    25 pounds or rice per person will cover 3-4 months, you don’t even need that much. 15 pounds per person will easily cover a major emergency that lasts the winter. You have that room, everyone does.

      25lbs is only about 12kg. 1kg of raw rice is about 3000-4000kcal, so 1 days energy for 2 people.

      This is if rice is your only source of energy. Obviously you would want other things ideally but those take up even more space. Rice is a starting point to calculate it as it is one of the more dense options.
