Practical Tips for Long-Term Food Storage?

[MintJulepMaven]

Storing food for the long haul can be quite the task. Been experimenting with various methods myself, but does anyone have tried-and-true strategies that really work? Interested in optimal conditions for dehydrated goods, canned items, and even seeds for potential gardening. All insights appreciated!

Interesting discussion. I'll need to think about this some more.

Dry canning is a highly underrated method. I swear by it when it comes to storing dehydrated goods. Been using it for years and it significantly extends shelf life. Has anyone else had success with this? Just make sure you're using quality canning jars and a reliable vacuum sealer to keep the moisture out.
