Default Stocking up for emergencies

You will still need a way to cook it.
Maybe something like a bread maker, powered by a generator that is also
keeping your freezer up to speed?


Call me crazy, but what about just living without bread until the emergency
is over? It's not as if bread is the only food that contains some crucial
nutrient that you can't live without. Some areas/cultures don't even have
bread as part of their cuisine, or at least they don't have leavened bread.
Some people can't eat wheat, and yet they somehow manage to survive.
