How To

How to preserve food in a survival situation

The best way to preserve food in a long-term emergency is by drying it. Drying food helps preserve them for longer. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria.

Because dried fruits don't require much preparation, they are great for snacking in an emergency. Dried fruits are easy to transport and can be eaten as much as you like without worrying about weight gain.

You can make dried fruit at home using a dehydrator, but if you have access to a solar oven, this would be ideal. A solar oven can be used to dry many foods, such as meat, fish, and vegetables.

The most important thing when preserving food is to ensure it is airtight. This prevents oxygen from entering the container and spoiling the food. It is not necessary to add preservatives if you seal the container well enough.

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.

You will need to first cut your food into small pieces. You can use a knife or scissors. Pack everything carefully so there is no air in the container

Place the food into a plastic bag. Place the food inside a plastic bag. Keep it warm until it dries fully.

You can seal the container once the food has dried. You must be careful not to allow anything to touch the food.
