    Food concept

    Still doing trash .
    So heres is a concept that keeps tickling my brain .
    weekly I see people throw out canned food ( Lots of canned Food ) Patios beans Spam tuna there seems no end to cabinet cleaning
    and yeah the dates will be from like 2011 2012 2013 but really there still good .
    As it goes to trash truck, I say to my self starving people in the world and this is what goes on . I hits me each time and I think if SHTF WW3 Invasion happens and food shortages like mass America has never seen happens.
    Those foods from 2011 could save your life If your starving to death, canned food 20 years old would be considered. Sure it's excessive talk here
    but tell it to the people of the blizzard in NYC that never happened supermarkets sold off food like crazy , just imagine a never ending situation.



    I also find old coolers good plastic Styrofoam . So here is the concept I load coolers with the canned food then silicone seal door shut with 50 or 75 year silicone . Then bury coolers under the frost line . The temperature is stable there .
    I figure they could sit till dooms day . I should save the food some place, Not sure EPA would go along with the idea of under the frost line .
    From what I read as long as there is no breach food will last . But some foods acidic in nature wont last cause metal will degrade the seal .
    Foods packed in water last best . I also find plenty of bottled foods . Any how just thinking as food is key . 200 pounds of brass till the world reorganizes wont save you.
