Live Off Your Own Body Fat
Surprise! Every Prepper has built-in food storage: their own Body Fat. Even the skinniest of persons has a few months of fat fuel on their bodies. The catch is, you will die if you don't keep getting water and new electrolytes and certain vitamins and minerals.
WHEN I BEGAN MY SERIOUS PREPPING PURCHASES, I FOCUSED ON WHAT WAS THE MOST STRATEGIC AND VALUABLE SET OF RESOURCES: Bulk supplies of Electrolytes, Vitamins, and Minerals. These are medically required to stay healthy, fully functional, and alive during a long period of not eating. Yes, it is possible to 'burn that fat away' and use that fat fuel as your only daily food source and to thrive and advance in doing so. I've never heard of any prepper discuss this before. I might be onto something? Yea buddy! I think so too.
While this would not totally eliminate the need for growing, catching, and storing food - it would, at least initially, help prepper's survive during an initial disaster stage and also provide them a 'cushion' or 'buffer' to transition into longer periods of survival, but you got to know what to do.

Personal Mobile Survival Kit
All Your Main Prepping Equipment Should be... Small & Portable!
All equipment you buy in the beginning should always and primarily be focused on 'SURVIVAL' equipment - items that you absolutely need to live AND that have DUAL FUNCTIONALITY:
Mobile Use | Small, Portable, lite enough to carry yourself in a Mobile Bag, Cart, or Backpack. Secondarily, what you can easily and quickly pack in a car. If you can't carry it with you, you may have to abandon it - and thus it will do you no good to buy, at least initially.
Basic Home Use | It should also be good enough to use in your home, at least in a basic or primitive way.
In your individual mobile survival kit/pack you should at least have these items:
WATER FILTER: Personal Filtration and Basic Storage. See Personal Mobile Kit Amazon List.
SOLAR PANELS: Small, Portable Fold-Out Panels - that charge 5V USB Devices directly and also 12v output that can also charge a small 'portable' battery (aka solar generator).
Rechargeable Batteries and Battery Charger that is powered, not via a wall plugin, but via a 5V USB connection (i.e. from a small portable solar panel).
Basic Lights: lanterns and flashlights that are powered by rechargeable batteries (AA, C, D, 18650s, 21700s).
Personal Hygiene Items
Bars of Soap, Dawn Liquid Soap
Clothes Laundry Items (wash board, bus tray)
Portable Bidet Squeeze Bottle (Butt Shower)
Bulk Food Supplies
When looking into buying food supplies for one main but critically overlooked area is how long does it take for those items to cook. Another is how long will the food items survive in storage. The best food items to store are dry goods like rice and beans which can easily last 10 years
