How To

How to keep food alive in a survival situation

To preserve food in an emergency situation, drying is the best option. Drying food helps preserve them for longer. It also decreases the risk of bacteria growth.

Dry fruits are great snacks for emergencies because they don’t require preparation. They are portable and can be taken with you wherever you go.

Although you can dry fruits at home with a dehydrator or oven, a solar oven is a better option. A solar oven can be used to dry many foods, such as meat, fish, and vegetables.

Food preservation is best done by making sure it is airtight. This prevents oxygen from entering the container and spoiling the food. If you seal the container tightly enough, there won't be any need to add preservatives.

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

To get started, you'll need to cut up your food into small pieces. You can use scissors or a knife. Pack everything carefully so there is no air in the container

Place the food into a plastic bag. Then seal the bag and place it somewhere warm to dry completely.

Once the food has dried, you can place it in a sealed bag. It is important not to let food contact other things.
