So long as you won’t introduce coffee to moisture, it's shelf life is indefinite. Shelf life for all cocoas and teas can be prolonged by using desiccant packets and through repackaging it with vacuum sealing. 12. Whole-Wheat Crackers image via gozamos Bread doesn't have the luxury of shelf life however, crackers have (but still see its container for expiration dates). That's why they are a good substitute. Crackers are also a good source of fat, this is the reason whole-grain or whole-wheat crackers have a briefer time shelf life than their plain partners, yet the additional fiber compensates when you're hungry. Vacuum-pressing the package of your crackers will extend its freshness. 13. Nuts and Trail Mixes image via eatthis Nuts and trail mixes are high-energy foods.

Canned meats provide protein, consider having a jerky, it’s easy to make and knowing what’s in it is perfect. Having canned goods in your emergency pantry does help. 15. Sports Drinks | Gatorade or Powerade contains carbohydrates and electrolytes that help replenish fluid and re-hydrate when water is insufficient. Considering having these in your emergency pantry. Let's get the basics for a long term food storage, from this video of Starry Hilder: Bare in mind my fellow homesteaders, that this list is just the basic. Feel free to add and modify it to meet your needs. Take note you are stockpiling food to survive winter but still, eat the food you like. Don't buy items because they're on sale, that can end up to waste your space. Also remember, stockpiling depends on your means. If you are supplementing with what you can buy from the store, create a list of everything you have and check expiration dates. And keep can opener handy, food won't of any use if you can't open it. If you are solely depending on the fruits of your labors, it is best to have them dried, or canned or both to prolong its shelf life.
