Best long term survival food

Good tip! i have a few tins of that...

hormel chili, half life of 25,000 years

Rice grown in the southern USA in old cotton fields contains high levels of arsenic. It drinks up the pesticide from the fields. Consumer Reports outed this dirty little fact.

enjoy

not to worry we ship all that shit to california

Well thats long term!
How was this tested lol?
Does it taste any good?

Its what Al Bundy would eat!

It doesn't taste good when its fresh.

Ok when i say long term food I mean 5 years!
not 25000 lol!

OK so don't buy rice from usa!
What is your recommendation?

Peanut butter

I would like to know as well. Please share peeps!

Eating small Meals regularly in time of famine causes practitioners to STARVE faster

Than people that regulated their intake by eating their allotment all at one mean once a day

The body goes in fasting mode after so many hours without food - saving and conserving body tissues - will NOT waste muscle during that time

Small meals keep the fire burning - depletes stores continuously !

Also

AUTOPHAGY - please write that down and research

Your body cleans up and sweeps out the junk cells if you FAST for a period of hours - because the cells aren’t BUSY processing food - more food- more food - damn it never stops for some people

Intermittent Fastingn is a SURVIVAL technique - repairs the body during down time for feeding - nourishes better when food arrives

It was so refreshing to find out I could skip
Meals whenever I wanted - eat one meal a day - and have MORE ENERGY doing it !

Then you won’t panic when the meals look sparse - you can survive and thrive

Quinoa has just about all you need to survive. Protien carbs vitamins and minerals but you have to use yor water supply to cook it.

Anything freeze dried lasts close to 10 years if it's stored properly.

And you have power! ...?

RICE, BEANS, CORN, canned goods, they last at least 2-5 years

Top tip!

Here you go, treat yourself OP:

I have some caveats for that list. Most honey is primarily corn syrup. Dried beans will take a lot of fuel and water to cook through after extended storage and they will still be chewy. Water is going to be at a premium in any survival scenario. As someone else mentioned, rice is full of pesticide garbage. Any product that contains an oil, such as the wheat products mentioned, can have its oil go rancid. Coffee may taste fine forever, but tea does not. It gets bitter and harsh. Most of the powdered milk I've ever had has had a rancid smell and taste to it. I've been buying a specific version of that Nido stuff instead of Carnation because it is way cheaper. Don't buy store brand dehydrated milk products.

If you can find canned peanut butter, that is a decent several year alternative that is loaded with calories and protein. It has to be truly canned though, not some peal top. It might get a bit boring but you can spice it up more than you think.

Last, but never least, stock up on dried spices that have decent shelf lives. You probably need to give herbs a miss because they don't last nearly as long as most spices do. A little flavor can really take the edge of off a crisis. I bought 5 pounds of habanero powder years ago and it still goes into my dishes and produces heat and flavor today. Black pepper is a number one to keep, right after salt. Speaking of the habanero powder, hot sauces like Tabasco last a long time under any storage method due to having high quantities of vinegar and can make some less than savory foods at least edible.

Thanks :)

Powdered peanut butter. Bought a jar in June of this year; says good thru 6-2021 so about 2 years.

Damn I hate peanut butter!

I'm currently doing intermittent fasting (every other day OMAD)and water fasting every-other-day/ This is working great for me. This will be very useful once the SHTF. Still good to know of longer-lasting foods.

Buy foods that you will use. Canned goods, tuna, whatever.

Don't buy MREs that nobody wants anyway.

I would look at Mormon information as they have been at this for a while.

But really, just get food you like at a good price.

Maybe some mac and cheese.

I remember my mother bought some stuff from an army surplus store for camping and travel.

The canned water was ok.

And the canned fruitcake was surprisingly good!

I bet if you found a can of it today, it would still be good.

Dry pasta lasts almost forever...peanutbutter is great! All the proteins, fats & carbs a growing boy needs, no cooking or frigitation!

I pulled out a plastic jar of jif (unopened) that was 5 years beyond it's expiration date...it was perfect! Ate the whole jar (but not at one time).

I've never heard this before.

started buying dry butter and dry eggs on amazon.
