How long you should prepare for:
72 hours – This is the start for most. Your best bet for any 72 hour event is a Bug out Bag. Most start here and expand as needed.
2 weeks – At this point you basically want to make sure you have enough water and food to last over and above the contents of your BOB Most natural disasters fall into this catagory.
1 month – Again, this is mostly more water and food over and above a BOB, but you should also include a way to cookYour Food and Heat your home
without power. Get foods that can be easily prepared with very little clean up.

6 months – Now you are into long-term preps. You will want tomaking a stock pile of food as well as having a great amount of wateron hand for everyone. Also consider being more self reliance in case whatever event you are planning for last longer than expected.
1+ years – This is when your best bet is to become self-sufficient and start a homestead. You can stock up on a year’s supply of food, and if you can’t buy any land or live you in a city then this is still your best bet…although I highly recommend you get out of any populated area quickly and go to you bug out location
If you think you may go a 6 months or more in any sort of SHTF scenario you should sit down and consider all that is required to live a daily life, and the amazing amount of stuff you would need. It would be almost impossible for a single person to do it all. Consider talking to your friends about it and see if you can build a comunity of preppers who can rely on each other in dire times.
