Since life can be distracting (and we know how hard it can be to stay focused on things like food storage), we created some checklists to guide you in building your food storage. The checklists cover 72 hour kits, water storage, 3 month supply of normal foods, and your entire one year supply of long-term foods as well as some critical non-food items. They come with to-do items, to-purchase items, recipes and more!

Depending on your style, you can get them 2 different ways:

Every two weeks you will receive an email with a checklist of to do’s to guide you through building your food storage program. After following our checklists for one year you will have a complete food storage.



Since so many of our readers asked us to have our free email reminders all at once, we incorporated them into The Food Storage Made Easy Downloadable Binder. This binder includes all the checklists, our best website content, huge recipe appendix, FREE UPDATES emailed to you with all our new content, and more. Learn more…

Read what our subscribers are saying about the checklists:

    I have just downloaded your new posts and handouts, and am wanting to view the fuel sources that you mentioned on the 72 Hour kit food ideas page. Can you point me in the right direction please! Thanks,
  • avonbingham
    I bought your binder and have printed it out. How do I access the links from the printed page?(not possible) So how do I, or my children for the additional information.
    P.S. yes I paid for additional copies.
  • The links are there as a convenience in case you are looking at the document on your computer rather than in your binder. For your children, you can email them a copy of the pdf to go with their printed binder so they can more easily access the links. Otherwise, all of that information can be found on our website, and we have tried to leave notes as to which section they can find it on within the printed page. Hope that helps a bit!

    HI! Love the blog, the help, the ideas etc! Just received BabySteps Chklist #26 and I have a "suggestion". It's bothered me before but kept putting off saying anything, but I've not seen it anywhere else on the blog.

    Many times I have seen your suggestion of rotating/updating 72 hrs kits etc water supply. Please, water is in short supply in many areas - instead of saying "Empty your water containers" how about suggesting that they fill a new fresh one (or purchase one for 79 cents at Walmart), and use the "old" one for watering plants, the garden, the car radiator (if you don't use antifreeze), the cat/dog waterbowl, the fishbowl, the bird feeders, mopping the floor, etc.

    How about: flushing a toilet in extreme circumstances, washing your face, hands, hair, teeth, handwashing undies (again in extreme emergencies), washing the dishes when camping - I'm sure your readers can think of many other things - water is, and will continue to be, the ONE most important thing we store - so don't just "dump" it down the drain - USE IT!
  • We don't specifically tell people to dump it down the drain ;) We figure that people will use it, drink it, water plants, etc. whatever works best for them on their own. It's definitely true though, no need to waste such a precious resource.

    I have added you to my safe list, and I still am not receiving emails. Any suggestions?
  • Myrna
    Hello! thank you for all of the work you have done to make it easier for me and others to make the "Big Picture" into a "Snapshot". I am one of those that has been comepletely overwhelmed with the urgencey/importance of trying to have all the food storeage that my family needs. Even the 72 hour or 3 month kits have become confusing to me even with all of the research, word of mouth, some education that I have learned from. Thank You again for all of your hard work to help all of us. Could I also get baby steps 1,2,3,4 ? I didn't get them in my emails.

    Thank you!! :}

    Thanks
  • hollymagleby
    Please send a copy of Babysteps checklist # 16. I thought I had saved it but I am unable to find it so I can print it to keep with my emergency info file. I really enjoy the check lists. Thank you for making them.
  • Terri Adams

    Terri

  • elijeffries
    do you have some kind of adaption for people with very little storage space?
  • Lisa
    I was just wondering if you could resend me baby steps checklists 2,3,and 8. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
  • Please shoot us an email at info@foodstoragemadeeasy.net and we can trouble-shoot this for you. Thanks!
  • lisafortner
    I just bought the e-binder & I have a question...I am suppose to begin in the start here section, & do the baby steps along the way? Can you clarify this for me? Thanks, Lisa
  • bonniewightman

  • Please send an email to info@foodstoragemadeeasy.net so we can trouble-shoot your problem. Let us know the email address you signed up with, and the most recent checklist you received. Thanks!
  • Tammy
    This is great - I have been trying to get this done. We do really good for a while, then forget about it.
  • I love checklists
  • getting ready to do a 72-hr kit making night to get ready for hurricane season. love foodstoragemadeeasy.net
  • I just wanted to tell everyone how awesome this is! Our ward has been putting on food storage preparedness nights for a couple of months now and I have been one of the privileged to test the ideas and recipes of how to use your storage foods. We used wheat and grouned it up to thicken soups, slowcooked it in crockpots for breakfast or to freeze. Add it to anything.
  • AngieA
    Hi, Girls! Love your site and have been saving up my baby steps til my printer was fixed (read, replaced) and noticed I'm missing #2. Can I get that one again? Thanks!!! I have recommended your site to anyone who even whispers the words "food storage". Everyone loves it! Good job!
  • In your 72-hour kit list, I would suggest adding the following:

    * Power inverter (converts your cigarette lighter to a regular plug): great for charging cell phones. You can get these for pretty cheap at any electronics store

    * Spare phone charger & battery for your current cell phone

    * Old but still working cell phone with charger/battery (you know you have one lying around somewhere). These can still dial 911 even if you don't have any service connected to it.

    I also noticed that you had spare clothes for the kids, but nothing for the adults. We'll need clean clothes too, or clean underwear at the very least.
  • Jodi
    Michele, Yes the checklists will still be available for free and will continue to be sent every two weeks. The binder is not replacing this service.
  • Michele
    Are you planning on emailing the checklists every 2 weeks if we are not able to purchase the whole thing for $17?
  • I'm so behind!! And I apparently deleted steps #1 - 5, could you send them to me again? Thanks!!
  • Ann
    Can you please send checklist number 3 to me again. Only some of the text on it will print and the rest is missing. I had no issues with my first two checklists but this one doesn't seem to be working. I even tried waiting a few days and trying again but it's still doing the same thing.
  • Deidrean
    I would like to say the checklists are great!! They are going to make getting my food storage together so easy. That being said we just moved and I have misplaced checklist #1, #2 and #3. If there is any way that they could be resent I would really appreciate it. Keep up the fantastic work ladies!
  • wendy
    This site is just what I've been looking for. Is there a way that I can get the checklist all together instead of just on a weekly basis? We're fortunate to have a lot of time to devote to our emergency plan and food storage right now and I'd like to get it done in the next 6 months before classes start again. Thanks so much!
  • kayla
    Is there a way to get the checklists faster? I signed up and got #1 and now I'm ready for #2. I really don't want to wait 2 wks between them. Since I'm on a roll, I want to keep up my momentum. Thanks!
  • mary
    Not sure what happened (my mommy-brain or the computer), but I just printed off my most recent checklist (#4) and realized I don't have a #3. Is it possible to get another copy?
  • Tori
    Is it possible to get the checklists all up front and not have to wait for every two weeks? I looked around on the website, but didn't see anywhere to find them.
  • jweiss08
    Darla

    We accidentally sent out # 3 early to some people, or # 2 might have gone to your junk mail -We will email you #2 today,

    Julie
  • Darla
    I signed up for your babysteps checklists and only received #1 and #3. Could I possibly receive #2. I want to be able to do it all. I really appreciate ya'll for all you do. If there is a "preparedness for dummies" this is it! Ya'll are wonderful! Thanks!!
  • Sharalyn
    Is it possible to get a full "set" of the checklists so I can do it in the order that works best for me?
  • Melissa
    Loving the checklists! I am finally getting everything together. Thank u thank u!
  • TracyinSC
    There you go again, brilliant as ever! We're only up to a high of 54 today. So I'll have to make sure I wear my sweater. :) I don't miss Utah winters very much, but I REALLY miss the summers. They're atrocious here. SO hot and humid. I don't know if I'll ever get used to it. Fortunately my girls have never known any different, so maybe they won't grow up being as miserly in the summer as I am...

    Stay warm. Be happy. Thanks for all you do.
    Love ya.
    Tracy
  • jweiss08
    Tracy
    Tell them to sign up, the beauty of it, is that it starts from the beginning from whenever you sign up, so no one is missing out.....
    Hope you're staying warmer in SC then us here out here in FREEZING Utah!
    -Julie
  • TracyinSC
    Are you going to eventually post the past checklists in case someone missed them from the beginning? I want to point my friends to these, but don't know if I should save copies and send to them, or if you had plans to do that.

    Thanks SOOOOOOO much. Love yas.
    Tracy
  • TracyinSC
    Oh, you mean the OBVIOUS answer? Cool. Thanks. :)
  • Admin
    If your house isn't an option for a meet up place (some kind of natural disaster), determine a close by place and determine the roads you will take to get there. That way you will be traveling the same roads and hopefully find each other somewhere along the way.
  • TracyinSC
    I'm almost done with the first checklist (!). I just wanted to find out what you meant by "Route to try first" in the "Reunion Locations" section.

    Thanks gals.
  • Tracy
    Isn't it Monday yet?
  • You're going to be excited on Monday Tracy! *wink wink*
