How to preserve food for survival

Drying food is the best way to preserve it in an emergency situation. Drying food makes them last longer by removing moisture. It also decreases the risk of bacteria growth.

Food preservation is best done by making sure it is airtight. This prevents oxygen entering the container and spoiling it. Preservatives are not necessary if the container is tightly sealed.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt prevents mold growth. Follow this step with vinegar. Vinegar kills harmful bacteria and prevents mold growth.

To begin, you will need to chop up your food into small bits. You can either use scissors or a knife. You can use scissors or a knife to pack your items well.
