Beans/dried lentils
Dried beans will last for at least several years. Beans are a great source of essential dietary fiber and carbohydrates when you’re dealing with an emergency or are low on supplies. Store dried lentils in a cool, dry place.Dried fruit
Dried fruit can last many years but it should be stored in a safe place away from fumes it can soak up. Since dried fruit can soak up flavor elements from its surroundings, you should store it in a clean, dry room with enough air ventilation to keep it from being stuffy.Honey
Honey is well-known for being the longest-lasting and most sustainable food source. Honey can last a very long time, especially if you keep it in a dry place with the lid on at all times. If your honey becomes crystallized, you can melt it down again. Place the container in a bath of warm water, and the crystals will melt down to syrup. (Related: Canning, drying and more: The art of food preservation across cultures.)Maple syrup
Like honey, maple syrup easily stores and preserves for many years when kept closed, sealed and in a cool, dry place. If maple syrup crystalizes, you can also melt it by putting the container in a bath of warm water.Oats
Oats are a versatile ingredient. You can serve them hot with either savory or sweet toppings.Powdered milk
When looking for Vitamins D, C and calcium, powdered milk is the perfect stored option if you don’t have access to fresh citrus or fresh dairy. Powdered milk retains its nutritional value even after it has been dried and stored for several years. When buying powdered milk, look for products that are specifically designed for long-term storage.Rice
Rice keeps itself dry so it also has a long shelf life. White rice is the most recommended because brown rice has the highest possibility of going rancid over time. Whatever kind of rice you get, opt for the dehydrated form and seal it properly.Salt
Salt is naturally long-lasting even without human intervention. In a pinch, you can use salt to preserve meat. However, you will need a lot of salt for meat preservation so keep that in mind if you plan to do so after SHTF.Soy sauce
Soy sauce is fermented and salty and it can last a very long time even without refrigeration. Make sure you store soy sauce away from fumes so that it doesn’t get tainted by outside smells.Sugar
In its purest form, sugar can last almost as long as salt.Vinegar
White vinegar and apple cider vinegar are fermented and impossible to spoil. Keep vinegar closed and store it in a cool, dry place away from fumes that can get into the liquid and taint it.Where to get long-lasting pantry staples for your stockpile

They’ve been called “casual survivalists” and “prepper-lite.” Now, a phrase has started popping up around the preparedness industry highlighting the rise of the “Lifestyle Prepper,” particularly in American cities.
Unlike “Doomsday Preppers,” those who can be classified as lifestyle preppers aren’t building bunkers or living off-grid. They don’t can their leftovers for long-term storage and they probably don’t own a freeze dryer. But they’re concerned about potential future emergency scenarios and they do not trust government agencies to do more than give them beans and rice during sustained supply chain disruptions.
“Basically, these lifestyle preppers want to live well through apocalyptic situations,” said Jason Nelson, co-founder of Prepper All-Naturals. “They don’t just want to survive, they want to ‘surthrive,’ as I like to put it.”
The biggest concern facing millions of Americans who are starting to stock up on survival gear is the coming presidential election. Regardless of who wins, many believe it’s likely that the losing side will cause massive disruptions through riots and possibly even acts of domestic terrorism. The FBI has warned of such possibilities as well.
Any major disruptions to the supply chain in major metro areas could prompt grocery store runs that could empty the shelves in a matter of hours. Those who do not have enough food will become dependent on government organizations like FEMA to supply them. This is what “lifestyle preppers” hope to avoid by stocking up on high-quality long-term storage food rather than living off poorly made survival food for weeks or even months at a time.
“The whole reason we launched with Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin was because we’ve personally eaten the ‘beef crumbles’ being offered by survival companies and we couldn’t imagine trying to live off of that for a long time,” said Nelson. “I ate military food for two decades and it’s far better than some of the stuff that passes as ‘survival’ food today.”
Being a “lifestyle prepper” means having well-made, nutritious food as well as water and other essentials on hand in case of “bug-in” scenarios. These aren’t people who are necessarily wanting to live off-grid but they also do not want to be reliant on living within a system that breaks under the weight of world events.

The survival steaks offered by Prepper All-Naturals have shelf lives of 25+ years. They are made from all-American beef, which is the only ingredient. They don’t even add salt which allows the beef to be used in a wide variety of dishes.
“We want our beef to not just get stuck in a closet for emergencies,” Nelson said. “People certainly can do that but they can also break open a bag in a different kind of emergency such as when friends or relatives are coming over unexpectedly.”
