Chapter 22 · Pantry and cooking without power
Common mistakes in food lists
- 50 kg of rice and beans with no oil or fat: calories fall short even with a full closet.
- Dried beans as the main legume: 90 minutes of gas per pot. Lentils first.
- Brown rice, bulk nuts and unrotated oil: they go rancid before they're needed.
- Everything needs cooking: week 1 has to be eaten cold.
- No spices, coffee or anything sweet: after five days nobody wants to eat, and whoever doesn't eat decides badly.
- Forgetting the multivitamin: five weeks without fresh fruit or vegetables show.
- Planning food for 5 weeks and water for 2.
