Day 21: The best way to store food…
Here is my everyday survival knife
I”m giving it to you for a one time deal (see now above)^^^
Food storage how to: Food storage can be overwhelming. I once had a lady explain to me that it was like eating an elephant. Well how do you eat an elephant? The answer to that is one bite at a time. What do I mean by this? Setting up your food storage has a few criteria. One of them is that you need to actually like the way that it tastes. Another is that it has to last for a big duration of an indeterminate amount of time. The way that I like to have people initially tackle this problem is this, if you need five cans of beans by six or 10. If you like bread, stock up on wheat. If you stock up on wheat you also need to get a wheat grinder, salt, yeast, oil, and all of the things required to create bread. Then here's the kicker, here's the most important part. Go make some bread out of your food storage. If you don't know how to do it now, you're not going to know how to do it when it matters. One other major point with food storage is it can't all be carbohydrates and junk food. I realize things that come in packages are easier to store. However if you only have carbs literally make you sick. If you try to live off of just bread, just carbohydrates, just garbage food you will regret it. During the Great Depression there were a number of people that survived specifically because they learned how to can meat. Sadly this could mean canned beef, canned mule, or even canned dog. This initially sounds gross but canned meat tastes just like roast beef if done correctly. The act of canning is essentially to pasteurize the food with heat and seal it in with the vacuum that is created when the heat shrinks from being cold. So what's the takeaway with all of this? Store what you know you're going to eat. Have the ability to process all of your raw food materials into a finished product and practice this. Have a power source for any tools needed to do so. store protein in abundance in conjunction with your carbohydrates. Buy just a little more of the food you are already buying anyway, and put it away each time you get your groceries. Lastly, use it and rotate your food storage into your normal meals. Otherwise you won't be able to find any failures in your system.
