Canned food if properly stored will last over 20 years. I know this from experience. In Vietnam I was eating C Rations from the 40’s. I’d take them any day over LRP’s or MRE’s.

Food canning was developed circa 1810. There is a true story about a museum in Great Britain who found some sealed tinned meat from the Napoleonic Wars in the late 1930's and fed it to the museum's cat. The cat enjoyed the historic treat and did just fine. It would have been at least 125 years old at the time. The museum staff, of course, were not willing to lend themselves to such an experiment.

When in the field one night I opened a can of CRat Chili. I pulled out an 5 inch long vein from some animal. I then started bargaining for fruitcake.

My son still has c rations - hope they are good if we need them.

My friend, who passed away at 101 years old, opened a can of tuna from the 90’s and ate it.

She was 97 then and had the best time eating it on a sandwich

Are you kidding? I love LRRPs!
