Great info and even more good info in the comments. One tip from me and it concerns pantry moths etc which oats and grains almost always have. Before storing put your product in the freezer for 24 hours. It won't freeze the grains but will freeze and kill bugs etc. I do this for my everyday use as well.

[@rowenacountryman2242]

I got moths one year and it was a real pain in the a$$. I lived in an apartment in Florida. The apartment below me had been empty for a couple of months. They left behind pasta and cornbread mix. I had to throw out everything that wasn’t completely sealed 3 times because they wouldn’t go clean out their apartment pantry. I store everything airtight now. I saw bugs I never knew could infest food. It’s been YEARS and I still can’t eat anything that has cornmeal in it. 🤢🤮

[@thatgayqueen2826]

​@@SunshineCatwomanwater does go bad. There are multiple ways to make it last longer. Storing things properly does go a long way. The issue is that it is very easy to mess most things up. I don't remember if it was the video or a commenter that mentioned storing things by usage size. For example, if you use 1# of dried beans in a soup or stew, store 1# in a jar. Each time you open a container to use an item, moisture has a chance of getting inside before you reseal it. You need to look at most containers and clean them regularly. Just water in some containers can cause leaching of the container. Many clay water pots from many countries contain lead. Some of those countries have laws against this, but they don't normally enforce them. Honey is the only item that I have read any material about not spoiling. I would need to check the natural maple syrup as it has many similarities with honey. Other than these two, most of the other items easily spoil with a little water, which includes high humidity. Good storage helps, but constantly opening the container for using a little at a time increases the chance of water or humidity getting inside. Yes. Humidity is water. I worded it that way due to some people using recently cleaned, but not completely dried utensils to dip into a jar of sugar or beans or whatever.

Dried Beans you better have a lot's of energy to cook them, I recommend canned or lentels which can be cooked in 20 min or loss.

[@Chompchompyerded]

Dry are fine, and will last longer than canned. The thing with dry is to soak them long enough, and if you have a pressure cooker, you can get them done in not a lot of time. Dried beans were what got us through the Great Depression. We don't have any problems at all compared to the Great Depression and World War II. In fact I can't believe how good it's been or for how long. Except for those of us who have been blessed with a very long life, no one remembers how bad it has been, nor how far from being bad we really are. As a child I couldn't have imagined there being strawberries in the grocery store in January of February, but these days every well stocked grocery store has strawberries in January or February. And they have Raspberries and blueberries, and oranges and grapefruit and tomatoes, and things which come from the opposite side of the world! Any time there were canned beans in the store, they were way more dear than we could afford. We only wood burning stove, but we'd soak some beans overnight, then change the water in the morning, then start them cooking in the pressure cooker about an hour before supper. They'd always be nice and soft and creamy by supper time. It was the soaking that made the difference, and changing the water kept the toots down, if you know what I mean. The great thing about pintos is that you can grow 50 lbs of them in not a lot of space, let them dry on the plant, then harvest them, and you'll be set for a long time. You'll probably get good an sick of eating beans, but they'll keep for years, you can grow more from what you have, and they will fill the empty spots.

[@henrikfox8960]

@@kristinetravis-ot6bb The United States has been involved in a number of wars in the Middle East over the past several decades. The reasons for these wars are complex and vary depending on the specific conflict. However, some of the most common reasons include: To protect US interests in the region, such as access to oil or military bases. To counter the spread of terrorism or weapons of mass destruction. To promote democracy and human rights. To support allies in the region. The wars in the Middle East have had a significant impact on the region and the world. They have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, displaced millions of others, and destabilized entire countries. The wars have also cost the United States trillions of dollars. The consequences of the wars in the Middle East are complex and far-reaching. They have contributed to the rise of extremist groups, the destabilization of governments, and the spread of instability throughout the region. The wars have also had a significant impact on the US economy and foreign policy. It is important to note that there are many different perspectives on the wars in the Middle East. Some people believe that the wars were necessary to protect US interests or to promote democracy. Others believe that the wars were counterproductive and have made the region more unstable. There is no easy answer to the question of whether or not the wars in the Middle East were justified. It is a complex issue with no easy answers. It is also important to note that the wars in the Middle East are not the only reason for the region's problems. The region has a long history of conflict and instability, and many of the problems that exist today are rooted in that history. The wars in the Middle East have certainly exacerbated these problems, but they are not the sole cause. It is important to be aware of the different perspectives on the wars in the Middle East and to consider all of the factors that have contributed to the region's problems. There is no easy answer to the question of whether or not the wars were justified, but it is an important question to consider.

It's nice to hear someone actually saying something correct about salt for a change. It simply regulates our fluid level. If we eat too much, we get thirsty.

[@Chompchompyerded]

That's not quite accurate. Salt causes you to retain fluid, and in some cases that can be bad (for instance if you have heart of kidney disease). It is a necessary electrolyte, but you can get all you need for those purposes just by eating the right fresh foods. Eating too much of it will cause problems for you long term. Like everything, it's a trade-off though. Some people may like it enough that they're willing to knock a few years off their life, or spend the last years in a nursing home where they hide the salt shaker from you, and feed you horribly bland food. In the end, it's your choice. If you know the dangers, and that's what you want to do anyhow, then who's to tell you to do otherwise? Certainly not me. Probably not the loved ones which you'll leave behind either. They'll be devastated whether you go sooner or whether you go later. So you do you.

Interesting to watch this but some several errors and other things that are not mentioned. Honey is naturally safe and can last for millenia, Tinned foods can last for centuries (ignore sell by dates on cans) the food is preserved in a vacuum and cannot go off) - just need to store tins in a cool dark place. Regarding water, any stored water is safe - if you boil it then let it cool when to use - it is safe. Sea water can be boiled and then cooled and can separate water and salt to be stored when needed.

This should've been titled "Do You Have a Cool Dry Place?"- I say store everything in a cool/dry place- some stuff needs it- and it won't hurt the stuff that doesn't. I can't think of anything that needs to be store in a hot.... whoa... I almost did it huh? Yeah- you get my point anyway. If you hang'em all, you'll get the guilty. And the best cool/dry place I can think of- underground. The only problem- no air flow, its stagnant- and tends to get damp. The ideal setup would be an enclosed underground space where you could ventilate and reasonably control humidity. A storm shelter- it would work perfectly- and I need one anyway- I live in the new tornado alley- in north Alabama. For the last few years, we've gotten more tornadoes than the traditional tornado alley that ran up through Teas and into the Midwest. So now they're saying this is the new "tornado alley"- which sucks- we would gladly give that honor back if we could. That said- we can't- and the only shelter I have stays flooded and is horrible- we no longer use it. It was built over 40 years ago, by hand- they just found a steep bank and dug into it- built a square concrete block structure with a slab top. Which sounds good and can work- but they failed to build it correctly and it fills with water., molds, and becomes a nightmare of a place to try and go into. The bats have taken it over now.

[@Chompchompyerded]

Just about said a hot dry place? You're right if that's what you were going to say. That's why there is hardly anything edible in the desert. A little bit of greasewood, a little bit of rabbit brush, some cactus which has juice that is so alkaline it will kill you in a little bit of no time. Yup. Store it in a hot dry place and it will either be spoiled or dust before you can think of eating it. Back in the day, when refrigerators were tiny and cost a whole year's wages, we had root cellars. We put canned goods and things like cabbages, beats, carrots, and potatoes and squash in there and eat off it all year long. Those things would over-summer and over winter as well. It would be getting low by the following summer, but when the crops started coming in, we'd fill it up again. We never wanted for anything. We always had a sack of beans in there, and that would tide us over in really tight times. It may not have been fine dining, but it kept us alive. You learned a few tricks such as soaking your beans over night, then changing the water and soaking them a little longer before putting them in a pot and putting them on the wood/coal burning stove for the rest of the day until supper. You'd get tired of beans after awhile, but that just made it that much better when something else was on the menu. Even as tired as I used to get of eating beans, I have to admit that I still get a hankering for them sometimes, especially if I can have them with some hot, fresh baked bread and a bit of butter. Nowadays we're kind of spoiled. We can get any food we want, even things from half way around the world. We can get strawberries in January if we're willing to pay enough. If we don't have butter we think we're deprived, and we'd better have meat at least two meals out of three, and three out of three if we want. We live in good times, and it's been good times for so long that most people don't remember when it wasn't good times. Yet we let politicians and video makers who just want more money tell us that it's bad and only going to get worse. Well I'm here to tell you that I've lived a very long and blessed life, and it's not bad, and it's not likely to get bad any time soon unless we fall for the silliness that certain politicians are trying to scare us into believing. We have it good, and the fact that we're not the only ones that have it good anymore isn't a bad thing. It's proof that our way of life works wherever it is adopted. In good times like these, how good our lives are depends mostly on us. If we have a really bad day, or a really bad run of luck, remember that the sun rises again tomorrow, and that each day you have a chance to make the lives of people who cross your path a little bit better, by giving a smile, or giving comfort, or countering untruth were ever you find it. Do your very best to be kind to others and to do no harm, and your life will be fine. I have lived a long time, and I probably won't live very much longer, but I know that life is good, and I know that your life will be good too, if you take a tiny bit of time out of your day to make the lives of others better. To the person whom this is a reply to, You're doing a great job by pointing out that you need a cool dry place. I see the one reply that accuses you of being negative. I don't think you are. You are trying to help by sharing that little bit of knowledge. It's unfortunate that if what you say blows up someone's dreams you'll be attacked for it. But if it gets that person to thinking on down the line, or if it gets someone else thinking, then it was worth saying. You will never know if it was or wasn't, but that's not what matters. What matters is that you tried. Good job, and keep up the good work. Just one little side note, I live in the original tornado alley. It's like it's always been, and maybe a little worse. I'm sorry to hear that it's getting worse where you are. Do what it takes to make yourselves safe. Maybe build a safe room in your house which is so sturdily built and re-enforced that a tornado can't break it. As long as you get through with your life you've got it made. The tornado may take your home and everything in it, but if you have a place to shelter safely from it, you will always have your life, and as long as you have your life, you have all that it takes to help people, and by doing so, to make your life more worth while, and therefore happy. Happiness doesn't come from money or what you have or what you don't have. It comes from within, and how you use that which is within. Never do harm, and always do kindness, and everything will be fine. Love and kindness conquers all. I hope you find a lot of it in your life, no matter how dark or how good things may get.

The round ones can be a real nuisance, but the ones with rectangular trays are convenient! If you get a dehydrator or freeze-dryer, also get a vacuum sealer so you can immediately seal the foods to not re-absorb moisture again.

3 years is nothing compared to their potential shelf life. As long as they're stored right they'll stay edible for decades. "Best Buy" and "Sell By" dates are totally arbitrary except for fresh dairy like milk. The USDA now says that commercially canned foods are good forever, but they will not be as tasty.

Dried Jerky+ In heavy salt solution boil small pieces of meats in it for 3-5 minutes. (For anti MOLD and flavor.) Drain it and then smoke it in what for us looked like a large outhouse with sheet metal steel roofing 45 FT high to prevent fire destruction of rough lumber Fir wood. Oak, Alder, other smoking woods for 3 days. I have some that tastes just fine that was made in 1972. Rock hard and sealed in jars that were heated to 165 degrees and sealed in half gallon jars. Put a small piece in the mouth and it will draw saliva to soften a bit at a time. 4 oz. dry weight is equivalent to a 1/2 lb of fresh meat. A stone walled smoke house can last an easy 100 yrs.

My mom never let us open more than one box of cereal at a time because it'd get soggy.

The thing I sometimes wonder about survival storage is that the longer you require survival rations for, the worse the ongoing situation is. Food for a few weeks due to transport or electricity outage - good. A month or more worth for large natural disaster or civil unrest - worrying. Food and supplies for a year or more due to full blown war, epidemic very worrying. Most people wont have more than a few weeks to a months worth, and then what - Mad Max?

Then panic sets in. Those with "arms" will take everything from those without. Unfortunately, many will start taking within the first weeks because they haven't prepared. So you need more than just a cool dark place to keep your food.
