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 preserves it from moisture, making them last longer. It also reduces bacteria growth.

Dry fruits are great snacks for emergencies because they don’t require preparation. Dried fruits are easy to transport and can be eaten as much as you like without worrying 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. A solar oven can be used to dry many foods, such as 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. You don't need to use preservatives if the container is sealed tightly enough.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt is a good way to prevent mold growth. Then, follow that with vinegar. Vinegar is a good way to kill harmful bacteria and stop mold growth.

Start by cutting up your food in small pieces. Either a pair of scissors or a sharp knife are acceptable. You can use scissors or a knife to pack your items well.

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

After the food is dried, seal it in a container. Take care not to let any food touch it.
