Bug Out Location Food Storage best foods to store in cold locations Alaska off grid cabin
Off Grid Food Storage foods safe to store below freezing
hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper I'm out a Granny Camp which is my Alaska off-grid cabin in
Alaska I like to spend a lot of the summertime out here but I've never been
out here and stayed in the wintertime and I thought to myself what if I
actually needed to come out here use it for a bug-out location
what kind of food could I store out here it wouldn't matter how cold the
temperature got and how could I store food away so they didn't get contaminated by
critters by water and that the temperature wouldn't affect it
the three biggest problems you need to worry about when you're storing food is
the temperature the packaging and the pests and critters they can get into it I've been
experimenting with leaving food out here over the last two years to see what
foods will keep over the long cold Alaska winter and still be safe to eat
no matter the circumstances one thing I've learned is that it's perfectly
great to store packaged foods so I do leave some things like the Mountain
House some MREs and I even buy packaged noodles things like that and I'm able to
leave packaged foods MRE Mountain House and dry foods out here but these are not going to be a good container to store
them packaged foods MRE Mountain House and dry foods need to be repackaged for long term storage to keep them safe from pests because of the critters they're going to get into things I might even
have a problem with bears so one of the things that I've done is store the packaged foods MRE Mountain House and dry goods into
buckets you can put them into buckets seal up the lid the hard plastic helps
eliminate the problems with the smell keeps your packaging safe from the
things pests critters that can burrow dig and chew I take the Pasta Roni packaged foods I put one box
into a ziploc sandwich bag then I roll up the bag and store them together in a
jar to keep food at my off grid cabin store food for a bug out location store food below freezing locations
it's sealed with a lid the package is now safe from animals that can chew and
it's also safe because the smell is not drawing wildlife and to look for
something to eat
common dry goods that you can store in an off grid cabin or bug out location where temperatures fall below freezing
off grid cabin or bug-out location where you can't control the temperature and
how low temperature goes would be your basics like flour and sugar
just make sure you put the dry foods in an air proof container to store food safe from pests from critters and also to keep moisture out
keep foods safe from moisture it's wonderful to store things like baking soda salt baking
powder with these containers are not airtight so you would want to get some
extra jars and replace those contents into a jar and label it salt baking soda baking powder flour sugar so that you know
know what food you stored at your off grid cabin or bug out location
spices are good to store so stock up on the basic spices that you like make sure then that
the spice containers are airtight so that you don't have a problem with contamination
I like to store teabags I like to store oatmeal and then I have brown sugar
raisins and dried cranberries that I like to enjoy with my oatmeal and these
have all lasted over the cold Alaska winter sealed up in jars they were still
fresh enough I could enjoy them all this summer even though they were stored at my off grid cabin or bug out location with no heat in below freezing temperatures so that's something that I'm
going to continue to store oatmeal brown sugar raisins craisins dried fruits it would probably work to store the dried
ingredients like the oatmeal for many years but I don't think I would continue
to store the raisins and craisins over years at a time so I will replace those
most likely and if there's any left over I'm sure I'll eat them and find out how
long dried fruits can actually be stored in an off grid cabin or bug out location where the temperature goes below freezing store dried beans and rice or everyone's go-to for an
emergency situation and they are dry goods that are great to store whether it's
an off-grid cabin or a bug-out location if you're like me and you have a
location where you can't control the temperature and things will freeze think
about packing up dry goods whatever food you decide to store make sure that
they're in appropriate packaging so that you keep out the pests critters and any
moisture put them in jars put them in plastic containers with them in plastic
bins keep foods sealed up so they'll stay fresh as long as possible no matter your
circumstances make sure your stocking up on
food and supplies while things are readily available to ensure that you and
your family will always be okay no matter what happens
