Ha! I'm not the sugar junkie I used to be but the hummingbirds are now using about 7 lbs. a day. In another month with juvenile and northern migrants we'll use about 12-14 lbs. a day.
Oh, and I don't use red coloring.
With how aggressive some can be I'm surprised you don't need bird air traffic control. I know a rufous here often won't anything else near a feeder in eyesight.
Surprised no one has mentioned water filters. I've got 4 Sawyer water filters (https://sawyer.com/products/all-in-one-water-filter/) and a couple Lifestraw Home water pictures (https://www.lifestraw.com/collection...lifestraw-home). Will have non-perishable foodstuffs but water is everything.
Good catch, I forget about a lot of things, because I have them and assume everyone else does too. I have a dozen lifestraws. (maybe a few more) A Crown Berkey, Royal Berkey and a bunch of spare filters. Clean water is kind of important. We also have a hand pump for our well. No matter what if there is no power we can pump water out of the well.

It hadn't even crossed my mind!
I was at Murdoch's today and saw they had 5 Gallon water jugs (block style) on sale for $7.99 each.

Walmart has pool shock on the shelves this time of year
Water is far and above the greatest concern for us.
Hbar - have you checked out the solar jack pumps? Prices seem to be decent.
The neighbors and I have been investigating a now abandoned irrigation well on the border of our properties to see the feasibility of getting it pumping if SHTF.
I picked up a couple of the lifestraw gravity bags

You can go through 5 gals fast plus things grow or it gets stale after time. 0.1 micron filters like those used in the Sawyer Mini or Lifestraw Home pitchers will clean just about anything bigger than a virus from the source you're drawing from. Get a few of the jugs so you can set up a long gravity feed and not have to wait for clean water when you want it but don't plan on storing all your potable water desires for a long time in them (IMO).
