How To

How to keep food alive in a survival situation

It is best to dry food when it is in urgent need. Drying food helps preserve them for longer. It also decreases the risk of bacteria growth.

Dry fruits are great snacks for emergencies because they don’t require preparation. You can take them with you and eat as many as you wish without worrying about weight gain.

A dehydrator can be used to dry fruit at home, but it is more efficient to use a solar oven. A solar oven can be used to dry many foods, such as meat, fish, and vegetables.

The most important thing when preserving food is to ensure it is airtight. This prevents oxygen from entering the container and spoiling the food. 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 helps prevent mold growth. Next, you should add vinegar. Vinegar kills bacteria and inhibits mold growth.

You will need to first cut your food into small pieces. Either a pair of scissors or a sharp knife are acceptable. It is important to pack everything tightly so that air doesn't get in the container.

Next, place the food in a bag. Place the food inside a plastic bag. Keep it warm until it dries fully.

You can seal the container once the food has dried. It is important not to let food contact other things.
