How To
How to keep food alive in a survival situation
Drying food is the best way to preserve it in an emergency situation. Drying food helps preserve them for longer. It also decreases the risk of bacteria growth.
Because they don't need to be prepared, dried fruits are ideal for snacking during emergencies. You can take them with you and eat as many as you wish without worrying about weight gain.
Although you can dry fruits at home with a dehydrator or oven, a solar oven is a better option. To dry any type of food, you could use a sun oven, such as meats, fish, vegetables and grains.
The most important thing when preserving food is to ensure it is airtight. This prevents oxygen entering the container and spoiling it. Preservatives are not necessary if the container is tightly sealed.
If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt prevents mold growth. Follow this step with vinegar. Vinegar kills bacteria and inhibits mold growth.
Start by cutting up your food in small pieces. You can use a knife or scissors. Make sure you pack everything well so that no air gets inside the container.
Next, place the food in a bag. Seal the bag and leave it somewhere warm until it dries completely.
Once the food is dry, you can store it in a sealed container. You must be careful not to allow anything to touch the food.
