Tip #10: Keep your Pantry Secure
This is a straight-forward but important piece of advice. All of your careful and expensive preparation could be undone in an emergency situation, if you don't keep your survival pantry protected. You should protect your pantry with a solid door and a secure lock. Make sure that the copies of your keys are safe.
Tip #11: Think About Installing A Large Deep-Freezer
For preppers deep-freezers have big advantages and big disadvantages. Most obviously, they allow you to store a huge range of foods for a long time. For this reason it might be worth considering the possibility of using a large deep freezer. Commercial deep freezers as used by restaurants and shops are available, which can store a large amount of food.
Of course, the big disadvantage is that freezers need a power supply, either from the mains or elsewhere. For this reason, preppers do not like to rely upon them. On the other hand, they are well-insulated and are able to maintain a low-temperature for a time after the power has been shut down. Good freezers should be able to keep ice-crystals in the food and keep it safe to eat. Low-temperatures can be maintained by ensuring that your freezer is always well-stoked and that the seal is not damaged. Once the power is off, you will need to restrict the number of times you open the door. Using an inventory is a good way of knowing exactly what is in your freezer without spending a long time looking through it.
