Preparedness Concept From the Book Series 299 Days – The Survival Shed

One of my favorite prepper book series is 299 Days, by Glen Tate. This is a very long series with 10 books in total(Book 10 is optional). I’ve often said it was one of the most plausible scenarios I’ve come across.

Of particular interest in the book was once he purchased his cabin retreat he began to stock it with supplies. Food was of primary importance. Interestingly, due to his hiding his preps from his wife early in the book he put all his preps in a shed on the property. It was never discussed, but, I assume he took logical precautions against bugs and rodents. Early in the series, he would refer often to this shed and how he had it stocked – especially with pancake mix. His son loved pancakes.

If you are not familiar with the series here is a quick summary of the series beginning with Book One:

From Book 1: Meet Grant Matson: lawyer, father, suburbanite husband who awakens to the fragility of modern society and embarks on a personal journey that introduces him to a world of self-reliance and liberation.

299 Days: The Preparation, the first book in the 299 Days series, depicts the inner struggles Grant must face as he exists in a social system he recognizes as unsustainable and on the verge of collapse, but one in which he has built his life around. What begins as a return to his roots, self-sufficiency and independence, becomes a full blown move to prepare for what may come. Engaging, insightful and a bit suspenseful, follow Grant’s transition from a self-perceived “sheeple” to a full-blown “prepper.” Will his fears come true? Is he an extremist? What if nothing happens? What if something do

I’ve often thought about the idea of a “preparedness shed.” Basically the idea is not to have all your eggs in one basket. While many supplies would be kept in the main house, additional supplies would then be stored in the shed. Should something happen to the house the shed would have supplies to fall back on and vice-versa.

Of primary concern would be extreme heat in the summer and freezing in the winter. There are a variety of ways to cool in the summer including the use of air conditioning on the hottest days as well as 12V fans with a small solar setup to improve ventilation. In the winter a small, wall-mounted propane heater with thermostat could be used to keep contents above freezing.

Food stored in rugged totes and sealed 5-gallon buckets could be stacked along the walls. Other supplies organized in totes of various sizes and labeled would provide easy access. Maybe even inventory sheets to track what comes in and out of the shed? Maybe.

Thoughts? If you had a nice survival shed what would you store in it?

Take care all –
