RE: What tinned food is best?
we tend to stay away from most soups because of the low caloric value. if your family likes peanut butter, like we do, that is great survival food. no cooking required. I read in a book once to try to cover the three big groups: fats/oils, carbs, protein. best advice I've heard is what ghost said at the beginning- stock food you eat now so that you can rotate it preventing spoilage. plus lowers the stress level a little if at least your eating familiar foods, not a bunch of stuff your family hates.
if I had to pick only four:
veg oil, flour, beans, peanut butter
In my opinion, food seperates real preppers from fakes. I started getting serious about prepping because of hurricanes and got caught with my pants down once not having enough meat on hand to last 2 weeks after a major storm. Swore that wouldn't happen again. I've come across many people here in the states that have firearms but no food and think they're prepared for anything. that's one of the reasons I like this site is that its about survival, not getting more guns.
