What do we look for in finding the best survival food for our own individual situation...?

My pet peeve is finding weevils and bugs in my food storage, so to me the best survival food is whatever will last for years with no fear of that! :)

How LONG and How MANY?

How long do you need to prepare ahead for - and how many mouths are you preparing for?

That is the first step in determining what foods are best and what type of food storage system to use.

Budget and Timeline

What is your plan as far as ... do you plan to buy it all at once or are you wanting to buy a little at a time.

If you are wanting to just bite the bullet and store enough food to last for a year or more, then you are a kindred spirit of mine. :)

However, here are a few things to bear in mind with long term food storage.

WHERE and HOW are You Planning to Store Your Survival Food?

There are several options available. My personal preference is the freeze-dried food,(and the best for long term) as it is prepackaged to last for 30 years, so all you need is a cool dry place to store it.

WHERE to Purchase Freeze Dried Foods?

I would like to really caution you here as because of the economical situation we are finding ourselves in, there are countless scammers online that are taking advantage of uneducated people that are simply wanting to get a little ahead of the deal, by marketing so-called year supply food units and if you examine them closely you will be surprised at what it is.

I would also highly recommend getting that food supply SOON as many of the food companies are back on track with shipping again after having to tell folks their orders were on back-order for several weeks.

All it takes is some emergency situation or pandemic deal, and people will panic again. Don't be one of those that will be waiting on their food supply, and wondering if they will even GET it!

Wherever you purchase your best survival food at, make sure they offer free shipping as the food units are heavy and shipping can be a huge cost.
