Many people think of a survival kit as just having your food, water, and first aid. While this is true and they are very important items that you’ll need...there is SO much more to it than those 3 simple items.
If you’ve ever dabbled into the field of survival food, you’ve probably noticed that a lot of the bulk foods come in large buckets or something similar, but you didn’t think twice about it, right?
These large buckets/containers holding your emergency food are not given enough credit.
Food storage containers are almost just as essential to the quality and shelf life of your food as the food is itself.
Let’s start off by explaining what it means to be a survivalist.
By definition, it is a person who practices survivalism and who has prepared themselves by stocking food, water, etc. in order to be ready when something major happens.
So you want to know if you have what it takes to survive, right? We’ll go through a series of the basic skill sets that you will need to know in order to call yourself a survivalist.
How To Dehydrate Food At Home For Long-Term Storage
Home dehydrating is one of the simplest ways you can put food away for long-term storage yourself. It’s been done for centuries and has kept many a family fed through road trips, food shortages, or just simply through the winter. Home-dried food is easy to store, has a decent shelf life (3-5 years if stored properly), and is lightweight and easy to transport.
Survival Skills: Advanced, Basic, Primitive. Be prepared for anything.

...I’m glad you asked!
