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 makes them last longer by removing moisture. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria.

Because dried fruits don't require much preparation, they are great for snacking in an emergency. They are lightweight and easy to take with you. You don't have to worry about weight gain.

While you can dry fruit at your home using a dehydrator and a sun oven, it's much more convenient to do so in a commercial setting. You can dry almost any food with a solar oven, including meat, fish and vegetables.

It is vital to make sure food is sealed tightly when it is being preserved. This prevents oxygen entering the container and spoiling it. It is not necessary to add preservatives if you seal the container well enough.

If you do decide to add preservatives, try adding salt first. Salt prevents mold growth. Then follow this with vinegar. Vinegar kills harmful bacteria and prevents mold growth.

First, cut the food into small pieces. You can either use scissors or a knife. Pack everything carefully so there is no air in the container

Place the food in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and leave it somewhere warm until it dries completely.

After the food is dried, seal it in a container. Take care not to let any food touch it.
