When you’re stuck in a SHTF situation, you want to know that your food will last you.
Whether you’re snowed in and unable to leave the house, having to lodge unexpectedly at your bug out shelter, or you’re stuck indoors because things have become too dangerous outside, your food needs to be able to last.
What if you’re stuck in your underground bomb shelter for the next two years? Will your food supply last you?
You never know how long you’ll have to wait it out.
You’re in luck. We’ve got the answers on which canned foods have the longest shelf life, and which ones will be the best choices to stock up on in case of an emergency.
Check out the video on the next page to learn what cans of food tend to last the longest!

Is it because they are high in salt. Or can all can good last if kept in cool place
How old is this video? If he was bragging about the pink salmon date was 2016 it must be a few years old.

Deborah Collett. Yes it is because they are high in salt. Not all canned goods can last more then a year. If you are looking for foods that will last for many years your best bet to avoid high salt content are dried foods. Beans, rice, pastas, dried potatoes and such items. The best thing to remember is Oxygen is the enemy of all things. So if you buy a large bag of rice and want to store it you should also buy mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. You can get them online and find instructions to use them properly. For example. Rice stored properly can last in a cool dry place for up to 35 years.
id rather die than eat spam…
And of course a recent study has shown this information is wrong. If the can isn’t rusted, bulging, crushed or emitting a bad smell then most likely it is good. Of course the swedes can rotten fish, so just eat that$#%&!@*anyway, its supposed to be swollen and smell like rotten fish…
I was thinking the same thing.. besides spam can go 10 years
But remember, store them in a cool, dry place.
Sho nuff. The ones with the most salt.
I’ve eaten beef out of the freezer that was six years old. I’m still here.
spam pizza in the moning,yum.

I found out working in retail that ‘sell by’ dates are set mainly by the manufacturer and based on sales cycles more than food spoiling.
preservative overload..cancer in a can
I don’t store pull-top cans (except freeze dried). I’m afraid they won’t last as long because air can leak in more easily if they are accidentally dropped or banged up.
It’s on the second page.
I’d rather have beans and rice!
I just started canning my own meats in mason jars. Curious to see how long they’ll last. Plus I’d much rather fresh, preservative free meat I’ve inspected myself than spam or that other crap

Anything in oils or fats, and canned.
If you like this stuff, then check out Keystone Meats. It’s canned beef, Pork, or Chicken , canned in nothing but sea salt and water. Good stuff.
In 1972 we ate k rations from 1944.It didn’t taste too bad,,the cookies were rock hard and the cigarette s were stale.
sardines yukky
we have around here at the Attwoods canned hamburger and ground pork 1lb each so we got some of that too
love spam
Good video, I hope to see more info videos or articles on Inexpensive long term food items , he was right about the cost of mountain house and other brands, some of us are on a very tight budget.
Can your own foods. Just bought ham for 97¢ per pound. Pressure can it! Home canned foods (most) last for years.
