Storage will vary for each family or individual depending on their facilities. There are basic suggestions on storing your survival supplies, but these suggestions are not always doable for everyone, so we do the best that we can do at the time and make a plan to do better. Of course those plans usually require funding and in the current economy for some it is just impossible and for the time being the future is not looking to promising.
Basic Food Storage:
-
Store food in a
cool dry place.
Do not set
directly on a
cement floor or
against a cement
wall.
Leave a few
inches for air
flow.
-
Freeze dried and
Dehydrated foods
that are packaged
in cans
preferably using
a nitrogen back
flush, with an
oxygen content
of less than 2%.
At the very
least sealed in
a bag where most
of the air is
removed.
-
Foods that are
prepared in the
home canning
process in jars
should also be
stored in a cool
place.
-
Store foods that
you like to eat
as well as foods
that provide
protein and
balance
nutrition.
Seed
Storage:
-
It is very
important that
you store your
heirloom seeds
in paper such as
an envelope, so
they can breath.
If you close
them up in a
plastic bag or
air tight can,
they will most
likely rot but
will be dead
when you get
ready to plant
them. This
warning is
mostly for seed
ROOKIES.
You can put some
seeds in plastic
bags, but they
must be dried
with no more
than 15%
moisture left in
them and I would
only recommend
storing well
dried beans and
none other.
-
Absolutely do
not freeze them.
Keep them dry at
a moderate
temperature,
slightly on the
cool side.
