Since I own Survival Cave Food and I wrote the book, The Great American Food Shortage, I feel I have the authority to write about this subject. I know, I know, there's kind of a weird connotation about saying a "prepper", but the truth is that it just means you'll be prepared for some emergency that arises. Not a bad idea.

Hurricanes each year disrupt people’s lives and cause massive destruction in areas where they are prone to strikes. If you live in one of these areas, your best course of action is to get prepared before the storm hits.

 

You can’t prevent the storms, but you can get prepared to lessen the impact on you and your family. I remember living on the east coast and it seemed everyone would try to prepare once a warning was issued but that was often too late and many of the supplies were already gone. I’ve listed some items you may want to stock up on and steps you can take in advance of a hurricane hitting your region.

Emergency Survival Food. Be prepared for a Pandemic!

Ebola Outbreaks

An economic emergency or other situations will make it difficult to buy food as we have seen in recent times. It's always a good idea to have some food storage ready so you will have something to eat in case of an emergency. If you don't know what emergency survival food you should buy, then we have some suggestions for you.

Canned Meat

People always have a difficult time finding protein when they have to build up food storage. This makes sense because most people think about carbs, fruits and vegetables when they want to create their food storage. However, if you're planning to buy survival food, then you should look into your canned meat options.

There are various kinds of meat that you can purchase in a can that will last you a long time.

You will have many options to choose between so you can pick out the type of meat that you like the most. Our meats come in two convenient sizes, our economical 28-ounce cans and our smaller 14.5-ounce cans. Both give you variety so you won't get tired of one type of meat when you need to start eating your food storage. So let's look at some of these canned options.

Canned Beef

Beef is an excellent option if you want more red meat in your diet. It can be difficult to get red meat in a survival situation unless you were somehow able to hunt for animals. However, you might not be able to hunt depending on your situation, so purchasing beef in a can will be a better option for you.

Beef works well as an emergency survival food since you will have a hard time finding it otherwise. On top of this, you can easily take the beef out of the can and warm it and have a delicious meal. Remember that beef goes well with veggie and noodles and rice, making it a great option if you have some of these ingredients available.

Canned Chicken

Chicken is another common canned item that people will purchase because it works for so many situations. If you plan to build up your food storage, then you need to include some canned chicken in it. This way, you can choose this wholesome white/dark meat blend with a home-cooked taste and add it to your different meals during an emergency for a variety of choices.

The chicken will work well with most meals if you want to add some protein to your diet. This includes noodles, vegetables and even rice, so you can always add canned chicken as one of your entree options. This way, if you get tired of dry goods or you want something different, then you and your family can enjoy some chicken with your meal.

Canned Turkey

Turkey is another white meat that will give you more options for your food storage. Turkey is great because it is a food option that people associate with happy moments, such as Thanksgiving. This means that you can have everyone eat turkey during a survival situation as a way to either lighten the mood or help people to feel calmer and nourished.

Turkey will also pair well with potatoes or other starches like noodles if you have any of them available. This means that if you grow potatoes or have canned ones, then you can easily mash them and add some turkey to the meal for more variety. This way, you can have more choices in your emergency food supply so you won't get tired of the same meals every day.

Canned Pork

Pork stands out as a food that can be difficult to prepare, so you can make the process easier for yourself during a survival situation by grabbing our delicious and nutritious canned pork. Pork has a distinct taste that makes it go well with foods such as rice and bread. Due to this, people will enjoy making pork sandwiches with barbecue sauce.

Remember that pork will be difficult for you to find if you end up in an emergency situation. Most areas don't have wild pigs running around, so you will need to find an alternative if you want to enjoy this delicious meat. This means that if you're looking for more protein options that you can't come find, then you have to get some of our awesome canned pork.

Canned Ground Beef

You can use ground beef to make a lot of different foods, which makes it a meat option that you will want in your food storage. However, ground beef will begin to go bad quickly unless you refrigerate or freeze it. Luckily, you can purchase canned ground beef if you end up in a situation where you lose power but you still want some beef. Think of all of the delicious meals you can make including spaghetti sauces, ground beef sandwiches and so much more.

Ground beef is a common food that most people enjoy since they can use it to add to stews and mix it with many other foods. It offers versatility, which makes it a slice of key meat to have during a pandemic or emergency situation. With this in mind, you should definitely add ground beef to your food storage for a staple your entire family will enjoy.

Mixed Meat Combinations

If you can't choose between the different meet options for your food storage, then you can always order our mixed meat combos. These packs will give you multiple cans of the various meats so you can get a good variety of different meats. This works well for people that can't decide which meat they want or who want all of them.

If you plan to pick up all of the meats available, then you should consider the mixed meat combos so you can get all of them instead of ordering separately.

You won't have to worry about trying to cook all of the meats together. This allows you to pick the meats that you want for each situation as you enjoy your delicious food storage.

Conclusion

Each of these emergency survival foods will last for years in the proper storage, which makes them great for emergency situations. You defiantly need to purchase these meat options so you have a nutritious and delicious food supply.
