[QUOTE="Cinaet, post: 1506478, member: 14666"] I'm no expert. There are others on the board who know much more about these things than I do. That being said, I understand shelf life depends a great deal on how the food is packaged and stored. Of the things you mentioned I'd say some items would be okay for anywhere from a year or two under poor storage conditions to almost indefinitely under optimum climate controlled conditions. I've read they've found seeds and grains hidden in pyramids that are still viable as food. Introduce your wife to LDS planning and preparation and she'll understand that you're neither alone nor crazy. Talk to her about Katrina, the Japanese earthquakes and tsunami, the 1812 New Madrid earthquake, the flu epidemic of 1918 and the Great Depression. No one on the planet is immune to some kind of potential catastrophe. Planning for at least a short term disaster is the wise thing to do. Even the USofA gubment encourages disaster planning. Good information can be found [b][url=http://drum-runners.survivaltimes.info/]here[/url][/b]. [/QUOTE]
