5 Food Storage Items That Will Last Longer Than Any Apocalypse

[Lightspeed]

I'm with BP on tinned corned beef. 5 year old tins now being used and absolutely no problems whatsoever. These get stored in plastic boxes in outbuildings. Because of zero corrosion of the tins at this time, I'd give them 10 year shelf life in the store.

SS: we avoid tinned fruit completely. Fruit is either dried or bottled. The bottled stuff lasts pretty well. So far nothing over 5 years in the store so that's as far as I can vouch for it.

Tomatoes: This year we are planning on making and kilner jar bottling our own puree. Otherwise we've been having success over winter with a variety called Big Boy ( beef tomatoes) that can be stored green for many, many months and then ripened in a draw with bananas or ripe tomatoes over a day or so. Try it, you might be surprised how well this system works.
