Also

Cooking oil (coconut oil has a lot of longevity; regular cooking oil can go rancid and should be regularly rotated).

Fuel to cook your food if you plan to go off grid. It takes a lot of heat for a long time to cook dry beans.

Yes you need cooking oil but seedoils in general are fucking terrible. So for everyone not just preppers, stay away from canola, vegetable oil, grapeseed oil, soybean oil, etc. etc.

Coconut oil is great. EVOO from a very reputable supplier that cold pressed. Ghee. Grass fed beef fat. I like to always have a few briskets frozen at a time and I know that's a lot of back up tallow if I need it.

Seedoils are the number one 'food' driving obesity.

Is avocado oil good? What about olive oil?

Avocado oil is high heat stable but suffers from a lot of adulteration. In other words most manufacturers aren't giving you real avocado oil.

Stay away from light olive oil. It's hexane processed. EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), cold pressed from a good source is tolerable but I would never fry with it. Low or medium heat dishes are good.

I mostly use coconut, ghee, and animal fats.
