survival foods What is the best survival food with long shelf life? ?
I want to start stocking up on survival foods (freeze dried, vaccuum packed, stuff like that). I would like to make it home made, I have a dehydrator, or food I can buy at the grocery store. Thanks.
They have found grains hundreds and even thousands of years old that were stored in a dry dark environment that still germinated and grew. The key here is a cool dry place devoid of light. In such a place grains and plant seeds can be kept for decades. Dry beans, rice and corn kept very well some nuts do however some nuts do not.
I keep food grade 30 gallon barrels full of rice, beans, corn, flour, powdered milk and 5 gallon buckets with many other dried foods. All are in sealed containers kept in a root cellar.
Canned good can be kept for a few years but dried foods keep much longer.
Meat can be jerked with a high salt content and vacuumed sealed for several years.
Unopened vinegar, maple syrup, cooking oil, and other such things will last for years in the unopened factory container.
In today's world of financial instability, food shortages, possible inflation and rising commodity prices Long Term Food Storage must be considered by any prudent individual or family. Mylar bags, when combined with 2000cc oxygen absorbers and 5 - 6 gallon buckets are considered the best way to store large quantities of food for 20 - 30 years...

In 1982, the FDA approved IOSAT potassium iodide tablets for blocking the thyroid's absorption of cancer-causing radioactive iodine (only the thyroid absorbs iodine). Saturate the thyroid with potassium iodide's stable iodine so it won't absorb radioactive iodine, the predominate radioisotope released from a nuclear reactor release or nuclear bomb fallout.

It is an interesting question why bread and milk are the main staples to people preparing for a snowstorm. Bread is obvious because it has been ingrained in us that bread is a survival food that has been used all throughout history. It is cheap and fills you up more efficiently than most other foods. Why milk? The articles still seemed stumped over this question too. No one has a very good reason why milk has become partners with bread in survival foods. Maybe it is because it is an ingredient that can be used with a long list of other foods to create a meal. But it isn't very practical because it is one of the quickest items to go sour if the power were to go out. I learned from personal experience last Thursday the hysteria that the threat of a snowstorm brings to grocery store. I went into Martin's and each isle was about fifteen people deep. All of these people got there fear from the same source and that is the media. These people looked like they were being timed on how fast they could get in and out of the grocery store and be locked in their homes before the “monster” hit. It is understandable that the media report on what kind of weather is coming and throw out some suggestions on how to deal with the weather. However, the 24 hour coverage and dramatic warnings/statements has way to much power over the people. Most of us have dealt with snow before and if we took a deep breath and thought on our own, instead of allowing the media to get into our heads and put us on autopilot where we react off of their reactions, we would realize that it is not as big of a threat as they have made it out to be. Just make sure that your home is safe and make sure you have food to survive off of in case the power goes out, which most of us already have things in our pantry. The response is a way overblown reaction and I agree with the first article that states it is a control thing and by going out and making sure you are well equipped for the storm you feel, as if, you are in control of the situation.
