I have a lot of food at the house at all times just because we cook from scratch and buy in bulk. Combine it with camping gear and gas stove / lantern, this can go for a month, no problem. It will not be great food, but definitely no issues to live well. All that's key is a good emergency water supply. 1 gal / day per person. Currently have 30 gallons stored. That covers a week, not counting what you can get out of your hot water heater and the top of the toilets - likely 2 weeks. By then, I'd expect a water truck help or can just go to a natural source with a water filter by bicycle ...

I would never buy the dry stuff. The problem with it is that you have to throw it out in a few years. My beans, rice, flour, canned stuff, I eat and replace all the time.
