I’ve cracked open from the shell almonds that I picked more than 8 years ago.

I ate them.

Guess what?

they taste like almonds...

;-)

It is certainly important to be aware of shelf life spans, etc. But think about it.

If SHTF, then looking out two years or so, if by that time we are not growing/farming/hunting for 95 percent of what we eat, then plainly put, we are dead.

So I see food storage as part of a transitional plan, not a long term guarantee.

Every year I save seeds from my garden and literally have pounds of them now. I know they are fertile and I know they came from plants that grew well in my location. That’s all I need to know.

Agreed. Throw in if the country isn't trying to make a comeback then it's done.
