Way longer than your average person but I'd start running out of supplies after few months too. I have food stocked up for few months, 90 litres of drinking water and a water filter, 120 litres of diesel plus what I have in the tank, enough fuel to run alchohol stove for few months aswell and I have a fireplace to keep myself warm basically indefinitely.
It's kind of scary to think that even me whose somewhat of a prepper would run out of supplies quite quick. What does that mean for the average person who doesn't even have a jug of water stored up.
Also, this is the kind of discussion that would fit well on !zombiesurvival@sopuli.xyz
I've always wondered. Do you folks just chow on nothing but canned food ands military reasons for a few months straight every couple years when things expire? Or just donate?
Don't get me wrong. I think it's good to have emergency supplies. But things expire...
They could just eat them from time to time and replace them with new ones gradually.
I mostly stock up on items I'm using anyways such as rice, beans, noodles, sugar, coffee, crackers, honey, peanut butter etc. and I'm constantly using the oldest packages from my stock and replacing them with fresh ones.
Expired can food doesn’t go bad. Unless the can is budging it’s fine
