How To

How to keep food alive in a survival situation

In a long-term emergency, drying food is the best method to preserve 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 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 could use a solar oven to dry all sorts of foods, including meat, fish, vegetables, and grains.

When preserving food, it is essential to make sure that the container is airtight. This prevents oxygen entering the container and spoiling it. 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 helps prevent mold growth. Follow this step with vinegar. Vinegar kills bad bacteria and stops mold growth.

You will need to first cut your food into small pieces. Either a pair of scissors or a sharp knife are acceptable. Be sure to pack everything securely so no air can get inside.

Next, place your food in a ziploc bag. Cover the bag with plastic and let it dry somewhere warm.

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