Are you in a hurry to build an emergency pantry? Emergency food buckets can be an essential part of a prepper’s pantry. Like everything else, there are pros and cons to stockpiling emergency food buckets. Notice I didn’t say “the least expensive way” to build a prepper’s pantry. Buckets are definitely not the thriftiest way to create a stockpile. I also didn’t say “the healthiest way” to build a prepper’s pantry. There are all sorts of methods that will net you more nutritious foods. Despite all of the drawbacks, I still recommend emergency food buckets.
