CHAPTER 4 - MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS
If for no other reason, finding a balance between extreme paranoia and over-the-top preparations in terms of emergency food storage is beneficial to your mental health if done with common sense.
Even if you really don’t think anything is going to happen to cause you to use your emergency food storage, it helps to know that you are prepared just in case as it allows you to chalk that off your mental worry list or at least move it to the bottom of the priority list once you have made some reasonable preparations.
The old adage “better safe than sorry” fits well here. One would hope to never have need of emergency food storage of any kind because that would mean some part of life has been negatively affected in a big way, but life doesn’t tend to be without its challenges.
However, emergency food storage can make some of those challenges easier to endure by meeting the most basic requirement of survival – food and water.
