How To

How to keep food alive in a survival situation

It is best to dry food when it is in urgent need. Drying foods removes moisture which makes them last longer. It also reduces bacteria growth.

Because dried fruits don't require much preparation, they are great for snacking in an emergency. 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. A solar oven can be used to dry many foods, such as meat, fish, and vegetables.

Airtightness is the most important aspect of food preservation. This stops oxygen from entering the container, which can cause food to spoil. 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 that with vinegar. Vinegar kills bacteria and inhibits mold growth.

First, cut the food into small pieces. You can use scissors or a knife. Be sure to pack everything securely so no air can get inside.

Next, place your food in a ziploc bag. Keep the food in the bag until it dries completely.

After the food is dried, seal it in a container. Make sure that nothing touches the food.
