white sugar is going to be crucial during an extreme survival because life needs a little sweetness. White sugar lasts for years. I have canned sugar that is 10 years old

Honey in food storage doesn’t go bad. Don’t melt. It’s beneficial for the immune system, digestive system, contains vitamins and minerals, and is an antioxidant.

Finally it has all come to an end. I’m not going to pretend like this hasn’t been difficult. It sure has, especially being pregnant. But I know a lot of meal choices I will not use in an emergency now. Hopefully it has all been beneficial to someone out there as well. For dinner tonight, [...]

What a day. I expected this meal to be one of my least favorites. It was Tuna Gravy. I grew up with this meal, so I like it when it’s made with all fresh ingredients, but with canned butter and canned milk, I wasn’t sure it would taste good. For my pregnant tummy it tasted [...]

The dinner for tonight was simple and only required 1 cup of water that I would likely throw away in an emergency (celery juice isn’t appetizing). It all went well, and only too about 5 minutes (except for hydrating the vegetables). I just followed the recipe and everything tasted good. Although I would let the [...]

Another day without power and running water. I decided to make Hobo dinners, with canned meat of coarse.

I didn’t get [...]

Extreme Survival Food Storage Day 1 I’m keeping track of all the water use to be exact. Cereal is still a great food item for extreme survival. However, since you can’t keep the milk cold, with no electricity, you’ll either have to eat it plain, with warm milk, or some oatmeal. So that was not [...]
