Aside from buying MREs, extra canned food from the grocery store, freezer meat, etc., freeze dried food is by far the best method for long-term foods. Although it costs more up front, there are so many advantages of freeze-dried food including its long shelf life. So, if you're not really gung-ho with commercially-produced freeze dried food, have you considered making your own? Especially when food prices are soaring? You can, with a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer.
