"Very helpful thank you Carolyn. It's particularly helpful to know what fresh food will store well without refrigeration and to be reminded how many things come in boxes or cans for longer life!"

"The provisioning spreadsheet was a useful springboard to creating my own version. I added my own items that I regularly use, and took out things that aren't in our repertoire. I recommend this as a tool to help provision for long trips!"
