I have eaten canned foods 3+ years past the expiration date with no ill effects.. Just watch for dented cans!

@JADA121603

Same here. Everything points to canned goods being safe to eat for many many years as long as the can isn't dented, swollen, or have a breached seal.

this way you can hold onto the canned goods longer before having to use them. Always KEEp in mind, WATER! Water!. Your going to need water to cook some of your foods, BUT if there should come a time where there's no water? A friend told me during the war, her parents planted potatoes inside the house with dirt/sand. Canned SOUPS for WATER content. Again, vacuum pack dried fruits and nuts.

@2groomer

yes Water is important. I will most likely do another video just on water. It is important to store water AND have a way to purify additional water.

@realkingkado

most people seem to store it in large fat deposits around the stomach, hips, and thighs.

As far as canned goods we can alot of are own food. This summer we open a jar of beans from 1986 and they tasted like they were just picked. We also can alot of meat that way you don't have to worry about if the power goes out and stays off. We usually do around 100# of beef, pork,chicken and some wild game such as deer like my dad always said "if it runs eat it". My goal is to be able to have enough food and water for about a year, I have my own well, food about half way their. Great video.

If you are looking for really long term food storage. You can get dehydrated complete meals that really taste good and can sit on your shelf for 15 years before losing any of their nutritional value. There are no chemicals or msg in these foods and the best part is if you haven't been hit too hard by the economic crunch yet, and you can afford the largest package, you will pay only $.91 per serving. You can get smaller pkgs, but you will pay a little more. go to 4longevity.myefoods.com

Canned goods are great. Be attentive to the possibility of Water "shortage" . Canned soups are good for the water content. Peanut butter, tuna fish have a long shelf life. may want to dehydrate fruits, like apples and pineapple, which don't need water to rehydrate. Also dried fruits of all kinds, vacuum pack them. Keep rotating the food and if there's a food shortage, this is where dehydrated foods come in handy, as long as you have water to cook them, this way you can hold onto the canned .

It will be LESS bulky, but still much bulkier per meal than raw goods like rice, oats, etc.

Also, if you break open the MREs you gain a little more space, but then they are not as portable, which is one of their biggest advantages. You have to grab a bunch of loose items instead of one pouch.

You should store enough food that you don't have to 'ration'. You want to moderate how much you use to make sure it lasts as long as its supposed to, but food is still cheap enough that anyone can by enough to have their normal 2500 to 3500 calories a day for up to a year.

A 50lb bag of rice currently costs $20, and contains 80,000 calories. That's 27 days worth of 3000 calories a day. Almost a months worth of calories for 20 bucks. There is no excuse to not have food stored!

Yeah strange, but totally accidental. 

[starlordish]

@TheLordHumungus take mre and break it up. then it wont be bulky
