The benefits of building a Mormon stockpile are numerous. First, you can buy items in bulk at a discount and use them for many months. This will save your money long-term. Another benefit is that you can grow your own food and can it. Remaining foods can be dehydrated or canned.
Food
The LDS church has systems in place to help its members build a food stockpile and provide emergency food. The LDS church also has an online food store that members can access to purchase food. However, Mormons need to be aware of their supply chain issues when building their stockpiles.
LDS Church members are advised to keep a three-month supply. The supplies should include staple foods, such as sugar, grains, dairy products and salts. You should store the foods in a safe place.
Water
LDS church has set up systems to aid its members in building stockpiles. These systems include a church store and online ordering. You don’t have to be part of the church in order to purchase water, food and other supplies to build your stockpile. LDS church members are also encouraged to save money, and be financially prepared in the event of an emergency.
Mormons are known to have large amounts stored of food and water in order to survive an emergency. In case of emergency, members are advised to keep three months' worth food on hand. Mormons encourage members to save money each Monday to add to their stockpiles.
Cash
Ensign Peak Advisors is a $US100 million tax-exempt, investment fund managed by the Mormon Church. It has quietly amassed stakes in major blue-chip companies, including Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon. It also invests in major arms manufacturers. Although the fund is supposed to fund charitable spending, former insiders say it is being used to stockpile cash.
Mormon leaders wanted to create a self-sufficient economy for the Great Basin area. To encourage this, they advised members to keep food and other supplies stocked. They encouraged members of the church to assist others in need, even though this was not recommended.
FAQ
How to Navigate with or Without a Compass
Although it doesn't give you a map of where you are heading, a compass can help you navigate back home if your bearings have been lost.
You can navigate using three different methods:
-
By landmarks
-
By magnetic North (using a compass)
-
By stars
Landmarks can be objects you recognize as soon as you see them. They are trees, buildings or rivers. Landmarks provide visual clues to where you live.
Magnetic North is simply where the Earth's electromagnetic field points. If you look up at a skyline, you will notice that the sun seems to be moving across it. The earth's magnetic field actually causes sun to move around. Although it appears that the sun is moving across the sky and around the horizon, it actually does so. At noon the sun is directly overhead. At midnight, you will see the sun directly below. The magnetic field of the earth is constantly changing. This means that the exact direction and orientation of the North pole magnetically changes each day. This means that your course could drift a lot in a single day.
Another method of navigation is to use stars. Stars appear as if they rise and fall over the horizon. These are fixed points in time that you can use for determining your location relative others.
What is the most essential item for survival?
Food is essential for survival. Shelter is just as important as food. You won't live long if you don't eat.
What is the first thing you should do in a survival situation?
When faced with emergency situations, the first thing to do is assess the situation. You must know what's happening, where you are, how you got there.
You also need to know what you can expect from your environment. For instance, you might not be in a position to communicate with anyone if you are far from civilization.
If you don’t know what you are doing, you should start learning as quickly as you can.
If you're in any immediate danger, it is best to get medical attention immediately. But if you're not in immediate danger, it might be worth taking some time to gather information to determine what happened.
