I think people underrate the importance of storing paper/hygeine items. I often think how miserable I would be without them. In an emergency, the lack of toilet paper, diapers and feminine hygeine products could be the thing that sinks ones sanity boat. I know that I have read in church curriculuum sometime in the past that we should store a year’s worth of things other than food–clothes is something I particularly remember.

We are LDS, and we have a 21 acre hobby farm full of 20 goats, 6 mini horses, 2 emu, 12 chickens, 12 hogs, 2 dogs and 5 cats. We store food for the animals enough for 18 months to include grain and hay and straw. We also are storing toiletries, paper goods, emergency items and medicines for 1 year at a time. We manage our storage with an inventory list updated weekly using a barcoded system much like a grocery store. We maintain our farm efficiently with 24 solar panels and 3 24 watt wind turbures which supply us with battery power and backup. We are called by our Ward as the most efficient running LDS family in the district. If anyone wants to know more… you may contact us at gossettranch@gorge.net. We are true homesteaders.

TP is my big one (though you’ve already covered that). You never know how much you need it until you run out. I also do the toiletries like shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, razors, feminine hygiene products, etc. My grandma (the queen of “food storage” in our family) also stores baby items like wipes and diapers. She doesn’t need them, but they’ve come in handy when the grandkids pop over for a visit!
