How To
How to keep food alive in a survival situation
The best way to preserve food in a long-term emergency is by drying it. Drying food makes them last longer by removing moisture. It also reduces bacteria growth.
Because dried fruits don't require much preparation, they are great for snacking in an emergency. They are lightweight and easy to take with you. You don't have to worry about weight gain.
While you can dry fruit at your home using a dehydrator and a sun oven, it's much more convenient to do so in a commercial setting. You can dry almost any food with a solar oven, including 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. 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. Then follow this with vinegar. Vinegar is a good way to kill harmful bacteria and stop mold growth.
To begin, you will need to chop up your food into small bits. Either a pair of scissors or a sharp knife are acceptable. You can use scissors or a knife to pack your items well.
Place the food in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and leave it somewhere warm until it dries completely.
Once food has dried completely, it can be stored in a sealed container. Take care not to let any food touch it.
