A mum who has prepped over a year's worth of food says she is ready for 'any disaster'. Allison Michael, 41, has been living self-sufficiently with her husband Joe, 45, and their four children for 15 years.
She spends her days tending to the garden and livestock on their 20 acres of land in Bonner County, Idaho, US, to make sure all of the family's food is completely organic. This homegrown produce is then used in their meals or carefully preserved in Allison's fully stocked pantry, which has enough food to keep the family 'thriving' for a year.
The parent says that her efforts mean they are prepared for any disaster - whether it's a natural emergency or a nuclear winter, the Mirror reports. Allison, a homemaker and content creator, said: "I like to be prepared for an emergency - which we may have to deal with, but I don't do it because I'm scared. I prep so my family can thrive not just survive.
"I loved the idea of feeding my family food I had grown so I knew where it was coming from. My husband and I started looking into homesteading a while back when we were renting and started to learn about preservation.
"I used one of our bathrooms as a canning pantry before I had my own space. Now I'm lucky to have a pantry where I can keep all my food storage."
"We're prepared for any natural disaster or emergency. We have a lot of winter storms, and wildfires are likely to occur so we're ready for them. But I don't prep in fear."
Allison uses methods such as water bath canning - a processing method used in home canning for high acid foods - pressure canning and freeze drying to prepare ingredients to last for months to feed her family if a disaster hits. Allison has a pantry dedicated to food storage and uses a three-layer
