Best Long-Lasting Foods for Your Emergency Stash?

[OrbitJazz21]

Trying to tighten up my emergency food setup and looking for more ideas on long-lasting staples. I've got rice, beans, and some freeze-dried stuff, but I'm curious what else folks are actually storing that holds up for years without a ton of maintenance. Has anyone had luck with canned meats or powdered eggs? I'd love some suggestions for foods that are both durable and actually edible when you need 'em.

Home-canned veggies and soups last ages if sealed right, and hardtack’s not gourmet but basically immortal. Ever tried dehydrated fruit leather? Keeps forever if stored dry.

Dehydrated fruit leather is a favorite here, holds up surprisingly well in mylar with an O2 absorber. Ever have any issues with home-canned soups getting mushy after a year or two?
