Generally speaking, the more a food is processed, the worse it is for long-term storage.
However, even with repackaging, not all foods will keep well for long periods of time.
Therefore, you’ll have to repackage most of what you buy, in order to prevent spoilage. Most food you buy in the grocery is packaged with the idea of you buying it and using it within a relatively short period of time, let’s say a couple of months.
Avoid all types of “snack foods” as there is no way to store them for long periods of time. You want foods that will give you the maximum nutrition for the minimum bulk. Most foods aren’t packed for long-term storage, with the exception of canned foods. You may not have electrical power, so your refrigerator and freezer may not work. Nevertheless, eating strange food is better than not eating anything at all.Īs you are selecting foods for your emergency stockpile, you need to consider the following: That may require eating things that your family isn’t used to eating. This isn’t buying your regular week’s groceries multiplied by 10, but rather buying food that you will use instead of your regular groceries. When selecting food for a survival situation, there are several things that need to be taken into consideration. If you have a secure, private bug-out location, you’ll want to duplicate your home stockpile at that location as well. Most people will end up bugging in during a crisis, so it makes sense to have the appropriate food stockpile in your home. This stockpile is based on you bugging-in, rather than bugging-out. If you think about it for a minute, that’s the only way to do it, which really makes sense. Because of that, most preppers base their purchases on the assumption that nothing will be available, so they’d better have it on hand. The biggest problem in deciding what to stockpile is that there is no way of knowing for sure what type of disaster is likely to strike so there is no clear way of determining what to buy. Several books have been written about the subject, none of which offer exactly the same advice. While that may seem like an easy question to answer, it’s really not. Of course, that raises the question of what to stockpile. That makes sense, as without the right supplies it’s hard to make it through any crisis situation. Most preppers start out by building a stockpile of food and other supplies to use in case of emergency.
