food shelf life

[hardheart]

Can't seem to search a string of more than one word again, so I have to start a new thread, sry.

Anyway, can someone make/point me to a list of foods you'd carry or store, and how long they'll last approximately. Stuff with nutritional value, I think I could keep Twinkies forever

Here's a few online sources with info on food storage and shelf life.

Captain Dave's site has a food storage FAQ: http://www.survival-center.com/
Walton Feeds self reliance/information area: http://waltonfeed.com/self/index.html

If you're thinking of food to store someplace until you need it, if you can keep it cold an MRE is tough to beat. IIRC they'll last like 8 years at room temperature. .
