Long-Term Food Storage
2HOURS is your source for long-term food storage and emergency preparedness supplies. Our incredibly diverse selection of food storage products from leading brands such as Mountain House and Wise Food Storage will help protect you and your family in emergency or disaster situations. Our freeze dried meals and dehydrated foods can last up to 30 years when kept in storage conditions (excluding stand-alone pouches). This means that you do not have to rotate your long-term food products. Pouches not stored in airtight buckets have a shelf life of around 7 years if kept in proper storage conditions.
Calories are a vital factor as part of your food storage planning. In order to determine your family’s food storage needs, you should think in terms of the amount of calories per person, per day, and then in terms of nutrients (such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals), and finally in terms of cost per serving.
During high-stress situations, our bodies require more calories than usual to operate in peak conditions. Under normal situations, most adults require about 2,000 to 2,600 calories per day, with higher calories need for high levels of stress or activity. Children usually require about 1,500 to 1,600 calories per day, but remember to take into account their physiological development. Since they are growing, their hunger may outpace or parallel your own!
Proper Storage Conditions
All food storage should be kept in a dark, cool, dry place, with an ideal temperature of 24.4°C (76°F) so that your food storage will last for its maximum shelf life of up to 25 years, and for up to 30 years on Mountain House products!
