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 foods removes moisture which makes them last longer. It also decreases the risk of bacteria growth.
Dried fruits are great for snacking on during an emergency because they don't require any preparation. 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.
When preserving food, it is essential to make sure that the container 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 is a good way to prevent mold growth. Next, add vinegar. Vinegar kills bad bacteria and stops mold growth.
To get started, you'll need to cut up your food into small pieces. You can either use scissors or a knife. Make sure you pack everything well so that no air gets inside the container.
Next, place the food in a bag. Cover the bag with plastic and let it dry somewhere warm.
Once food has dried completely, it can be stored in a sealed container. Take care not to let any food touch it.
