Food Storage and Introduction

[JD1]

Hi Boy Scout

I think the thing with food is to store what you eat, preferably stuff with a long shelf life that doesn't need any form of refridgeration.

Unless you are rich and have plenty of space it is impractical to store only tins as 3 tins a day per person works out at over a thousand tins per year per person. Rice is ideal as a 20kg bag can be bought for less than £20 and can provide up to 100 days worth of food for one person and doesn't take up much space. I agree with you that it is bland so storing enough tins etc to spice up rice meals would help, but as a staple food rice it is ideal. Stored in tubs with mylar and it will last many years

It's also worth storing some big tubs of wheat grain as it lasts for decades (unlike flour), just remember to store a grain mill as well
