Survival Food Storage: Tips On Food Storage

.One. The first survival food storage secret is to learn to garden and use whatever space you have available. From a back yard area, raised beds, container gardens on a deck or tiny herb pots in the kitchen window, people can grow more than they believe with a little creativity and effort. Use eatable landscaping for plants that are decorative as well as that provide food. Need a couple shade trees? Why not use fruit or nut trees – they are going to supply shade as well as food.

Two. Learn how to ‘put up’ food – canning, food dehydrating and other methods are easier than ever with modern gizmos designed to preserve food. It needs a minimal effort – but on a kitchen counter you can dry enough herbs for a year ; you can make real powdered and flaked pepper, garlic and onion.

Three. Next survival food storage secret is if you freeze food, be sure you have got a means to keep it going in a crisis. If the electricity goes off you don’t want to lose a year’s supply of food! Have a generator and fuel, get a propane refrigerator, have some method of keeping that food cold. Putting food aside is only part of insuring your food supply – storing it safely is the other issue.

Four. Be discreet. Don’t gloat about your food supply and don’t spread the news you have half a year of food in your basement. If you do, and there is a crisis, you could be overrun with people who know you have plenty stocked away. Are you then prepared to defend your food supply?

Five. Storage a problem? Use areas most don’t think about. The cupboard is good for many things but if you are putting up many jars of spaghetti sauce, preserves, soups and other sauces you are going to need room. Have a protected corner of the basement up off the ground ( enough that a wet floor will not damage the food ).

Six. Here is another survival food storage secret. Along with your food supply have a means to prepare food including water, griddle and gas/wood/charcoal, etc . If a storm knocks an area down for 2-3 weeks be in a position to rely on your own resources for those 2-3 weeks. Have on hand not only prerequisite items but some luxury items too. These could include a little candy, or cookies or something that just makes things a bit more like home.

Seven. Don’t forget storing private hygiene items – you can make a ‘composting toilet’ from free plans onlinehaving this available with sawdust or chips, toilet tissue and other items can seriously increase the comfort in an emergency.

Eight. Do not depend on the governing body helping – or on folks being friendly. A disastrous situation such as New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina showed the govt can’t handle it – people have got to be ready to depend on themselves. Prepare and have plans in place for tornado, fire, emergency evacuation and sheltering in place ( being confined to home ). Remember a train derailment or other issues can change things in a hurry! Practice that evacuation. You have 10 minutes- what do you grab? Hesitating can be deadlyhaving a plan can imply survival.

Nine. Be able to cook from nothing, make bread and do other skills to get thru if you had to. If you have the food stocked up it doesn’t do any good if you can’t use it. If you are dependent on mixes make your own mixes in Ziploc bags that seal firmly – label with a marker right on the bag with how much liquid, egg and oil to add. In a pinch, that bag can be the bowl – simply put wet ingredients in and mix, then pour into a baking pan. Experiment with your griddle to make things before you have got to.

Ten. Having the ability to hunt and fish can suggest having a continual food supply. Having fishing gear and hunting supplies can imply the difference between eating or not. In the depression some spoke of having a little dog that would go thru culverts and flush out rabbits while the big dog at the other end dispatched the rabbit as it ran out. Sporting? Maybe not but if it comes to eating or not, how moral will you be after not eating for four days?

Get prepared now. Work on getting things growing, on learning the skills you have got to to survive. When the general public food supply is interrupted it’ll be too late.
