Eh, I know this is just humor BUT---
Forget the spam - not enough calories for the price. I suggest spaghetti and lots of canned tomatoes. Rice, flour, dried beans of all kinds. dried meats should be for accent not total meal. Some canned meats, but make sure you like them! For treats buy a few freeze dried meals that folks use backpacking.
How many weeks, months, years are we talking about ???
We have some water filters - several kinds. EASY to use.
Have a book about water distillation - hopefully it will never get that serious!
Have a wood stove in your house.
Oil lamps - do you know one of the best sources of light (very brilliant, even pretty) is an olive oil lamp?
WATER. Lots of herbs and spices to make the beans and rice edible.
Don't forget a gun or two - I suggest a S&W 40mm to go with the ammo. might learn loading too.
Gold is always a nice gift. I like oz. bars myself (-:
Have some books about wild herbs & herbalism.
A book about farming and growing your own.
Did you know that the humble dandelion is one of the finest herbs in nature? lots of iron and trace elements, tons of fiber, the root is a diuretic. I hate throwing them on the compost heap they are so good. Harvest them, wash them real well, blanch them, fry the leaves in oil oil and a little garlic. If they thready or tough, cut leaves a bit more than usual. Great with spinach.
Do all this and you will probably gain weight during an emergency, not lose it!!!!
Oh - in any emergency - use what is in your frig first. YOUR first meals should be from there BUT open it up quickly and close quickly.
