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 foods removes moisture which makes them last longer. It also reduces the possibility of bacteria growth.

Dried fruits can be used as snacks in emergencies and don't require cooking. You can take them with you and eat as many as you wish without worrying about weight gain.

A dehydrator can be used to dry fruit at home, but it is more efficient to use a solar oven. You could use a solar oven to dry all sorts of foods, including meat, fish, vegetables, and grains.

It is vital to make sure food is sealed tightly when it is being preserved. This stops oxygen from entering the container, which can cause food to spoil. 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. Next, add vinegar. Vinegar kills harmful bacteria and prevents mold growth.

First, cut the food into small pieces. You can use scissors or a knife. It is important to pack everything tightly so that air doesn't get in the container.

Place the food into a plastic bag. Keep the food in the bag until it dries completely.

Once food has dried completely, it can be stored in a sealed container. Be careful not to let anything touch the food.
