Here's a great starter list that can help you start building a supply of non-perishable foods to help you get by should a catastrophe occur. These simple little foods may make all the difference in a SHTF situation!

1. STAPLE SURVIVAL FOODS THAT ARE NON-PERISHABLE

You’ll need to be really careful about keeping these completely dry and free from moisture, but if you can manage to store these in air-tight containers, they will keep for an incredibly long period of time.

Rice: white, wild, jasmine, Arborio and basmati (brown rice does not keep forever)
Hardtack crackers/biscuits
Dried cranberries

2. OTHER SURVIVAL FOODS THAT ARE NON-PERISHABLE

Although some of these food items will change texture, thickening or hardening over time, they will only change in terms of taste. These survival foods never spoil, and will still remain edible long after their flavour has changed.

Honey
Molasses
Maple syrup
Dried lentils
Dried beans
Dried split peas
Dry mix Jello
Gobstoppers

3. SURVIVAL FOODS THAT IF FROZEN ARE NON-PERISHABLE

Though these non-perishable foods last a long time if they’re left out in the open, if they’re frozen, their shelf life extends to indefinite amounts of time.

Dried pasta
Noodles
Dried fruits (such as raisins, dried cranberries, dried cranberries, dried cherries, dried apricots, dried mangoes, dates, dried blueberries, dried plums, banana chips, figs)
Instant/freeze-dried coffee

4. BASE INGREDIENTS THAT ARE NON-PERISHABLE

Apparently, these base ingredients can be the perfect survival food. According to some sources, if you simply keep them unused, in an air-tight container and completely free of humidity and moisture, and you’re likely to never have to buy them again.

Corn starch
Baking soda
Corn syrup
