When most people think about food storage, they think about freeze-dried and canned goods. While these methods suit some things, I prefer using mylar bags for all my long-term food storage needs. Mylar bags are lightweight, portable, and durable; they don’t take up much space in your bug-out bag or survival kit. And when it comes down to it, nothing beats being able to cook your meals on the go without having to boil water or hunt for ingredients constantly.
