Food for thought. Some cans contain a thin plastic coating inside and the formulation of this plastic has PBA. Which has been found to leach into the food estrogen mimicurs. So whats the problem? Increases or hyper feminizes women and possible cancers of the breast. It effects men also but in a different way. I know when the lights go off thats out the window. But just a friendly FYI
The key to stockpiling, is to buy stuff you'll use anyway, and cycle through your stash regularly. If you like canned pink salmon (I do), buy a ton of it, but start eating a can a week (oldest can first), and replacing it with a new one. Your stockpile is always as fresh as possible that way, without waste.
Love that you're willing to share your info...how do you handle friends and family members that might think you're (I'm) a little nutty? I was willing to teach a preparedness class for our local church, and the pastor censored the content of my class, saying I wasn't to scare HIS congregation...not everyone is onboard....any suggestions?
@TRAUMAMAMMA911 I wish I knew what to tell you,but I don't. I really don't tell anyone I'm a prepper! My wife,neighbor and my father are the only ones who know I prep! My friends think I'm just a hardcore backpacker.I never show people my stock pile!! I like to keep it this way because I never want to become a target!! Some friends know I'm a survivalist/backpacker but not a prepper. Some people wanna be in the dark on this subject because they think the government will save them. What a joke!
Tell your pastor that it's his responsibility to protect his congregation spiritually for the here after.
It is your responsibility to help them prepare while they still have to feed themselves in the here and now.
If he chooses not to learn anything that you are willing to teach, tell him to keep plenty of spices on hand to help make that bible a bit tastier when he is forced to eat it.
@SickNicksFab You can also add to your meat stock by learning how to pressure can. Chicken on sale? Buy the family pack and can away! Today I saw that the hamburger cost twice as much as chuck roast! So I bought a bunch of roast, ground some for burger and cubed the rest. I live at high altitude, so 90 minutes and 15 lbs pressure later, I had 6 pints of burger meat and 6 pints of cubed roast meat for about $12.00...Yummy! You can even buy canned meats at the dollar store! Good hunting!
what if i buy these foods and end up not going through it all in the specific time. my start up plan is taking 1500 this month to go get foods. what should i get??
@wnyprepper Before you buy, plan. How many people in the home? How much room do you have to store? Proper containers to store. With that kind of money you can feed a few people for a long time. If this is a start up split the money between food, water, medical supplies and back up power for things like flashlights and radios.....plenty of good vids here on youtube. GL
@jelman67 Good info on spreading the wealth into several areas...Oh, and all you Rambos out there...make sure that you are actually trained to use all the "cool tactical stuff" in your war surgery medical kit..just the basics unless you REALLY know what you are doing. (I'm not talking about you, jelman67..its for the wannabes) 27 years in the ER has shown me that people do not rise to the occasion, they sink to their level of preparedness. Take an EMT course...worth the time and money. Prepare.
@wnyprepper Buy what you eat, and eat what you buy. Rotate your stock. Our regular weekly shopping trips go into our prep stock. At dinner time, we pull from our stock and replace it next time we go shopping. (and if anything is on sale, we stock up on extras and add to our stock. In other words, our daily pantry is also our prepper pantry. Happy stocking!
@michelexe65 are you serious???....just asking because I want to learn....tuna is good for like 20 years? Actually, am I correct in assuming as long as the can is not bloated out and when you open it it smells ok, that means it's safe?
Thanks for the video. Today I opened a can of kippered herring that I had put away about 3 or 4 years ago. I could not find an expiration date. It was a little reddish-brown but did not smell bad, so I ate it. I haven't gotten sick yet. :)
Expiration dates are driven by the government to get the stuff to keep moving. Its just so sellers have to throw it away and the manufacturer has to make more. Anyone that throws cans away after the date are nuts. That is to say if the can is not damaged.
@Tosy52 I did have a can of sauerkraut go bad the can was all rusted on the inside and the kraut was brown and it was maybe 6 months past the expiration date
When I was in the Army in the 70's, we routinely ate C rations that were canned in the '40's. They were just as good as the newer ones we got occasionally. I never heard of anyone getting one that was spoiled. Back then C rations had cigarettes in them. Different story on the smokes, those were sometimes dry and I heard they gave you a hell of a headrush:)
@stormcrow2525 if those cigs in your C rations were from the 40s no doubt they were un-filtered. Un-filtered cigs can definately give you a head rush.....even fresh ones made today
container. This will kill any bugs that might have infiltrated the package. Keep the container closed after removing from freezer and let it come back to room temp. Fill your jars and seal. Works with pretty much all dry goods that you won't be using slot of at one time
For storing rice. I have a food vacuum that has an attachment that sucks the air out of canning jars. Just fill the jars put in a oxygen absorber and suck most of the air out. It seals itself. I buy my jars at thrift stores and yard sales. I also buy 2 pound bags of rice when they go on sale. There are only two of us so a quart of rice will last a week in a shtf scenario. I have rice that I put up 5 years ago and is still good. Just be sure to freeze it for 24 hours in a sealed plastic contai
@buckwheat40 I have opened some of my older MRE's from 1998 thay where verry verry good with no ill effects. store your MRE's in a cool dark place thay will last a verry long time.
@buckwheat40 As prior military myself, I have eaten MRE's and C-rats that were well over 15 years old with no ill effects. And as for only having 1200 calories, keep in mind 1 MRE is 1 meal. Eat 3 per day and that's 3600 calories so your only being able to eat them for 21 days is incorrect. Please do your research before posting erroneous information.
pretty much what i do.im not a hard core prepper but like to have a stash "just in case" when i go to the store i grab a couple of cans of whatever is on sale or i have a coupon for. i also rotate my stock.
Well thanx for sharing. I'm definitely gonna give this some thought. That spam looks mighty nice. Think im gonna slice me up a few pieces and fry some egss.
How can you stock up on bread or crackers? You can`t !! ThaT is what I would want with everything you have here. But wend you are hungry with or without that spam sure will be good.
I would also add, that some of the research I've done on canned goods say you can actually expect a 10-20 year shelf life depending on the food contents.
I didn't see any canned chicken, does that mean it's shelf life is shorter than these? What about the tuna in the foil packages? Sometimes they run specials on those to where it's cheaper than the canned items..

The Trilateralist Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power - political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical." — Barry Goldwater (1909-1998), U.S. Senator
and even if the can food has gone abit bad steal can be used fore bait . by the way if you get the cance try crawdads thet turn red when cooked and have a mud strike like shrimp but they taste great espeshely the claws thire is a trick to removing the mud strick look it up
Great video… I have found that the pop top cans have a lower shelf life of about 3-4 years. The other stuff 5-7 years, with no notice change in eating.. the higher the salt content the longer it will last, just not that great for you to eat. We try not to store our wet canned stuff as a store and forget item.. I think to be safe it should be rotated through your normal cooking. Throw in a 5lb bag of rice with your canned meats and you can eat for a week. Thanks for posting.
ALDI's tons of cheap canned goods. hurry though, hyper inflation on the rise. you wont get as much tomorrow as you could today. Cans can last a lot longer than the date too.
Mixed vegetable cans from wally world are only like 89 cents a can. Soups around the same, dollar store vienna sausages are a really good item as well.
Nice vid but, however, I did see a vid from southerprepper1, he showed a "pull top" can of fruit that blew it's top shortly after the ex. date, so I would choose foods that do not have the "pull top" on them if I could find them, there are a lot of "canned" meats besides Spam to choose from, I know what you mean about the Mountain House stuff way to expensive for me or the kind that you special order too!
Good common sense. Mountain house is making a killing off rich people. Don't forget too we can BUY FRESH food or GROW it, hunt it etc... and can meat, vegetables and so on if we buy a pressure canner. Chuck roast is awesome right out of the jar. You can catch it on sale for 2 bucks a lb or so and can up 25 or 50 lbs and be set.
@CRAZYHORSE091 Search for this video "Why can beef instead of freezing?"
You must have a "pressure canner" not to be confused with a "pressure COOKER".
Tomatoes can be canned in a cheap water bath canner, but things like meat MUST be canned in a pressure canner. Once their done you can just open and eat right out of the jar or add to recipes and it's awesome and doesn't go back if the electric grid goes out for whatever reason.
Look for that vid and the channel name is larrylhall
@vudumojo Thank you for the info. Not sure what the difference is between a Pressure Cooker and a Pressure Canner? Can you tell me?
Also, the term Cold Pack..is nothing to do with freezing. It was a method of canning with some sort of Wax or grease sealing in the top of the jars. Thank you again.
Great video. I was hoping someone would do one on the shelf life of canned foods. MREs are expensive. Also would food like Ramen noodles have a long shelf life. I would also suggest rice and instant potatoes.Another thing you might mention to people that if the shit hits the fan you would definitely start rationing food unless you have like a five year supply or something. Keep making videos on food though because other than water it is one of the most important things to have besides shelter.
Hey, Great post! Also notice that these are all high sodium foods. Just saying for the people with high blood presure, etc. They do stay fresh for very long times, and taste pretty good also, if everyone takes out the "whats in this" idea. In a true survival situation, I can say, people are definiatly not as picky. These are GREAT sources of protein along with some other good ideas of great storage foods are fresh peanuts peanut butter other nuts nut butter beans etc. They also keep along time.
good vid overall...can't agree with you on hoarding Spam...that is some nasty shit. LOL (Of course MREs aren't much better). One suggestion for all viewers...I believe you need a mix of both dried foods and canned goods. Prep with some dried foods in case you need to bug out as this will save on weight. Instead of spending a fortune on Mountain House, invest in a $25 dehydrator and make your own dried meals and preferably vacuum pack. There are recipes for dehydrated meals on the web
@organicprepper Look into PREM it is far cheaper around a $1 a can, and can bought by the case at the "just a dollar" type of stores. PREM actually packages SPAM in their factories. So same product for much cheaper.
I started buying spam but noticed that the price is rather high. When I was growing up, we used to eat fried Treet sandwiches and it tasted very good. Consequently I am making the switch back to Treet which is much cheaper.
Another major issue when buying canned goods is that you have to TELL the person that is bagging your groceries to NOT drop the cans into the bag, but PLACE them in there! I have gotten home from Walmart and the selected undented cans I picked out were almost ALL dented!
Great video! I am looking at items that have a long shelf life also and from what I have found so far, is that Aldi has the canned hams and salmon you had mentioned. I am loading up on other things also but that is my store of choice.
pickled goods like eggs onions etc are they any good? plus my 80 year old grandad ate a tin of peaches 10 years past the expire date and nothing happened him.
You'll know if the food is spoiled, if the can bloats. l'd eat any canned goods regardless of time, as long as it's not swelling. Swelling, or bloating indicates gas from rot, or bugs, parasites, whatever the case may be. But if the can is bloated, and it hasn't expired? Take it back and get your money.Do not! Do not eat it under any circumstances..Good video bud
MREs are the better choice for weight if you have to bug out. Hauling ass with a sack of canned food will slow you down not to mention how unhealthy spam is. It is full of sodium which causes high blood pressure. I guess it is all good if you eat that nasty shit anyway. Good Luck !
Canned foods can last 5 YEARS past their "expiration date." The flavor may start to change and the color / texture might change, but the nutritional value will be fine. Keeping the temp and humidity constant and low is the key. If the food was spoiled, you would know IMMEDIATELY after opening it - your nose will tell you right away.
What criteria do canners use to determine the 'shelf life'?
All of the cans in the video were presumably canned fresh, then subjected to high heat in order to kill any bacteria. The canning process stops any contamination by hermetically sealing the can from any outside microorganisms.
Are there any regulations on canned vienna sausages? Who the hell knows how many years vienna sausages can last sitting stagnant in their can before they 'expire'?
Best to stick food you know how to cook and eat now. Cose if you buy 5yr of tuner an find that you rather eat your mother inlaw. Your wasting your time $
The best thing is to buy them cheap and also buy a pressure canner. Take them out of the metal or steel can and start the date process over buy pressure canning them and you get to extend the shelf life of whatever you want to store. Thanks for the info in the corned beef hash though.
its really got to boil down to the metal tin degrading or leaking crap into the food. shame they cant make an inert metal last as long as the contents . good video mate im sure youre right with keeping the tins cool.
Canned Herring Filets that you can find at Wal-Mart or the Dollar stores usually have a best buy date that goes out between 5-10 years. I just picked up about 100 tins of them for $1 at WM and the date was 2018. Each can has about 300 calories, but pack a good protein and omega 3 punch. One can with a cup of rice and a few crackers is a SHTF feast.

dude canned food will last forever as long as its not been damaged in anyway ive eaten tinned food from the 40's! and that was bout 3 years ago haha never ever listen to the expiration date thats just companies covering their asses

Since this video was made Spam which we eat once a week anyway sliced and fried in a little brown sugar has become in such short supply that sams club for example can no longer carry it. Dak hams in the can are awesome also and the are never available now. I warn all reading this that as the number of preppers continue to increase supply will continue to drop and prices rise. Buy all you can afford before summmer!
The salmon has the least amount of fat (I think) Fats are what make dried smoked cured meats go rancid after a while. They also sell tuna and salmon in foil pouches now that may last longer than cans.
nice vid !!! i have canned good's, 5 gallons buckets and some mountain house to!!! yes i know it's a little pricy but worth the money for a bug out situation.I think to have a backup plan such as food is very important for the transportation factor.
Good points brother. However, MREs are great light weight bug-out meals (entree only). Can foods are great in-place prep, just don't forget about when/if you have to move; then weight becomes an issue. And don't forget a can opener.
I can attest to the ham having a long shelf life. My father always kept one in the closet. If he could talk everyone into substituting the ham on "feast days" like Thanksgiving or Christmas we would have roast ham. He made a ritual about opening it and always had a "witness." proof of pudding was that the gel was clear and not rancid an the ham had no slime on it and smelled good. We had to do this because not everyone like ham as much as he did.
A pantry of MREs, canned foods, home canning, is not intended to last forever, but to give you a buffer of time to plant seeds, cultivate crops and shift to self-reliance off grid, or until the grid and posse comitatus can be restored.
I read online that ketchup, mustard, relish and mayo(?) packets last 5 to 7 years, the jelly in small tubs may last 3 years and that sugar packets also last 3 years.
I am not saying to loot your local restaurants, however these are somethings that you can get for free and stash a little at a time. Some of us don't like these condiments, but when the SHTF, you might be able to trade them to someone who wants a little "flavor" in their meals.
DAMN, MRE's are expensive, when I was in Millitary Cadets, I took home Cartons full of them for camping and what knot, maybe I should join the Reserves again to get my hands on free mre's, I am sure the canadian government wont mind..
Good vid man, I keep quite a pile of almost all of those items myself. Also at most dollar stores you can find rice dinners in alot of flavours for a dollar a meal. Raw dried pasta like spaghetti will last decades if kept dry and out of the sun. Real easy to prep on a dime if you do it piece by piece and rotate the old stuff as the new comes in.
I'd say my neighbor's dog has a good ten years in him still, and the cats, those lovely fat, juicy and succulent cats..., why, they're teasing my taste buds right this minute!
@RICKYRASPER WHAT! i live in Australia and everything has a ring pull, damn but what you say makes sense, im thinking maby i can wax the ring pull edging ill do some research

Great video… I have found that the pop top cans have a lower shelf life of about 3-4 years. The other stuff 5-7 years, with no notice change in eating.. the higher the salt content the longer it will last, just not that great for you to eat. We try not to store our wet canned stuff as a store and forget item.. I think to be safe it should be rotated through your normal cooking. Throw in a 5lb bag of rice with your canned meats and you can eat for a week. Thanks for posting.

Nice vid but, however, I did see a vid from southerprepper1, he showed a "pull top" can of fruit that blew it's top shortly after the ex. date, so I would choose foods that do not have the "pull top" on them if I could find them, there are a lot of "canned" meats besides Spam to choose from, I know what you mean about the Mountain House stuff way to expensive for me or the kind that you special order too!
karenchakey 2 weeks ago
Good common sense. Mountain house is making a killing off rich people. Don't forget too we can BUY FRESH food or GROW it, hunt it etc... and can meat, vegetables and so on if we buy a pressure canner. Chuck roast is awesome right out of the jar. You can catch it on sale for 2 bucks a lb or so and can up 25 or 50 lbs and be set.
Anyway, good vid and God bless.

I would appreciate a short instruction on Canning Meat. Please. Thank You.
I know there was an old way years ago for storing meat and they called it
Cold Pack. You know about that? Hope to hear from you
CRAZYHORSE091 1 week ago
@CRAZYHORSE091 Search for this video "Why can beef instead of freezing?"
You must have a "pressure canner" not to be confused with a "pressure COOKER".
Tomatoes can be canned in a cheap water bath canner, but things like meat MUST be canned in a pressure canner. Once their done you can just open and eat right out of the jar or add to recipes and it's awesome and doesn't go back if the electric grid goes out for whatever reason.
Look for that vid and the channel name is larrylhall

@vudumojo Thank you for the info. Not sure what the difference is between a Pressure Cooker and a Pressure Canner? Can you tell me?
Also, the term Cold Pack..is nothing to do with freezing. It was a method of canning with some sort of Wax or grease sealing in the top of the jars. Thank you again.

Great video. I was hoping someone would do one on the shelf life of canned foods. MREs are expensive. Also would food like Ramen noodles have a long shelf life. I would also suggest rice and instant potatoes.Another thing you might mention to people that if the shit hits the fan you would definitely start rationing food unless you have like a five year supply or something. Keep making videos on food though because other than water it is one of the most important things to have besides shelter.

Hey, Great post! Also notice that these are all high sodium foods. Just saying for the people with high blood presure, etc. They do stay fresh for very long times, and taste pretty good also, if everyone takes out the "whats in this" idea. In a true survival situation, I can say, people are definiatly not as picky. These are GREAT sources of protein along with some other good ideas of great storage foods are fresh peanuts peanut butter other nuts nut butter beans etc. They also keep along time.

good vid overall...can't agree with you on hoarding Spam...that is some nasty shit. LOL (Of course MREs aren't much better). One suggestion for all viewers...I believe you need a mix of both dried foods and canned goods. Prep with some dried foods in case you need to bug out as this will save on weight. Instead of spending a fortune on Mountain House, invest in a $25 dehydrator and make your own dried meals and preferably vacuum pack. There are recipes for dehydrated meals on the web

I started buying spam but noticed that the price is rather high. When I was growing up, we used to eat fried Treet sandwiches and it tasted very good. Consequently I am making the switch back to Treet which is much cheaper.
Another major issue when buying canned goods is that you have to TELL the person that is bagging your groceries to NOT drop the cans into the bag, but PLACE them in there! I have gotten home from Walmart and the selected undented cans I picked out were almost ALL dented!

You'll know if the food is spoiled, if the can bloats. l'd eat any canned goods regardless of time, as long as it's not swelling. Swelling, or bloating indicates gas from rot, or bugs, parasites, whatever the case may be. But if the can is bloated, and it hasn't expired? Take it back and get your money.Do not! Do not eat it under any circumstances..Good video bud

MREs are the better choice for weight if you have to bug out. Hauling ass with a sack of canned food will slow you down not to mention how unhealthy spam is. It is full of sodium which causes high blood pressure. I guess it is all good if you eat that nasty shit anyway. Good Luck !

Canned foods can last 5 YEARS past their "expiration date." The flavor may start to change and the color / texture might change, but the nutritional value will be fine. Keeping the temp and humidity constant and low is the key. If the food was spoiled, you would know IMMEDIATELY after opening it - your nose will tell you right away.

What criteria do canners use to determine the 'shelf life'?
All of the cans in the video were presumably canned fresh, then subjected to high heat in order to kill any bacteria. The canning process stops any contamination by hermetically sealing the can from any outside microorganisms.
Are there any regulations on canned vienna sausages? Who the hell knows how many years vienna sausages can last sitting stagnant in their can before they 'expire'?
I would not trust a $.72 can of tuna to last.

The best thing is to buy them cheap and also buy a pressure canner. Take them out of the metal or steel can and start the date process over buy pressure canning them and you get to extend the shelf life of whatever you want to store. Thanks for the info in the corned beef hash though.

Canned Herring Filets that you can find at Wal-Mart or the Dollar stores usually have a best buy date that goes out between 5-10 years. I just picked up about 100 tins of them for $1 at WM and the date was 2018. Each can has about 300 calories, but pack a good protein and omega 3 punch. One can with a cup of rice and a few crackers is a SHTF feast.

The salmon has the least amount of fat (I think) Fats are what make dried smoked cured meats go rancid after a while. They also sell tuna and salmon in foil pouches now that may last longer than cans.

I can attest to the ham having a long shelf life. My father always kept one in the closet. If he could talk everyone into substituting the ham on "feast days" like Thanksgiving or Christmas we would have roast ham. He made a ritual about opening it and always had a "witness." proof of pudding was that the gel was clear and not rancid an the ham had no slime on it and smelled good. We had to do this because not everyone like ham as much as he did.

I am not saying to loot your local restaurants, however these are somethings that you can get for free and stash a little at a time. Some of us don't like these condiments, but when the SHTF, you might be able to trade them to someone who wants a little "flavor" in their meals.
