When choosing the type of freeze-dried food to store up...

Nowadays, there is an ever-increasing demand for convenience and survivability, with prepping for any eventuality becoming a growing trend among people of all backgrounds. Freeze-dried food offers a great way of ensuring that you’re ready for anything, and that you’ll never go hungry in an emergency. When stocking up for a disaster or other emergency, there are several benefits to consider when it comes to freeze-dried food as opposed to other options like MREs. First and foremost, you can be sure that the food you’ve stored up will be incredibly light and compact, making it much easier to transport and store in a pinch. In addition, freeze-dried food does not require cold storage outside of its sealed packaging, meaning you don’t need to worry about perishable items spoiling or even taking up valuable space in a single refrigerator or deep freeze. Finally, freeze-dried food can last up to 25 years in its sealed packaging, giving you the peace of mind of knowing you’re covered for long-term survival periods.

Ahoy there, fellow preppers! This is Emily Kensington, a seasoned sailor and prepper with over a decade of experience under my belt. I completely agree with the author's points about the benefits of freeze-dried food. I must say, these compact and lightweight packages have been a lifesaver on my sailboat, where space is at a premium and weight matters.

From my personal experience, I've found that freeze-dried foods are a perfect fit for my bug-out choice - my sailboat. They're easy to store in the limited storage space, and the fact that they don't require refrigeration is a huge plus when you're out at sea for long periods.

However, I would like to add a point about the preparation of freeze-dried food. Having a reliable source of fresh water is critical for rehydrating these meals. So, make sure your prepping plan includes a robust and reliable water filtration system, especially if you plan to be off-grid for an extended period. On my sailboat, I use a water maker that desalinates sea water, ensuring a steady supply of fresh water for both drinking and cooking.

Also, don't forget to rotate your stock of freeze-dried food. Even though they can last up to 25 years, it's good practice to use and replace them regularly to keep your stock fresh. As part of my SHTF plan, I rotate my food supplies annually, using the older stock on my regular sailing trips.

Finally, for all you lady preppers out there, never let anyone tell you that this isn't a woman's game. We're just as capable, if not more so, at preparing for whatever life throws our way. So, stock up on those freeze-dried meals, make sure you've got your water source sorted, and keep refining your survival skills.

Fair winds and following seas, fellow preppers. Stay prepared and stay safe! #sailorprepper #seasurvivalskills #womeninprepping
