Plentiful supplies are vital during a disaster. Here are a few foods that will last nearly forever, possibly up to thirty (30) years if stored correctly.

1. Honey. Honey discovered in Egyptian tombs was found to be edible. Because of that fact, we can safely say that honey will last forever. But as with sugar, not all honey will last. The ones that will outlive you are pure, raw, local honey.
The honey you buy in general stores (the cheap kind) is heated in order to keep it in liquid form for a long time. That heating process destroys valuable enzymes, rendering it medicinally useless.
That being said, pure honey can crystalize. That’s normal. A simple fix is placing it in hot water so it will liquefy.

2. Vinegar. The fermentation process is what makes vinegar last a long time. And it doesn’t have to be refrigerated because it is acidic. It can be kept at room temperature. Any sediment at the bottom of a vinegar bottle is not an issue. It is still good to use and consume.
There are many varieties of vinegar, but white and balsamic vinegar are the ones that will last the longest. It should be stored in glass bottles or jars, and the containers should be airtight and kept in a cool dark place away from heat sources.
That being said, vinegar should be kept away from the stove or any place that is heated and then cooled. Simply put, the variance in temperature is what you don’t want.

3. Rolled Oats. You may not like oats, but they’re healthy and have an extra-long shelf life. They contain protein and soluble fiber. Oats would be a great breakfast choice during a food shortage.
Oats can be ground into flour and used in recipes that require flour. Oats should be stored in a cool, dry place in airtight containers.

If you go on over to Off the Grid News you will find even more foodstuffs that will last for extraordinarily long periods of time.

Survival does not have to be a difficult thing. As a matter of fact, if you have a plan, some cataclysms can be dealt with and survival – aiding those in need as well as your own family – will go off without a hitch.
