very nice, jebrown, now we have a thread to send people to in the future when they ask how long __________ lasts

 

[jebrown]

Blob, you are entirely welcome. I did a disaster preparedness seminar the other day and this question came up as always. I thought it might be helpful to the good people here, especially the new ones just getting started.
Not knoweing how long the shelf life is for foods is what stops some people from preparing. People are always amazed at the shelf life of foods. Many think that you would need to replace everything in two to three months tops.
