Top 10 Survival Foods to Stockpile When Planning for Catastrophic Disasters

canned food

For lunch and dinner you'll want a variety of food, but at the same time, you should be mainly relying on foods that contain a high amount of protein. Alaskan wild salmon, jerky, and many of the other foods listed below are high in protein and also contain the vital nutrients you need to survive.

These items are also easy to stockpile and will stay good for months to come. In the case of stockpiling sea vegetables, if you happened to get wounded in the wilderness, these vegetables could aid in tissue repair and wound healing!

3) Canned Alaskan Wild Salmon

Rich in protein and healthy fats like omega 3s. Like tuna fish, you can eat canned Alaskan wild salmon right out of the can, without cooking. If refrigeration isn’t an option, plan to share one can of salmon with 2-3 other people at a time, so nothing goes to waste.

4) Jerky

Dried meat, if you remember, is a long time proven survival food used by Native Americans and American pioneers alike, and also used by primitive tribes around the world. While these primitive tribes use smoking and sun drying methods to create “jerky”, today commercial methods of drying meat do this on a much larger scale.

5) Brown Rice

High in calories and protein, as well as essential vitamins and minerals like iron. As a dry, non-perishable food, brown rice also has a long shelf life making it a great survival food. “Brown rice hot cereal” is a far better choice because it cooks in just 5 – 8 minutes and is still packed with nutrients and high in calories (one cup of brown rice hot cereal provides 600 calories, 12 grams of protein, and 16% daily value for iron and is easily rationed out in to smaller portions).

6) Dried Beans

Kidney beans, black beans, garbanzo beans, lima beans, pinto beans, and others are all high in calories, contain a fair amount of protein per serving, and also several essential vitamins and minerals. Dried beans come in packages larger than canned beans but for the amount you get weigh quite a bit less. Finally, dried beans have a long shelf life. Dried beans will stay good in the back of your car, your office survival kit, and of course, your pantry of survival foods at your home or cabin.

7) Sea vegetables / Powdered Super Greens

A popular item selling in health foods stores today are the sea vegetables that come in powdered form, or pill. In a time of catastrophic disaster, most communities are going to be hurting for fresh produce. Sea vegetables are a super food, packed with vitamins and nutrients and health benefits that help boost immunity, provide tissue repair and wound healing, and can even have antifungal and antibacterial properties.

    most of the things mentioned don’t keep that long ( a few years at most) they don’t mention rice or may dry goods or honey.

    I agree. I have a large stockpile of beans, rice, flour and sugar, in three different locations (2 Bugout and home). Plus canned goods.

  5. Dave Hummel said:

    Plus no mention of real honey (real raw honey never goes bad), the fact that brown rice doesn’t have the shelf life of white or balsami rice.

    Nope. I prefer to live paycheck to paycheck, and spend my money on fast cars and cheap dates. Life is too short, and I like being a slave to the government. Long live the sheep! lol…

    Yeah was you talking to me???????????????? Let me tell you something. I don’t have to tell you$#%&!@* but here goes anyway…….there #1…..is nothing wrong with keeping some food put in a safe place in case of disaster…..#2…I am a born again Christian and am simply stating that just because Jesus will pull us out before the Antichrist takes charge does not mean it won’t get ugly here before. We could get hit any second. You have to admit Christians have sat by and did nothing to try to stop this gay marriage, abortion bs that’s going on. I mean the blacks had their million man march for their beliefs. Everybody protests but the Christians. Yet we complain and whine about the laws and government. I don’t think any atheist would choose there fb page to be Heaven Bound……bye bye
