In preparation for a disaster it's important to stockpile food and water. If a disaster strikes you want to be ready. If you are caught in the middle of an event happening like a hurricane or tornado there will not be any time for preparation for disruption of markets, communication, transportation and normal routines will occur....survival foods must have long shelf lives to handle the emergencies that could come up. When looking for the right survival food you need to consider a few things: calories per pound, fat, salt, and cost. But you also might want to consider shelf life and how easy something is to prepare without access to modern facilities.

3. INTRODUCTION
In preparation for a disaster it's important to stockpile food and
water. If a disaster strikes you want to be ready. If you are
caught in the middle of an event happening like a hurricane or
tornado there will not be any time for preparation for disruption
of markets, communication, transportation and normal routines
will occur....survival foods must have long shelf lives to handle the
emergencies that could come up.
When looking for the right survival food you need to consider a
few things: calories per pound, fat, salt, and cost. But you also
might want to consider shelf life and how easy something is to
prepare without access to modern facilities.
If you're planning a camping trip or a long-term emergency
situation, then you'll want to store food with an extremely long
shelf life. This can be hard to find, so in this Ebook, I'll share some
of my favorites.

4. MRE'S
MREs stand for Meals Ready to Eat.
These are military rations that can
be eaten hot or cold, and are
lightweight and portable. They have
a long shelf life and don’t need any
special preparation before eating,
which is an advantage in a survival
situation where you may not have
access to cooking facilities. The
variety of foods available in MREs
makes them ideal for when you want
to eat something different than your
usual fare.
There are many different types of
MREs on the market today, including
vegetarian options as well as
kosher/halal ones (or both). They
also come with various caloric
contents depending on your needs:
some contain 2200 calories per day
while others have only 1200 calories
per day! Be sure to check this out
before purchasing them because if
you buy too many high-calorie meals
then they won’t be very practical for
everyday use either!

5. Canned food is a good option for long-term storage. It’s a great
choice if you don’t have the ability to store dry or freeze-dried foods.
Canned food can last for years, but will be more expensive than other
options in the short term.
Canned food comes with high sodium levels already added to it,
which can be problematic if you eat canned foods for an extended
period of time. In general, we recommend limiting your daily sodium
intake to no more than 2,400 milligrams (1 teaspoon).
CANNED FOOD

6. Freeze-dried food is dried food that has been frozen and then
dried. The freezing preserves the nutritional value of the food, but
it also makes it lightweight and easy to store, so it's ideal for
survival situations.
FREEZE-DRIED FOOD
Because freeze-dried foods are so lightweight and don't require
refrigeration, they take up less space in your bug out bag than
canned goods or other types of dehydrated foods. And because
they last a long time without needing to be refrigerated, freeze-
dried meals have become popular in emergency kits for people
who live in areas prone to earthquakes or other natural disasters.
If you're looking for a convenient way to stock up on high-quality
proteins, carbohydrates (including white rice), fats (including
peanut butter), vitamins and minerals—all ready for action at any
moment—you'll find them here!

7. If you just need a quick meal, ramen noodles are the way to go.
They're inexpensive, easy to make and can be eaten cold.
RAMEN NOODLES
They're perfect for camping or for using as a quick breakfast or
lunch when you don't have time to cook something more
elaborate. You can also prepare them in a variety of ways
depending on your taste and what ingredients you have on hand:
add some vegetables, throw in an egg or two and voila! You've
got yourself an omelet! Or maybe you prefer having your noodles
with meatballs? No problem!
And because they come in so many flavors (chicken, beef and
oriental), there's no end to the combinations of ramen noodle
dishes that could be created by combining different flavors
together (for example adding shrimp flavor into chicken broth).

8. PEANUT BUTTER
Peanut butter is a staple food for any survivalist. It's high in
calories, but it's also a good source of protein and fat. Peanut
butter has vitamins and minerals that you need to survive,
including vitamin E, B6, thiamin—and it tastes pretty good too!

9. Beef jerky is a great source of protein and can be stored for a
long time. You may have to wait until you're in the middle of
nowhere to eat it, but once you are, there are plenty of ways that
beef jerky can help keep you alive:
BEEF JERKY
It doesn't need to be cooked so it's perfect for eating on the go.
It's high in protein, making it an ideal food for people who don't
have time to hunt.
It makes an excellent snack when eaten solo or with other snacks
like crackers or applesauce (if you've got any).

10. Vegetables are a good source of vitamins and minerals, with
many offering more than one dose of those nutrients. However, in
order to get the most out of your veggies you'll want to make
sure they're fresh. If you can't use them right away, keep them
refrigerated and eat within three days or freeze them for later
use.
Vegetables that can be eaten raw (like lettuce) have a shorter
shelf life than those that require cooking (such as broccoli).
Vegetables like carrots, potatoes and onions are some examples
of vegetables that can be stored for longer than others due to
their lower moisture content.
VEGETABLES

11. The foods you store in your survival kit should last a long time.
The length of time they'll keep depends on the type of food. For
example, dehydrated and freeze-dried foods will last anywhere
from 5 to 30 years (depending on the brand), while most canned
foods are good for 1-2 years after opening. To tell if your food has
gone bad, check the expiration date or give it a sniff test: if it
smells rotten or sour then throw it out!
THE FOODS YOU STORE IN
YOUR SURVIVAL KIT SHOULD
LAST A LONG TIME.
If a container is swollen or bulging, don't eat any contents from
that container—the food inside could be contaminated with
water vapor caused by fermentation which causes mold growth.

12. CONCLUSION
If you have a survival kit, it’s important to know what kinds of food
are best for your family. We know that there are a lot of options
out there and that many people have their own preferences. But if
you stick with the basics outlined above, we think you’ll be
prepared for anything!
