Good list!
I might add those dried gravy packets. A cup of water and one of those packets, you can have some nice turkey or country gravy, does very well over ride or beans or egg noodles.

I get frustrated reading these articles, because I’m no where near prepared for such a situation and for one big reason: I live in Florida.
A lot of preppers in my area lament the warm, moist conditions as not being conducive to adequate long-term storage. It’s often very humid, water gets into everything over time, and storage of things like rice, beans, and pasta is often measured in months and not years.

Cornmeal: All-purpose flours are good to store, but cornmeal may be the best overall. Cornmeal is packed with dense carbohydrates and contains oils that helps extend its shelf life.Uhhh, I may be wrong, but I've always thought the oils in ground cornmeal would turn rancid after being stored for a long while (assuming the bugs didn't ruin it first), unless you oven can the cornmeal in jars with lids, or vacuum sealed it in #10 cans or mylar bags with oxygen absorbers.
I would think for really long term storage (i.e. years) it would be preferable to vacuum seal or mylar bag whole corn and then grind it as needed for cornmeal. Keeping it as whole corn until needed makes it less likely the oil in the kernel will turn rancid.
Someone with more experience with storing corn/cornmeal can maybe confirm this or explain it better.

What about the life of cured meats, like smoke, sugar or salt cured hams?

Canned Meat: Canned meats like ham, tuna, and chicken are excellent to store. Why is there no canned pork? I can get chicken, beef and tuna, but I can never fond pork. (besides ham)

I’m also interested in learning how best to store salt, sugar, and spices, for long term storage. For large quantities of salt and sugar is vaccum packed in large mylar bags in plastic buckets with oxygen absorbers and dessicant packs adequate to keep it good/useable for 2 years or more?

My favorite recommendation: 50 pounds of rice or bread flour costs under $20 at Costco. One sack for one “yuppie food stamp” and you can feed an adult enough calories (maybe not nutrients, but at least energy) for over a month.
