Meat Bundle contains an average of 400 calories, then a family of four would need:

Approximately 15 servings per day (24,000 calories ÷ 400 calories per serving = 60 servings per day).

This would equate to 4,500 servings for a 3-month supply.

It's important to note that this is just a rough estimate, and individual needs may vary based on activity levels, age, and health conditions. It's also a good idea to supplement emergency food supplies with other essential items such as water, first aid supplies, and hygiene products.

How much food does a family of 4 need for a 3 month emergency food supply?

Based on the calculations above,

a family of four would need at least 720 servings of food for a 3-month emergency supply.

To achieve this, they would need to purchase:

• 9 Ultimate Meat Bundles (60 servings each) = 540 servings
• 3 Bonus Readywise Food Buckets (104 servings each) = 312 servings

• 720 Serving Emergency Food Storage Survival Bucket = 720 Servings

This combination would provide a total of 852 servings, which is more than enough to cover a 3-month emergency period for a family of four.

Additionally, if your family is not accustomed to a diet of freeze-dried food, it may be challenging to adjust to the dietary restrictions that come with emergency food supplies. While freeze-dried food can be nutritious and filling, it may lack the variety and flavor that many people are used to in their everyday diets. It's important to plan ahead and make sure that your family is prepared to adjust to the limitations of emergency food supplies.
