5 Myths About Food Storage

Over the years of building my own food storage here on the Gubba Homestead and sharing it with others there’s a few common questions and what I would call myths about food storage.

In this video I go over the top 5 myths of food storage and address each of them.

What do you think the five are?

Myth 1: Food Will Expire

All foods have best by dates which I would consider more of a guideline and security measure for the packaging company. Foods stored in methods like canning can often go years past their best by date. Always rely on your sense of smell and sight when determining if the food is still good.

Myth 2: Only For Americans

This one makes me laugh and is so crazy to me. Building security in food storage is something I believe everyone should do. It prepares you for anything life may throw your way. Something as simple as a job loss or something as extreme as a natural disaster.

Myth 3: Storage Is Selfish

Many people think preppers like myself building a food storage are the ones running to stores and clearing the shelfs. Do you really think I’ll be going to the store during some type of crazy emergency clearing the shelfs? Or will I instead be at home comfortably living off the food storage I built up over the years?

Myth 4: Food Storage Is Hard

Having a plan for food storage and knowing where to start can be a challenge. Luckily for you I created a bundle and a course at http://learn.gubbahomestead.com This course also includes the bundle of printables to help you and I tossed in 10 delicious pickled egg recipes along with the video training.

Myth 5: Food Storage Is Expensive

If done wrong food storage can be expensive however shopping for deals or buy one get one free over time is a great way to start building your food storage. Think about it if you picked up an extra can when they are on sale each week you’d have 52 cans in your mid/long term food storage in a year!
