How To

How to preserve food in a survival situation

The best way to preserve food in a long-term emergency is by drying it. Drying food preserves it from moisture, making them last longer. It also reduces bacteria growth.

Dried fruits are great for snacking on during an emergency because they don't require any preparation. They are portable and can be taken with you wherever you go.

You can make dried fruit at home using a dehydrator, but if you have access to a solar oven, this would be ideal. A solar oven can be used to dry many foods, such as meat, fish, and vegetables.

Airtightness is the most important aspect of food preservation. This prevents oxygen entering the container and spoiling it. You don't need to use preservatives if the container is sealed tightly enough.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt helps prevent mold growth. Next, add vinegar. Vinegar kills harmful bacteria and prevents mold growth.

Start by cutting up your food in small pieces. You can use a knife or scissors. Make sure you pack everything well so that no air gets inside the container.

Next, place the food in a bag. Place the food inside a plastic bag. Keep it warm until it dries fully.

After the food is dried, seal it in a container. You must be careful not to allow anything to touch the food.
